- Ever Wonder What a Tax Deduction Might Save You?
- Taxpayers frequently ask what benefit is derived from a tax deduction. Unfortunately, there is no straightforward answer. The reason the benefit cannot be determined simply is because some deductions are above-the-line, others must be itemized, some must exceed a threshold amount before being deductible, and certain ones are not deductible for alternative minimum tax purposes, while business deductions can offset both income and self-employment tax. In other words, there are many factors to consider, and the tax benefits differ for each individual, depending on his or her particular situation.
- Obamacare Adds New Levels of Complexity to Tax Returns
- Obamacare – or, more officially, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) – insurance mandate, along with its health insurance premium subsidies available from insurance marketplaces, premium tax credit (PTC), and penalty for not being insured, is going to affect just about every taxpayer in one way or another.
- Health Savings Accounts Offer Tax Breaks
- A health savings account (HSA) is a trust account into which tax-deductible contributions can be deposited by qualified taxpayers who have high-deductible medical insurance plans. These accounts are set up at a bank or other financial institution. Income earned on the HSA balance is income tax-free. The funds from these accounts are then used to pay qualified medical expenses not covered by an eligible individual's medical insurance.
- Some Tax Facts for Military Reservists
- Members of the U.S. Armed Forces reserve component often have questions about the tax deductibility of expenses they incur as part of their service in a reserve unit.
- Business Owners Beware — New IRS Matching Program
- Beginning in 2012, banks, credit card companies, and other third-party organizations that settle transactions were required to file informational returns with the IRS that reported a business's credit and debit card transactions and other electronic types of reportable income. The form used to file that information with the IRS is the 1099-K. If your business has credit/debit card transactions, then you, along with the IRS, have received this form in the past.
