Lost hair and lost sleep are only part of the reality for personal accounts as new tax laws come out of Congress and get signed by the President each year. Those brave enough to take a stab at filing this paperwork themselves might find themselves not only simply oblivious to all the new taxes changes, but how those changes might benefit them. Learning exactly what these changes are or spending for that personal tax assistant might cost a few dollars, but might be the soundest investment you make.
Generally taxes are due on April 15, but because April 15 is Emancipation Day Washington D.C., the IRS extended the deadline to April 18. According to the IRS you might have to wait until possibly last minute to file your taxes this year, since an important change focused on itemized deductions, specifically relating to sales tax, tuition and fees, alongside educator expenses that has taken place. This change occurred late as the federal level didn't pass some tax codes until after the IRS was forced to make hundreds of thousands of new ballots. The IRS said they are trying to fix the problem and that they have already worked to reprogram computers, announcing a new bulletin will come by about mid-February regarding the file.
Pre-printed tax forms will not be sent to anyone this year. While the federal government is attempting to make changes, many libraries and post offices will carry a limited number to supply filers (it is notable, however, not all libraries may have them, so be sure to contact them prior to going to going to see if they have what you need). Assistance for those who made $49,000 a year or less will continue, and can be found by calling 1-800-906-9887. This free service is provided by the government, and is staffed by a IRS certified volunteer.
The economic recovery act includes many pieces, including credits that often went unclaimed last year for single or married Americans. A tax credit ranging anywhere from $6,500 to $8,000 might be available to new and old homeowners, and for those who added green-friendly improvements to their homes might see a $1,500 credit. How many uniquely various credits might exist to benefit you varies, but getting free assistance to get back your hard-earned money certainly shouldn't.
Those making just under $10,000 are not required to file a tax form, however considering not filing and missing out on various incentives would be a waste of money. Several tax credits and incentives have been put in place to help to provide assistance to those who need the money the most. If you are considering not filing for income tax this year, you might miss out on hundreds of dollars of your own money.
