Not everyone is legally required to file a tax return, so it may be tempting to skip it. But if you had federal income tax withheld, made estimated payments or qualify for a refundable tax credit, you could be missing out. The Child Tax Credit is for those with qualifying children under age 17. The Credit for Other Dependents is for those who support certain others, including their parents or children 18 and older. Both of these credits begin to phase out at income limits that are fairly generous. If you paid higher education costs for yourself or an eligible student, you may qualify for an education credit. Contact us at (508) 624-5534 or learn more from the IRS: https://bit.ly/3RNQJeB

Struggling with tax debt? An Offer in Compromise (OIC) might be the solution if you’re eligible. The IRS allows qualified taxpayers to settle their debt for less than the full amount owed. If you're facing financial hardship, an OIC can help you get back on track while avoiding overwhelming penalties. The process requires proper documentation, negotiation and a $205 nonrefundable application fee. Be aware that most offers aren’t accepted. But in the right situation, it can significantly reduce an individual’s tax burden. Contact us at (508) 624-5534 to see if you’re a candidate.

Static budgets can quickly fall out of sync with reality in today’s volatile markets.

The IRS generally follows strict collection processes but acknowledges that some people face real hardships. In such cases, the IRS may assign a tax debt to “currently not collectible” status until the debtor’s financial condition improves. While the debt remains unpaid, the total will continue to rise due to penalties and interest. Also, a federal tax lien may be filed, giving the government an interest in the individual’s assets. The IRS doesn’t grant this status lightly. It demands extensive financial proof, which can feel like an uphill climb. Contact us for help with tax debt at (508) 624-5534.

What should you do if you receive a tax refund that’s more than you’re entitled to? Or what if you receive one that you’re not entitled to? Handling these situations largely depends on the details. A paper check refund should be voided and returned within 21 days of receipt to the address in the link below. But suppose you cashed the check. In that case, submit a personal check within 21 days to that address. If the refund was by direct deposit, contact your bank to have them return the deposit. Also, contact the IRS at the phone number in the link. A check for an amount different than expected should include a brief explanation. For more information, contact us at (508) 624-5534 or visit: https://bit.ly/4bIFVXW

Avoid underpayment penalties by staying on top of estimated tax payments and paycheck withholding. If you expect to owe at least $1,000 in taxes after subtracting credits and withholding, quarterly estimated payments may be required. Withholding and estimated payments must generally cover 90% of this year’s tax or 100% of last year’s tax (or 110%, depending on your income). Unsure if you’re on track? Let’s review your situation now to help avoid surprises when you file your 2025 return next year. Call us at (508) 624-5534.

Worried about market volatility and losses in your portfolio? Remember, losses aren’t truly losses until they’re realized; in other words, until you sell an investment for less than what you paid for it. If you hold on to the investment, it might recover. But if you do decide to sell, know that realized losses have a silver lining: They can offset realized capital gains. So if you’re sitting on appreciated assets, this could help you divest tax efficiently. Call us at (508) 624-5534 for more information. (Also, keep in mind that there are important factors to consider besides taxes.)

Many Americans seek to earn money by way of a side hustle, which sometimes starts as a hobby. Reminder: This income is taxable. Depending on whether the IRS considers the activity to be a business or a hobby, the tax treatment is very different. On their tax returns, businesses can generally deduct ordinary and necessary business expenses. But if the IRS deems an activity a hobby, deductions are much more limited. To determine if an activity is considered a business, the IRS looks at key factors. These include whether the taxpayer displays a profit motive, operates in a businesslike manner and keeps good records. To learn more, contact us at (508) 624-5534 with questions or visit the IRS: https://bit.ly/3VJi4BG

Have you changed your business’s name, address or “responsible party” recently? Then it’s time to file IRS Form 8822-B. This form ensures the IRS has your business’s up-to-date information and helps you avoid missed notices or tax issues. You must file it within 60 days of any changes to stay compliant. Failing to do so could result in penalties or delays in processing important documents. The responsible party is defined as the person who owns, controls or exercises effective control over a business and directly or indirectly manages the entity’s funds and assets. Questions? Contact us at (508) 624-5534.

If you itemize deductions and your unreimbursed medical expenses exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income, you can deduct the amount exceeding that “floor.” But many people don’t itemize, and the floor can be difficult to exceed. Fortunately, there may be another way for you to save taxes in relation to health care costs: Contributing to an HSA or an FSA. Wondering how you can maximize your tax savings? Call us at (508) 624-5534.
