Two commonly misunderstood tax terms are deductions and credits. What’s the difference? Deductions reduce the amount of a taxpayer’s income before tax is calculated. For example, on your individual return, you can take the standard deduction or itemize deductions depending on which strategy will most reduce your taxable income. Credits, on the other hand, reduce the actual tax due, dollar-for-dollar, generally making them more valuable than deductions. Certain credits, such as the Child Tax Credit, are partially or fully refundable. This means that if a taxpayer’s bill is less than the amount of the credit, he or she may receive the difference as a refund. Contact us at (479) 361-2201 with your tax questions.

If you sell your home, you may be eligible for a major tax break: A tax exclusion for up to $250,000 of gain on the sale ($500,000 for joint filers). But there are several requirements. One is that the home must be your principal residence. If you’re thinking about selling a vacation home, consider whether you could convert it to your principal residence first to take advantage of the gain exclusion. Or convert it to a rental property for different tax-saving opportunities. Let’s talk about your options. Contact us at (479) 361-2201.

Determining the correct tax filing status isn’t always straightforward. That’s especially true if the parents of a young child live together and aren’t married. Can both parents claim the more favorable head of household (HOH) status? According to the IRS, the answer is no. Only one parent can claim HOH status for a qualifying child. To be eligible, a parent must furnish more than half the cost of maintaining a home for themselves and a child. If both parents contribute equally, the IRS applies a tiebreaker rule to determine who can file with HOH status. Learn more by visiting the IRS at bit.ly/3T5JUp5, or contact us at (479) 361-2201 with questions.

Proper payroll recordkeeping is critical for every business to ensure tax compliance and guard against litigation. Most companies must keep information regarding federal income, Social Security and Medicare taxes for at least four years after the due date of an employee’s personal income tax return for the year in which the payment was made. This is known as the “records-in-general” rule, and various data and documents fall under it. Contact us at (479) 361-2201 to schedule a review of your payroll recordkeeping processes today!

Each year, some taxpayers file their tax returns and eagerly await a refund. But then they find out it’s been reduced or withheld. If a taxpayer has unpaid federal or state tax debt, including child support, the IRS can offset the debt by applying a refund toward it. For some taxpayers, a refund is essential for covering necessary expenses. Losing it can create a hardship. The National Taxpayer Advocate advises eligible taxpayers to document any economic hardship and seek an “offset bypass refund.” Note: this must be done before the IRS offsets the refund, so don’t wait.

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.
