  1. Were You Aware of These Tax Season Tips for 2023? Tax Season Tips for 2023

  2. With tax season just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to spend your hard-earned money. If you haven’t started tax preparation for this year yet, now might be a good time to think about whether or not the tax system is still working for people like you. After all, there are so many ways in which we can get our money back — and if there were ever an opportunity for someone paying taxes early on their investment returns and building nest eggs instead of spending them all at once (like me), this would be it! So here are my top tips for getting ready for this year:

  3. Have you Received Your Tax Return? • You’ve received your tax return, and now it’s time to make sure that you have everything in order. If you’re not sure what to do next, here are the tax season tips! • First off, take a look at your state tax return. If you were able to get a refund from the state of California this year — and if not, why not? — check out how much money was taken out of your pocket without any warning or explanation. Also, note whether any errors on their end need fixing before they can send out checks for those who filed returns during 2018–2020 (if so). • Next up: federal taxes! Make sure all of this information is correct as well; otherwise they’ll have no choice but to send another round of adjustments down the pipeline (which means more late fees). Finally remember: although this might seem like an overwhelming process after receiving two refunds already today alone — don’t forget about yourself too!

  4. You Should File Your Taxes as soon as possible. • If you do not file your return by April 15, the IRS will impose a penalty of $205 per return due to missing or incomplete forms. This can add up quickly if you have multiple returns and owe money. • If you file late or don’t pay in full on time, interest may be charged at a rate of 25% per annum (or sometimes more) on any unpaid balance that remains after filing an extension with the IRS. Late filing penalties are also assessed if there is no reasonable cause for missing this deadline; however, they are usually less severe than paying interest on any outstanding balances owing from previous years’ taxes without filing before April 15th each year. • If you are unable to meet your tax obligations by the end of the year, contact an experienced tax attorney for help filing late. The penalties associated with missing this deadline can be high, but certain circumstances allow for tax extensions.

  5. Make sure you have enough money to cover your tax bill. • Of course, an arbitrary tip for tax season. But if you don’t have enough money, consider making payments over time or using a credit card instead of cash. • If you can’t pay the tax bill in full, consider making payments over time. If you’re eligible for an installment agreement and want to make payments on your own, use Form 9465 to apply for one. • If you want to use a credit card, consider doing so only if you’re able to pay off the balance immediately. If not, consider making payments on your own via Form 9465 instead. • If you’re unable to pay your tax bill in full and don’t have a credit card, consider making payments over time. You can apply for an installment agreement with the IRS using Form 9465. This will allow you to make monthly payments on your own instead of having one taken out of each paycheck. If you want to use a credit card, consider doing so only if you’re able to pay off the balance immediately.

  6. Invest in self-employed Health Insurance. • While it’s true that most people have health insurance through their employer, there are still a lot of self-employed people who pay for their health insurance. This can be costly and you may want to consider switching to another plan if you’re self-employed and eligible for coverage through the Affordable Care Act (ACA). • If this is something that interests you, don’t worry! The process is easy: just contact your local marketplace and apply online! You’ll need proof of income from either W-2s or 1099s to confirm eligibility; otherwise, they won’t accept your application until next year when tax season rolls around again — which means no refunds until then either! • If your income is too high to qualify for subsidies, you can still consider other options. If you’re self-employed, you may be eligible for the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP). This program allows employers with fewer than 50 full-time employees (and their families)

  7. Don’t forget to send any interest payments from your 401(k)s or IRAs back • It’s easy to forget that interest on your 401(k) or IRA is taxable. But it’s not just the money you paid out in interest that needs to be reported, but also the number of earnings that were reinvested into those accounts. If you have any questions about whether or not these payments should be reported as income, consult an accountant or financial advisor before submitting your return filing deadline date so they can help determine if this information needs to be included in your tax return. • The same goes for any other type of account from which a payment was made: if there’s any doubt about whether or not this type of transaction should be included in your return filing deadline date and/or how much income should be taxed on said transactions (which could include things like dividend income), then seek out professional advice ASAP! • If you have any questions, you can visit the IRS website to find more information about filing your taxes and reporting interest income. That may help you jot down a few more tips for tax season 2023.

  8. Use a tax-free bond as part of your emergency savings fund. • If you’re looking for a way to save for emergencies, consider using a tax-free bond as part of your emergency savings fund. Tax-free bonds are long-term investments that provide interest income at no cost to you. They can also be purchased through your brokerage account or directly through the bank where you have an account (if it offers them). • While they aren’t nearly as liquid as stocks and ETFs, bonds will provide some stability over time if things get rough in the financial markets and inflation rises unexpectedly. • In addition to using these bonds as part of your emergency fund, you can use them for other long-term savings goals. For example, if you’re saving for retirement or college tuition, tax-free bonds are a great way to grow your money without paying taxes on the interest. • Tax-free bonds have many advantages over other types of investments. For example, they’re typically safe investments that are less likely to lose money during a downturn in the market than stocks or ETFs. They also provide an additional benefit in that you can use the interest income to offset your taxable income when you file your taxes each year.

  9. Take advantage of any credits and deductions that can help reduce your tax burden. • If you’re eligible for a credit or deduction, it’s important to take advantage of them. For example, if you paid for health insurance and qualified for the Affordable Care Act Marketplace tax credit, this could reduce your tax bill. You can also claim an additional Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) if your income is low enough; some families may even qualify for both! • If there are any credits or deductions that apply to your situation but aren’t listed above, don’t worry about it — just find out here at Global FPO so we can help. And remember: It’s never too late to file! • If you didn’t have health insurance in 2018, it may be too late to claim a tax credit or deduction. However, if you qualify for an exemption from the Affordable Care Act’s mandate penalty, you can still claim it on your tax return.

  10. Hire a professional to help you with your return if necessary If it’s necessary to hire someone to file your taxes this year, there are some things to keep in mind before signing any contracts: • Don’t use free software like TurboTax (or other similar products). You’ll have higher quality returns and more accurate calculations if you use paid tax services that come with support from experts who can answer questions quickly. • Get quotes from multiple companies so that you can compare prices before making a decision on which company will do the job best. • Get a list of all the fees that will be charged so that you can compare prices before making a decision on which company will do the job best. Ask about any additional costs, such as an extra charge for filing state taxes or anything else that was not mentioned in the initial contract. • Conclusion I hope this PPT about tax season tips has given you some helpful tips to consider as you prepare your taxes.
