Top Five Reasons To Adjust Your Withholding

March 12, 2020July 8, 2013 by Steve Patterson

Your withholding is the amount of money you have taken out of each paycheck to apply toward income taxes. When your taxes are filed at the end of the year, any amount that the Internal Revenue Service withheld is credited toward your tax bill. I, like many others, am unable to afford my own certified public accountant, and just hope that the amount withdrawn from my income will match up to the total taxes I owe. Usually that isn’t the case, but luckily, up until this point, I’ve only overpaid and earned a refund back from the IRS. Those who underpay end up getting a stiff bill, and may end up having to pay penalties as well.

According to the IRS, the average individual tax refund in 2012 was $2700. That calculates out to an average individual overpayment to the IRS of $225 per month. I have learned through a … Read the rest

Tax Return Processing Begins Late

March 12, 2020January 13, 2013 by Steve Patterson

2013 Tax Return Processing

IRS, formally known as the Internal Revenue Service, announced the 2013 filing season will open on January 30. Individual income tax returns will not be reviewed until this date.

The IRS previously planned on allowing individuals to take part in electronic filing eight days earlier, on January 22. The US congress approved new tax laws which in turn has delayed the start date for filing. The new tax laws are due to the fact the US has been faced with great financial difficulties. ATRA, an abbreviation for the American Taxpayer Relief Act, is the bill that was formed and agreed upon between the president and House of Representatives republicans.

The IRS is busy updating tax forms and “completing programming and testing of its processing systems.” The update and intended improvements should allow the majority of US tax payers to file their tax returns starting January 30. … Read the rest
