Tax Tips & Tricks for a Bigger Refund

Adjust Your W-4 Withholding Allowance

If you did not receive the tax result you expected in the tax year 2020, or if you have experienced life changes such as having a baby, receiving a raise or decrease in pay, unemployment, or a new job, now is a good time to adjust the amount of taxes withheld from your paycheck by adjusting your withholding on your W-4 and resubmitting the form with your employer.

Take Advantage Of Retirement Funds

Contributing to your retirement savings account is another wonderful strategy to lower your taxable income. You may minimize your taxable income and save for the future by contributing to a 401(k), a Traditional IRA, or even a Roth IRA. For 2021, you can contribute up to the lesser of 25% of your net self-employment income or $58,000 if you are self-employed and contribute to a SEP IRA.

‘Tis The Season To Donate

The Holiday season is approaching, which is an excellent opportunity to clear out your closet and donate household items to those in need. If you itemize your tax deductions, you can help someone in need while also benefiting from a tax deduction for non-cash and monetary gifts made to a qualifying charitable organization. Remember to deduct your mileage (14 cents per mile) traveled for charity work if you volunteer at a registered charitable organization.

No taxpayer in their right mind wants to be hit with that tax bill, especially if it tends to be a struggle to pay off. But there is a new and improved relief program that consolidates many major relief programs into a one-size-fits-all assistance program. Any issues regarding back taxes, unfiled years, or any other tax-related problems may be solved through one program; the IRS Fresh Start Program!
