Tax preparers expect a big deadline rush on Tuesday

JaNae Francis Standard-Examiner

Last updated Friday, April 13, 2012 - 5:17pm

Procrastinators, the deadline to file your taxes is rapidly approaching. Midnight Tuesday is the magic time.

“We do have a large segment of the population who are unsure whether or not they owe, and that will procrastinate until the last minute,” said Micheal Hayes, an H&R Block office leader in the Sacramento, Calif., area.

And the last minute this year is April 17, instead of the traditional April 15, for two reasons: First, April 15 falls on a Sunday and, second, Emancipation Day, a legal holiday, will be celebrated Monday in Washington D.C.

Credit versus deduction — what’s the difference?

Tracy Bunner Standard-Examiner

Last updated Monday, April 2, 2012 - 8:19pm

Knowing the difference between a tax credit and a tax deduction is important when filing your taxes.

A tax credit reduces the amount of income tax you may have to pay. This means that your taxable income has already been figured and the amount of tax assigned to this income is your tax liability. The only way to reduce this tax amount is with a tax credit. The reduction is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the tax liability.

Can't pay taxes by April 17 deadline? Relief may be available

Tracy Bunner Standard-Examiner

Last updated Monday, March 26, 2012 - 8:23pm

The IRS isn’t always heartless when it comes to collecting taxes. In an earlier column, I talked about the failure-to-pay penalty that is assessed if taxes are not paid by this year’s April 17 deadline.

However, on March 16, the Internal Revenue Service released the Fresh Start Penalty Relief Initiative.

Send your child to summer day camp; it’s tax deductible!

Tracy Bunner Standard-Examiner

Last updated Monday, March 19, 2012 - 6:26pm

Child and dependent care expenses are deductible if the qualifying person is under the age of 13 or is disabled and can be claimed as a dependent of the taxpayer.

The expenses must be to allow the taxpayer to work or look for work. Therefore, the taxpayer must have earned income.

Here's why you should file your taxes on time

Tracy Bunner Standard-Examiner

Last updated Monday, March 12, 2012 - 7:50pm

Two things in life are inevitable: death and taxes. We can’t say for certain when death will come. Tax day, however, is usually April 15, unless it falls on a weekend or holiday. This year, the deadline is April 17.

Have you ever wondered what happens if you file your tax return late? Or, even worse, if you don’t file your tax return at all?

IRS warns of scam involving fraudulent refunds on returns

Michael McFall Standard-Examiner

Last updated Monday, March 5, 2012 - 11:38pm

OGDEN — The Internal Revenue Service is warning taxpayers about a new scam that tries to trick people into claiming fraudulent refunds on their tax returns.

The scam artists promise refunds to people who normally aren’t required to file for taxes because they have little or no income, which means senior citizens tend to be the targets, according to a news release from the IRS.
