As we step into the new year, let’s tackle something that’s on all our minds - tax season 2024. It can seem daunting, but don't worry, I've got your back with answers to common questions and some crucial updates. So, let's dive in and conquer tax season together!
Tax season can be terrifying, right? But knowledge is power, and I’m here to empower you with everything you need to know before filing your taxes in 2024. From important dates to understanding deductions, let's break it down.
First off, the big question: When’s the tax deadline? Mark your calendars - April 15, 2024. And it falls on a Monday, so no extra weekend to procrastinate this time!
Wondering when you can start filing? The IRS typically kicks off tax season in late January. Though the exact date for accepting 2023 returns hasn't been set yet, it’s wise to be prepared.
Now, let’s talk numbers - the 2023 tax brackets have seen a 7% jump. Whether you’re filing as an individual or with your spouse, knowing your bracket is crucial for planning your finances. And guess what? The standard deduction has also increased, giving you a bit more breathing room.
For my fellow seniors, there's more good news. The standard deduction for you has also seen a bump up. And when it comes to itemized deductions, while most remain unchanged, there are some specifics worth noting, like state and local taxes, mortgage interest, and medical expenses.
Maximizing your retirement savings? The IRA and 401(k) contribution limits have increased, so make sure you’re contributing enough to secure your golden years.
Health is wealth, and for those of you with HSAs, the contribution limits have risen too. It's a great way to save for medical expenses and reduce your taxable income.
If you're claiming the child tax credit, be aware of the income limits. It's a valuable credit, and understanding how it applies to you can make a big difference.
Filing status can significantly impact your taxes. Whether you file as single or head of household, each has its benefits. Make sure you choose the one that best fits your situation.
For those eager to get your refund, filing early is key. Online tools like TurboTax and H&R Block offer tax refund estimators to give you an idea of what to expect. And remember, most refunds are issued within 21 calendar days.
