Available Education Credits
There are 2 credits allowed for higher education: the Hope Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit.
You can claim the credits for eligible expenses paid on behalf of yourself, your spouse or a dependent
for whom you can claim an exemption.

Hope Credit — The credit is allowed for the first 2 years of college. It may not be claimed for
more than 2 years, and the student must be enrolled in at least half of a full-time load in a degree
program. Plus, the student can't be convicted of felony possession of a controlled substance.
Lifetime Learning Credit — This credit can be claimed for any number of years. The number of hours
the student is enrolled and drug felony convictions aren't factors for the Lifetime Learning Credit.

You can claim both credits for one year, but you can claim only 1 of the credits for any student. For
example, you can claim a Hope Credit for 1 of your children and the Lifetime Learning Credit for
another, but you can't claim both credits on behalf of either of the children.

To claim the credit, modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) must be less than $58,000 for Single,
Head of Household and Qualifying Widow(er) ($116,000 for Married Filing Jointly), and the student
must be attending an eligible institution. Those who are Married Filing Separately can't claim the
credits.

If the parents are eligible to claim the student as a dependent, they claim the credit unless they
choose not to claim the exemption for the student. The student can't claim his or her exemption even
though he or she can claim the credit.

Note: For students who attended an eligible educational institution in a Midwestern disaster area,
the Hope Credit can be as much as $3,600. The Lifetime Learning Credit for such students is 40% of
eligible expenses with a maximum credit of $4,000. These provisions apply for 2008 and 2009.


Tuition and Fees Deduction
If your MAGI is $65,000 ($130,000 if Married Filing Jointly) or less, you can deduct up to $4,000 of
eligible tuition and fees for yourself, your spouse or a person for whom you claim a dependent
exemption. If your MAGI is between $65,000 and $130,000 ($130,000 and $160,000 if Married Filing
Jointly), you can deduct up to $2,000 of eligible tuition and fees. If your MAGI is more than $80,000
($160,000 or more if Married Filing Jointly) you can't claim the tuition and fees deduction.

You can't claim the deduction if you're Married Filing Separately, if another person can claim you as a
dependent, or if you were a nonresident alien for any part of the year (unless you elect to be treated
as a resident alien).

You can claim the tuition and fees deduction or an education credit for a student, but not both. Choose
the benefit that results in the larger tax savings. You can't use expenses used to figure this deduction
when figuring the exclusion for savings bonds interest or the exclusion for income from a distribution
from a Coverdell ESA or QTP. You also must reduce the expenses used to figure this deduction by the
amount of tax-free scholarships and nontaxable employer-provided educational assistance you
received.


Student Loan Interest Deduction
You may be able to deduct up to $2,500 of interest payments on a qualified student loan if your
modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is less than $70,000 ($145,000 if Married Filing Jointly). You
can't deduct student loan interest if someone else claims you as a dependent or if you're Married
Filing Separately. For the Student Loan Interest Deduction, a dependent includes the following:

An individual who was not eligible to be claimed as a dependent because the individual filed a joint
return.
An individual who was not eligible to be claimed as a dependent because the individual had gross
income of $3,500 or more.
An individual for whom you can't claim an exemption only because you're the dependent of another
taxpayer.

The loan can't be from a related person or made under a qualified employer plan. You can deduct the
interest only if you are legally required to make payments on the loan.

The student must be enrolled at least half-time in a program leading to a degree or other recognized
educational credential.

You can't claim the deduction for student loan interest if a deduction for the interest would be allowed
under another rule (for example, under the rules for home mortgage interest).

The Student Loan Interest Deduction is taken as an adjustment to income, so you can claim this
deduction even if you don't itemize deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040).


Work-related Education and Employer-provided Educational Assistance
You may be able to deduct the cost of qualifying work-related education as a business expense if you
weren't reimbursed by your employer or if the cost exceeded your reimbursement. You can claim the
deduction only if you itemize deductions. The deduction is one of the deductions subject to the 2% of
adjusted gross income floor. The education must also meet one of these criteria:
The education is required by law or by your employer to keep your present salary, status or job.
The education maintains or improves skills needed in your present work.

If the education is needed solely to meet the minimum educational requirements of your present job,
or will qualify you for a new trade or career, you can't deduct the educational expenses. Tuition and
fees you can't deduct because they don't meet the requirements may be deductible as part of the
tuition and fees deduction discussed below. It's generally better to claim the tuition and fees
deduction.

If you receive educational assistance benefits from your employer under an educational assistance
program, you can exclude up to $5,250 of those benefits each year. Payments in excess of $5,250
are taxable unless the payment qualifies as a working condition fringe benefit. The payment will
qualify under this provision if you could deduct the education expense if you paid for it. Benefits
include payments for tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment. The payments may be for either
undergraduate- or graduate-level courses. To qualify, the plan must be written. Your employer will
include the taxable amount (if any) in your W-2 wages.

TAX AMENDMENT

To file an amended return, you must fill out
Form 1040-X.

On the back of the form, you need to
explain the specific changes being made on
the return and the reason for each change.

Filing an Amended Return
To file an amended return, fill out Form 1040-X - Amended U.S. Individual
Income Tax Return and include copies of any schedules that have been
changed or any W-2s you did not include with your original return. To be
entitled to a refund, the form generally must be filed within 3 years after the
date you filed the original return or within 2 years after the date you paid
the tax, whichever is later.


Completing Form 1040-X
Form 1040-X is designed with 3 columns. Column A is used to show the
figures from the original return. Column C is used to show the correct
figures. The difference between the figures in Columns A and C is shown in
Column B. On the back of the form, you need to explain the specific
changes being made on the return and the reason for each change. If the
changes involve another schedule or form, attach it to Form 1040-X. Be
sure to enter the year of the return you're amending.

There are exceptions to the 3-year rule for certain items such as net
operating losses, general business credit carrybacks, bad debts and
worthless securities. Review the instructions to Form 1040-X for other
exceptions.

If you are filing more than 1 amended return, be sure to mail each return in
a separate envelope to the service center for the area in which you live.

A change in your federal return may affect your state tax liability and
require an amended state return. For information on state changes,
contact your state's Department of Revenue.
You filed on time but didn't pay all of your
balance due.
You'll generally have to pay a late-payment penalty of 0.5% of the tax owed
for each month, or part of a month that the tax remains unpaid after the
due date, up to 25% of the tax due. The 0.5% rate increases to 1% if the tax
remains unpaid after several notices have been sent to you, and the IRS
issues a notice of intent to levy. The penalty will not be imposed if you can
show reasonable cause for the failure to pay.

You haven't filed or paid your balance due.
If you did not file on time, and you owe tax, you may owe a late-filing penalty
in addition to the late-payment penalty unless you can show reasonable
cause. The combined penalty is 5% (4.5% late filing, 0.5% late payment) for
each month, or part of a month, that your return is late. The late-filing
penalty is generally imposed for a maximum of 5 months. However, after 5
months, if you still have not paid, the 0.5% late-payment penalty continues
to run, up to 25%, until the tax is paid. So, the combined maximum penalty
may be as high as 47.5% [(4.5% x 5 months) + 25%].

Note: If your return is more than 60 days
late, the minimum late-filing penalty is the
smaller of $135 or 100% of the tax required
to be shown on the return.

You're paying taxes through an installment agreement.
If you or your tax professional filed Form 9465 requesting an installment
payment plan, and the IRS accepted your installment payment plan, they
will charge you an administrative fee plus interest on the unpaid tax. If you
filed a timely return and are paying your tax due according to an installment
agreement, the late-payment penalty is 0.25% (instead of 0.5%) for each
month, or part of a month, that the tax remains unpaid.

Regardless of which category you fall into, you'll owe interest on any
balance due from the due date of the return until the date of payment. The
interest rate is adjusted every 3 months.
FILING YOUR TAXES LATE:

If you file on time, but don't pay the entire
balance you'll be charged a late payment
penalty of 0.5%, up to 25%, of the unpaid tax.

You may be penalized up to 47.5% of your
unpaid tax if you don't file your return on time.

If you request an installment payment plan for
your taxes, and the IRS accepts it, you'll be
charged a fee plus interest on all unpaid
taxes.

''How to Maximize Your Tax
Deductions Ten Top Tax Tips!''

Do you dread tax time? You don’t have to. Most
real estate investors actually look forward to
April 15th. Why? Because despite the current
condition of our housing and mortgage
industries, real estate provides more tax
benefits than almost any other investment. And
maximizing your tax deductions only makes
good business sense. That being said, let’s
take a look at 10 of the best tax deductions
available to you as an owner of investment
property:


1.    
  Mortgage Interest
Interest might be your single biggest deductible
expense. Common examples of interest that
landlords can deduct include mortgage interest
payments on loans used to acquire or improve
rental property and interest on credit cards for
goods or services used in a rental activity. (Any
points or closing costs paid on a mortgage loan
secured by an income-producing property are
also deductible.)


2.     
 Depreciation
Depreciation is the loss in value of an asset or
building over time due to wear and tear,
physical deterioration and age. The IRS allows
you to depreciate income-producing properties
over their useful life (27.5 years for residential
and 39 years for commercial). You’ll be thankful
every year at tax time if you use depreciation
correctly.


3.   
   Insurance
You can deduct the premiums you pay for
almost any insurance for your rental activity.
This includes fire, theft, and flood insurance for
rental property, as well as landlord liability
insurance. And if you happen to have
employees, you can deduct the cost of their
health and workers’ compensation insurance.


4.  
    Homeowner’s
Association (HOA) Dues
Yep, that’s right. If you own a real estate
investment property within a subdivision that
charges those annoying quarterly HOA fees,
you can write those off your taxes.


5.     
 Repairs
The cost of repairs to rental property is fully
deductible in the year they are incurred. Good
examples of deductible repairs include
repainting, new flooring, fixing leaks, plastering,
and replacing broken windows.


6.    
  Personal Property
This includes such items as furniture,
appliances, lawn mowers, snow removal
equipment, etc. which are not permanently
attached to the land.


7.
     Home Office
Provided they meet certain minimal
requirements, you may deduct your home office
expenses. This deduction applies not only to
space devoted to office work, but also to a
workshop or any other home workspace you
use for your rental business.


8.   
   Travel
Landlords are entitled to a tax deduction
whenever they drive anywhere for their rental
activity. For example, when you drive to your
rental building to deal with a tenant complaint
or go to the hardware store to purchase a part
for a repair, you can deduct your travel
expenses.

And believe it or not, you can even deduct your
long distance travel! If you travel overnight for
your rental activity, you can deduct your airfare,
hotel bills, meals, and other expenses. If you
plan your trip carefully, you can even mix
business with pleasure and still take a
deduction!


9.    
  Employees and
Independent Contractors
Whenever you hire anyone to perform services
on your investment property, you can deduct
their wages as a rental business expense. This
is true whether the worker is an employee (for
example, a resident manager of an apartment
complex) or an independent contractor (for
example, a repair person or maintenance guy).


10.
Legal and Professional
Services
Finally, you can deduct fees that you pay to
attorneys, accountants, property management
companies, real estate investment advisors,
and other professionals. You can deduct these
fees as operating expenses as long as the fees
are paid for work related to your rental activity.

IRS Announces 2017 Tax Rates, Standard Deductions,
Exemption Amounts And More..

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced the
annual inflation adjustments for a number of provisions for
the year 2017, including tax rate schedules, tax tables, and
cost-of-living adjustments for certain tax items.

These are the applicable numbers for the tax year 2017 - in
other words, effective January 1, 2017.  They are NOT the
numbers and tax rates that you’ll use to prepare your 2016
tax returns in 2017 (you'll find them here). Rather, these
numbers and tax rates are those you’ll use to prepare your
2017 tax returns in 2018.

If you aren't expecting any significant changes, you can use
the updated tax tables to estimate your liability for the 2017
tax year. If, however, you are expecting to make more money,
get married, buy a house, have a baby or other life change,
you'll want to consider adjusting your withholding or
tweaking your estimated tax payments.
The Internal Revenue
Service's battle against fraud
and identity theft is
intensifying as the tax filing
season opens, and some of
the neediest taxpayers are
getting caught in the middle.

The agency is barred from issuing refunds before Feb. 15 on
any returns claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit or the
Additional Child Tax Credit. Congress mandated the delay to
give the IRS more time to review returns to try to catch
fraudulent ones before refunds are paid out.

In reality, taxpayers taking these credits will probably have to
wait even longer to get their refunds — until the week of Feb.
27, the IRS says, because of weekends and the President's
Day holiday.

Dave DuVal, vice president of customer advocacy at TaxAudit.
com, says the impact on these taxpayers could be
tremendous. "They live paycheck to paycheck, and this is
money they're counting on," he said.

Still, the attempt to reduce fraud "is a positive thing overall,"
said Greg Rosica, tax partner at Ernst & Young.

The IRS will begin accepting returns on Jan. 23, and tax
experts recommend that Americans continue to file their
returns early, even with the refund delays.

"For this tax season, it's more important than ever for
taxpayers to plan ahead," IRS Commissioner John Koskinen
said in a statement.

This year's filing deadline is Tuesday, April 18, since the
traditional April 15 date falls on a Saturday, and D.C.
Emancipation Day is observed on April 17.

Of course, taxpayers who need longer can request an
extension. "Getting a filing extension avoids the late filing
penalty, but it doesn't avoid the late payment penalty," said
Barbara Weltman, a consultant and author of books on taxes,
law and finance.

So the advice from tax experts: To avoid the late payment
penalty, estimate the amount due and pay it before the April
18 filing deadline. But even with that, you won't be able to
avoid interest on payments made after the deadline.

Last year, the IRS processed more than 152 million returns.
Electronic filing was up 2.4 percent, continuing a long-term
trend. The average refund was $2,860, up 2.3 percent or $63
from the previous year, the agency said.

The IRS continues to see an increase in taxpayers requesting
direct deposit for their refunds. That's the fastest way to get
a refund, the agency advises.
WHAT'S NEW THIS
YEAR

"Because so many provisions have been made permanent
and we have such modest inflation, there are not dramatic
new things," Weltman said.

The personal exemption has been increased to $4,050. But
that amount is phased out for taxpayers at higher income
levels. Similarly, those with higher adjusted gross income
might not be able to get the full value of their deductions.

The alternative minimum tax is still around, but the exemption
has increased to $53,900 for single taxpayers, $83,000 for
those married filing jointly and $41,900 for married filing
separately.

People who have been issued an individual taxpayer
identification number, or ITIN, instead of a Social Security
number may have to renew it before filing their tax returns.
The IRS says current ITINs will no longer be valid if they
weren't used at least once in the last three years or if the
number was issued before 2013.
PROTECTING AGAINST
IDENTITY THEFT AND
FRAUD

Make sure you have last
year's tax return handy
when you prepare to file
your taxes this year.

"Taxpayers who are changing tax software products this filing
season will need their adjusted gross income from their 2015
tax return in order to file electronically," the IRS said. "The
electronic filing PIN is no longer an option."

That, too, is part of the agency's attempt to battle tax fraud and
identity theft.

"The IRS has gotten much, much better in identifying ID theft
before the money goes out the door," Olson said.

Another step is pushing up the deadline for employers to
submit wage data to the IRS, enabling the agency to build a
database sooner to crosscheck returns with those W-2 forms.

Previously, wage forms had to be sent to taxpayers by Jan. 31
and to the Social Security Administration a month or two later,
depending on whether they were being filed by paper or
electronically. "That meant the filing season was over by the
time the IRS got the most fundamental data," Olson said.

Now, the deadline is the same, Jan. 31, for the employer to get
the form to both the employee and the government.

The IRS says that working with states and the tax industry, ID
thefts were cut in half last year.

4 Ways to Get Your Tax
Refund Faster By The
Team OF:  Knowledge
Financial Group And
Certainly By  Femkonsa
Capital Investment.
..

Your tax refund can help. Last
year, almost three out of four
filers got a tax refund, with an
average refund of about $2,800,
according to experts in the field ..
Due to a new law aimed at uncovering
fraud, the IRS must delay refunds
claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit
and the Additional Child Tax Credit until
February 15.
But everyone else can get their refunds
faster by following these four simple tips.
1. File early. The early bird gets
the tax refund. Get your tax return in
early, when the IRS is processing fewer
returns, and you will probably get your
refund faster. The agency began
accepting electronic returns this week.
--------------

2. Look for errors. Double-
check everything, including the easy
stuff such as your name, Social Security
number and bank routing number.
Mistakes on tax returns can lengthen the
processing time and delay your refund
by weeks or months.
-----------------

3. File electronically.
Processing of paper returns can take
weeks longer than e-filed returns,
holding up your refund. IRS e-file or
other tax preparation software also
catches any mathematical errors that
could also end up delaying your refund.

Last year, almost nine out of 10 taxpayers
filed their taxes electronically. Those
with adjusted incomes of less than
$64,000 can file free.
---------------

4. Choose direct deposit.
The fastest way to get your refund is to
have it deposited directly into a financial
account, according to the IRS. The
agency even allows the refunds to be
deposited in multiple accounts.

All that’s needed is the account number
and routing number, usually found at the
bottom of a check from the account.

Finally, once you’ve filed, you can track
your refund using the
Where’s My
Refund? tool from the IRS. = Where's My
Refund? - It's Quick, Easy and Secure.   =

Four {4} Ways to Get a
Faster Tax Refund This
Year..

Make Sure All
Information is Correct
..

Yes, this is another seemingly basic
step, but it too can be cause for
countless delayed refunds.

Take the time to review such things as
your name, Social Security number, and
bank routing number carefully.

If you got married or divorced in the last
year, double check that your name is
updated, particularly if you’re e-filing.
----------------
File Electronically

There are numerous ways available to
file electronically these days. Those
whose adjusted gross income is $62,000
or less annually may want to use the Free
File software options provided by the IRS.
There are many well known companies
and software options available through

​The fastest way to get
your tax refund -

Opt for Direct Deposit of
Your Refund.
.

This option may not be for everyone,
particularly those who don’t have a bank
account, but it’s one of the best ways to
speed things up and get a fast tax
refund.

“There’s a lot of reasons why this is
beneficial,” says Dayana from Femkonsa
Capital Investment.

“It gets the money into your account
faster and you don’t have to worry about
the post office losing the check.

File Early

This may seem like a no-brainer, but the
professionals says, '

many people still don’t realize the impact
early filing can have.

“The reason behind this is that there are
less returns being processed, so the
earlier you get the return in, the quicker
you get it back,”
''Ways To Increase Your Tax Refund
You Never Thought About
''

When  you start a job, your employer asks you to complete
form W-4. This tells your employer how much federal
income tax to withhold from your paycheck.
The more allowances you claim on the form, the less
income tax will be held back. This will give you bigger
paychecks, but a smaller tax refund (or potentially no tax
refund or a tax bill at the end of the year). Factors to
consider when choosing the number of allowances you
claim include:

Claiming allowances for yourself, your spouse and your
qualifying children and dependents
Taking an allowance for filing head of household
Claiming more than $1,500 for child and dependent care
expenses
Working more than one job
Having a spouse who works

Claiming fewer allowances on your W-4 will mean smaller
paychecks, since more tax will be withheld. This increases
your chances of over-withholding, which leads to a bigger
tax refund. That’s why it’s called a “refund:” you are just
getting money back that you overpaid to the IRS during the
year.
Revisit your filing status

Choosing the filing status that best suits your needs can
influence the possibility of a refund. Your filing status
determines:

Your standard deduction
Your filing requirements
The credits you are eligible to receive
The amount of tax you pay or the refund you receive

There are five statuses to choose from, but the three most
common are: married filing jointly, married filing separately,
single, and head of household.

Many tax softwares  can help you determine which choice
most benefits your situation.
Claim the earned income tax credit

Working families, individuals, people who are self-employed
and others who have a moderate to low income may qualify
for the earned income tax credit.

The EITC decreases the amount of taxes owed and may
qualify you for a tax refund. To qualify, you must:

Have a valid Social Security number
Be a U.S. citizen, a year-long resident alien or a non-resident
alien married to an American citizen or resident alien filing
jointly
Have income from self-employment, from an employer or
from working on a farm
Not be a claimed dependent or child of another person
Have a qualifying child and be between the ages of 25 and
65, living in the U.S. for at least half the year

To receive the EITC you must file a tax return, even if you
owe no taxes.
Include the dependent care credit

The child and dependent care credit is based on a
percentage of the amount you paid for the care of a
qualifying child or dependent.

The total expenses you can claim are capped at $3,000 for
one eligible individual and $6,000 for two or more. If your
employer offers dependent care benefits, you are required
to deduct this amount. A qualifying individual is:

Your child who is under 13 years of age
A dependent who is physically or mentally incapable of self-
care and who lives with you for more than half the year, or
Your spouse who is incapable of self-care and lives with you
for more than half the year

To claim the credit, other criteria must be met.

If you’re married, you are required to file a joint return.
You can’t use a caregiver who is a spouse or parent of the
child, your child under 19 years of age or another of your
dependents.

Each qualifying dependent and child must have a Social
Security number added to your return.

You must provide the name, address and Social Security
number of your caregiver.
