As just another tax deadline looms, taxpayers who would like to maximize their return (or reduce their tax liability) should familiarize themselves with a few major changes that will take effect this year.
William D King explains the new IRS changes you must know about
The great news is that the tax system did not undergo significant changes in 2019. Furthermore, some of the amendments passed may wind up saving you money. While tax legislation has not changed nearly as dramatically as it did 2 years ago, there will still be crucial new tax factors to consider according to the lead director for taxation at the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants.
A variety of clauses in the recently signed pandemic relief laws could have an influence on your tax return in 2021. New restrictions or annual inflation adjustments have resulted in other changes for 2021. Changes can influence or improve your bottom line, regardless of how, when, or why they would be implemented, so you must be prepared. To assist you, we’ve compiled a list of the most significant changes and amendments to the tax code for 2021. (some related items are grouped together). Whenever its time to submit your 2021 tax return in April, use this knowledge now so that you can keep much more of your hard-earned money.
William D King says that numerous people, particularly business owners run via sole proprietorships, partnerships, S corporations, corporations, including legacies, could be eligible for the section 199A deduction. Certain trusts, including estates, may also be able to claim the deduction on their own. They can deduct up to 20% of their qualifying taxable income (QBI), as well as 20% of qualified REIT dividends and qualified publicly listed partnership (PTP) income. The deduction does not apply to income made by a C corporation or by service provision as an employee.
The child tax credit in 2021 will see significant modifications, but they will only be temporary, at least for the time being. The benefit was worth $2,000 per 16-year-old or smaller child for tax returns filed in 2020. It also began to go away as income surpassed $400,000 for a total sum of returns and $200,000 for singles along with the head-of-household returns. If they would have earned an income of at least $2,500, some low-income taxpayers could get a portion of the credit back (up to $1,400 per eligible child). (If the credit was valued more so than your income tax liability, the IRS awarded you a refund check again for the refundable portion.)
Americans who did not have health insurance risked a tax penalty of up to 2.5 percent of their taxable income underneath the Affordable Care Act. For 2019, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 lowered the penalty to zero. So, if people didn’t have health insurance last year, they wouldn’t have to pay the penalty.
Individual retirement accounts (IRAs) are frequently bequeathed to family members. People who inherit an IRA must withdraw a minimum number each year, based on their life expectancy, in order to prevent penalties. Inherited IRAs, however, must be emptied within 10 years, beginning in 2020.
