Weekly Tax Tips 2017
The tax road goes on forever and the tax party never ends

 

Welcome to 2017's post-tax party, where we're celebrating the end on April 18 of the main filing season. 

Tax_tip_icon_pencil_point2Wait. You say you're not done yet? That you got an extension to file your return?

Yeah, me too.

But all's good because when we sent in our Form 4868, we paid any tax we guesstimated we owe. Right? Right.

And now we have until Oct. 16 to meet our new filing deadline. Yes, you read that right. It's Oct. 16 instead of Oct 15 since the regular six-more-months due date is on a Sunday this year.

So take a breath. But not too deeply or for too long.

While we've got more time to finish our 2016 taxes, that new deadline will arrive before we realize. Trust me. I'm a filing extension veteran and I know of what I speak. And my best advice is not to procrastinate until the absolutely, positively last tax-filing moment.

And if you have already filed, good for you. Remember, though, that your 2017 tax tab has been running since Jan. 1.

Once-a-week tax advice: Sorry to be a tax party pooper, but that's something we need to thing about, too, even if we're still working on last year's return. And here at the ol' blog, I've got your back regardless of exactly where in the filing process you are with Weekly Tax Tips.

As in previous years, a new piece of tax advice will be featured each Wednesday in the upper right corner of the ol' blog. 

Many of the items will be for the majority of taxpayers who are done with last year's taxes and are looking for ways to trim this year's tax bill. A few, though, will be aimed at helping those of us who've yet to file do so, especially as October nears.

Either way, the once-a-week tax tips will continue through Dec. 27, the last Wednesday of the year.

A stray weekly tip or two also might show up in the opening week/weeks of January 2018 before I transition to the New Year's tax filing season and the return of the 2018 Daily Tax Tips.

But wait. I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. Let's get back to this year and the 2017 Weekly Tax Tips.

  1. Tax issues for tippers and recipients — Whether you leave a tip for good service are the one who earns the gratuity, you could encounter some tax issues. (April 26, 2017)
  2. Tax record keeping tips — You're done with your taxes. Now it's time to store those key filing records. Why? Well, there are many reasons, but the key one is in case you're audited. So start sorting and saving! (May 3, 2017)
  3. Refund wrong. What now? — Your refund from Uncle Sam finally arrived, but it's not what you expected. Now what? Here's how to handle a tax check form the Internal Revenue Service that's too big (yay!) or too small (boo!). (May 10, 2017)
  4. Day camp counts toward child care tax credit — Whew! You got your kids into their favorite day camps. Now hold onto those receipts. Day camp costs count toward claiming the child and dependent care tax credit. (May 17, 2017)
  5. 7 property appraisal appeal tips — Homeowners want their homes to appreciate in value when they get ready to sell, but not so much when the tax appraiser comes around. That official value of your home could be too high, meaning your property tax bill also will be inflated. These steps, however, could help you appeal your appraisal and lower your real estate taxes. (May 24, 2017)
  6. 529 plans perks and pitfalls — Looking for a good gift for a high school graduate? Contribute to the soon to be college student's 529 plan. This tax-advantaged college savings account can help them cover many higher education costs. But beware of potential pitfalls, especially when withdrawing the money or applying for financial aid. (May 31, 2017)
  7. Education tax breaks overview — The high school diplomas have been handed out and mortar boards tossed in celebration. Now it's time to think about college and how to pay for it. Your Uncle Sam can help, thanks to a variety of tax-favored educational tax breaks. (June 7, 2017)
  8. The scoop on paying estimated taxes — The U.S. tax system is based on Uncle Sam getting his cut as you earn your money. Millions make sure that happens by paying estimated taxes four times a year. Here's the scoop on the estimated tax system, with an eye on the looming June 15 deadline. (June 14, 2017)
  9. 10 tax tips for newlyweds — After saying "I do," newly married couples face a list of tax to-do's, too. Here are 10 tax things couples who are planning their weddings or who have already exchanged vows should think about. (June 21, 2017)
  10. Deducting moving expenses — Americans have always been mobile. Our restlessness is even encouraged somewhat by the Internal Revenue Code, which offers a tax deduction for moving expenses. (June 28, 2017)
  11. Teens, summer jobs and taxes — Summer employment is a time-honored coming-of-age tradition for teenagers. It also could create tax consequences — and opportunities — for young workers. (July 5, 2017)
  12. Higher fees to set up tax installment plans — Taking a tip from tax-owing boxing champ Floyd Mayweather and looking to pay off your Internal Revenue Service bill over time? Take note of the new, and sometimes dramatically higher, IRS installment payment plan fee hikes that took effect this year. (July 12, 2017)
  13. Tax breaks can help cover adoption costs — If your family is growing via adoption, be sure you take advantage of the tax breaks — tax-free financial help from your employer and/or the adoption tax credit — that can help you cover the often high costs of this legal process. (July 19, 2017)
  14. Back-to-school tax holiday season in full swing — Tax holidays aren't good tax policy, but they're popular with shoppers. The 2017 back-to-school versions of these shopping events are underway. Find out if your state is one of the 16 this year with such events and if so, when you can shop and save. (July 26, 2017)
  15. Income, timing affect capital gains tax bill — Investors must weigh many factors, not just a surging stock market, when selling assets. A key consideration is tax ramifications. What you owe Uncle Sam in capital gains tax depends not only what to sell, but when you sell and your overall adjusted gross income. (Aug. 2, 2017)
  16. Hobby or business: Either way, income is taxable— Good news, you’re making a few bucks off your hobby. Bad news, that money is taxable income. And if you’re earning a lot on your avocation, maybe it’s time to consider turning it into a real business. You’ll still owe taxes, but you then can take advantage of expense deductions that could reduce the tax bite. (Aug. 9, 2017)
  17. The importance of taking a pre-disaster inventory — We’re about to head into the heart of the Atlantic hurricane season. That means it’s time to get ready, including taking a thorough inventory of your personal and business belonging. This information is critical if you must file insurance and subsequent tax loss claims related to a tropical storm or any other disaster. (Aug. 16, 2017)
  18. Why and how to adjust your withholding — Did you get a big refund this year? Or owed Uncle Sam more than you expected when you filed your Form 1040? Then it's time to adjust your payroll withholding. (Aug. 23, 2017)
  19. Getting tax help for disaster losses — Hurricane Harvey is still wreaking havoc, but some folks in hard-hit Texas are starting to dig out. The tax code can help by letting you claim some of your natural disaster losses. (Aug. 30, 2017)
  20. Recreating tax records — Records, tax and financial, are often among the property damaged or destroyed in a natural disaster. If you lost, or never kept, these documents, you'll need to recreate them to take advantage of tax-related storm relief. (Sept. 6, 2017)
  21. Digitize your tax records — Are your tax records out of control? Digitize them. Electronic records free up physical storage space and generally are easier to organize and retrieve. That could be important if you ever have to produce them to prove to the Internal Revenue Service that your filing was correct. (Sept. 13, 2017)
  22. Beware of charity scams in the wake of disasters — The train of tragedies just keeps rolling. In the United States alone this September, we've had back-to-back major hurricanes hit the mainland, not to mention another Cat 4 raking U.S. island territories and two deadly earthquakes in neighboring Mexico. The calls for help are coming nonstop and the good-hearted are still giving to relief efforts. Be careful, though, that you don't fall for fake charities. (Sept. 20, 2017)
  23. Tax deduction rules for international donations — Disasters are global. If you want to give to a charity based in another country to help victims there, good for you. But don't count on taking a tax deduction for your international gift. (Sept. 27, 2017)
  24. 5 tips for choosing workplace benefits — October is the start of open enrollment season at most U.S. companies. Here are some things to consider as you pick your employer-provided benefits, many of them with specific tax savings, for the coming year. (Oct. 4, 2017)

Your 1040 must be e-filed or postmarked by Oct. 16; that's a day later this year since Oct. 15 is on Sunday. These 10 last-minute filing tips could help you get the job done and save some tax dollars. (Oct. 11, 2017)
  26. 5 amended tax return filing tips — If you discover you made a mistake on a tax return, it's a good idea to file an amended one, even if it means your tax bill is a bit bigger. These tips can help you get your 1040X just right. (Oct. 18, 2017)
  27. 2018 income tax brackets — The 2017 tax year still has two months left, but every fall the Internal Revenue Service announces tax provisions for the next year that are affected by inflation. You can find those changes as blog posts in a 10-part tax inflation series. The first post, which contains links (or will as soon as they're posted) to the other nine, has details on 2018's tax rates and brackets. (Oct. 25, 2017)
  28. Avoiding estimated tax penalties — Paying estimated taxes is hassle enough, but if you mess up your quarterly amounts, you could face a penalty. Here are some ways to avoid owing the Internal Revenue Service more than what's due on your 1040-ES vouchers. (Nov. 1, 2017)
  29. Ways to cut your tax bill — Now that it looks like the GOP tax reform plan will take effect in 2018, it's time to look at ways to reduce your 2017 taxes. In addition to the end-of-year tax tips featured in my post for MoneyGeek, also check out some additional November tax moves to make. (Nov. 8, 2017)
  30. Tracking tax reform 2017 — With House passage on Nov. 16 of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Congress seems to be closer than it's been in 31 years to making major changes to the Internal Revenue Code. But nothing's final until a bill is signed into law. Track the different tax bills and their legislative progress with this collection of tax reform blog posts. (Nov. 16, 2017)
  31. Do mom and dad need help? — A lot of adult children are seeing their parents for the first time in months (years?) over the Thanksgiving holiday. It's a good time to gauge whether they need some help dealing with financial and other responsibilities. Here are some areas to consider in assessing aging parents' needs. (Nov. 23, 2017)
  32. 4 tax tips for gig workers — Have you joined the gig economy, at least during the holidays to get a little extra cash for gifts? Then you have some new tax considerations as a self-employed contractor in the sharing economy. These tips will help you legally hold on to more of your side hustle cash and keep the IRS happy, too. (Nov. 29, 2017)
  33. 10 tax moves to make by Dec. 31 — December's arrival means that it's time to make some year-end tax moves. This year, several traditional tax-saving steps take on new urgency since they could soon be gone under tax reform legislation nearing enactment. (Dec. 6, 2017)
  34. 5 ways to spend FSA money — If you have a medical flexible spending account (FSA) with a Dec. 31 use-or-lose deadline, get to your pharmacy now! Here are 5 ways to spend your FSA money so that you don't waste it. (Dec. 13, 2017)
  35. Buy a car by Dec. 31 — If you claim state and local sales taxes as an itemized deduction, buying a car or other vehicle could boost that Schedule A tax write-off. But act soon. Thanks to just-passed tax legislation, many filers will find that 2017 is the last tax year for a while that this deduction will be worthwhile. (Dec. 20, 2017)
  36. An overview of the coming 2018 tax law — The bill formerly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is now law and will mostly affect 2018 taxes. But there are some provisions that could make a difference on 2017 returns. This index of recent tax reform posts gives you an idea of what's in the law and what the changes could mean for you now and next year. (Dec. 27, 2017)
  37. No need to re-do your W-4 — It's a new year with new tax laws. You might eventually need to adjust your withholding allowances to account for 2018's new tax rates and income brackets. For now, though, the IRS says workers' current W-4 data will work for calculating payroll withholding amounts under the new law. (Jan. 3, 2018)

That's it for the 2016 tax year and 2017 filing season, with a preview (thanks to tip #37) of 2018. We made it!

  • Tax Year 2025 Continues!

    We made it. Tax Day 2025 is finally over. For most of us. When the filing season started on Jan. 27, the IRS said it expected more than 140 million individual tax returns for tax year 2024 to be filed by April 15. When the month started, the agency was around 39 million short of that number. While many taxpayers no doubt got their 1040s in by Tax Day, million every year get an extension to file. That's fine.

    In fact, the Internal Revenue Service appreciates some of us spreading out our tax submissions. It gives the agency time to process the surge of returns that arrive en masse on April 15.

    But enough about Uncle Sam's tax collection issues. The focus now is on all y'all who filed for extensions, giving you another six months to complete your return. Let's get started on meeting that new Oct. 15 deadline. It will be here before you know it.

    The monthly tips and reminders a little further down this column can help you finish up your extended Form 1040. There also will be tax tidbits each month that make sure you meet other tax deadlines. And, of course, you'll find advice on ways to cut your 2025 tax bill.

Time for Tax Tasks


  • monthly tax moves


  • Welcome July!
    🗽 USA 🎆 Birthday 🎉 Time! 🦅


    This first full month of summer really knows how to get the season started: Fireworks across the country on July 4!
    Or, if your neighborhood is annoyingly like mine, fireworks from July 1 through July whenever the pyrotechnics are all boomed!

    Even more exciting, tax-related sparklers continue through the month. In fact, as the calendar of tax tasks below notes, they started before the wicks on any official Independence Day firecrackers were lit.

    Click on the image for some fireworks safety tips and warnings from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

    I know, you're feeling like the youngster above, not quite ready yet to hear about taxes. But when you do take your hands off your ears to hear — or rather, scroll down to read — you’ll find some tax information to note and tax moves to make in July.

  • July 1: The majority of state individual and corporate income tax policy changes follow the calendar year and take effect each Jan. 1. But, notes the Tax Foundation, many sales and excise tax changes take effect today, July 1, which is the beginning of the fiscal year for all states except Alabama, Michigan, New York, and Texas. That’s why that notable tax changes will take effect in several states today.

    July 4: Happy 249th Birthday, America!

    Most of us will never be totally independent of taxes, but we can celebrate fewer tax hassles by paying attention to what we might owe and how we can reduce that amount throughout the year. As for that owed amount, if you meet most of your annual tax federal obligation via paycheck withholding, now is a good time to review that amount. If you need to adjust your withholding, the amounts will be less noticeable by being spread across 2025’s remaining six months.

    July 10: If your job is as a server at a restaurant or at any other establishment where gratuities from customers are part of your compensation, I hope you get all the tips you deserve for doing your job well. Remember, though, that those tips are taxable income.

    restaurant check tip iStock
    Whether you're dining at your favorite eatery or getting food, groceries and/or prepared meals, delivered to your home, if a tip isn't included on your restaurant or delivery bill, click the image above to calculate how much to tip the person who brought it to you.

    If you got at least $20 in gratuities in June for your extraordinary services as a food server or hair stylist or parking valet or whatever job where tipping is common, you must report that amount by today. Use Form 4070 to let your employer know the total tips you took in last month.

    July 11: Today kicks off the first of the annual summer state sales tax holidays. During these special shopping events, usually touted as back-to-school tax holidays, certain items are exempt from the states’ and usually the local sales taxes. Announced July sales tax holidays are (so far) in —
    Mississippi from July 11 to 13;
    Alabama from July 18 to 20;
    New Mexico from July 25 to 27, and
    Tennessee from July 25 to 27.

    July 18: If back in April you got an extension to file your 2025 tax return, you don’t have to wait until the final Oct. 15 deadline to do so. You can get this tax task out of the way so you don’t have to think about it for the rest of the summer. You also might be able to file electronically at no cost if your adjusted gross income (AGI), regardless of your filing status, is $84,000 or less by using the official IRS.gov Free File website.

    IRS Free File; click image for details

    Eight software companies are part of this year’s IRS-Free File Alliance partnership option at IRS.gov. They will be available through the Oct. 15 extension deadline, but again, you don’t have to wait. And if your income is too high, you still can file for free by using Free File's Fillable Forms option.

    July 24: Millions of us head to the beach to beat summer’s heat. But when the waters heat up, too, they can feed tropical systems. So far, the 2025 Atlantic (and Gulf of Mexico) hurricane season, which runs through Nov.  30, hasn’t been that bad. But federal forecasters say just wait. They once again are forecasting a more active than usual hurricane season. Before another tropical system forms, now is the time to get ready.

    Hurricane satellite image

    Uncle Sam's official forecasters at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center say we could get 13 to 19 total named storms, which are those with winds of 39 mph or higher. Of those, six to 10 are forecast to become hurricanes, meaning winds of 74 mph or higher. Three to five of the storms this season could become major hurricanes; that’s category 3, 4 or 5, with winds of 111 mph or higher.



    The countdown clock above can help you keep track of how many more days you have to worry about tracking any size or type of tropical storms. You also might want to check out the ol' blog's Storm Warnings collection of special pages with posts offer tax advice on preparing for, recovering from and helping those who sustain damages from the many ways that that weather goes wild.

    July 31: Summer is a great time to make home improvements. And there’s some added urgency this year if you’re relying on tax credits to help cover the cost of energy-efficient residential upgrades. Congress has targeted green energy tax breaks in its massive One Big Beautiful Bill. Many of the tax breaks will expire sooner than originally scheduled, so get your home improvements — and other environmentally friendly moves, like buying an electric vehicle — in under the tax law change wire.

    Small Business Tax Calendar: If you run your own company, you know there are myriad important filing, deposit, and record keeping dates throughout the year that your company needs to meet. You also can track key business and individual tax deadlines in IRS Pub. 509.

State Tax Help

  • Don't forget your state taxes!
    Forty-two states and D.C. collect personal income taxes. But even if you live in of the eight states without any income levy, you still face other state (and local) taxes.

    State Tax Departments provides links to your state's Web page. The companion page, Tax Tidbits, is the compilation of blurbs about each state's tax laws. And for more state tax news, check out all our state tax bloggings.

Tax Forms


  • Tax Forms
    Thanks to our increased use of tax preparers and computer software, many of us don't see our tax forms until we sign and file them. But knowing what's on these documents, either in paper or digital form, and why the IRS wants it is key to understanding our tax system. And knowledge definitely is power, especially when it comes to tax savings. Find this valuable information in the ol' blog's special Tax Forms 2025 page.

  • While it's easy to rail at the IRS, for the most part we can thank — or blame — Congress and the White House for our tax laws. So if you have an issue with tax legislation or want a tax bill passed, you need to let your federal legislators and the White House occupant know of your concerns. You can find out who in Washington, D.C., to contact (and how), as well as get information on your local lawmakers for matters, tax or otherwise, closer to home, at USA Gov.
