Frequently Asked Questions
No, our tax services extend to all 50 States, with offices in Florida and Missouri; We offer virtual assistance to cater to your tax needs remotely.
You can take the deduction only if you’re self-employed. People who work remotely for an employer can’t deduct home office expenses.
Self-employed people can deduct their home office expenses if they use part of their home “regularly and exclusively” for business. The home office doesn’t have to be a separate room but it must be an area where you don’t do anything else – so, not your kitchen table.
The saver's tax credit can be worth up to $1,000 per person and $2,000 per couple. To qualify, you need to contribute to a 401(k), IRA or other retirement savings plan and meet the income limits – for 2023, you must have earned less than $73,000 if married filing jointly ($76,500 for 2024), $54,750 if filing as head of household ($57,375 for 2024) or $36,500 if filing single ($38,250 for 2024).
The child and dependent care tax credit can give you a valuable break if you pay for child care while you work.
The maximum credit is 35% of up to $3,000 in child care expenses for one child and up to $6,000 in expenses for two or more (the percentage is lower for higher income levels).
To qualify, you must have children under 13 or other qualifying dependents and pay for their care while you and your spouse work or look for work. The cost of day care, preschool, nanny services, before- and after-school care – and even day camp – count toward the credit.
It’s a good idea to keep your tax returns (or a digitized copy) forever.
You need to keep records reporting your income, expenses and deductions for at least three years after the filing deadline, which is the length of time the IRS generally has to initiate an audit.
You may want to keep the records for at least six years if you have self-employment income from a variety of sources – that's how long the IRS typically has to initiate an audit if it finds a substantial error. Note that some states have different time frames for audits.
Keep records of stock and mutual fund purchases you make in a taxable account as long as you own the investment and save records of significant home improvements until you sell your property. In addition, keep records of nondeductible IRA contributions until you withdraw all the money from the account.
