🚨🚨🚨you shouldn't shop around who gets you the "best" Return you should go with an accurate return. If you don't know or understand taxation I strongly encourage a second opinion. At the end of the day, it is the tax payers responsibility to make sure they meet their obligations. Just some TED talk. Be aware and diligent

I absolutely encourage every taxpayer, to be cautious ⚠️ of companies that can get you a "bigger refund" you may not actually be subject to it and have to repay. When you make more money your threshold is affected for credits. Just be educated

🚨🚨EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT (EITC): MONEY MANY TAXPAYERS MISS
The Earned Income Tax Credit is one of the largest refundable tax credits in the U.S.
Yet millions of eligible taxpayers don’t claim it every year.
👉 You may receive a refund even if you owe little or no federal income tax.
💰 You don’t need tax due to qualify
EITC is refundable. Low income ≠ disqualified.
👨‍👩‍👧 You don’t need kids
Single workers and taxpayers without dependents may still qualify.
💼 Side income counts
Gig work, freelancing, and self-employment can impact eligibility when reported correctly.
🧾 Filing status matters
Choosing the wrong status can mean lost credits.
⏳ Missed it before?
You may be able to claim EITC for up to 3 prior years.
❌ Common mistakes
Wrong SSNs, incorrect income, or filing status errors can delay or deny refunds.
🧠 EITC is income-based, not job-based
What matters: earned income + household situation.
📌 Freeman Solutions helps clients identify potential tax credits and file accurately.

**We constantly see taxpayers not know or understand taxation on certain taxable events. From house flipping, to selling your primary residence, selling a rental property, stocks/trades, short term vs long-term capital gains, to crypto. Taxpayers aren't educated on the tax implications that come with these transactions. Here is a little break down to hopefully help understand, to avoid unexpected tax liability.

💰 Capital Gains: What You’re Really Obligated to Know (Plain English)
If you invest, sell property, or trade assets, capital gains taxes apply. Understanding this helps you avoid surprises and make smarter decisions.
🔹 What Is a Capital Gain?
A capital gain happens when you sell something for more than you paid for it.
Common examples: • Stocks
• Real estate
• ETFs & mutual funds
• Crypto (yes — fully taxable in the U.S.)
⏱️ Short-Term vs. Long-Term (This Matters A LOT)
❌ Short-Term Capital Gains • Asset held 1 year or less
• Taxed like regular income
• Same tax rate as your paycheck (often high)
✅ Long-Term Capital Gains • Asset held more than 1 year
• Taxed at lower, special rates
📌 Time is one of the biggest tax strategies available.
📊 Long-Term Capital Gains Tax Rates (Big Picture)
• 0% – lower-income investors
• 15% – most middle & upper-middle earners
• 20% – high-income earners
💡 Many high-income investors legally pay 15% or less on investment income.
💵 Dividends: Not All Are Taxed the Same
❌ Ordinary (Non-Qualified) Dividends • Taxed like wages
• Higher tax cost
✅ Qualified Dividends • Meet IRS requirements
• Taxed at long-term capital gains rates
👉 Most U.S. blue-chip stocks pay qualified dividends.
📌 Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT)
High earners may owe an extra 3.8% on: • Capital gains
• Dividends
• Interest
• Rental income
⚠️ This only applies above certain income levels.
📉 Simple Comparison Example
👤 Person A (Employee)
• $100,000 in wages
• Pays income tax + payroll taxes
👤 Person B (Investor)
• $100,000 in long-term capital gains
• Pays lower tax
• No Social Security or Medicare tax
➡️ Same income. Very different tax bill.
🏦 Why Capital Gains Are So Powerful • Lower tax rates
• No payroll taxes
• Control over when taxes are triggered
• Step-up in basis at death (estate planning benefit)
📌 This is legal tax planning, not loopholes.
✅ Smart Investor Tax Rules ✔ Hold investments longer than 1 year
✔ Favor qualified dividends
✔ Use tax-advantaged accounts when possible
✔ Plan the timing of asset sales
📘 Understanding this is part of financial literacy — and protecting your money.
