TAX TIP TUESDAY: Summer Tax Planning Series
As college students head back to school, many are also starting part-time jobs, work-study programs, internships, or freelance work—and that can create tax questions for parents. A few smart steps now can make tax time easier: make sure Form W-4 is completed correctly, save W-2s, 1099s, pay stubs, and tuition records, track any self-employment income, and keep Form 1098-T for education credit planning. If your student earns income, receives scholarships, or is still claimed as a dependent, the right strategy can help avoid surprises and may uncover tax savings.
