Additional Child Tax Credit Changes – Did You Know?

Congress enacted several rule changes for tax year 2024 for the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), a companion credit to the standard Child Tax Credit (CTC).

The maximum CTC amount for 2024 is $2,000 per qualifying child and the credit is nonrefundable, which means that if your CTC amount exceeds the tax you owe, you cannot receive the excess credit as a refund. However, many people who qualify for the CTC are also eligible for the ACTC, which makes the CTC at least partially refundable. For 2024, the maximum ACTC amount is $1,700, a $100 increase from 2023. In addition, new rules have made millions more residents of Puerto Rico eligible for the ACTC than in the past.

A tax professional can help you determine whether you qualify for these and other valuable credits, and help you e-file your return to get your refund as quickly as possible.

Increased Standard Deductions and IRA Contribution Limits for 2024

Several key deductions and account contributions limits have increased from 2023 to 2024. In particular, standard deductions rose to $14,600 for single filers and married people filing separate returns, $21,900 for head of household filers, and $29,200 for joint filers. All of these figures represent increases of at least $750 over 2023 levels.

The annual contribution limit for IRAs also increased by $500 in 2024, up to $7,000 for people under 50 years old, and $8,000 for those of age 50 or older. If you have not yet reached this limit, then you may still make 2024 contributions to your traditional or Roth IRAs up until April 15, 2025.

A tax professional can help you take advantage of these and other IRS rule changes for 2024, and file your return electronically to get your refund as quickly as possible.

FinCEN Updates BOI Reporting Deadlines

Under the rules of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), most U.S. companies, including many small businesses, must disclose ownership information to the federal government. Specifically, affected business entities must file a report of beneficial ownership information (BOI) with the federal Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

Originally, FinCEN set a BOI reporting deadline in early January 2025 for all affected businesses that were founded before the end of 2024. However, that deadline was suspended multiple times due to pending litigation related to the CTA. Recently, FinCEN officials announced the following, updated filing deadlines:
- For businesses that were previously given deadlines after March 21, 2025 (for example, due to disaster-related filing extensions), those deadlines remain in place.
- For all other affected businesses, the deadline to file an initial or updated BOI report is now March 21, 2025.

Multiple court cases related to the CTA are still ongoing, and Congress is debating legislation that would further delay the first BOI reporting deadline. In addition, FinCEN is considering additional deadline extensions and/or exemptions for some small businesses. Note that most sole proprietorships are already exempt from BOI reporting requirements.

IRS Online Account Setup Scams – Did You Know?

Each year, the IRS issues a list of the most prevalent scams that put taxpayers' identities and hard-earned money at risk.

In the IRS Online Account scam, the scammer contacts a taxpayer, posing as a representative of a supposedly helpful service for people with limited computer skills. The scammer offers to help the taxpayer set up an online IRS account, asking for sensitive information like the taxpayer's address, photo ID, and Social Security number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification number (ITIN). The scammer then sells this information to criminals, who use it for tax fraud and other forms of identity theft.

The IRS warns taxpayers that ANY such offer is a scam. Most people can readily set up their own IRS online accounts by following the instructions at irs.gov. If you do need help, only seek it from a trusted person, like a family member or tax professional.

Potentially Taxable Income - Did You Know?

In addition to any wages you received as an employee (usually shown on Form W-2), other types of income that you may need to report include:

- Earnings from self-employment activities like freelancing or gig economy work
- Revenue from selling crafts or other goods online
- Investment income like dividends, interest and capital gains
- Prizes, awards or gambling winnings
- Earnings from part-time or seasonal work, or from offering services through a mobile app
- Gains from transactions involving cryptocurrency or other digital assets

Note that certain types of income, such as child support, may be excludable from the total income you report on your tax return. A tax professional can help you determine whether you qualify for any income exclusions, and help you properly report all of your other income to ensure a hassle-free filing season.

Gathering Important Tax Filing Documents

The surest way to get your tax refund quickly is to e-file an accurate, complete return. In order to do that, you may need to reference a variety of tax documents. In addition to your Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) and the SSN/ITINs for your spouse and dependents, you may also need:

- Income statements like W-2s and 1099s
- 1098 forms showing expenses that may qualify you for tax deductions or credits, like mortgage or student loan interest, charitable contributions or college tuition
- Form 1095-A (Health Insurance Marketplace statement)
- Records of transactions involving digital assets like cryptocurrency or NFTs
- Purchase records for any vehicle that qualifies for the Clean Vehicle Credit
- Any IRS notices you have received
- Bank account and routing numbers to set up direct deposit of your refund

Once you have gathered up all these materials, a tax professional can help you file your return electronically with direct deposit, to ensure the fastest possible processing.

Duplicate Dependent Claims – Did You Know?

Under IRS rules, two different people cannot claim the same dependent on their tax returns. Therefore, the IRS has historically rejected any e-filed return where a person claimed a dependent who was already listed on a return filed by someone else. In such cases, the second filer had to submit their return on paper, causing lengthy processing delays. However, a new IRS policy for overlapping dependent claims has taken effect this filing season.

This year, the IRS will accept an e-filed return that duplicates a dependent claim from another return, as long as the second return includes an IRS identity protection ID number (IP PIN). You can obtain a 2025 IP PIN for free through the IRS website (link below). Once you have your IP PIN, you must include it on all tax forms you submit to the IRS this year, which will protect you against other people filing false tax forms in your name.

Although this new rule means that more e-filed returns will be accepted, the IRS will still investigate duplicate dependent claims to determine who may rightfully claim the dependent. A tax professional can help you properly identify your dependents, and help you obtain an IP PIN and e-file your return for secure, fast processing.

Earned Income Tax Credit Eligibility - Did You Know?

Millions of Americans may qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which can significantly reduce a person's tax or increase their IRS refund. Unfortunately, many people miss out on this valuable credit each year because they do not realize that they are eligible.

Even if you have not qualified for the EITC in the past, you may be eligible if you experienced a life change in 2024 like a reduction in income, a change in marital status, or the birth or adoption of a child. Others who may overlook the opportunity to claim the credit include veterans, grandparents raising grandchildren, Native Americans, and people who live in rural areas or have limited English skills.

In order to claim the EITC, you must file a tax return, even if you do not have enough income to have a filing requirement. A tax professional can check your eligibility and help you file your return electronically to get your refund as quickly as possible.

Hobby or Business – Did You Know?

Depending on a variety of factors, the IRS may designate a side gig as either a business or a hobby. In some cases, having your side gig classified as a business can offer tax advantages, while in others, the hobby classification may be preferable.

Generally, the IRS defines a business as any activity that a person regularly pursues with a reasonable expectation of making a profit. If an activity results in losses (expenses exceeding revenue), the IRS may look at why those losses occurred, to determine whether they are likely to continue in the future.

One subtle factor to consider is the future value of assets used for the activity. If a pursuit involves acquiring property that gains value over time, like real estate or certain musical instruments, then those gains may yield long-term profits in spite of short-term losses. A tax professional can help you determine whether the IRS will likely see your side gig as a business or a hobby, and whether changes to how you pursue the activity could result in tax savings.

IRS 2025 IP PIN to Improve Security - Did You Know?

The IRS encourages everyone to get an identity protection number (IP PIN) for the 2025 tax filing season. An IP PIN is a unique code that you include on your tax return and any other IRS forms that you file during a year. Using this code prevents scammers from submitting fraudulent tax documents in your name, in an attempt to steal your refund or identity.

The easiest way to obtain an IP PIN is to create an online IRS account (link below). You can also request one by mail by filing IRS Form 15227. Note that an IP PIN only lasts for one calendar year, so even if you had one in 2024, you will need a new one this year. Once you receive your 2025 IP PIN, make sure to include it on your 2024 tax return, so that the IRS will accept it and reject any fakes. A tax professional can help you file your return electronically with your IP PIN properly entered, to ensure the fastest possible processing.
