So - there is still a tax filing deadline on April 15, 2020. The IRS provided official guidance in IRS Notice 2020-17 to provide clarification on relief for taxpayers due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Under this relief, the due date for Federal income tax PAYMENTS that were due April 15, 2020 have been extended to July 15, 2020 - so taxpayers can delay their PAYMENT until July 15, 2020 without interest or penalty. This relief does NOT extend the tax return filing deadline. The Filing deadline is still April 15, 2020.
Breathe in, breathe out, move on.

The IRS announced on Monday evening that it is prepared to start processing 2018 tax returns on Jan. 28 and that it will pay tax refunds despite the partial shutdown of the federal government. The agency has been operating under a contingency plan that has furloughed 88% of the IRS’s workforce. It says it will recall “a significant portion” of its furloughed staff for tax season. The agency also says it will issue an updated contingency plan in the next few days.

Did you know that if your income is under $61,500 (under $30,750 if single) and you contribute to any retirement plan, you could be eligible for a ''Retirement Savings Contribution Credit'? A tax credit of up to 50% of the amount contributed to retirement.

The Federal deductible rate for Charitable miles driven in 2016 is 14.0 cents per mile. Maryland will allow you to deduct 54.0 cents per mile driven for charitable purposes. This Maryland subtraction would be taken on Form 502 SU. . . If you drive a good amount for charitable purposes, this could add up and save you a few Maryland tax dollars.

Parent's with a child that will work part time in 2017. . . If you expect the person to earn under $6,300 for 2017 - you can have them complete the Form W-4 as 'Exempt' from Federal withholding tax. This means that they will not have any income tax withheld from their pay. If they earn under $6,300 they are not required to file a Federal income tax return. . BUT if they have tax withheld - the only way to get the refund is to file a tax return. I just saw a child's W-2 that had $31 tax withheld. . the only way he gets this back is to file a return. This creates an unnecessary burden.
