🔎 5 OVERLOOKED TAX RULES YOU SHOULD KNOW!
Some tax rules are easy to miss—even if you file taxes every year! Let’s test your knowledge with five less-common tax questions. 💡
1️⃣ 💰 IRA CHARITABLE DONATIONS: If you donate money directly from your IRA to an eligible charity, could the distribution receive different tax treatment than an ordinary IRA withdrawal?
2️⃣ 👨👩👧 CHILDCARE BENEFITS: If your employer provides dependent care benefits, can you use the same childcare expenses to claim the Child and Dependent Care Credit?
3️⃣ 🌎 WORKING ABROAD: If you qualify for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, does that automatically eliminate your self-employment tax?
4️⃣ 🛋️ DONATING USED ITEMS: If you donate used furniture, clothing, or household items to charity, are there condition and documentation requirements to claim a deduction?
5️⃣ 💼 HOBBY INCOME: If you earn money from an activity you consider a hobby, do you still need to report that income on your federal tax return?
💬 COMMENT YOUR ANSWERS! How many do you know—1, 2, 3, 4, or all 5?
