Although I do not prepare income tax returns, please see below for some helpful information published by Kiplinger.

The due date for most individual 2024 returns is April 15. Taxpayers in disaster areas have more time to file and pay: May 1 for those in all of Ala.,Fla., Ga., N.C. and S.C., and parts of Alaska, N.M., Tenn., Va. and W.Va. Oct. 15 for victims of the recent Southern Calif. wildfires. And Nov. 3 for flood victims in Ky.

You can get a filing extension until Oct. 15 if you’re not ready. The extra time extends only to the tax return filing deadline, not to paying any taxes that you owe. You can get an extension in multiple ways. Use IRS’s Free File to e-file Form 4868
and pay if you expect to owe tax. Pay electronically through IRS’s Direct Pay service or the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System. Or mail Form 4868 with a payment.

If you’re due a refund, hopefully you would have already filed your 1040. But if not, understand that filing a refund return late won’t subject you to penalties. That’s because taxpayers owe late-filing or late-payment penalties only if they owe tax.

You’re ready to fill out your 2024 return but haven’t yet received your W-2. What to do? If you have an IRS individual online tax account, check it out, because IRS is adding 2023 and 2024 W-2s filed by employers to it. Create an account if you don’t already have one. State and local tax data aren’t available on the W-2s
in the online tax accounts. Contact your employer and ask for a copy of the W-2. If all else fails, timely file your 1040 and attach Form 4852, a substitute W-2 form on which you would estimate your wages and taxes withheld to the best of your ability.
Looking last-minute for a tax pro to help you prepare and file your return? If you don’t otherwise have a preparer, you want to find someone who is qualified and knows the ever-changing tax laws, while also weeding out unreliable preparers. Here are some tips for choosing a qualified return preparer this filing season:
Maybe you want a credentialed preparer, meaning someone vetted by IRS, a state or regulatory board. The most common are CPAs, lawyers and enrolled agents. One way to find a credentialed preparer near you is to use IRS’s online Directory
of Federal Tax Return Preparers with Credentials and Select Qualifications. Most non-credentialed preparers also provide outstanding tax prep service. Ask the right questions. Request to see the person’s up-to-date credentials. If not credentialed, inquire about education, experience and what he or she does
to keep up with tax law changes. Ask if the fees are by the hour or by the return, or if there’s a minimum fee, with add-ons depending on the return’s complexity.
If the amount of your refund looks too good to be true...well, you know the adage. Avoid preparers who engage in the following egregious misconduct: Basing his or her fee on a percentage of your refund. Asking you to sign a blank return. Saying that you don’t need to review the return. And not putting his or her signature or preparer tax ID number at the bottom of the return before filing it with IRS.

According to The Kiplinger Tax Letter Vol 100 No. 2

IRS will begin accepting 2024 individual income tax returns on Jan. 27.
Returns for individuals and calendar-year C corps are generally due April 15.
Taxpayers in all of Ala., Fla., Ga., N.C. and S.C., and parts of Alaska, N.M., Tenn., Va.
and W.Va. have until May 1 to file their 2024 federal tax returns and pay tax due.
Victims of the recent wildfires in Southern Calif. have until Oct. 15 to file and pay.
The deadline for calendar-year S corporations and partnerships is March 17.
Businesses in the states listed above have until May 1 or Oct. 15 to file returns.
We generally expect a smooth filing season...with one potential major caveat.
Current government funding ends on March 14. If no agreement is reached
before then to extend funding, many agencies, including IRS, will shutter on March 15.
If the Service has to close down in mid-March, there will be a disruption.
But the impact would be uncertain because a federal government shutdown
has never occurred during a tax return filing season. IRS will still process returns,
issue refunds and collect payments. But its ability to provide assistance will suffer.
The fastest way to get your tax refund is to file early, file electronically...
And request for the money to be deposited directly into your bank account.
If you have to file a paper return, don’t be surprised if your refund check is delayed.
IRS pays most refunds within 21 days. But some refunds could be held up.
E-filing early can also help protect you from tax-related identity theft.
Thieves who use stolen taxpayer identification numbers on fraudulent returns
to seek improper refunds typically file the phony returns early in the filing season,
so that the Service receives them before legitimate taxpayers file their returns.
If you e-file early, IRS will likely process your valid return before any fake return.
Apply for an identity-protection PIN as extra protection from identity theft.
The IP PIN is a six-digit number assigned by IRS to help verify a taxpayer’s identity.
An IP PIN can also help some filers who claim dependents. IRS will accept Forms 1040,
1040-NR and 1040-SS that are electronically filed, even if a dependent has been claimed
on an earlier return filed by someone else, provided the primary listed taxpayer
who electronically filed the second federal return includes a valid IP PIN with the filing.
To apply for an IP PIN, go to “Get an identity protection PIN (IP PIN)” on IRS’s website.
Want to electronically file your federal return but don’t want to pay for it?
IRS has three free options: The agency’s Free File program lets taxpayers
with adjusted gross incomes of $84,000 or less use free commercial software
to prepare and e-file returns (some of the tax prep firms set lower AGI requirements).
The Service’s Free File Fillable Forms are for individuals with higher AGIs
who are knowledgeable about the changes in the tax laws and who are comfortable
preparing their own returns. Go to www.irs.gov/freefile to access these two options.
There’s also IRS’s Direct File program. Eligible individuals who opt in
get a guide and online support from IRS personnel to prepare and e-file their 1040s
using a smartphone, laptop or other device. IRS first piloted this program last year.
Taxpayers with simple returns who live in one of 25 states can use Direct File.
See www.irs.gov/directfile for details and an online tool to check if you are eligible.

DID YOU KNOW?

You generally can’t deduct monthly homeowner and condo association fees.
They are considered personal expenditures. But there are two exceptions:
First, the fees that landlords pay on residential rental property are tax-deductible
and can be claimed on Schedule E. Second, self-employed individuals who use part
of their home for business can include the homeowner and condo association fees
that they pay on Form 8829, line 22, when calculating their home office deduction.

Per the Kiplinger tax letter——>Beware of e-mails from scammers offering to help set up IRS online accounts.
The swindlers are making these offers to steal your personal information.
They’ll often ask for your address, Social Security number and photo identification,
which they will then use for nefarious purposes, such as filing a false tax return.
If you get one of these communications, don’t respond and report it to the Service.
IRS’s website is the only site you should use to create an online account.
You’ll also be directed to the ID.me site to create an account for verifying your identity.

ID.me Wallet simplifies how individuals discover and access benefits and services through a single login and verified identity.
