Many people will attempt to do their own taxes this year and the question is whether to do them by hand, online, or have them prepared professionally at CPA. If you only have a few simple items such as rent or mortgage, and no divorce or child care to account for then doing them online may be a great benefit. With the 1000’s of tax codes that have beem implemented in the past years it is next to impossible for anyone to know what changes would affect them.

When preparing your taxes for this year here are some helpful tips to help you keep on the good side of the IRS.The IRS raised the income limits for those who can file a 1040EZ or 1040A return. Now you can use either if your income is less than $100,000. Single, or married filing a joint return, with no dependents or adjustments to income? Use the one-page 1040EZ. Taking some deductions but not itemizing? Then use the 1040A.
If you itemize and made a cash donation to a qualified charity taking funds.But don’t get too carried away tallying up your contributions or claiming a higher value for your non-cash donations. Some have read that the option to deduct  State and local taxes the is no longer available to you. This is not entirely true. Congress re-enacted this tax break in December, long after the IRS printed its materials. So taxpayers can choose to deduct either their state income taxes paid, or state and local sales tax — whichever is higher. This deduction requires taxpayers to itemize all of their state and local taxes and will require the 1040 long form.
