Huge Tax Deductions That People Rarely Use

By Norbert Higensen


Tax season is right around the corner. Before you start sobbing and crawl under your desk like a frightened puppy, take a second to read about how you can prepare yourself for the tax season gauntlet. There are some simple ways to prepare for this dreaded time of year. Take these steps now, not later, to ensure that when April 15th rolls around, you won't need to go out and find a tax attorney to handle your case.

Get Yourself Organized

Tax experts and tax lawyers will be able to further help those who are in trouble with their taxes or who are on shaky ground with the IRS, but there are many things that everyday people can utilize to receive greater tax deductions. One of the first and best tax deductions that people across the country miss out on year after year are non-cash charitable donations.

Find out What Deductions you Can Use

This may sound odd, but how many people mark down the cost of clothing that they have giving to thrift stores and second-hand stores such as Goodwill, Savors, or the Salvation Army on their tax deductions? The answer is far fewer than who donate, that is for sure.

* Savers Tax Credit: A credit for those contributing to a retirement plan, or 401k.

Sometimes it is just easier to let an expert take control of the situation. This can save you a huge headache. There are several companies out there that specialize in filing taxes. They can also help you find all of the deductions which you may be missing.

If you are too prideful to go to one of these companies, remember that there are fantastic programs for filing your taxes on the computer. They usually charge a small fee that is taken out of you return, but they are worth it. If you are still too head-strong for that option, then look online for tax help. There are several websites that offer guidance and tips.

The second way to qualify for health care tax deductions on premiums is if the medical expenses for a person over the fiscal year exceed seven and a half (7.5) percent of the person's adjusted gross income. If one qualifies in either of these two ways then it should be relatively easy to deduct health insurance premiums from their taxes.

This cannot be stressed enough. Start getting ready now so that you will not be scrambling three days before. Gathering everything and filling out the forms takes time, so get started early. Learn from the past and finish you taxes early. You will be enjoying your refund while all of the suckers are freaked out about filing their taxes. Hopefully these simple tips helped. Set yourself up for success by getting organized, gathering deductions and speaking with experts!
