By 2016, Newsletters

The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (PATH), a bill of tax extenders affecting a number of expired provisions in the tax code, was signed into law by President Obama on December 18. The 2014 expiration of many significant tax credits resulted in a year of uncertainty for businesses and individuals. However, beginning in 2016, businesses and individuals should feel confident in their ability to once again take advantage of several important tax incentives that have been extended through 2010 — and in many cases, permanently.

2015 Retirement Account Changes

By 2015, Newsletters, Tax Tips

Retirement savers will have a new retirement account option in 2015. Investors will also be eligible to contribute $500 more to a 401(k) next year. Here’s a look at how retirement accounts will change in 2015.

Introducing myRA. The Treasury will offer a new type of retirement account, the myRA, beginning in late 2014 that is guaranteed by the government to never lose value. Deposits will be made via payroll deduction, and accounts can be opened with an initial deposit of as little as $25 and then direct deposits of $5 or more each payday. But these accounts are not tied to your job and are portable if you change jobs. Savers with an annual income of less than $129,000 for individuals and $191,000 for couples will be eligible to participate. These new accounts “target low- and middle-income Americans who don’t currently have access to an employer-sponsored plan,” says Mikio Thomas, a senior tax analyst for the Internal Revenue Service.

September 2014 Newsletter

By 2014, Newsletters, Tax Tips

If you still rely on snail mail to pay your federal taxes, think about trying a new approach:  paying electronically.

Among the options is a web-based system, launched this year, known as “IRS Direct Pay.” You can use it to zap your individual federal tax bills or estimated tax payments directly from your bank account.

That might not sound so smart to readers fearful of hackers or other cyberspace hazards. However, growing numbers are trying the program. Nearly 800,000 tax payments totaling almost $1.6 billion have been received from individual taxpayers since Direct Pay made its debut earlier this year, says Eric Smith, an IRS spokesman.
