What to Expect When Filing Your 2013 Tax Return

Tags:

Did you know that the government shutdown has had an impact on your tax return? Because the shutdown prevented the IRS from doing some of its standard tax season preparation, the filing season will begin a little later and your refund could be delayed a week or two. There are also numerous changes in tax laws that might affect your tax bill for 2013, including steeper rates, a new tax on investment income, changes in deduction options for higher-income taxpayers and extended tax benefits for those in the middle-income brackets. In addition, new provisions associated with the Affordable Care Act, such as the premium tax credit for some insurance purchases, should be part of your planning.

It’s one of the many credits and deductions that business owners should be aware of as they consider this year’s tax return.

Don’t miss out on the chance to take the Section 179 and bonus depreciation deduction for 2013, for example. You should also consider how new rates on ordinary income, capital gains and investment income will affect your bottom line.
