“Oct.15”について [税金]

いつもブログに訪問いただき有り難うございます。

秋晴れの心地よい季節となりましたが、皆様におかれましてはいかがお過ごしでしょうか?

さて、10月1日より米国の政府機関の閉鎖により米内国歳入庁(IRS)の業務にも滞りが生じている様子ですが、2012年度連邦所得税を延長申請した場合の申告期限には変わりないようです。

IRS Operations During The Lapse In Appropriations


以下の点に注意して書類作成を進められることをお勧めします。

Here are common errors to avoid.

1.Wrong or missing Social Security numbers.

Be sure you enter SSNs for yourself and others on your tax return exactly as they are on the Social Security cards.

2.Names wrong or misspelled.

Be sure you enter names of all individuals on your tax return exactly as they are on their Social Security cards.

3.Filing status errors.

Choose the right filing status. There are five filing statuses: Single, Married Filing Jointly, Married Filing Separately, Head of Household and Qualifying Widow(er) With Dependent Child. See Publication 501, Exemptions, Standard Deduction and Filing Information, to help you choose the right one. E-filing your tax return will also help you choose the right filing status.

4.Math mistakes.

If you file a paper tax return, double check the math. If you e-file, the software does the math for you. For example, if your Social Security benefits are taxable, check to ensure you figured the taxable portion correctly.tax booklet carefully.

5.Errors in figuring credits, deductions.

Take your time and read the instructions in your tax booklet carefully. Many filers make mistakes figuring their Earned Income Tax Credit, Child and Dependent Care Credit and the standard deduction. For example, if you are age 65 or older or blind check to make sure you claim the correct, larger standard deduction amount.

6.Wrong bank account numbers.

Direct deposit is the fast, easy and safe way to receive your tax refund. Make sure you enter your bank routing and account numbers correctly.

7.Forms not signed, dated.

An unsigned tax return is like an unsigned check – it’s invalid. Remember both spouses must sign a joint return.

8.Electronic signature errors.

If you e-file your tax return, you will sign the return electronically using a Personal Identification Number. For security purposes, the software will ask you to enter the Adjusted Gross Income from your originally-filed 2011 federal tax return. Do not use the AGI amount from an amended 2011 return or an AGI provided to you if the IRS corrected your return. You may also use last year's PIN if you e-filed last year and remember your PIN.
