Jackson Hewitt(R) Shares Year-End Tax Tips to Help Americans Get Their Maximum Refund in 2016
(firmenpresse) - JERSEY CITY, NJ -- (Marketwired) -- 12/08/15 -- The countdown to 2016 is on, and is sharing tax tips to ensure clients make smart financial moves before the year ends. Now is the time to consider organizing financial records and implementing these simple tax strategies.
"December is the optimal time to start planning for next year, and we want to help our clients get a head start," said Jackson Hewitt CEO David Prokupek. "By prioritizing specific activities before the year ends, we help ensure clients can claim their maximum refund in the upcoming tax season."
Instead of dropping change in the bucket this holiday, consider making a cash or property donation to a qualified charitable organization before Dec. 31. For those filing an itemized tax return, charitable contributions can be deducted using Form 1040, Schedule A. Keep in mind, donations above $250 require written acknowledgement from the organization, and donations of $500 or more require you to complete Form 8283.
If you have a 401(k) or Traditional IRA set up for retirement, make contributions to those accounts now to reduce your taxable income for 2015. You may contribute up to $18,000 to your 401(K) and $5,500 to your Traditional IRA. And these amounts increase if you''re over age 50. If you don''t have one set up, consider doing so -- an IRA is a gift that keeps on giving.
It is important to sign up in December to ensure you have coverage on Jan. 1, 2016 and avoid the penalty for not having health insurance in 2016, which will increase to $695 per adult and $347.50 per child, or 2.5 percent of income, whichever is greater.
Make an advanced payment on your mortgage or student loans in December to claim the highest possible interest deduction.
There are a number of tax breaks, known as "The Extenders" that are still pending renewal in Congress. Visit a Jackson Hewitt tax professional to learn about these changes and if you qualify for any of these deductions.
Starting on Monday, Jan. 4, customers can either make an appointment with a Jackson Hewitt tax professional or simply walk into one of the company''s 6,300 locations. If you are interested in learning more, visit or call 1 (800) 234-1040.
