    Many tax procrastinators make simple mistakes on their ta return such as putting down the wrong social security number or not signing their tax return.

  • Income Tax Considerations And Changes

    Here are Income Tax Considerations: Politicians across the country debate about ways to fund worthwhile programs, and the new mayor of New York City has received considerable attention regarding his proposed agenda. Mayor de Blasio has outlined a progressive agenda aimed at funding after-school and early education programs, and his approach pushes for higher tax rates for wealthy individuals. You may have a lot of tax questions regardless of your income level, but using Turbo Tax 2013 may help you make sense of current and future tax scenarios.

    Mayor de Blasio would like to impose a tax increase on residents who report an excess of $500,000 in taxable income, and he wants this tax increase to be in effect for five years. Taxes 2013 and beyond may be affected by such a measure, and the rate would move from 3.88% to 4.41% under the de Blasio proposal. New York city resident tax rates have been as high as 4.46% under previous administrations, and the additional funds were intended for education and crime prevention.

    A little over one percent of New York city residents would be affected, and the additional tax revenue raised would be approximately $500 million annually. This is in line with the goal of establishing continuous funding for education programs, and having this additional revenue may give Mayor de Blasio time to establish other funding sources once the higher tax rate has expired. Any discussion about proposed tax rate changes can lead to numerous questions, but Turbo Tax 2013 may help you find good ways to save at tax time.

  • TurboTax Continues To Grow In Popularity

    TurboTax Continues To Grow In Popularity

    Millions of people utilize TurboTax in order to file their income taxes annually. In fact, Intuit recently reported that sales for its products have increased since last year. Motley Fool pegs that increase around 30%, which is an incredible figure. Without a doubt, more and more taxpayers will continue to use this software in the coming years. This includes free TurboTax 2013 and its paid variants that are available today.

    Currently, TurboTax is so popular because it offers incredible features at an affordable price. Individuals unfamiliar with the tax system can follow the software’s step-by-step guide. More confident tax filers can go through each section at their leisure. Plus, Intuit offers free tax advice from knowledgeable professionals with each product. Tax audit assistance is available at a low fee, too. Undoubtedly, very few tax products offer such useful and affordable features.

    Free TurboTax 2013 stands as Intuit’s most popular tax preparation software. With this particular product, taxpayers can file simple income returns without paying a penny. The free version of TurboTax comes with the same great features as other variations. Luckily, most taxpayers can utilize this option without needing to pay for another. Most people file simple returns each year, and they are the most common type by far.

    For more complicated returns, various versions of TurboTax are available. This includes Deluxe, Small Business, and a handful of other products. Each one suits the needs of a different type of taxpayer. These products range in price from $19.99 to $89.99 under normal circumstances. With that in mind, thousands of people purchase these software. They come with a few added benefits in comparison to free TurboTax 2013.

    In the end, TurboTax will likely see its sales increase year-over-year in 2014, too. Intuit provides a very necessary product that outshines most of the competition. For that reason, the company sells millions of units each year. This holds true even with the existence of the free version, which doesn’t suit everyone’s needs. TurboTax won’t slow down any time soon because most Americans file their taxes through preparation software rather than doing them themselves.
