主持人: 今年许多纳税人惊讶地发现自己需要缴纳额外税款而不是获得退税。这并非因为政府变得贪婪,而是由于多种因素,例如预扣税款不准确、兼职收入、从退休账户提取资金等。为了避免这种情况,应该调整W-4表格,确保预扣的税款更准确,目标是尽量接近零税负,而不是获得大额退税。此外,兼职或自由职业收入通常不会预扣税款,需要自行缴纳自雇税。从传统退休账户提取资金也会被视为收入并征税。疫情期间的刺激性支票和税收减免已经取消,也导致可抵扣金额减少。婚姻状况变化、房产出售等重大生活事件也会影响税负。 Jasmine DeLucci: 为了避免税务惊喜,第一步是检查并调整W-4表格,确保预扣的税款准确无误。通过全年监控预扣税款,可以避免在报税时出现欠税或多交税的情况。可以使用在线报税计算器来计算预扣税款,并根据实际情况进行调整。很多人欠税的主要原因是预扣税款不准确,因为预扣税款计算器可能无法考虑所有变量,例如兼职收入、配偶收入等。很多人没有意识到兼职收入需要缴纳自雇税,这会增加税负。Venmo等平台的交易需要如实申报,即使是报销款项也需要在税表中进行说明。应该定期检查IRS税务记录,确保所有收入都已正确申报。收到IRS的税务通知并不一定意味着被审计或面临牢狱之灾,应该按照正确的流程处理。及时处理IRS的税务通知非常重要,避免拖延导致更严重的后果。大多数人使用标准扣除额比列举扣除额更划算,除非有非常高的抵押贷款利息或慈善捐款。税收抵免并非等同于直接抵扣金额,而是根据税率计算的。
