We are almost upon tax season again, and yes, there are many changes that you should be aware of regarding tax law changes that could affect your tax liability in these years.  The changes impact everything from how much you pay for health care insurance, to how much you can deduct for attending college or buying classroom supplies.

The Affordable Health Care Act will impact next year’s return in many ways.

In regards to how the Obamacare tax subsidy will work and how the subsidy will be paid out and treated on an individual’s tax return is something new that we all need to be aware of.

Most taxpayers will receive the subsidy in the form of a direct government payment to their insurance company that lowers monthly premiums. This is called an Advanced (Premium) Tax Credit.

The alternative is for a taxpayer to pay the full monthly insurance premium charged by their insurance company every month during the year, and then claim the subsidy as a tax credit on the annual return. This entitles the taxpayer to a tax refund in the amount of the subsidy.

2013 Tax Changes

By year's end, Americans usually have a good idea of what the tax rules will look like in the new year and can plan accordingly. That's not the case this time around. With a huge chunk of the tax code set to expire Jan. 1, the 2013 tax forecast is, well, foggy.

"The problem is, if you wait to see what Washington does before you give this any real thought, it might be too late to take any meaningful action," says Dan McNamara, president of USAA Investments.

Instead, you have to know the current tax landscape and what could be coming in 2013 — and you have to understand what each could mean to you. That way, when Congress ultimately takes action — or doesn't — you'll be ready to act.

What to Ask
For a better understanding of how these changes could affect your bottom line, speak with a USAA financial advisor or your tax counselor. Here are some questions to ask:

  • How should I adjust my expenses to account for possible increases in taxes?

  • If the changes go into effect, does it look like I'll get a refund, or will I have to write a check for taxes in April 2014?

  • Have I recognized any taxable capital gains this year?

The Difference Between Your CPA and Financial Planner

Financial Planner vs CPAMany business owners and individuals assume their certified public accountant (CPA) and financial planner have interchangeable roles when, in fact, the two complement each other and can very rarely do the entire job of the other person. This is a matter of education, experience, and certification, but is a topic your Denver Accountant can discuss with a high degree of confidence.

What your accountant can do for you

When most people think of accountants, the first things that may come to mind are Denver Taxes and how to minimize them each year. That is perfectly understandable and to be expected, especially with complicated and regularly changing tax codes at the state and federal levels. From strategizing to budgeting to sheltering and tax preparation, taxes are their main focus.
But your denver teacher also can identify big picture opportunities and strategies that will help you get — and stay — ahead of the competition. Your CPA will help ensure you are depreciating all the right assets in the most productive way. Is your business structure good for you now and in the long run? What about the fine print in the most recent tax regulations, and how do they affect you and your business? Your accountant should have a deep understanding of these issues, and experience with similar situations.

understanding common colorado tax formsThe year is halfway through, and if you haven’t got to grips with your Denver Taxes, what are you waiting for? A Denver Accountant can help you manage your finances, and year-end tax preparation, but nothing helps an individual or business succeed more than understanding common tax forms and how they should be filled out. Here is a brief rundown of these forms.

W-2

This is the most common of all forms. Anyone who draws a paycheck from a regular employer can expect to see one of these. The W-2 is an information return used by your employer to report wages or compensation paid to you during the year. The form reports your employer's basic information (name, address and tax identification number) as well as your own information (similarly, name, address and tax identification number). The form contains several boxes where different information is collected (wages, local, state, and federal income taxes withheld, amount of income subject to Social Security and Medicare, and so forth. Keep in mind that you'll receive multiple copies of your W-2. Copy B gets filed with your federal income tax returns, and Copy 2 with your state or local tax returns. You should always keep Copy C for your own records.
