Producer host Julia Dudley Najieb features experts from the IRS giving the latest changes for tax filings, how to file if one received unemployment insurance, tax breaks and tax advancements.
Struggling to meet the April 15 tax filing deadline? Then take note of the IRS's new tax filing deadline of May 17 for individuals, the self-employed and for those who do not owe the IRS for past due tax payments.
In this episode of News Too Real, producer host, Julia Dudley Najieb addresses the recent changes for those filing their 2020 taxes; not only has the tax-deadline been extended, but the American Rescue Plan has instilled new provisions regarding the Earned Income Tax Credit where people can take out advanced payments for 2021 tax filing of Earned Income Tax Credit.
Also, people who have taken out unemployment insurance, IRA/ROTH IRA or early retirement have some leeway, safeguards and revisions with use of the "hardship" waiver, if qualified.
Unfortunately, many scammers are using different web URLs with the name "IRS," or calling people to threaten payment on behalf of the IRS; this topic is addressed due to its extreme frequency. The IRS would like everyone to know that they will never pick up the phone and call anyone about a past due tax payment, nor will they call authorities on you if you do not make the payments on time; they will send reminder through the US mail.
Finally, find out what to do if your tax information has been compromised, which may be the case for those victimized by the unemployment insurance fraud or other related tax-fraud issues.
