Almost time to file tax returns again.
Isn�t that an exciting thought? Not!
IS FORM �1040-EZ� FOR YOU?
Probably not. The IRS is making a
big deal out of being able to use
1040-EZ for any taxpayer who
makes less than $57,000, which,
they say, is 70 percent of all
taxpayers.
But what they are �forgetting� to
tell you or remind you is that you
cannot attach anything to an EZ-
such as a Schedule C (to get tax
deductions for home-business
expenses) or a Form 8829 (to
get benefits of a home-office).
If you have an active home-based
business, you do NOT want to use
Form 1040-EZ to file your taxes.
WHEN AND HOW TO FILE
YOUR 2012 TAX RETURNS
As of a couple days ago, the IRS
says it is now ready to accept tax
returns for 2012. (The delay was
due to tax law changes enacted
by Congress on Jan 6th � which
caused changes to some tax
forms and some computer re-
programming.
I always recommend that any
taxpayer with an active home
based business, have a tax
professional prepare your tax
returns for you. But make sure
he or she has specific expertise
in Home-Business Tax Law.
(Most tax pros do not!)
I teach a Certification Course in
Home-Business Tax Law to tax
professionals. Those who have
been Certified and that I
recommend are listed on my
