COMMON TAX QUESTIONS

What is income tax?

Income tax is a government-imposed tax on the earnings of individuals and businesses. It is typically calculated based on the income or profits generated within a specific period. Individuals and businesses are required to report their income and pay a percentage of it as income tax to the government.

What are the states with no income tax?

There are currently seven states in the United States with no income tax on individuals: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.

Does Florida have state income tax?

Florida does not impose a state income tax on individuals. It is one of the seven states in the United States that does not levy a personal income tax.

What is the difference between a CPA and a tax preparer?

A Certified Public Accountant (CPA) is a state board-licensed professional with advanced education and training in all areas of accounting and tax laws. A tax preparer is a non-licensed accountant who prepares and files income tax returns of clients for a fee. Most CPAs must obtain a master’s degree and pass the CPA exam to test their knowledge in accounting, audit, technology and tax.

What will I pay for tax preparation services?

Tax preparation fees vary depending on the complexity of your return, the tax service provider, and the additional services required. As a CPA firm, we charge a minimum of $1,000 for a simple federal income tax return such as 1040 EZ or 1040 A. For more complex income tax returns (such as those with multiple states, investments, small businesses, etc.), we charge a minimum of $7,500. In general, the cost of preparing your personal income tax return will vary depending on the complexity of your situation.

How can I reduce my income taxes?

Tax planning is the key to lowering your tax bill. To reduce your income taxes, explore tax deductions, tax credits, and tax-saving strategies available to you. You can take advantage of tax deductions such as medical, mortgage interest, real estate taxes, and other tax deductions. You should also maximize your tax credits such as the earned income tax credit, child tax credit, dependent tax credit, and other tax credits. And don’t forget your retirement plans like 401(k) plans, traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, defined benefit plans, and other similar plans.

What is the federal income tax rate?

The federal income tax rates in the United States are progressive, which means they increase as income rises. Currently, there are seven federal tax brackets to compute your income tax: 10 percent, 12 percent, 22 percent, 24 percent, 32 percent, 35 percent, and 37 percent. Your federal tax bracket is the rate you pay on the "last dollar" you earn.

Income Tax Calculator

An income tax calculator is a valuable tool that helps you estimate your tax liability, potential refunds, and plan for the upcoming tax season. By inputting your financial information, such as taxable income, your filing status, deductions, and credits, an income tax calculator can provide you with an accurate estimate of how much you may owe or receive as a refund. We recommend the following income tax calculator: https://www.calculator.net/tax-calculator.html
