Charitable Giving
If you are deducting more than $500 with respect to one piece of used clothing you donate, you must file Form 8283, Noncash Charitable Contributions, with the IRS. For donated items of used clothing worth more than $500 each, you must attach a qualified appraisal report is to your tax return. The Form 8283 asks you to include information such as the date you acquired the item(s) and how you acquired the item(s) (for example, were the clothes a holiday gift or did you buy the items at the store).
Estate Taxes
IRS Representation
During our years of experience dealing with many taxing authorities, we have achieved a level of competence that can ensure our clients they are being properly represented before the various federal and state tax agencies.
Tax Services
Our significant investment in computerized tax preparation and research software enables us to accurately and efficiently prepare returns for various types of entities including individuals, corporations, partnerships, trusts, estates, and not-for-profit organizations.
Roth IRA
The amount of contributions to be taken into account in determining the credit, however, must be reduced by any distributions from such qualified retirement plans over a "test period." The test period includes the current tax year, two preceding tax years, and the following tax year up to the due date of the return including extensions. A qualifying contribution is also reduced by nontaxable distributions received from Roth IRAs during the testing period (unless you roll them over). The contribution reduction rule even applies to "special" distributions, such as those taken to pay first-time homebuyer expenses or higher education costs.
Real Estate Taxes
Additional standard deduction for real property taxes. If you claim the standard deduction and also have real estate taxes, you can take an increased deduction ($500 for individuals and $1,000 for married couples filing jointly) for your real estate taxes. This tax break is scheduled to expire at the end of 2009.
Tax Deductions
Motor vehicle sales tax deduction. The deduction for sales tax paid on the purchase a new motor vehicle is available for vehicles purchased between February 17, 2009 and December 31, 2009. Taxpayers can deduct state and local sales and use taxes paid on the first $49,500 of the purchase price of the vehicle. The deduction can be taken whether or not the taxpayer itemizes deductions. However, if you deduct state and local general sales taxes as an itemized deduction, you cannot "double dip" and take the deduction for new car sales taxes.
Income Tax
The IRS has announced that more forms can now be amended electronically. This includes filing corrections to the Form 1040-NR, U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return, Forms 1040-SS, U.S. Self-Employ...
Capital Gains Taxes
Under current law, taxpayers in the 10 and 15 percent tax brackets benefit from a zero percent long-term capital gains tax rate in 2009 (through 2010). The zero percent tax rate also applies to qualifying dividends paid to taxpayers in the 10 and 15 percent tax brackets. Taxpayers in higher brackets are subject to a maximum rate of 15 percent on long-term capital gains and qualifying dividends in 2009 (through 2010). However, the rates could go up in light of the current economic crisis. Higher rates may come either in mid-year 2009 or not until 2011. Investors should keep these contingencies in mind in connection with ongoing buy and sell strategies, along with carefully keeping track of any capital loss carryforwards that may be available from recent stock transactions in 2008.

Investment Management
While the past year has not been stellar for most investors, the tax law in many instances can step in to help salvage some of your losses by offsetting both present and future taxable gains and other income. Knowing how net capital gains and losses are computed, and how carryover capital losses may be used to maximum tax advantage, should form an important part of an investor's portfolio management program during these challenging times.
Mutual Funds
This calculator can help you analyze the costs associated with buying shares in a mutual fund. By entering a few pieces of information, found in your fund's prospectus, you can see the impact of fees and operating expenses on your investment.
Bonds

Retirement Planning
Information returns do not have to be furnished until January 31. These include, among others, the 1099 forms for dividends, interest income, royalty income (Form 1099-MISC), stock sales (Form 1099-B), real estate sales (Form 1099-S), state tax refunds (Form 1099-G), and mortgage interest paid (Form 1098), and distributions from pension plans (Form 1099-R). Waiting until you receive all the information and forms necessary to complete your return accurately also lessens your chances of making mistakes, which can call attention to your return by the IRS. The IRS will not process your return until it is accurate.
Annuities
The credit can be claimed for contributions or deferrals made to a number of retirement plans, including: traditional and Roth IRAs (other then rollover contributions), voluntary "after-tax" employee contributions to Section 403(b) annuities and qualified retirement plans, qualified cash or deferred arrangements, including elective contributions made to 401(k) plans, tax sheltered annuities, SIMPLE plans, simplified employee pensions (SEPs), and eligible deferred compensation plans of governmental employers.

College Funding
An often touted way to pay for college is through a state college savings plan (aka Section 529 plans, or qualified tuition plans). Section 529 plans allow you to save money, tax-free, to pay for qualified education expenses for college. Although contributions are not deductible for federal tax purposes, many states allow residents to deduct contributions on their state return. Moreover, distributions from a 529 plan are tax-free unless the amount distributed is greater than the account beneficiary's adjusted qualified education expenses. Qualified education expenses include amounts paid for tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment, as well as reasonable costs of room and board for individuals are at least part-time students.
Mortgage Refinancing
In addition, the IRS is expediting requests for subordination or discharge of tax liens on properties that can otherwise be saved by mortgage refinancing or short sales. Many distressed homeowners overlook this potentially valuable help.
