​Receiving a tax bill or huge refund? 
In some years you may owe the IRS money; in other years you may receive a huge refund. If this happened to you recently, it might be a good time to reassess whether you’re withholding the right amount from your paycheck. For returns filed in 2016, the average federal tax refund was $2,860. Sounds great, right? But instead of giving the government an interest-free loan, you could have been using that money throughout the year.

I can help you determine whether the amount withheld is too low, resulting in tax due (with possible penalties), or too high, resulting in a larger than necessary tax refund. Together, we can fine-tune your withholding to ensure that you get the best result for your situation next year.

As teachers, administrators and aides have launched into their fall semester, taxes may not be on the top of their list. However, knowing what to keep track of now can help reduce the burden at tax time. The Internal Revenue Service reminds educators that there are three key work-related tax benefits that may help them reduce what they pay in taxes.

Educators can take advantage of tax deductions for qualified expenses related to their profession. The costs many educators incur out-of-pocket include items such as classroom supplies, training and travel.


There are two methods educators can choose for deducting qualified expenses: Claiming the Educator Expense Deduction (up to $250) or, for those who itemize their deductions, claiming eligible work-related expenses as a miscellaneous deduction on Schedule A.


A third key benefit enables many teachers and other educators to take advantage of various education tax benefits for their ongoing educational pursuits, especially the Lifetime Learning Credit or, in some instances depending on their circumstances, the American Opportunity Tax Credit.
