With the Latest BBB Tax Bill Details including No Tax on Tips, Overtime and Car Interest!What makes this book different?Two Things: It is organized by life event instead of tax topics and it is written in English.88 Chapters and 4 appendixes the majority of which are either absolutely necessary tax knowledge, timely updated information for a specific year or tax law, or a specific life event such as having kids or retiring for which it would be good to know how it affects your taxes, preferably BEFORE you file or make a mistake. Each chapter is organized in the best way possible to make it easy to understand, and, most importantly, easy to apply to your personal situation. Most chapters have a section on what you NEED to know, a section with nitty-gritty details, a section of the author's personal best advice and often some specifics for the military. If this system doesn't work for a chapter, a different system is used.Here is a sample list of chapters:Read Me FirstDo I Have to File a Tax Return?How Should I Be Preparing my Taxes?How Much Should Tax Preparation Cost?10 Simple Pieces of Tax AdviceCommon Tax MythsHow Fast Can I Get my Refund?Where's my Refund?I Owe Taxes and Can't PayI Owe Taxes and Want to Get a RefundI Get a Big Refund and Want a Bigger PaycheckI Get a Big Refund, Is That Okay?I Get a Big Refund and Don't Know What to Do with ItI Want to Lower my TaxesI Can't File by April 15thWhat is My Filing Status?The Long Sordid Tax Forms TaleCan I Use Itemized Deductions?I am Getting MarriedI am Having a ChildMy Kid's Getting a JobMy Child Had a ChildMy Child is Getting MarriedI am Getting Divorced (or already am)My Spouse Abandoned me and our ChildrenMy Spouse DiedI Inherited Money or PropertyI am Buying a HomeI Made Energy Efficient Home ImprovementsI am Buying a CarI Have to File Married Filing SeparatelyI Have Medical ExpensesI Have a High Deductible Health Plan and/or HSAI am Donating to CharityI am Living with Someone Who Helps Pay my BillsI am Supporting my ParentsI am Supporting an Adult Relative or FriendI am Supporting a Minor Who is Not My ChildSomeone Claimed my Child!My Tax Return Got Rejected by the IRS!I (or my Child) am Going to CollegeI Have Job ExpensesI Tele-CommuteI Work OverseasI Lost my JobI Had to MoveI Sold my HomeI Sold my Rental PropertyI Sold a Home that Wasn't my Primary ResidenceI Get Tips at WorkI Get Paid OvertimeI Have Investments Outside of WorkA Quick Discussion of CryptocurrencyI Have Tax Sheltered InvestmentsI Want to Take Money out of my IRA or 401kI Had Debt Written OffI Lost my House (Foreclosure)I am Turning 65I am Retired (or retiring)I am Retiring from the MilitaryI am Receiving Social Security (or Thinking about It)I am Receiving an Annuity or PensionI am Paying on Student LoansI am Changing JobsWhat the Hell is Alternative Minimum Tax?I Sell Amway, Mary Kay, etc.I’m an Independent Contractor or I Got a Form 1099-NECI Drive for UBER (or Lyft etc)I am a Real Estate AgentI am an ArtistI am Renting out my Former HomeWhat about Obamacare?I Get Health Insurance Through the MarketplaceI Do Not Have Health InsuranceState by State Tax Guide for MilitaryThe IRS Called and is Threatening Me!I Got a Letter from the IRSIRS Letter TypesI Got a CP2000 Letter from the IRS!I Got This Tax FormDo I Get the 20% Business Deduction?What About the Big Beautiful Bill?Appendix A – Support WorksheetAppendix B - Insolvency WorksheetAppendix C - Sample IRS Response LetterAppendix D - Fixing DFAS Witholding
