Tax season is upon us. Here's what's new for your 2020 return

Whether due to pandemic-related relief, remote work or no work, individuals may find that preparing their 2020 taxes is a bigger challenge than usual. Here are some ways that preparing your tax return could be different this year. If you did not get one or both of the stimulus checks but should have, this also gets reconciled on your tax return. Additionally, taxpayers who itemize on their 2020 return can deduct qualified cash contributions worth up to 100% of their adjusted gross income. While you can spread out those taxes over three years, you will owe something on your 2020 return.

Working from home? Don’t expect a tax break

“Unfortunately, if you are an employee only, that is not something you can deduct,” said Jose Garcia, CPA and owner of Mission Tax and Financial. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminated home office deductions and replaced them with a fatter standard deduction. But some people can write off their home office expenses. Those who are self-employed, independent contractors or working in the gig economy can deduct qualified expenses. “What I suggest is try to negotiate something with your employer and see what options they provide to you,” Garcia said.

How to know if you qualify for a home office tax deduction

ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) – The coronavirus pandemic has forced millions of working Americans out of their offices and into their homes. If you’ve been working from home, you may be wondering if you qualify for a home office tax deduction. So, if your office is 200 square feet that would be $1,000. Certain businesses, such as daycares, may have different qualifications for a home office deduction. These are complicated tax issues so be sure to check with your own tax advisor.
