If you use your new name on your tax return without giving the SSA a heads up, your tax return will be rejected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Updating your information is as simple as completing an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssa.gov\/forms\/ss-5.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Application for a Social Security Card<\/a> and mailing it in. However, it can take a few weeks for your application to be processed, so do it before the tax season begins.

If you have children and this change also affects the mailing address for your children who filed income tax returns, complete and file a separate Form 8822 for each child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Choose your filing status carefully.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are married by December 31 of the tax year, you are considered married for the full year by the IRS. This means, come tax time, you\u2019ll need to decide your filing status. You can file as married filed jointly, or married filed separately.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In most cases, you will not save money on your tax bill by choosing to file separately. But if you do decide to file separately, keep in mind that certain limitations will apply: you won\u2019t be able to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Child or Dependent Care Credit, you won\u2019t be able to claim education credits, and you can\u2019t deduct student loan interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Review your benefits.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you are married, you may have expanded benefits options through your spouse\u2019s employer. Sit down together to review your benefits and coordinate a plan to get the most tax-advantaged benefits package. For example, you may be able to join your spouse\u2019s medical plan and contribute to a tax-advantaged HSA.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size has-medium-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eztaxreturn.com\/?utm_dest=site&amp;action=start_return&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_term=summertaxtips&amp;gid=summertaxtips\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get Started Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-renting-out-your-home\"><strong>Renting out your home<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to sites like Airbnb, it\u2019s no longer taboo to rent your space to travelers looking to live like the locals. In most cases, it\u2019s a win-win situation. They get a great place to stay, and you get to earn some extra cash. Typically, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/businesses\/small-businesses-self-employed\/tips-on-rental-real-estate-income-deductions-and-recordkeeping\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rental income<\/a> is considered <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.eztaxreturn.com\/blog\/income-taxable-or-non-taxable\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_term=summertaxtips\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">taxable income<\/a>. But if you play your cards right, your earnings may be tax-free.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rules are simple:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You cannot rent out your home for more than 14 days a year.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You must use the property yourself more than 14 days a year or at least 10% of the time you rent it out.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow those guidelines and you\u2019ll walk away scot-free. &nbsp; Regardless of what you plan to do, it\u2019s imperative that you report all rental income on your tax returns and keep good records just in case the IRS comes knocking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-surviving-the-hurricane-season\"><strong>Surviving the hurricane season<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Atlantic hurricane season runs from June through November.&nbsp; If you live in a hurricane-prone area, you already know what kind of expensive damage it can leave behind.&nbsp; The good news is the tax law allows you to claim losses that were due to a federally declared disaster.
