Frequently Asked Questions

What types of income are taxable?

Taxable income includes wages, salaries, tips, interest, dividends, capital gains, rental income, business income, retirement distributions, and unemployment benefits. Some income like gifts and life insurance proceeds are generally not taxable.

How do I reduce my taxable income?

Strategies include contributing to pre-tax retirement accounts (401k, IRA), claiming deductions (standard or itemized), utilizing tax credits, and using health savings accounts (HSA) or flexible spending accounts (FSA).

What if I live in a state with no income tax?

States with no income tax include Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming (New Hampshire taxes only interest and dividends). You still owe federal income tax.

When are income tax returns due?

Federal tax returns are typically due April 15. State deadlines vary but often align with the federal deadline. Extensions can be filed but any taxes owed are still due by the original deadline.
