Important Tax Law Changes for 2010

Taxpayers should make sure they are aware of many important changes to the tax law before they complete their 2010 federal income tax return.

Here are several important changes that the IRS wants you to keep in mind when you file your 2010 federal income tax return in 2011.

Health Insurance Deduction Reduces Self Employment Tax In 2010, eligible self-employed individuals can use the self-employed health insurance deduction to reduce their social security self-employment tax liability in addition to their income tax liability. As in the past, eligible taxpayers claim this deduction on Form 1040 Line 29. But in 2010, eligible taxpayers can also enter this amount on Schedule SE Line 3, thus reducing net earnings from self-employment subject to the 15.3 percent social security self-employment tax.

Due Date for Tax Extension (Form 4868):
Tax extensions are due on April 18 as well. If you attempted to e-file a tax extension on or before April 18 and were rejected by IRS, a grace-period is granted until April 22 in order to correct mistakes.

In addition, IRS will routinely (but is not required to) accept e-filed extensions until April 22 for taxpayers who did not file by April 18.

Due Dates for Taxpayers Living Abroad:
If you are a U.S. Citizen or resident and are out of the country on your tax return due date, you have an additional two months to file. You can use Form 4868 through June 15 to obtain an additional four months to file. In this case, you should mark the “out of the country” box near the bottom of your Form 4868 and mail it in (e-filing of Form 4868 after April 22 is not supported by IRS).

If file your Form 4868 by April 18, you will be granted an extension until October 17 without regard to your qualification as “out of the country”.

Due Date for Tax Extension (Form7004) & (Form 4868):

1120 for Corporation’s – Due by the 15th day of the third month after the end of the corporation’s tax year. For a corporation that uses the calendar year, the due date is March 15th.  Form 7004 is used to request a six month extension to file.  No additional extensions are granted.

1120S for Sub Chapter “S” Corporations – Due by the 15th day of the third month after the end of the corporation’s tax year. For a corporation that uses the calendar year, the due date is March 15th. Form 7004 is used to request a six month extension to file.  No additional extensions are granted.

1065 for Partnerships – due by the 15th day of the 4th month following the close of the tax year.  Most partnership has a year end of December 31, so the extension is due April 15.  However if the partnership has another year end or has ceased operations you must determine the due date. Form 7004 extends the due date six months.

1041 for Fiduciary – due by the 15th day of the 4th month following the close of the tax year. If the tax year end of the Fiduciary is December 31, an extension is due April 15.  If the Fiduciary has a different tax year end, you must determine the due date.  Form 7004 is used to extend estate tax returns.

990 for Non-Profit Organizations – due four months (120 days) after the end of the tax year. If the year end is December 31, the extension is due April 15.  If your non-profit or not-profit year ends on another date you must determine the extension due date.  Form 7004 is used to extend the due date for the 990 form.  If Gross Receipts are less than $25,000.00 per year, no return is required. A Non-Profit Organization MUST meet government guidelines and apply for a Tax-exempt status. Unrelated business income IS taxable and is reported on a 990T. The same extension rules apply. We advise extra caution if you must file a 990T.

709 for Gift taxes – due at the same time as your individual income taxes if gifts exceed $10,000.00 per year per individual. Form 4868 extends the due date to October 15.

Here are six things the IRS wants you to know about self-employment:

  1. Self-employment can include work in addition to your regular full-time business activities, such as part-time work you do at home or in addition to your regular job.
  2. If you are self-employed you generally have to pay Self-employment Tax. Self-employment tax is a social security and Medicare tax primarily for individuals who work for themselves.
