Question: Is there a failure to file tax penalty if no tax is due?

If a person makes x dollars, and has the same amount in legitimate deductions, and x > standard deduction+personal exemption, and the person does not file a tax return, I assume the IRS will request a statement showing the deductions. But, assuming all the deductions are legitimate, are there any failure to file penalties (or other penalties) for this person?

Answer: Maybe. It’s not whether you owe MORE taxes because too little was withheld. You MUST file if your income exceeds certain thresholds, thereby creating a tax liability. If your income is low enough, you don’t have to file.

IRS TIP: Standard Deduction for non Itemizers

It looks like the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit may be sticking around a little longer than originally planned. There are still a few questions regarding amendments requested by the Senate Republicans, but if all can be smoothed over, the credit will be extended until April 30.

Introduced last February as a means of kickstarting the sluggish housing market, over 1.2 million borrowers have claimed $8.5 billion out of the original $13.6 billion allocated for the credit. Did the tax credit do what it was intended to do? Depending on which economist you speak to, an estimated 150,000 to 400,000 home sales were the direct result of the Home Buyer Tax Credit.

According to the latest proposed bill, the revised tax credit will contain new and improved features to reach a larger cross section of potential home buyers as well as extend the deadline to encourage more potential buyers.

Some of the features of the new Home Buyers Tax Credit include:

Deadline for current credit: Home buyers must close the deal on a home purchased in 2009 by November 30/09. As long as they live in the home for at least three years, the credit is not repayable.

Deadline for new & improved credit: Home buyers must purchase a new home by April 30, 2010, but as long as they were under contract by this date, would have up to 60 days to close the deal.

Eligibility and amount of current credit: First time home buyers are eligible for up to $8,000 in the form of a non-repayable tax credit. When claimed on a tax return, it reduces the amount of tax payable and results in a refund for the balance.

Eligibility and amount of new & improved credit: Same as above, however there is a new component that allows an additional $6,500 credit for those who have lived in their homes for five of the last eight years – thus not restricting the benefit to first time home buyers.

Those buyers with incomes exceeding $125,000 for singles and $225,000 for married couples are not eligible. Homes valued at more than $800,000 are also ineligible.

Fraud protection: As with any new legislation, there are those who attempt to take advantage or exploit. Thousands of false claims were received from children and teenagers. In the new and improved credit, applicants must be 18 years of age or over to apply.

Whether these new changes will make a difference in the housing market is up for debate. Some feel that offering it up to those who already own homes, isn’t really doing anything to reduce inventory since they will only be selling one home to buy another. However, it may encourage the fence sitters to take the initiative and invest.

According to Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Economy.com, he is much more optimistic and believes, “The tax credit is not a very efficient tax cut, but not extending it would do significant damage to the still fragile housing market.”

Many in the real estate industry believe that extending the tax credit will help to sustain any momentum gained in home sales and carry it over into the critical spring buying season.

Question: Is the deduction per child on tax return influenced by salary?

Answer: I’m sorry to disagree with my friends and colleagues on this site, but YES, the exemption amounts (the amount “per person” on the tax return) can indeed be reduced if you make ‘too much’.

Certain higher-income taxpayers are subject to a phaseout of their total exemptions. The total exemption amount is reduced by 2% for each $2,500 ($1,250 if married filing separately), or part thereof, that the taxpayer’s AGI exceeds the following amounts:
Single $150,500
Married filing jointly or qualifying widow(er) 225,750
Married filing separately 112,875
Head of household 188,150

These limitations apply to the taxpayer’s ‘total exemptions’, so it is indeed possible for the ‘deduction per child’ to be influenced by salary – you just have to make more than more of us
Blessings!
