Here we go again; tax time has officially begun.
If you’re getting a refund, you need to file ASAP. There’s no reason to offer Uncle Sam an interest-free loan.
But before you file those taxes, it will pay — literally — to make sure you get every deduction and credit you’re entitled to. After all, if you’re in the 24% tax bracket, for example, every $ 100 you deduct is $ 24 in your pocket. And every $ 100 credit is worth $ 100.
That’s what we’re going to help you do in this week’s “Money!” podcast. We’re going to help you find ways to legally lower your income tax bill, as well as answer some common questions. For example, do you know if your stimulus payment has to be reported as income? If you didn’t get the stimulus payment you were entitled to, can you claim a credit? Is unemployment taxable?
We’re about to find the answers to these and lots more questions.
As usual, my co-hosts will be financial journalist Miranda Marquit and producer and sound effects guy Aaron Freeman.
Sit back, relax and listen to this week’s “Money!” podcast:
Not familiar with podcasts?
A podcast is basically a radio show you can listen to anytime, either by downloading it to your smartphone or other device, or by listening online.
They’re totally free. They can be any length (ours are typically about a half-hour), feature any number of people and cover any topic you can possibly think of. You can listen at home, in the car, while jogging or, if you’re like me, when riding your bike.
You can listen to our latest podcasts here or download them to your phone from any number of places, including Apple, Spotify, RadioPublic, Stitcher and RSS.
If you haven’t listened to a podcast yet, give it a try, then subscribe to ours. You’ll be glad you did!
