Financial Aid

Happy New Year.

If you are going to be enrolling in higher education be sure to fill out your FAFSA as early as possible.  If you are someone's dependent or if your income goes on someone else's FAFSA do not wait to fill out your financial aid forms.  You can always amend them later.  You want to have your forms in and have the process begin for you as soon as possible.

If you are enrolling at a school for the first time, you should make an appointment with a financial aid officer to see what funds are available and how your expected family contribution (EFC) will effect you.

Further if you have been receiving funds back from the school do not forget to find out how your school distributes its 1099-T forms.

Questions or Comments email me at TaxTalkWithTasha@gmail.com and I will answer you with a post.

Year End

As we close out the year here are a few things you should keep in mind for your up coming individual Income Tax Return.

• Ensure your Human Resources has your up to date address so that you do not have a delay in receiving your W-2. This is especially important for people who work from remote locations.
• Ensure that your name and Social Security Number is accurate with Human Resources, so that they are correct on your W-2.  Very important for those who have had this problem in the past or if this is your first year with this employer. 
• If you have changed employers during 2010 call your previous company's HR department to ensure they have all up to date and accurate information.
• If you are planning to claim an education credit for either you or a dependent, inquire whether the school will mail the 1098-T form or if it is available for download via their online system. 
• If at some point during 2010 you have collected unemployment, wait for your 1099-G before filing your Income Tax Return. 
• If you purchased a home by April 30, 2010 and settled by September 30, 2010 you may be eligible for an up to $8000 credit. First Time Home Buyer Credit

This is not an exhaustive list,  just some things to get the wheels turning and get you prepped for the upcoming tax season.
