Razones para que las personas presenten declaración de impuestos de 2019

Consejos Tributarios del IRS 13 de enero de 2020

Consejo Tributario del IRS 2020-01SP En Esta Edición Razones para que las personas presenten declaración de impuestos de 2019 Aunque muchas personas tienen el requisito de presentar una declaración de impuestos, es buena idea que todos determinen si deben hacerlo. Algunas personas con bajos ingresos no están obligadas a presentar una declaración, pero deberán hacerlo si pueden recibir un reembolso de impuestos. Aquí hay cinco consejos para los contribuyentes que deciden si deben presentar una declaración de impuestos: Averigüe las razones generales para presentar En la mayoría de los casos, los ingresos, el estado civil tributario y la edad determinan si el contribuyente debe presentar una declaración de impuestos. Pueden aplicarse otras normas si el contribuyente trabaja por cuenta propia o puede considerarse dependiente de otra persona. Hay otras razones por las que un contribuyente debe presentar. El Asistente Interactivo de Impuestos (en inglés) puede ayudar a alguien a determinar si necesita presentar una declaración. Mire los impuestos retenidos o pagados Aquí hay algunas preguntas para que los contribuyentes se hagan: ¿El empleador del contribuyente retuvo el impuesto federal de su paga? ¿El contribuyente hizo pagos estimados de impuestos? ¿Pagaron en exceso el año pasado y lo aplicaron al impuesto de este año? Si la respuesta es "sí" a cualquiera de estas preguntas, podría recibir un reembolso. Debe presentar una declaración de impuestos para obtener su dinero. Verifique si pueden reclamar el Crédito Tributario por Ingreso del Trabajo (EITC) Un contribuyente trabajador que ganó menos de $55,592 el año pasado podría recibir el EITC como reembolso de impuestos. Debe calificar y puede hacerlo con o sin hijo calificado. Puede verificar la elegibilidad a través del Asistente EITC de 2019 en IRS.gov. Los contribuyentes deben presentar una declaración de impuestos para reclamar el EITC. Crédito Tributario por Hijos o Crédito por Otros Dependientes Los contribuyentes pueden reclamar el Crédito Tributario por Hijos si tienen un hijo calificado menor de 17 años y cumplen con otros requisitos. Otros contribuyentes pueden ser elegibles para el Crédito por Otros Dependientes. Esto incluye personas que tienen: Hijos dependientes que tienen 17 años o más a fines de 2019 Padres u otras personas calificadas a quienes matienen La herramienta de beneficios tributarios relacionados con los hijos (en inglés) puede ayudar a las personas a determinar si califican para estos dos créditos. Créditos de educación Hay dos créditos de educación superior que reducen la cantidad de impuestos que alguien adeuda en su declaración de impuestos. Uno es el Crédito Tributario de Oportunidad Americana (en inglés) y el otro es el Crédito de Aprendizaje Vitalicio (en inglés). El contribuyente, su cónyuge o su dependiente debe haber sido un estudiante matriculado al menos medio tiempo durante un período académico para calificar. El contribuyente puede calificar para uno de estos créditos incluso si no adeuda impuestos. Use el Formulario 8863, Créditos educativos (en inglés), para reclamar el crédito al presentar la declaración de impuestos.             Gracias por suscribirse a Consejos Tributarios en Español del IRS, un servicio de correo electrónico del IRS. Para obtener más información sobre los impuestos federales, por favor visite la página de internet IRS.gov.

How to Count College Students in 2020 Census

College towns depend on accurate count of students living in area

America Counts: Stories Behind the Numbers  In Student Housing, Off Campus or With Parents, College Students Count in 2020 Census A freshman living on campus in student housing. A junior varsity athlete sharing an off-campus house with teammates. A senior living solo in an off-campus apartment. Even though many residents of a typical American college town might move away after they graduate, they have to be counted while they live there.  College towns across the country depend on students’ responses to the census. The reason: Census results help determine how much federal funding communities will receive over the next 10 years. “Young college students may be going off on their own for the first time, and when they see a postcard or a census worker and are asked to take the census, they may not understand that they’re supposed to take it where they’re living.”  — Evan Curtis, state planning coordinator and co-chair of the Utah Complete Count Committee Read More A complete and accurate count in 2020 is so important that the U.S. Census Bureau is hiring an estimated 500,000 temporary employees to ensure everyone is counted. “I have the recruiting staff go to the student unions at least once a week (if the schools allow them to) and set up a recruiting table,’’ said Marquette Youngblood, recruiting coordinator in the Dallas Regional Census Center.
