It’s probably a safe bet that many individuals will be happy to see the calendar turn from 2020 to the new year. These past nine months have been unlike any other for a majority of Americans as daily routines, social gatherings, and multiple other facets of life have been significantly altered by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
One of the many things Covid-19 altered in 2020 was taxes. Beginning the year much like any other, some individuals started gathering their information in January and those who typically file early made appointments, came into the office, sat down with their accountant, and proceeded to fill out and file a return. However, midway through tax season multiple states had enacted closures, curfews, and eventually the filing and payment deadline were extended back into July - with tax extension filings remaining somewhat on schedule. As the calendar soon flips and you prepare to file taxes in 2021, individuals should consider each of the following tips and changes to get ready.
Filing Date
Tax Day is currently set for Thursday, April 15 in 2021 - the usual filing deadline for extension grants and personal submissions. A return to the normal three-plus months of a first wave for tax season means most people should gather their information and expect to file returns in a timely manner.
Standard Deduction
The Standard Deduction for 2021 has been slightly adjusted in order to account for inflation. For individual filers, the deduction rose $200, while those who are married and file a joint return will enjoy a $400 increase.Â
Tax Rate
The 2021 tax rates remain in place although bracket figures have been slightly changed to account for that same annual inflation. Thirty-seven percent remains the highest bracket, which begins at 10% and has incremental increases forming seven separate brackets.
Stimulus Check
The first, and currently only, round of stimulus checks distributed by the federal government in an effort to combat the effects of the pandemic should not count against your taxes. These $1,200 additions were not viewed as income or a pre-payment on any type of refund you may be due once the 2020 return is complete.Â
