TAX GUIDE | DEDUCTIONS
Summer Tax Savings Opportunities
Did you know
that some of your
summertime
activities, pursuits
and investments can
result in tax credits
and deductions?
If you volunteered, worked a
summer job or sent your kids
to day camp over the summer,
the IRS allows certain deduc-
tions and credits for all these
common activities. Of course,
if you purchased a home or
got married, these big life
events are also can trigger tax
changes. Here’s a noncompre-
hensive list from the IRS:
Marriage: If you were mar-
ried this summer, you might
miss tax-related notices from
the IRS if you don’t update
your name change to the
Social Security Administration
before April 15.
Summer camp rebates: You
can’t claim overnight camps,
but summer day camps could
count as day care under the
Child and Dependent Care
Credit.
Summer jobs: If you took
on part-time work or a sum-
mer job, your employer is
required to issue you a W-2 —
unless you worked as a free-
lancer or part-time contractor,
then you must report your
own earnings. Knowing your
status — employee or contrac-
tor — can help you at tax time.
ITEMIZING
Because of the larger per-
© ADOBE STOCK
sonal exemption enacted as a
result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act of 2017, many people are
forgoing itemizing. But for cer-
tain filers, itemizing can result
in several deductions, accord-
ing to the IRS. Here’s just a few
for those who itemize:
Homebuyers: New home-
owners buying after Dec. 15,
2017, can only deduct mort-
gage interest they pay on a
total of $750,000, or $375,000 if
married filing separately, in
qualifying debt for a first and
second home. For existing
mortgages if the loan originat-
ed on or before Dec. 15, 2017,
taxpayers continue to deduct
interest on a total of $1 million
in qualifying debt secured by
first and second homes.
Donations: Those long-un-
used items in good condition
found during a summer clean-
ing and donated to a qualified
charity may qualify for a tax
deduction. Taxpayers must
itemize deductions to deduct
charitable contributions and
have proof of all donations.
Volunteering: Driving a per-
sonal vehicle while donating
services on a trip sponsored
by a qualified charity could
qualify for a tax break.
Itemizers can deduct 14 cents
per mile for charitable mileage
driven in 2019.
Summer work: Although
workers may not have earned
enough money from a sum-
mer job to require filing a tax
return, they may still want to
file when tax time comes
around. It is essential to file a
return to get a refund of any
income tax withheld. There is
no penalty for filing a late
return for those receiving
refunds, however, by law, a
return must be filed within
three years to get the refund.
Withholding: Newlyweds,
summertime workers, home-
owners and every taxpayer in
between should take some
time to check their tax with-
holding to make sure they are
paying the right amount of tax
as they earn it throughout the
year. A withholding calculator
on irs.gov helps employees
estimate their income tax,
credits, adjustments and
deductions and determine
whether they need to adjust
their withholding by submit-
ting a new Form W-4,
Employee’s Withholding
Allowance Certificate.
Taxpayers should remember
that, if needed, they should
submit their new W-4 to their
employer, not the IRS.
In addition to these tips,
taxpayers should visit irs.com
for the full schedule of deduc-
tions and credits that may be
available to them.
