Tax Relief with Timalyn Bowens Should I File as Head of Household? Episode 70: In this episode, Timalyn addresses a tax filing fundamental that is often misconstrued and can lead to unnecessary tax debt and penalties. Head of household is a tax filing status for taxpayers who are unmarried but keep up the expenses of a home for a qualifying dependent. Who Qualifies for Head of Household? 3 requirements must be met for a person to claim head of household status. 1 - They were unmarried for the tax year. This is for taxpayers who have never been married, are legally separated from their spouse, or are divorced. Married taxpayers who did not live with their spouse for the last 6 months of the year are considered unmarried for this filing status. 2 - They paid more than half of the expenses for the home. This includes, but is not limited to, things such as rent, mortgage interest, property taxes, food, utilities, and insurance. 3 - They have a qualifying person who they pay more than half of the expenses for and who lives with them more than half of the year. This can be a qualifying child. This includes children who may not be the biological children of the taxpayer. It can be a foster child, adopted child, or grandchild. If the dependent is not a child, they may still be a qualifying relative. Check out the IRS interactive tool to help you determine which filing status you should use - What is My Filing Status? Can I claim my girlfriend/boyfriend as a dependent on my tax return? No, you can not claim your girlfriend or boyfriend as a dependent on your tax return. Even if they did not work and/or you provided more than half of their support for the tax year. Yes, you meet the test for being single. You also meet the support test. However, the test for them being a qualifying relative is not met. Head of Household vs Single Couples who cohabitate can not both claim head of household status. Even if a professional "allows it" it is not correct. They can not both meet the second requirement, providing more than haf of the support to upkeep the home. One must file as single while the other will file as head of household. Filing as head of household does offer more tax advantages than filing as single. The standard deduction is higher if you are filing as head of household. This means that more of your money is automatically deducted from your taxable income. Example: For the 2025 tax year, single taxpayers have a standard deduction of $15,750. This means their first $15,750 is not taxable. But for head-of-household taxpayers, the standard deduction is $23,625. So even if the two taxpayers make the same amount of money, the one filing as head of household is paying taxes on almost $8,000 less. That's not all. The tax brackets are also more favorable for taxpayers who file as head of household. For the 2025 tax year, head of household filers can have a taxable income up to $64,850, and they'll still be in the 12% tax bracket. For single taxpayers, if they have taxable income, they'll be in the 22% tax bracket. The highest their taxable income can be to stay in the 12% tax bracket is $48,475. Need Tax Help Now?

Tax Relief with Timalyn Bowens Government Shutdown ≠ IRS Shutdown Episode 69:  In this episode, Timalyn deviates from the discussion begun in Episode 64 about the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.  Timalyn addresses the government shutdown and how it affects the IRS and, in turn, all taxpayers.  Today, she's explaining what a government shutdown is, how a government shutdown doesn't give taxpayers in tax debt a get out of jail free card, what to expect from the IRS right now, and how this will likely affect the 2026 filing season. What is a government shutdown? The government shuts down when Congress cannot agree on a budget. It is not that the country does not have money. The money can't be spent to fund government jobs or programs because, for this time period, Congress has not agreed on the amount to allocate to different expenses that the country has.  Some government agencies continue to work but without pay. Essential workers can stay, but others are sent home on furlough.  How does the government shutdown affect the IRS? Keep in mind that the IRS has already lost a significant number of people, taking the number of employees from ~101,000 to ~71,000 since January. This government shutdown has called for another 30,000 - 35,000 employees to be furloughed at the end of the individual and corporate tax extension season.  With fewer employees, the services offered have become very limited. Taxpayers can expect delays in processing returns, payments, refunds, and payment arrangements. Certain audits and exams have come to a halt until after the shutdown.  Although things have come to a halt, the automated systems within the IRS are still working. This means that returns can still be filed. It also means that the automated collection system is still working. Taxpayers who have debts that they cannot pay in full are at risk of being levied if a bank account match is made by the system.  If you are in that position, take care of your situation as soon as possible. Removing a levy right now will be more difficult than it typically is due to fewer staff being available. How will this affect the next tax season? The IRS typically shuts down the e-file system in November to prepare for the next season. It typically does not open again until the end of January, in a normal year. This year, the One Big Beautiful Act was passed as law in July.  There are things in the law that went into effect this tax year, which means they will affect the return that you file in the Spring. The IRS has yet to translate some of the things that Congress has written into law under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. But who can do that if the government is shut down?  A government shutdown doesn't equal a complete IRS shutdown. But with the restrictions they are facing right now, it will feel that way. The IRS also has to update forms and publications so that taxpayers and professionals will know how certain things should be reported on the tax return. With them being out of the office now, that will put them behind on making these updates for next season.  What should you do? If you have tax debt, get it off the back burner. Take care of it as soon as possible. There are different options for you if you need more time or can't afford the proposed monthly payments.  Consider hiring a tax professional whose expertise is in handling back tax situations. If you have to make a call to the IRS, be sure to document the agent's name, badge number, as well as the time and date that you are calling.  When mailing something, be sure to send certified and keep the green receipt.  Plan for delayed processing and service times as well.

Tax Relief with Timalyn Bowens Charitable Contributions Episode 68:  In this episode, Timalyn continues the discussion begun in Episode 64 about the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.   Today, she's explaining the charitable contribution deduction and the changes that have been made to it under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. What is a charitable contribution? Charitable contributions are money or property that are given to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, religious organizations, educational institutions, fraternal organizations, public cemetaries, and certain government organizations. The IRS has a search tool that can be used to look up tax exempt organizations.  Charitable Contributions Deduction The IRS allows taxpayers to receive a deduction for the charitable contributions they give to qualified organizations. This deduction lowers the taxpayer's taxable income. In the past this deduction has been reserved for taxpayer's who itemize deductions. During COVID taxpayers who didn't itemize could receive a partial charitable contribution deduction . The One Big Beautiful Bill Act brings this back with an increased amount. Taxpayers who do not itemize can still deduct up to $1,000 of their charitable contributions ($2,000 if married filing jointly).  For those who do itemize the One Big Beautiful Bill Act introduces a floor to this deduction. Taxpayers can deduct the amount they have given that is over .5% of their adjusted gross income (AGI). Timalyn uses the example of a taxpayer having an AGI of $100,000. .5% of that is $500. That means the taxpayer can deduct the amount they have given to charitable organizations that is over $500. Donation Tax Deduction Limit The amount that can be deducted for charitable contributions is not unlimited. For cash donations it is limited to 60% of the taxpayer's adjusted gross income. So for the taxpayer who has an AGI of $100,000 they cannot deduct more than $60,000 in cash donations for the current tax year.  If the taxpayer has given more than 60% of their AGI in charitable contributions the amount that exceeds the limit rolls over to the next year. This does not apply to those who receive will take the partial charitable contribution deduction.  Deductions given to private foundations and cemetery organizations are limited to 30% of taxpayer's adjusted gross income.  Charitable Contribution Record Keeping Taxpayers are responsible for keeping track of their donations. For any cash donation of $250 or more a contemporaneous statement from the organization is required to substantiate the deduction.  If volunteering the value of the taxpayer's time may not be deducted. However, the mileage they drive with their personal vehicle can be deducted at 14 cents per mile (2025). Also the direct costs associated with volunteering may be deducted. For non-cash donations of at least $500 written acknowledgement from the organization from the charity and Form 8283, Noncash Charitable Contributions is required.  For non-cash donations valued at $5,000 or more a qualified appraiser must do an appraisal of the property, complete section B of Form 8283, and sign it along with someone from the charity.    Need Tax Help Now?
