The average American tax filer spends more than $200 on tax prep each year, often through tax softwares like TurboTax, H&R Block or TaxSlayer. But the IRS has been piloting a free filing system, Direct File, and it’s now available to people in 25 states. Plus, consumers are more downbeat on the economy, and the Trump administration is offering a sort of buyout package to federal workers.

On today's episode of the podcast I'm diving into tax preparation and what comes with hiring a tax pro. Don't forget, Thursday, February 23, I'll be hosting a launch party for my law firm at 9am PST/12pm EST. We'll be sharing client horror stories and legal pickles you've experienced and we'll dive into examples of how working with an attorney can help. Just in the past few weeks I've drafted some new program terms for a client who's had issues with people sharing program content and leaving the program early. I've also worked on a demand letter for a client whose invoice is 6 months overdue. It happens to all of us and during this launch party I'll be sharing how the law firm can help. Register to join the launch party at https://www.bradendrake.com/launchparty When it comes to hiring a tax professional, you get what you pay for. And often, you pay for a lot that you don't get too. When it comes to actually filing your income tax, federal and state income taxes are due every April 15th (unless it falls on a weekend and is then the following Monday) but we also have our business tax returns. If you have an S Corporation, a partnership, or a corporation, then you have to file a business return by March 15th. If you have to file an 1120-S form for your S Corp or an 1165 for your partnership, you want to be reaching out to your tax professional like now. Sales tax returns are a whole different situation and we won't get into that one now. When it comes to filing federal income tax returns, you have a few ways you can do it. 1. You could technically do it for free by finding all the tax forms you need on the internet, printing them, filling them out and mailing them. I don't think many people are still doing this because nowadays taxes are just too complicated. I equate them to Russian nesting dolls because you fill out one form then it tells you you need another form which leads to the next one and it becomes a very large stack of forms. 2. Use a DIY software as your “inexpensive option.” You're probably getting a lot of ads for these now that it's tax season for services like Turbo Tax. All of these are for 1040s only and simple 1040s which essentially means that all you have is a W2 probably and your return is super simple. By the mere fact that you have a business and are going to need to do at a minimum a Schedule C, this means there isn't a software out there that is going to be free. Your options become H&R Block Online which is comparable to Turbo Tax. You also have Tax Act, TaxSlayer and others. I've price compared most of these and for Schedule C tax returns, they typically end up being $100 - $200. I personally use H&R Block every year and it usually comes to about $150-$160. The way they kind of get you and you start to think the $70 one is all you need but then you start answering the questions and are then prompted to upgrade based on additional forms you need. 3. Pay someone at a branch like H&R Block or pay a program like Turbo Tax to do your tax return. This typically runs $300 - $500. I would say that this is probably fine if you have your business, your bookkeeping is pretty done, your taxes aren't that complicated, and you really just don't want to do it on your own with the software. If you go to a more traditional accounting firm, one that's not a huge corporation, they may start around the top end of H&R Block. Most of them that are qualified and know what they're doing will start in the $500 for a Schedule C and go up to around $2,000. The standard seems to be around $1,000 - $1,500. If someone is telling you they can do your business return for under $500, I'd probably run the other direction. At most places, the $500 - $1,000 range gets you minimal contact with your tax preparer during the process. If they have savvy systems set up they'll have you answer some online forms to get your personal information, they'll collect all your tax documents (often dropped off in-person), then they'll complete your tax return and maybe (keyword maybe) do a quick call with you to review the return when you're done before you sign it but I hear often that people feel pressured to hurry up and sign because preparers don't have a lot of time to review because they want to get on to the next client. When you get to the $1,500 mark with your tax return, you should be getting all those things I mentioned plus more time, care and attention and I would hope some ongoing tax strategy throughout the year. This is where the title, You Get What You Pay For, comes from. If you email your tax preparer with strategy questions throughout the year but don't really get answers, it may be because you aren't paying for tax strategy as part of your tax return. I find that the tax strategy piece really comes into play when you're over $200,000 in revenue. Most folks paying over the $2,000 mark for their tax filing tend to be paying in the $5,000 to $10,000 range for a suite of tax services which may or may not include bookkeeping. Bookkeeping service costs vary. The $100/month range is kind of a yikes for me. The popular bookkeeping software Bench used to charge $150 for a very stripped down service and now charge double that. More seasoned bookkeepers will start at $300 and up per month. My viewpoint is that if you're not ready to spend at least that much on your bookkeeping, you're probably better off doing it on your own or with one of our resources. Here's what our process looks like: Do-It-Yourself with my $30 tools - the Bookkeeping Blueprint and the Tax Toolbox Done-With-You services and support are available inside Profit Rx Done-For-You bookkeeping - We offer this for just $400/month and which gets you detailed books, a monthly meeting with me to review your books, and that tax strategy I was talking about This year, we're also rolling out tax prep starting at $750 which includes a 30 minute wrap-up call to review your taxes and we're offering half day and full day one-on-one Tax in a Day services. If you're interested in learning about these one-on-one services, be sure to sign up for our launch party happening on February 23rd at 9am PST to learn how you can get first dibs on our one-on-one tax services.

Wednesday November 23, 2022 – There is some disturbing news about your most private data – your tax data. It appears that some of the top tax preparation software companies have been sharing taxpayer data with Big Tech Companies. Major tax filing services such as H&R Block, TaxAct, and TaxSlayer have been sharing date secretly with companies like Facebook and Google. Not only would this be a gross violation of their customers' trust – it could be a violation of the law. The companies involved here are claiming this was all inadvertent. “We did NOT know and were never notified that personal tax information was being collected by Facebook from the Pixel,” said a vendor of TaxSlayer. It can be unsettling to learn these large organizations are working together to violate taxpayers' privacy rights. Attorney Steven A. Leahy exposes these practices on Today's Tax Talk. https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/22/23471842/facebook-hr-block-taxact-taxslayer-info-sharing https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/22/popular-tax-prep-software-sent-financial-information-to-meta-report.html --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/steven-leahy1/message

Call the organization that serves your area. If you or a friend has access to a computer: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/find-a-location-for-free-tax-prep Families in the U.S. and territories qualify for the newly expanded CTC. Joint filers making up to $150,000, single head of households making up to $112,500, and other single filers making up to $75,000 qualify for the full advanced periodic payment of the CTC. In a very positive change from the current law, the expansion of the Child Tax Credit in the American Rescue Plan means that you do not have to be employed to receive the benefit; even families who have no income at all will be eligible.If you are unmarried and earn less than $112,500 per year or are married and your household income is less than $150,000 per year, you will receive $3,600 per child under six years old and $3,000 per child age six to 17. Estimates project that families will receive about $300 per child for children under six, and $250 per child between ages six and 17, for each periodic payment.So, for example, if you have one child, aged seven, you will receive $3,000 over the course of a year, or $250 per month.The cash benefit begins to reduce by $50 for every additional $1,000 of income earned. Higher-income families who previously qualified are still eligible for the $2,000 per child benefit for individuals making up to $200,000 and joint filers making up to $400,000. Meaning, they will not receive less than what they previously did under current law.Tax Changes that are proposed for the current congress:The top individual federal income tax rate would rise from 37% to the pre-Trump rate of 39.6%.The corporate rate would rise from 21% to 28%; a 15% alternative minimum tax would apply to corporate book income of $100 million and higher.Individuals earning $400,000 or more would pay additional payroll taxes.The maximum Child and Dependent Tax Credit would rise from $3,000 to $8,000 ($16,000 for more than one dependent).Tax relief would be offered for student debt forgiveness and the first-time homebuyers’ credit would be restored.The estate tax exemption would drop by about 50%.File your taxes for free: https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-freeIncome $72,000 and below:Free federal tax filing on an IRS partner siteState tax filing (free with some offers)Guided preparation – simply answer questionsOnline service does all the mathIncome above $72,000:Free electronic forms you fill out and file yourselfNo state tax filingYou should know how to prepare paper forms Basic calculations with limited guidance The most popular software makers are Turbo Tax, H&R Block, TaxAct and TaxSlayer.

January is Financial Wellness Month, Get Organized Month, and Tax Identity Theft Week - January 27 - February 2, 2020Internal Revenue Service announced last week that the official opening day of the 2020 tax season for individuals will be Jan. 27Reasons to file tax returns as soon as possible:Avoid tax identity theft: Tax Identity Theft Week - January 27 - February 2, 2020. This fraud is particularly worrisome because the legitimate taxpayer may have no way of knowing that fraud has been committed. The scam only works for returns that haven't been filed by legitimate consumers, so fraudsters are highly motivated to file as early as possible.Ways to prevent Tax Identity Theft:File earlyReview your credit reports for suspicious activityProtect your personal information – don’t provide a Social Security number at businesses; ask if another form of ID is acceptableCheck your Social Security earnings statement to see if anyone is using your numberInstall antivirus software on your computersChange your passwords on online accounts regularlyMore reasons to file early:Get your refund faster: If you e-file and direct deposit – you could receive your refund in 1 to 3 weeks.Paper file, direct deposit – 3 weeksE-file, paper check – one monthPaper file, paper check – 2 monthsIf you claimed either the earned income tax credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit, law requires the IRS to hold these returns’ refunds until February 15.Extra time to pay your taxes: You have until April 15 to pay your tax bill. If you know you owe you’ll have more time to save up.Get filing responsibility out of the way. According to a recent TaxSlayer survey, a majority of taxpayers (52%) are stressed over filing their taxes. Any time you face an unpleasant task, it’s best to get it out of the way as soon as possible. Early filers face less competition for access to their tax professional. Some tax pros will charge more to complete your taxes as the filing deadline approaches. How you can get your taxes filed electronically for free?the IRS announced it has signed a new agreement with companies that electronically prepare free returns for eligible taxpayersThis year, taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes of $69,000 or less can use free commercial software by going to IRS.gov/freefile. Free File opened Jan. 10, although taxpayers won’t actually be able to file their returns until the start of the tax season – January 27th.Before settling on one company, check to see if you can also file your state return. Some companies will prepare your state return and e-file it free through partnerships with participating state programs.

The start of tax filing season is right around the corner. You might have already received some of your tax paperwork in the mail. And you're probably thinking about which tax software option is the best for you? Well, we've been reviewing all the major options this season, including TurboTax, H&R Block, TaxAct, TaxSlayer, Credit Karma Tax, and more. Because of all the options, there is no "one-size-fits-all" for the best tax software. It all depends on what you have to file on your taxes.  We're breaking down the categories for each "type" of filer and which software makes the most sense for your situation. There's nothing worse than spending 30 minutes thinking your taxes will be free, only to find out you need to upgrade to file! If there's something you think we've missed, or don't quite know which is best for you, let us know in the comments! We've seen them all, so we'll try to point you in the right direction.

Chris also shares what not to do when interviewing for a role, and why the Chief Digital Officer title might be dwindling down even further in the future.   Takeaways: [2:50] Chris talks about an interview with Neiman Marcus where it may have just been a ploy to get him head-to-toe in their clothing. He didn’t get the job, but at least he looked great. [11:08] The Chief Digital Officer is a nebulous title, but they do have the decision making power on how to structure the tech stack and optimize campaigns. Chris does see the title declining in popularity and if you have a Digital CMO who works with a CIO, that may be a better model. [16:03] Just a few of the responsibilities of a Chief Digital Officer can include getting analytics in place, testing multiple websites and building out CMS. [17:01] Even if the management is looking to change the structure and grow, there may be senior leadership that is averse to doing things differently. [19:31] Chris spent the first three to six months of his job understanding the emotional play of his customers and how he may better get to know how his company is truly perceived by active users. [24:56] Just picking up the phone and talking with a customer may seem like it’s gone out of style, but it’s an easy way to get to the bottom of a situation and determine whether or not it’s really an issue. [42:06] Chris is a fan of using affiliates, but you have to make sure you can control the message and that they are representing your brand correctly. [51:42] If you put “guru” or “rockstar” on your resume or LinkedIn, be ready for some extreme rapid-fire questioning on your interview.   Quotes: ● “You can’t be a good CMO now without being a good Chief Digital Officer.” ● “I’ve always tried to keep the business world and political world as far apart as possible.” ● “If you say you are an analytics guru, watch out.” ● “Please, no more pictures of you onstage speaking using a Britney Spears mic.” Mentioned in This Episode: Chris Moloney LinkedIn TaxSlayer John Oliver on Public Shaming @jordanbpeterson Biz Rate Chris Moloney

In this episode of “Marketing Today,” Alan speaks with Chris Moloney, chief marketing officer at TaxSlayer. Prior to joining TaxSlayer, Moloney served as CMO at CAN Capital and CEO at Gremlin Social, and he has held key roles at brands like Wells Fargo Advisors, Scottrade, and Experian. In this wide-ranging conversation, Moloney shares, among other things, how the original Apple Macintosh computer inspired a sensibility that led to his career in marketing and how the combination of his personal and business lives make him a more effective marketer. He also talks about how challenger brands can thrive in competition with more established rivals. “If you are a challenger brand,” says Moloney, “take advantage of the fact that bigger companies sometimes move a lot slower and have more bureaucracy, and it takes them a while to make decisions. If you can be nimbler and faster, you can take advantage of market trends much more quickly.” Let Your Voice Be Heard “Marketing Today” has a new Q&A feature!

Before you panic Yes, it is best to be concerned about your data. Between all of our smart devices and services that connect our data over the web. It seems like it is only a matter of time before we have our identity stolen. However, panic is never a plan. We need to understand how the latest breach effects us and what we need to do to protect ourselves better. My biggest concern with the Equifax Breach  Equifax is one of the three credit reporting agencies in the United States. This breach exposes the name, address, birthday, and Social Security number of 143 million people. 209 thousand people had their credit card information lost. And 182 thousand lost documents by Equifax according to www.equifaxsecurity2017.com. The first thing you need to do is go to www.equifaxsecurity2017.com and see if you or your children have been affected. What to do now? Chances are you or someone in your family have been exposed.  Here are the quick steps you need to do if you are part of the 143 million. Ways to protect yourself Check your credit reports for free on www.annualcreditreport.com Place a Fraud Alert or credit freeze on Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion File your tax return ASAP Signup for a service like Credit Karma The market leader is LifeLock Or what we use ID Shield which is like LifeLock with extra SSN protection Or better yet higher a service that will help resolve problems if you are compromised Protect your passwords and track all the sites you have bad or duplicate passwords with LastPass. Always use VPNs when you are not in a secured network. Try NordVPN 24 other reasons to protect yourself Since 2016 there have been 25 major data breaches with at least 900 Million records lost. And out of those numbers, there have been many companies who do not know or did not state how many records have been lost. There could have also been other breaches that have not been publicly released. In these days of an interconnected world, you should consider the best ways to protect yourself and assume that at some point you or a family member will have their identity stolen. Please consider a service like Identity Shield as a way to protect yourself.

How to Stop Cyber Criminals from Getting Your Tax Refund Aaron Hanson, Senior Regional Manager, Norton This episode is brought to you by Audible! Sign up for a free 30 day trial at http://www.audibletrial.com/blc  HR Outsourcing and Consulting by Jumpstart:HR, LLC Learn more at http://www.jumpstart-hr.com Show Details: As Benjamin Franklin famously said, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” It makes sense, then, that cybercriminals would find a way to take advantage of tax season. Joining us to share the latest tax season scams and tips to avoid falling victim to cyber crimes is Aaron Hanson, Senior Regional Manager for Norton by Symantec. The Facts Behind Cybercrime at Tax Time: Last year more than 91 percent of American tax returns were filed online according to the IRS. As more consumers opt to file their taxes online, an increased amount of sensitive information is at risk. Norton by Symantec, a leader in consumer security, identified a surge in online threats during tax season. In fact, last year, TurboTax temporarily suspended services due to a rise in fraudulent claims filed with stolen information, and 2016 has already kicked off with a slew of new tax season threats. In January, TaxSlayer notified thousands of customers of a potential data breach, and the IRS has also disclosed an attempted scam. Online criminals now have access to a vast amount of sensitive, personal information and Americans should understand how to keep their data safe. This tax season, it’s critical that consumers are vigilant of scammers and stay educated on ways to protect themselves online. For More Information Visit: Norton.com About Aaron Hanson: Aaron Hanson, Senior Regional Manager at Norton, leads the Americas team responsible for bringing consumer security products to market.  For the past seven years with Norton by Symantec, Aaron has served consumers and small businesses in delivering products and solutions to help them protect their digital information, so they can go online with confidence. Aaron is passionate about cybersecurity and his role in ensuring customers are protected from online threats.
