HOW DOES THE PROCESS OF TAX INCOME WORKS?

The most confusing part of taxation is to understand how the process works and what factors can affect how much you’ll end up paying or receiving back. 

The system used in the U.S is the progressive income tax, which means that the more money you earn, the more taxes you pay. Usually, most part of the employees are subject to having their tax deducted from the paycheck and sent to the IRS, and, if this is your case, at the end of the return, if you paid too much, you’ll receive a tax refund and if the payments were not enough to cover the total income tax due, you’ll have to pay the rest. Always seek help of a professional cpa for individual tax return preparation in order to phase out the mistakes or errors.

When filing the tax return, always remember to indicate all sources of income received during the year, the deductions (home mortgage interest, state and local tax and charitable contributions) and tax credits.
