Is a W-2 required to file my tax return, or can I use my final pay stub?
You must have a valid Form W-2 in order to complete and file your income tax return. Your employer(s) must issue your W-2s by January 31. If you do not receive your W-2 mid-February, then contact your employer for more information.
Who can I claim as a dependent?
To claim a dependent, you must not be able to be claimed as a dependent by any other taxpayer. In addition, you generally cannot claim an exemption on a dependent who is married if they file a joint return. You cannot claim a person as a dependent unless that person is a U.S. citizen, a U.S. resident, U.S. national, or a resident of Canada or Mexico, for some part of the year. To be a dependent, the person must be your qualifying child or qualifying relative.
Is there an age limit on claiming my children as dependents?
Age is a factor in the qualifying child test, but a qualifying relative can be any age. As long as the following dependency exemption tests are met, you may claim him or her:
– Qualifying child or qualifying relative test
– Dependent taxpayer test
– Citizenship or resident test
– Joint return test
I need to change my withholding. How do I update my personal information?
Use Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate. If you get married or divorced, if a child is born, or if you no longer can claim a child as your dependent, you will need to complete a new Form W-4. When you begin to work at a new company, your employer must give you a Form W-4 to complete. You can also request a Form W-4 from your employer at any time to reflect a change in your tax situation.
If I claim my daughter as a dependent because she is a full-time college student, can she claim herself as a dependent when she files her return?
If you claim your daughter as a dependent on your income tax return, she cannot claim herself on her income tax return. If an individual is filing his or her own tax return, and the individual can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return, the individual cannot claim his or her own personal exemption.
How do I get my W-2 Forms?
Your employer should mail your Form W-2 to you by January 31. However, you may be able to download your W-2s even before you receive them in the mail. If ADP, TALX or CIC Plus issue W-2s for your employer, then ask your Coyne Tax preparer if you can make use of the W-2 download program.
