Escrow Accounts
You can’t go wrong with a CPA for escrow accounting. An escrow account is where money is held by a party but does not belong to the party. But funds in an escrow account should not be commingled. And they should always be held separately from the funds of the person or entity that is holding the funds. And they may be used to preserve the funds for the event of a bankruptcy of the person or company holding the funds. Again, the funds in an escrow account do not belong to the person holding them. Therefore, the funds should not be used to settle the debts of the individual’s or company’s own creditors.
Attorneys, mortgage lenders, real estate companies or escrow companies may setup Escrow accounts. But they may also be setup by software engineers, accounting firms, independent agents. Also, there a various other professional business entities that may setup these accounts. But, mismanagement of the funds or negligence handling these funds may result in licensing and/or legal consequences.
Most people are familiar with a common example of an escrow account. I am referring to the money held by your mortgage company. And these funds are used to pay your yearly property taxes and insurance premiums. And generally, your monthly payment includes these taxes. Also, the tax amount is adjusted on a regular basis as your taxes and insurance increase.
Tax & Retirement Services
Tax services that often go neglected are those of professional tax planners. You may be eligible for the Saver’s Credit if you contribute to a retirement plan, like a 401(k) or an IRA. The Saver’s Credit is the short name for the Retirement Savings Contribution Credit. And it can be worth up to $2,000 for married couples filing a joint return. The credit is worth up to $1,000 for single taxpayers.
The Saver’s Credit can help you save for retirement and reduce the tax you owe. However, there are the facts from the IRS that you should know about this credit. First, the Saver’s Credit is in addition to other tax savings you can get if you set aside money for retirement. For example, you may also be able to deduct your contributions to a traditional IRA.
Conditions for Tax Savings Credit
Special conditions have to be met in order to receive this credit. And you should refer the IRS website for specifics in this matter. Or you may wish to contact our firm and schedule an interview. We can talk to you about the credit. And we can also discuss all your tax planning needs.
Upon retirement, life and income change. Instead of contributing to tax-deferred retirement savings plan that reduce taxes; you now have to pay taxes on the funds withdrawn from your savings plan. So professional tax planning is imperative so that you do not pay excessive taxes during the years where you may be making the least income. After all your retirement years should be your golden years.
Retirees often receive income from a variety of sources, such as Social Security benefits, distributions from pensions, annuities and IRAs.
