Timing Can Boost Your Tax Refund

Most people don’t like to think about taxes until the year end.  However, taxpayers who watch the calendar can improve their chances of getting a larger refund.  Here are some tax boosting tips:

  • If you can, pay January’s mortgage payment before December 31 and get the added interest for your mortgage interest deduction.
  • Schedule health-related treatments and exams in the last quarter of the year to boost your medical expense deduction potential.
  • Paying property taxes by New Year’s Eve could make the difference between itemizing and taking the standard deduction, and thus, a bigger refund.
  • f you’re self-employed, you can pay your fourth-quarter state estimated taxes in December, rather than in January when they’re normally due, to increase your itemizing potential.

These are just a few of the tips your CPA firm in Scottsdale can review with you to help you boost your tax refund.
