Qualified Dividends

Qualified dividends are ordinary dividends that meet the requirements to be taxed as net capital gains. It's important to understand that on Form 1099-DIV, qualified dividends are included in ordinary dividends. If you receive $350 in qualified dividends and $150 in nonqualified dividends, you'll receive a Form 1099-DIV that shows $500 in ordinary dividends (the total from both categories) and $350 in qualified dividends (the subcategory that gets special treatment). On your tax return you'll report the entire $500 as income, but the $350 of qualified dividend will end up being taxed at a lower rate.

Taxable Refunds

Any state income tax refund you received last year might need to be included on your federal income tax return. If you itemized your deductions on your federal tax return last year and you claimed a deduction for State and Local Taxes, then you need to figure the taxable portion of your state refund. However, if you claimed the standard deduction on your federal tax return last year, your state tax refund is not taxable. You can skip Form 1040 Line 10. Documents needed are Form 1099-G and Form 1040 and Schedule A.

What Counts as Business Income?

Business income is income you earned because you owned and operated a business. The IRS explains business income this way: "If there is a connection between any income you receive and your business, the income is business income. A connection exists if it is clear that the payment of income would not have been made if you did not have the business." (Publication 334)

Business income includes:

  • Income received for services rendered as an independent contractor, freelancer, or other non-employee position;
  • Income received for manufacturing or selling merchandise;
  • Income received from government contracts;
  • Fair market value of property or services received through bartering.

Tax Deductions

Taxpayers who don't have enough itemized deductions to exceed their standard deduction are better off using their standard deduction as that will result in the lowest federal income tax.

What are Standard Deductions?

The standard deduction is a dollar amount that reduces the amount of income subject to tax. You cannot take the standard deduction if you are claiming itemized deductions. The amount of standard deduction is based on a taxpayer's filing status. The standard deduction amount can change from year to year depending upon inflation.

I want to itemize my deductions

An itemized deduction is an eligible expense that individual taxpayers in the United States can report on their federal income tax returns in order to decrease their taxable income.
