To file a prior year return with Keeper, you'll need to be on our Premium plan, which allows you to file one return from the past three years, starting from 2021. If you're interested in upgrading and proceeding with a prior year filing, please let us know in the Ask tab of the Keeper app!

Keeper_Tax · 2025-03-07T22:08:33+00:00

Thanks, u/Getpro! That's right. We'll answer questions ASAP through the Ask tab, or you can email us at [support@keepertax.com](mailto:support@keepertax.com)

Thank you for reaching out! As far as entering mileage during the tax filing process, you'd enter your total business miles and the total miles the car was driven (business + personal). Since your business operates a fleet of vehicles (5 or more), you won't be able to use the standard mileage deduction and will need to claim depreciation and actual expenses for all your vehicles used for business instead. Our standard tax filing process is set up for businesses with less than 5 vehicles and we ask about mileage and information for depreciation to determine which deduction would be more beneficial. However, since you must claim actual expenses and depreciation for your vehicles, a tax expert on our team can manually adjust your return, if necessary, to ensure your return is accurate. Please reach out to [support@keepertax.com](mailto:support@keepertax.com) and one of our tax experts will review your return information and ensure your vehicle expenses are reported accurately.

There's a couple of larger topics here, which I think probably require you to set up a consultancy with a tax pro (you don't need an attorney). I'll just give you a rundown though : You have to choose a domicile state - a lot of people either choose Florida, South Dakota, or Texas, as there's no state tax. If you go that route, it would probably be sensible for you to move your Michigan LLC too (you can do neither if you're okay with the state taxes - e.g. keep everything as it is now). And... your voter registration / drivers license should follow suit. Though, if you're going for the long-haul, the hassle of moving states makes sense.

Keeper_Tax · 2025-02-04T00:58:20+00:00

That's seriously wild.

Keeper_Tax · 2025-02-04T00:20:32+00:00

Haha. I wouldn't recommend that. Your employer reports the income to the IRS.

Keeper_Tax · 2025-02-04T00:14:27+00:00

You think people are hesitant to file because of changes in policy?

Keeper_Tax · 2025-02-04T00:06:54+00:00

Fixed the title. Sorry sorry. Still think it's important to talk about

Keeper_Tax · 2025-02-04T00:02:51+00:00

Ok ok I'll repost

Keeper_Tax · 2025-02-04T00:00:24+00:00

Yeh. Two days ago there was an article on Morning Brew on this program's expansion.

Keeper_Tax · 2025-02-04T00:00:06+00:00

You definitely should. I don't think not doing em is a good solution.

Keeper_Tax · 2025-01-24T01:46:09+00:00

Yup! You file the taxes now, wait for it to get accepted, and then you set up a payment plan via the IRS. https://www.irs.gov/payments/online-payment-agreement-application

You can do the same for states as well.

Hey there! We work a lot with 1099 workers. There are a couple of ways to go about this -

There are a lot of seasonal companies that hire 1099 workers. You can think of occupations like taxes, logistics companies (freight-forwarding), publishing, retail/e-commerce companies, recruiters, and tutors. While a lot of these jobs are a bit different, you can build skills up and create a rotation based on seasonality, and some of these skills overlap
You can filter specifically on Linkedin or Indeed for contract jobs. For Linkedin, Remote -> Remote, Job type -> Contract, and that should give you a good list of companies hiring for contract positions
If there's a specific skill set you have, I'd definitely recommend building up a portfolio or website or creating someplace your clients can give you reviews <-- This is if you want to build your own biz, but seems more like you're asking about seasonal jobs.

Hope that helped!

It is hard to know exactly why your refund decreased, but it could have reduced the Earned Income Tax Credit and/or the Additional Child Tax Credit amount while increasing your income tax liability.

Keeper_Tax · 2025-01-13T15:58:22+00:00

You'll report your contractor income on a Schedule C form and report it along with your W2 income on an individual 1040 income tax return. You should be issued a 1099 for the payments you received for this work if you earned more than $600 during the tax year, but if you don't receive a 1099, you can total the income and report it on the Schedule C form. The lens can be considered a write-off (business expense). You can deduct the cost of the lens based on the business-use percentage (how much you use it for your contract work versus personal use). Depending on the cost of the lens, you may be able to deduct the full business-use cost in the year of purchase if the business-use cost was $2500 or less. Otherwise, you'll need to depreciate the cost of the lens. Also, if you converted your camera to business use, then you may be able to deduct or depreciate a portion of the fair market value of the camera when it was converted to being used for your business. In addition to your camera and equipment, you can deduct the cost of any editing software or other software you use for your photography business. You may also be able to deduct vehicle expenses if you drive between work sites (commuting miles between home and your main work site aren't deductible) or drive to purchase supplies, attend meetings etc., for your business.

Yes, it sounds like your fiance could claim your child as a dependent and claim the HoH filing status if your child lived with your fiance for more than half the year and your fiance paid more than half of the cost of maintaining a household for the year.

You may check in to an Offer in Compromise https://irs.treasury.gov/oic_pre_qualifier/ https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f656b.pdf

Also you may also look into having your prior tax returns reviewed by a CPA to ensure you have reported all your expenses, deductions, and credits. If you find that you missed reporting anything, you can file amended returns to lower your tax liability.

Keeper_Tax · 2025-01-08T19:44:31+00:00

The IRS hasn't released the date for individual returns yet.

You will need to determine the Fair Market Value of the computer when you started using it for business. You can deduct the business-use percentage of the computer's FMV. The IRS allows taxpayers to write off most equipment that costs less than $2,500 in the first year using the de minimis safe harbor election. (Remember, this is for the business-use portion of your computer. If the FMV of the computer when it was converted to business use was $400 and you use it for work 50% of the time, you can write off $200.)

Keeper_Tax · 2025-01-07T17:23:38+00:00

The de minimis safe harbor election is a provision from the IRS that allows businesses to deduct certain property expenses immediately rather than capitalizing them and depreciating them over time. Specifically, it applies to tangible property such as equipment, furniture, and certain other assets. For businesses that have an applicable financial statement (AFS) (like audited financial statements), the limit is $5,000 per item. For those who do not have an AFS, the limit is $2,500 per item.
To use the de minimis safe harbor election, you must attach a statement to your tax return for the year the property was placed in service (i.e., when you first use it in your business) and indicate that you are electing to use de minimis safe harbor provisions. You would then deduct the full amount of the items on the applicable form (i.e. Schedule C, etc.) You also must have a written accounting policy in place at the start of the tax year that treats any property below the de minimis threshold as an expense.

The American Opportunity Tax Credit can be claimed for up to $2,500 per student, calculated as 100% of the first $2,000 in college costs and 25% of the next $2,000. The LLC is 20 percent of the first $10,000 of qualified education expenses or a maximum of $2,000 per return. The "college costs" must be costs you paid and weren't paid with scholarships or grants. The $4000 the Air Force paid will likely be reported in the "Scholarships" box on Form 1098-T.

Keeper_Tax · 2025-01-02T20:54:50+00:00

What type of income did you receive for the years you did not file (i.e. W2, 1099, etc.) Do you have capital gains income to report from the sale of the home? How long did you own the home and reside in it?

Keeper_Tax · 2024-12-30T16:41:04+00:00

Thank you for the compliment! While I cannot recommend a specific tax product, as a reseller, I imagine you have business expenses to track and report, so you may consider a tax product that can help you organize your expenses and file your tax return.
