President's Letter for March 2010
Tax Preparation, Advice and Audit Assistance
Dear HCCUA Members:
This is the month when everyone is preparing or finishing their taxes for the previous year, and reviewing their annual budgets for the next one. This is a particularly good year for new tax credits and breaks developed by Congress to help stimulate the economy. Late last year, Congress extended the first time homebuyer tax break and exempted from taxation some of the first payments from unemployment income. In addition, there are many new tax breaks including those for making your home more energy efficient, for job seeking expenses or moving for employment, for buying a new car or truck, and on what you paid for COBRA medical coverage benefits, to list only a few. You will need to discuss all of the new tax credits and breaks with the person preparing your tax return.
As a HCCUA Member, you have access to the extraordinary and comprehensive benefits of tax preparation, advice and audit assistance. Your HCCUA benefit provides a free tax return preparation for those filing simple forms (1040EZ, 1040A and 1040), and deeply discounted rates on other tax return preparation services. All of your tax and financial assistance through HCCUA is provided by tax attorneys, financial analysts, CPA’s, former tax auditors, and/or Enrolled Agents certified by the IRS, and their advice is backed by a $1,000,000 liability insurance policy. As a HCCUA Member, you have the best tax preparation services available in the United States right at your convenience by dialing a toll-free number!
Maybe you have questions that are specific to your unique needs and circumstances. Should you open a Roth IRA? Which deductions can you take for your home business? Is the money I inherited taxable? How can I take advantage of the new tax breaks and credits? Will a divorce affect my taxes? The experts available to you as a HCCUA Member can review your previous tax return, make suggestions, and answer your specific questions. In addition, all HCCUA Members have access to a vast reserve of information through an online portal that provides extensive resources on tax tips, tax laws, IRS audits, tax and estate planning, and other pertinent topics. The experts will also help to explain tax software programs if you are preparing your own tax return!
Everyone fears a letter from the IRS stating they are going to have a tax return audit. However, if this ever happens to you, there will be experts who will assist you in understanding the audit notification and process, and to provide professional advice on how to solve the situation with the IRS. HCCUA Members also have access to an online IRS audit tutorial that provides direction and support throughout the audit process.
As the tax season rolls into your life again this year, please realize that you are never alone if you are a HCCUA Member. You have excellent assistance, support, services, and benefits from your HCCUA Membership and from the best tax experts in the country. There’s no need for you to fret or worry, just let the experts help you, and sit back and relax! I hope you all have a stress-free tax season and an extraordinary month.
Sincerely,
Dr. Lynn S. Morgan, President
HCCUA
