🚨🚨 TAX TIP ALERT 🚨🚨
Quick heads-up as we head into the next tax season — the IRS is verifying more, not guessing less.
Here’s what they’re paying closer attention to:
• Dependents – You may be asked to show proof they lived with you
(school records, medical records, lease, utilities, or official mail).
• Side income – Money earned through Cash App, Zelle, Venmo, invoices, or deposits must be reported if it’s taxable income.
(Personal transfers, gifts, and reimbursements are not income.)
• Head of Household – Requires proof that you paid household expenses and supported a qualifying dependent.
📌 If you can’t prove it, it can become a problem later — including refund delays or audits.
💡 File smart. Keep your records. Stay ready.
