The employer credit for family and medical leave can range from 12.5% to 25% of the wages you pay while an employee is on leave.

But before the credit applies, the policy has to meet specific regulations.

To see if your business qualifies, we’d need to review your leave plan, including:
• Who on your team qualifies based on compensation and hours
• Whether your written policy covers the right employees
• How your leave is funded
• Where your employees are physically located
• Whether your business can actually use the credit this year

Want to know whether your policy may qualify? Comment “LEAVE” and let’s look at the tax side before you try to claim the credit.

No. Even if you’re legally married on December 31, the IRS considers you married for that tax year.

That means your federal filing options are: Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately.

You don’t get to choose single just because you were single for part of the year.

If your relationship status changed this year, your tax filing status needs to change too.

Want to know whether filing jointly or separately makes more sense for your situation? Schedule an appointment and let’s talk it through.
