It’s TAX TIME people! I for one and excited about this time of year because we usually get some extra cash in our wallets. I’m also glad I’m not an accountant. TurboTax makes filing your taxes so easy you don’t have to BE an accountant! We are all in the same boat and as we prepare to get back some of what’s owed I would like to help educate you during the process.
Did you know there’s a new requirement on your taxes this year? The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires all Americans have health insurance coverage in 2014 or pay a penalty in their taxes, which means this year you have to report your insurance stats on your tax return.
Luckily, it’s really easy with TurboTax. If you get insurance from work, all you have to do is check a box! Plus, through February 16th you can file for free – Federal AND State – if you have a simple return (1040A/EZ). That is what I call a bonus.
Not only does TurboTax have a great tax filing system but they have a tool to educate everyone as to how the Affordable Care Act plays into their life. Head over to TurboTax Health to get familiar with the website and the with the ACA requirements coming up this tax season. Also, the videos (linked below) explain the step by step process of how ACA reporting works for all three audiences.
