Tax Expert Tips

Child and Dependent Care Credit: You might be able to get back some of the money you spent on childcare expenses by claiming this nonrefundable credit. If you cared for disabled dependents or spouses, you also might qualify to claim this credit.

Moving Expenses: You can deduct moving expenses if your move is work-related and passes time and distance tests. Moving expenses are considered adjustments to income. So, you can deduct them even if you don't itemize your deductions.

You Owe the IRS, But Can't Pay: If you can't immediately pay the IRS what you owe, you must still file your return on time. If you don't, you’ll also pay a late-filing penalty along with the taxes you owe.

Education: Tax benefits might be available if you're saving for or paying education costs for yourself or another student who's a member of your immediate family. However, most benefits apply only to higher education. Also, you usually can't claim more than one benefit for the same qualifying education expense.
