Tax Tip of the Week
Here are three changes to tax law that took place in tax year 2019:
1. Alimony payments from divorce or separation agreements made or changed after December 31, 2018 will not be deductible.
2. The penalty if you don't have health insurance (and didn't receive an exemption) has been eliminated. However, you still have to reconcile for premium tax credits if you received advance premium tax payments.
3. The threshold for deducting qualifying medical and dental expenses has risen from 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) to 10%, making it harder to deduct those expenses. So, if your AGI is $60,000, you could only deduct those qualifying expenses that exceed $6,000. Less? You're out of luck.
