A tax expert says basic federal tax forms are actually a bit simpler this year. Creighton University accounting professor Tom Purcell says some new taxpayers in Nebraska will find they don’t need a C-P-A to complete their returns.
A federal report estimates 30-million Americans aren’t withholding enough money from their paychecks and will owe the I-R-S money when they file this year. Purcell says it’s due to changes in the federal withholding tables.
For those who find they aren’t withholding enough, Purcell recommends they revise their W-4 forms with their employers right away — for next year.
