Hey, y'all, this is a reminder for anyone that has student loans that they are defaulted on or in collections for:

Apply for Fresh Start NOW if you haven't already done so. Like right now. Do it right this very second do not put it off any longer.

If you don't know, applying for Fresh Start will move your loan status from "Default" to "Current," you will no longer have to deal with collections calls! You won't have your wages garnished or your tax refunds taken by the Education Department! The default gets removed from your credit and you become eligible for federal mortgage programs! You become eligible for Income Driven Repayment (IDR) programs that can reduce your monthly payment in a huge way (from $400/month to $50/month for me!) and you get IDR credit for the three years you were in default during the pandemic freeze!

It only has upsides!

I mean it, it can make a huge difference! You can even submit both Fresh Start and an IDR application at the same time. It takes literal seconds. I had my name legally changed and I'm still eligible! I clicked like 3 buttons, checked a couple boxes, and boom. I sent off the application August 22nd and I got the letter yesterday (Sept 20th), but that letter was dated Sept 1st and was only to inform me that my loan was no longer in default would be transferred to a new loan servicer by the end of the month. It took a week and a half to process.

I also became eligible and received a refund check for money taken from me during the starting stages of the pandemic.

The best time to do it is now. Period.

Do. It. Right. Now.

[ask-a-native]

Do Native Americans pay taxes?

Let me add a qualifier that this is not my field of expertise, either by experience or education, but I'll answer in a general sense. Keep in mind I'm speaking on Canada, not the US. But to my knowledge the US has the same complexity to the matter.

Short Answer: Yes

Detailed Answer: It's complicated

From a brief article on the matter:

Most income, sales and property tax exemptions only apply to status Indians (637,660) who live or work on a reserve. Less than half of all registered status Indians live on reserve so the number who are actually eligible for tax exemptions amounts to about 314,000 people. [1] To put it in perspective, somewhat less than half of all registered status Indians live on reserve so less than 1% of the total population of Canada are exempt from paying certain taxes.

All other Indigenous people – Inuit, Métis and non-status Indians - pay taxes on the same footing as non-Indigenous people.

Back to my own words.

"Taxes" is pretty broad so let's get specific:

Sales Tax

Some natives are entitled to some sales tax exemptions that vary case to case. In Canada, you need to be enrolled with a specific First Nation to be eligible for certain exemptions.

Because I'm a Métis citizen that means I don't have "Status" and am not enrolled with a (colonial constructed) First Nation, so I don't have much first-hand knowledge on the subject. But I know enough from others that it's a pain in the ass "privilege" to attempt to invoke in the cases you're actually entitled to it.

Keep in mind this (complicated) exemption is not actually a "privilege." First Nations are considered to fall under the domain of the federal government, not provincial. And many of the government services a non-First Nations Canadian (or American) citizen would expect from municipal and provincial governments are instead provided by the band or let's say, by the "reserve," that don't receive provincial or municipal funding. Those services are funded by revenue generated by the band's own enterprises, or from a fund generated by resources "owned" by First Nations, sometimes according to treaties, but generously managed by the federal government.

In my experience, the only significant, reliable sales tax exemption is if you're a member of a First Nation buying goods from a business located on reserve. Unfortunately, the business is still expected to pay the total of those owed taxes and wait upon a refund that often comes after a delay. Which is a headache for businesses owned and operated by band members who mostly service band members.

Income Tax

Yes. The only exemption is if you're a "Status Indian" (legal term) working on reserve. Any income earned off-reserve is taxed.

Property Tax

Functions the same as the others. There are exemptions for Status Indians living on reserve. I reiterate, if you own property on reserve. But otherwise you pay what everyone else pays.

Well that was an interesting start.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen defended the Internal Revenue Service in a speech Tuesday against repeated threats from Republicans to cut the agency’s funding.

“Playing politics with IRS funding is unacceptable. Cutting it would be damaging and irresponsible,” Yellen said.

The IRS was allocated an influx of $80 billion by the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act, which passed last year. The funds are intended to help crack down on tax cheats and improve taxpayer service.

But the funding has become politically controversial.

Most recently, House Republicans voted to rescind $14.3 billion from the IRS to pay for an emergency aid package for Israel in the wake of the Hamas terrorist attacks, but the bill is unlikely to even get brought up for a vote in the Democrat-controlled Senate.

Newly minted House Speaker Mike Johnson said the IRS cuts would offset the spending for Israel, but independent budget experts have repeatedly said that taking money away from the IRS’ enforcement actions will actually add to the deficit. In fact, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said last week that cutting $14.3 billion from the IRS would reduce the amount of tax revenue the agency can collect by $26.8 billion over 10 years.

The House GOP has made several efforts to claw back some IRS funds since taking control of the chamber in January, and some Representatives have even called for abolishing the IRS altogether. Earlier this year, Republicans were successful in rescinding $20 billion from the IRS as part of a deal to address the debt ceiling.

Many Republicans claim the IRS will use the money to hound middle-class taxpayers and small business owners, though the Biden administration has said that taxpayers earning less than $400,000 a year won’t face an increase in taxes due to the new funding.

“Let me be as clear as possible. The IRS agenda in using Inflation Reduction Act funds is as follows: If you are middle- or low-income, better service; if you are wealthy, more scrutiny,” said IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel in a speech he gave Tuesday following Yellen’s remarks.

IRS IMPROVEMENTS

The Biden administration is eager to show how the new funding is helping the IRS improve its taxpayer services and ramp up enforcement efforts.

“The new funding is driving change across the IRS, and we are seeing a wave of improvements that the agency hasn’t seen in a generation,” Werfel said.

During the 2023 filing season, the IRS was able to answer 3 million more calls and cut phone wait times to three minutes from 28 minutes compared with the year before after hiring 5,000 new customer service representatives. And by ramping up enforcement on millionaires this year, the IRS has collected $160 million in back taxes.

The IRS has also already met its goal, set earlier this year, to make sure taxpayers can respond to all IRS correspondence online. Previously, there were certain forms that could only be responded to on paper through the mail. As a result of this change, the IRS estimates more than 94% of individual taxpayers will no longer have to send mail to the agency.

The IRS has also put a plan in motion to digitize all paper-filed tax returns by 2025. The move is expected to cut processing times in half and speed up refunds by four weeks.

There are more improvements the IRS expects to roll out next year.

For example, the existing online tool known as “Where’s My Refund?” will be able to give taxpayers more detailed information about the status of their refund after filing their federal tax return, including whether the IRS needs them to respond to a letter requesting additional information.

The IRS is also expecting to provide more in-person tax filing support at its Taxpayer Assistance Centers. Taxpayers can go to those sites to receive free help from trained volunteers. The agency’s goal is to increase the number of taxpayers receiving free tax preparation help by around 50,000 in filing season 2024.

While these improvements are intended to give taxpayers fewer reasons to call the IRS, new technology is cutting down on wait times when they have to pick up the phone. The main IRS line now has a call-back option when the expected wait time exceeds 15 minutes. A caller can hang up and receive a call back later.

In addition, the IRS is currently working on building its own free tax filing program, known as Direct File, that will launch as a limited pilot program next year and be available to some taxpayers in 13 states.

The Penn Wharton Budget Model, a think tank headquartered at the University of Pennsylvania, recently released a study claiming former President Donald Trump’s economic plans would add about four trillion dollars to the national deficit over ten years while Vice President Kamala Harris’s economic plans would add about two trillion dollars. Vice President Harris would increase the deficit largely through expanding refundable tax credits such as the child tax credit. Low-income Americans can qualify for refundable tax credits even if they have less federal tax liability. So this proposal includes a welfare program disguised as a tax credit. Vice President Harris also proposes spending 40 billion dollars on an “innovation fund” to increase the supply of “affordable” housing. Another of the vice president’s proposals is providing first-time homebuyers with up to 25,000 dollars in downpayment assistance.

Harris’s proposals could contribute to a new housing bubble. This bubble would inevitably burst, leading to an economic crisis likely worse than the “Great Recession” that followed the bursting of the last housing bubble. One reason it could be worse is that it may be accompanied by the bursting of several other bubbles and the rejection of the dollar’s world reserve currency status.

According to the study, President Trump will increase the deficit by cutting taxes without also cutting spending. President Trump has pledged to renew the 2017 tax cuts and also promised to stop taxing Social Security benefits. Trump’s tax cuts would help spur economic growth, job creation, and higher tax revenue. The study indicates that the pro-growth effects of Trump’s tax cuts are the reason it projects Trump’s tax policy will “only” increase the federal deficit by 4.1 trillion dollars over ten years as opposed to 5.8 trillion dollars.

Understanding Tax Refunds: JJ Tax made it easy

Handling tax refunds can seem overwhelming, but having a clear grasp of the process can make it straightforward. This newsletter aims to demystify tax refunds by covering key aspects: eligibility criteria, claiming procedures and tracking your refund status.

What is a Tax Refund?

A tax refund represents the amount returned to taxpayers who have overpaid their taxes over the fiscal year. This situation arises when the total tax deducted or paid exceeds the actual tax liability determined based on their income.

In India, tax payments are made through TDS (Tax Deducted at Source), advance tax, or self-assessment tax. When the total tax paid or deducted surpasses your tax liability as calculated in your Income Tax Return (ITR), the excess amount is refunded. This mechanism ensures taxpayers are reimbursed for any overpayments.

Who is Eligible for a Tax Refund?

Eligibility for a tax refund depends on various factors:

Excess Tax Payments If your TDS or advance tax payments exceed your tax liability, you’re eligible for a refund. This often applies to salaried employees, freelancers, and individuals with taxable investment income.

Claiming Deductions If you claim deductions under sections like 80C, 80D, etc., and these deductions lower your tax liability below the total tax paid, a refund may be due.

Filing an Income Tax Return Only those who file their Income Tax Return can claim a refund. The return must accurately reflect your income, deductions, and tax payments to establish if a refund is warranted.

Losses to Set Off If you have losses from previous years or the current year that can be carried forward and set off against current year income, you might be eligible for a refund if these losses reduce your tax liability.

Who is Not Eligible for a Tax Refund?

Certain situations or individuals may not qualify for a tax refund:

Income Below Taxable Threshold If your total income is below the taxable limit, a refund may not be applicable.

Salary Below Government Criteria Individuals earning below the minimum threshold specified by the Government of India may not qualify for a refund.

No Overpayment If your tax payments match your tax liability or you haven’t overpaid, a refund will not be available.

Non-Filers or Incorrect Filers Those who fail to file their Income Tax Return or file it incorrectly will not be eligible for a refund. Proper filing is essential for initiating the refund process.

Invalid Deductions Claims for deductions that do not meet tax regulations or lack valid documentation may result in a refund rejection.

Incorrect Bank Details If the bank account information provided in your ITR is incorrect or incomplete, the refund may not be processed.

How to Claim Your Tax Refund

Here’s a step-by-step guide to claiming your tax refund:

File Your Income Tax Return (ITR) Access the Income Tax Department’s e-filing portal. Choose the correct ITR form based on your income sources and eligibility. Accurately complete all required details, including income, deductions, and tax payments.

Verify Your ITR Verify your ITR using Aadhaar OTP, net banking, or by sending a signed ITR-V to the Centralised Processing Centre (CPC). Verification must be completed within 120 days of filing your ITR.

ITR Processing The Income Tax Department will process your return, assess your tax liability, and determine the refund amount. This process can take a few weeks to several months.

Refund Issuance After processing, the refund will be credited directly to your bank account. Ensure your bank details are accurate and up-to-date in your ITR.

Update Bank Account Details (if needed) If your bank details change after filing your ITR, promptly update them on the e-filing portal to ensure correct refund crediting.

How to Check Your ITR Refund Status for FY 2024-2025

To check your refund status, follow these steps:

Visit the Income Tax E-Filing Portal Go to the official Income Tax Department e-filing website.

Access the 'Refund Status' Section Navigate to the ‘Refund Status’ page, typically under the ‘Services’ tab or a similar heading.

Enter Required Details Input your PAN (Permanent Account Number) and the assessment year for your filed return.

Review the Status The portal will show the status of your refund, including whether it has been processed, approved, or if further action is needed.

Track Refund Processing Keep an eye on any updates or notifications from the Income Tax Department regarding your refund.

Understanding the tax refund process can simplify the experience. By following these steps and staying informed about your eligibility, you can make sure that you have a smooth process and quickly receipt of any excess tax payments.

Wrong. The reason undocumented immigrants pay taxes is because they interact with the aboveboard economy at all. They are charged sales tax on purchases. If they're on the books of an employer, that employer must pay payroll taxes for that employee and withhold income taxes from that employee's paycheck, because if they don't, they're engaging in tax fraud and that's their responsibility, not that of the employee with inaccurate papers.

Indeed, because undocumented immigrants generally have a limited ability to file their income taxes legally, they pay more in income tax than someone of the same income who would receive a tax refund. And if they have any kind of housing beyond squatting, they pay property taxes directly or via rent. This happens because taxes are paid regularly, but proof of employability status is only filed at the start of employment, making it easier to fake than faking taxes again and again without being caught.

What Are The Factors I Need To Consider When Buying A Property In Dubai

Thanks to the increased foreign direct investments and free trade agreements between UAE and other countries, Dubai has become one of the most happening cities in the world, especially for the wealthy across the globe.

 Besides free trade, low tax and zero income tax, Dubai is also dubbed as the business hub of the Middle East and enjoys the status as a favorite travel destination. Such features along with political stability and investment in infrastructure significantly boosted the country’s real estate.

 Reportedly, Dubai saw a 76 per cent rise in real estate transactions in 2022 which amounted to a whopping $140 billion, with a majority of buyers from Russia. If you are lured by the lush lifestyle and cheap service from low-wage laborers procured from Asia, Africa and the Middle East, and propelled to buy a property here, here’s how to make a smart purchase and enjoy your slice of the cake.

The Current Trends Of Property Demand In Dubai

While real estate in Dubai is broadly classified on a residential and commercial basis, the former is further classified as villas, apartments, penthouses and working houses or studio apartments that the opulent purchase to house their staff.

The commercial property includes office spaces, trade areas, warehouses, exhibition halls and industrial properties. While the demand for office space is believed to have subsided, the need for warehouses has increased due to enhanced e-commerce developments.

 The huge retail companies and international markets in the Emirates have caused this demand for warehouses and sorting places.

Appreciation For Dubai Property

 The strategic location and accentuating economy add to the appreciation of property value in Dubai. The flawless infrastructure makes any real estate investment fruitful, especially the off-plan ones.

 Through flexible payment plans, off-plan properties have enhanced appreciation since the property price increases as the building nears completion. Likewise, even end users benefit from buying a property at a lower cost with more value for money.

 Buyers can also benefit from various plans provided by promoters like post-handover payment plans and rent-to-own plans to name a few. Early investments offer immense profits through the appreciation perspective.

Allegedly the price of properties which are arriving in the markets here are expected to rise by 25 per cent per year. Demand for villas has superseded those for apartments and despite the shortage of luxury villas, the demand only grows.

 Zeroing In On The Right Property

The buyer must clarify self about the property type, purpose of the purchase, preferred locality and its functionality to satisfy the purpose, amount affordable for purchase, mortgage possibilities and the developer’s reputation to hand over the property in the scheduled time while purchasing the property.

 It is equally important to check the risks involved and estimated ROI on completion of the project.

Timespan Of Occupation

Purchasing a home anywhere across the world, leave alone in Dubai, must be considered on both a short and long-term basis. An apartment purchased by a newlywed or young couple may seem insufficient when the family expands.

Purchasing villas gives the option to expand and redesign besides providing a better return on investments. These villas which are excellently furnished can be sold to one of the increasing numbers of interested buyers if owners choose to relocate to another country.

 Budget

 As of February 2023, the starting price of a property in Dubai is reportedly between AED 3 lakhs to 3.5 lakhs. The price of apartments in Dubai depends upon floor area, locality and amenities among various other factors.

The buyer must be prepared to pay a 10 per cent refundable registration fee while purchasing the desired property.

Location 

The instance found below shows how price varies among localities for almost the same floor area.

 One-bedroom apartments measuring 800 to 900 square feet at Business Bay and Dubai Hills Estate at Mohammed Bin Rasheed are affordable. One-bedroom apartments are also available at Al Wasl (Jumeira), Dubai South City (Jabal Ali) at affordable rates.

 Single-bedroom apartments at Emaar Burj Vista measuring between 700 to 1000 square feet cost more than AED 2,00,000 at Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina. Proximity to Dubai Mall, Dubai Mall Metro Station and easy connectivity to Sheik Zayed Road and Dubai Property justifies the costly price of this single-bedroom apartment.

The Purchase Medium

A buyer could save a lot of money by avoiding brokers or middlemen while purchasing property in Dubai directly from the owner. Notably, brokers charge a 2 per cent agency fee and a 5 per cent VAT charge on the fee.

However, while avoiding brokers, one forgoes professional assessment of properties and expert navigation of transaction details like the contract paperwork, for instance, the art of negotiating.

Dubai Land Department Service Charges

Dubai Land Department service charges, which are mandatory while purchasing property in Dubai, may be shared equally by the buyer and seller or might be entirely paid by the buyer. The DLD charges amount to 4 percent of the property value.

Additionally, the buyer may need to pay a mortgage registration fee if bought through a loan, which amounts to 0.25 per cent of the loan along with AED 290. If the DLD is not paid within 60 days, the purchase is understood to be canceled.

Property Service Charges

The property service charges which are calculated on a square foot basis may range between AED 3 to 30. Besides property service charges one must foot Dubai Electricity and Water Authority fees along with insurance fees, security deposit and property transfer fees.

The property service charge varies along with locations, project type and purchase purpose. The buyer should also pay a ‘sinking fund’ which is a reserve fund that meets expenses for major repairs in future. Interestingly the 10 to 15 per cent price drop in key locations of Dubai facilitates developers selling to new end users.

While places like International City, Discovery Gardens have low service charges at 7 Dirhams per square feet (psf), Business Bay, Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Sports City, Jumeirah Village Circle charge moderately at 10 Dirhams psf.

Arabian Ranches 1 and 2 require AED 0.89 psf and 2.44 psf respectively while Burj Vista property owners shell out a massive AED 17.44 psf for property services.

 Amenities And Their Scalability, Effectiveness And Quality

Villas are equipped with clubhouses, gyms and modern equipment and are tagged with excellent resale value. Villas in Dubai Hills, Arabian Ranches, Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills, Damac Hills and Al Furjan are sought for 18-hole golf course plus proximity to the city, connectivity to Sheik Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Waterfront view, Privacy with palatial layout, family-friendly atmosphere and proximity to Expo 2020 site in the same order.

Handling Installments

Installment plans are popular in Dubai real estate purchases. 10 percent of the total cost is paid as advance which is followed by installments that cover half the entire cost at the time of handover.

 Documents Required

Copies of documents including Emirates ID, passport, Visa page, reservation form, Sales and Purchase Agreement and Mortgage Contract if applicable required while purchasing property in Dubai.

Check Developer Background

It pays to check the developer’s track records before approaching them to buy property. If the developer lacks dedication, his property abounds in unsatisfactory plans and poor finishes while laying tiles, cupboards and walls.

Where To Purchase Off-Plan Properties

Purchasing a property through D Realtors, a professional and authentic real estate player in Dubai, fetches access to the functionally and aesthetically best property in Dubai which is spread across in prestigious locations such as Mohammed Bin Rashid City, The Fields, Burj Khalifa district and Sheik Zayed Road to name a few.

Final Words

The decision to join the game cannot be delayed too much since the prospects have already caught the eyes of many. Waste no time in deciding to take the plunge because the competition is already in the news.

If you are not sure if a tax preparer is right for you, here are some reasons why you should enlist the helping hands of a professional. You Made Mistakes The Year Prior If you lack the necessary expertise, it’s all too easy to make mistakes on a tax return. If you’ve found yourself in this unfortunate situation, a financial expert can breathe clarity into these affairs. Your tax professional will review the return, subsequently making the necessary adjustments. As a result, you minimize the damage, gain peace of mind, and rid yourself of a financial fiasco. You're Newly Married If you’ve recently gotten hitched, filing your taxes might prove more difficult. Fortunately, a tax professional can advise you on how to take advantage of your new marital status. What’s more, they’ll show you what documents you need to collect now that you have two incomes to report. Navigating these unfamiliar waters isn’t something you should do alone. Set you and your spouse up for tax season success when you hire a tax preparer. You’ve Started A Small Business If you’ve pursued an entrepreneurial endeavor within the last year, consider employing a tax professional. Not only will they help you gather the necessary paperwork, but they’ll also tell you how you can benefit financially as a sole proprietor. Unfortunately, most small business owners don’t consult with a specialist until a few years after they’ve launched their company. Consequently, they miss out on tax exemptions and other perks. With that in mind, if you’re new to the entrepreneurial realm, work with a tax professional so that you can boost your tax refund. You’ve Sold/Purchased Real Estate It is no secret that buying or selling real estate influences your finances. Therefore, filing your taxes demands extra legwork. From capital gains to deductions, there’s a lot to consider, making it crucial to partner with a tax expert. Most notably, working with a specialist ensures that you get the most out of your investment. Instead of getting bogged down in the details, allow a professional to handle the intricacies for you. You’ve Adopted A Child If you’ve adopted a child, consulting with a tax preparer is wildly beneficial. Using their insight, they’ll let you know what financial perks you’re entitled to. In 2015, for example, the IRS offered a tax credit of up to $13,400 per child. To make sure that you do not overlook anything, place your trust in a professional. For optimal results, reach out to a tax specialist early on in the process. In addition to being prudent, this also guarantees that you cover all your bases before filing your taxes. You Have Foreign Assets If you have a foreign bank account or investments, you must report this information to the IRS. Otherwise, you’re liable to get audited by the IRS. With an accountant, you can calculate exchange rates and file the correct forms with ease. In essence, you don’t risk leaving out pertinent information. Foreign assets can be confusing enough, but when you’re entering this information into your tax return, it can complicate matters even further. For your sake, give a tax professional the financial reins. You’re Self-Employed If you’re self-employed, you likely don’t have any taxes withheld.
