Here are some important steps you need to take to avoid stress at tax time. Here are seven tips for newlyweds.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">1.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span><!--[endif]--><strong><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">Notify the Social Security Administration</span></strong><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">Report any name change to the Social Security Administration so your name and Social Security number will match when you file your next tax return. File a Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, at your local SSA office. The form is available on SSA’s website at <a href="http://www.ssa.gov/" target="_blank">www.ssa.gov</a>, by calling 800-772-1213 or at local offices.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">2.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span><!--[endif]--><strong><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">Notify the IRS if you move</span></strong><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">If you have a new address you should notify the IRS by sending Form 8822, Change of Address.

You can use the IRS Withholding Calculator available on<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.irs.gov/" target="_blank">www.irs.gov</a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>to assist you in determining the correct amount of withholding needed for your new filing status. The IRS Withholding Calculator will give you the information you need to complete a new Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate. You can fill it out and print it online and then give the form to your employer(s) so they withhold the correct amount from your pay.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">6.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span><!--[endif]--><strong><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">Select the right tax form</span></strong><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">Choosing the right individual income tax form can help save money. Newly married taxpayers may find that they now have enough deductions to itemize on their tax returns. Itemized deductions must be claimed on a Form 1040, not a 1040A or 1040EZ.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">Choose the best filing status</span></strong><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">A person’s marital status on Dec. 31 determines whether the person is considered married for that year. Generally, the tax law allows married couples to choose to file their federal income tax return either jointly or separately in any given year. Figuring the tax both ways can determine which filing status will result in the lowest tax, but usually filing jointly is more beneficial.</span></span>Paul A.
