If you haven\u2019t filed yet, here are some tax time reminders about what you need to do, plus how to take advantage of a couple of ways to reduce your tax burden.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t done so already, you must electronically file your copy (Copy A) of an employee\u2019s Form W-2 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/irs-pdf\/iw2w3.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Form W-3<\/a> to the Social Security Administration by March 31. The W-3 is a reconciliation of all W-2s for each of your employees, even if you have only one domestic worker. Also, you\u2019ll need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/about-schedule-h-form-1040\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">file Schedule H<\/a> with your federal income tax return. <a href=\"https:\/\/gtm.com\/household\/do-i-need-to-file-schedule-h\/\">Schedule H is an annual reconciliation form<\/a> that is used to report Social Security, Medicare, unemployment, and federal income taxes, as well as wages paid to your employees throughout the year (GTM clients can find these forms under the \u201cReports\u201d tab in <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.gtm.com\/Login.aspx?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">your online account)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Looking to reduce what you owe? Reimburse your dependent care expenses with pre-tax funds through an employer-sponsored Flexible Spending Account (FSA). You are allowed to set aside up to $5,000 per year of tax-free money. Check with your own employer\u2019s human resources department to see if there is a program available to you.<\/p>\n<p>You can also take advantage of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/uac\/About-Form-2441\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit<\/a> on your personal income tax return (regardless of income level or filing status). Claim up to $3,000 of qualifying child care expenses (such as your nanny\u2019s salary) for one qualifying individual or up to $6,000 if you have two or more children. You can reduce your taxes by 20 percent of your claimed expenses (i.e. up to $600 for one child and $1,200 for two children).<\/p>\n<p>Need help?
