Financial Focus: Tax Season 2021 - How to turn $20 into a $1,000 Tax Refund!

By Professor Anthony Rivieccio MBA PFA

Just got your taxes done? Not happy? Government took too much? Too little?

Let me be frank!. Understanding the true concept of taxes is hard for most. Why? Because they want it both ways! Let me pay the lowest that I can during the year– so when it’s tax refund time, I expect a Billion!!😳😳

Well not withstanding that illogic, which applies to 70% of Americans, let me nevertheless, address the topic above, how can I get an extra $1,000 Tax refund ,for only $20? I lied!

You can actually get $2,000 back, if you want to invest $40?. Maybe even more!!! How?

Well, if we’re just talking your Tax Refund only then , let the IRS & State be your 1 year forced bank account!. Confused ? Let me make it simple- take $20 out of your check. If you get paid weekly, the yearly sum will be $1,080.

If most things remain equal in your tax file from one year to the next, then your tax bracket should be the same ( check with your tax professional ). If it is, then anything extra- you get all back.

So, how can you get started: It’s called a W-4 form at work.

A W-4 form tells the employer the amount of tax to withhold from an employee’s paycheck based on their marital status, number of allowances and dependents, and other factors. The W-4 is also called an Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate.

So as I mentioned earlier, if , from one year to the next, if you are still in the same bracket, then ask your boss for a form now and ask your tax professional to fill it out for you and request $20 to be taken out of your Federal taxes.

The sooner, the better!.

Remember, you will not get the full maximumization until a ” full calender year” of applying goes into place.

An example: If you applied it on April 1st 2022, then that would be 9 months, 39 weeks of execution , until December 31, 2022.

January 1, 2023, next year, it’s income tax season, 2022. When you get your taxes done, the government owes you $20 for 39 weeks, or an extra $780 on your Federal Tax Refund.

Tax Season, 2023, a full calender year cycle would have taken place and that $1,080 extra will kick in, year after year after year.
