How To Prepare Your Income Tax Return
by: Don Kransteuber
The first step in your income tax preparation is to work out your total income. A person’s total income includes many kinds of receipts such as wages, interest, alimony, lottery winnings and many more. It is important to gather all of the appropriate information for any money you have received during the appropriate tax year before you start your income tax preparation. Be extremely thorough in this aspect of your income tax preparation because the financial penalties for not including all forms of income can be severe.

The second step in your income tax preparation process is calculating the amount of deductions that you can apply to your total income. There are two basic categories of deductions to consider Itemized and standard deductions and Adjustments and exemptions. The next stage of your income tax preparation is to subtract your deductions from your total income to calculate your taxable income and look up your taxable income in the table that is supplied with the tax form. This gives you the amount of tax that you need to pay. The final stage of your income tax preparation is to subtract your tax payments, such as employer withholdings, and credits. After you have finished your income tax preparation you will know if your payments and credits exceed the tax required or not.

If you want to ensure that you pay the lowest amount of tax possible you will want to spend a lot of your income tax preparation time working out if you have more itemized deductions than the standard deduction amount. The standard deduction depends on your filing status and is adjusted each year for inflation. For most people the standard deduction is greater than the total of their itemized deduction but it is still worth calculating an itemized deduction total as part of your income tax preparation. Medical expenses, state and local taxes, mortgage interest and investment expenses are just some of the items that can be included in itemized deductions. Adjustments are deductions you're allowed to claim and should be assessed very carefully during your income tax preparation. Every taxpayer, and their dependents, also qualifies for a personal exemption and during your income tax preparation ensure that you have included all of your qualifying dependents.

How to Find the Best Low APR Credit Cards
 by: Morgan Hamilton

Low APR credit cards are much more prevalent than in years past. Competition is stiff and credit card financial institutions offer many nice perks, rewards, points, low annual percentage rates (APR) and other inducements. They want to capture new customers who've never had a credit card but also those who already have a credit card and might like to save money by transferring that card's balance on to their new low APR credit cards.

Of course, there is nothing lower in an APR than zero - and those exist too, although sometimes for a limited time period. It may be that the lowest, or even the zero percentage APR is for an introductory period, after which the rate is higher. The permanent APR is what you want to watch out for, of course. Although if you're not opposed to doing a lot of switching, you can always purchase a low APR credit card, or zero percentage APR credit card, transfer the balance from your current high APR credit card, and then, once the introductory time period has expired and the APR is about to go up on your newest credit card, transfer the balance yet again to a brand new low APR credit card.

Let's look at a few of the low APR credit cards out there, so you know what kinds of options are typically available to you.

Citibank, for example, offers low APR credit cards that give you five percent cash back on any purchase you making at grocery stores and gas stations with your low APR credit card, and one percent back for any purchase elsewhere. The APR on transfers is zero for the first year. If your transfer transaction is at least $1500 you will earn $5 cash back with the low APR credit card. There is no annual fee and the APR after the first year is 12.24 percent.

Discover has a platinum clear card whose low APR is continual. The first year the APR is zero, but after the first year it's still a very competitive 9.99 percent. And there is no annual fee. With these low APR credit cards you earn a five percent cash back bonus on purchases made from hardware and home improvement retailers, restaurants, book vendors, and gas stations. If the retailer doesn't qualify you for the five percent discount you will always get one percent back no matter what you buy and from where with this low APR credit card.

Chase Bank offers low APR credit cards as well. Its zero percent APR is good for six months, after which you will pay 10.49 percent. These low APR credit cards have no annual fee, and offer rewards at the rate of one point for every dollar spent with your Chase card. You can get free airline flights and hotel rooms, as well as cruises and auto rentals. This card also provides $500,000 worth of travel insurance for worldwide vacationing. You can also take advantage of a fifteen percent discount off a Hertz car rental with these low APR credit cards.
