Fed workers drawing from pension and now SS!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Joe Biden signed a measure into law on Sunday that boosts Social Security retirement payments to some retirees who draw public pensions, such as former police officers and firefighters, in what the White House described as the first expansion of such benefits in 20 years. The Senate voted last month to approve the Social Security Fairness Act, which would repeal two-decade-old provisions that can reduce benefits for people who also receive a pension. The House of Representatives had approved it earlier.

2021 Recovery Rebate credit

IRS announces special payments going this month to 1 million taxpayers who did not claim 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit; encourages non-filers about approaching deadline to claim credits EnglishEspañol中文 (简体) More In News IR-2024-314, Dec. 20, 2024 WASHINGTON — As part of continuing efforts to help taxpayers, the Internal Revenue Service today announced plans to issue automatic payments later this month to eligible people who did not claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on their 2021 tax returns. The IRS announced the special step after reviewing internal data showing many eligible taxpayers who filed a return but did not claim the credit. The Recovery Rebate Credit is a refundable credit for individuals who did not receive one or more Economic Impact Payments (EIP), also known as stimulus payments. No action is needed for eligible taxpayers to receive these payments, which will go out automatically in December and should arrive in most cases by late January 2025. The payments will be automatically direct deposited or sent by paper check; eligible taxpayers will also receive a separate letter notifying them of the payment. “The IRS continues to work hard to make improvements and help taxpayers,” said IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel. “These payments are an example of our commitment to go the extra mile for taxpayers. Looking at our internal data, we realized that one million taxpayers overlooked claiming this complex credit when they were actually eligible. To minimize headaches and get this money to eligible taxpayers, we’re making these payments automatic, meaning these people will not be required to go through the extensive process of filing an amended return to receive it.” The payments vary depending on several factors, but the maximum payment is $1,400 per individual. The estimated amount of payments going out will be about $2.4 billion. The IRS also reminded taxpayers who haven’t filed 2021 tax returns they might be eligible as well, but they face an April 15, 2025, deadline to file their returns to claim the credit and any other refund they might be owed. Most eligible taxpayers already claimed the credit Most taxpayers eligible for EIPs have already received their EIP or Recovery Rebate Credit. These December payments for the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit are only going to taxpayers where IRS data demonstrates a taxpayer qualifies for the credit. Qualified taxpayers are those who filed a 2021 tax return, but where the data field for the Recovery Rebate Credit was left blank or was filled out as $0 when the taxpayer was actually eligible for the credit. How automatic payments work Taxpayers who qualify but did not claim any portion of the credit on their 2021 tax return should receive these payments by late

Taxing unearned capital gain

Tax policy embraced by Vice President Kamala Harris that’s meant to target the wealthy could be used to capture all investors if the NEW tax doesn't raise enough cash. Harris defenders say posts ignore the fact that the plan would only impact those whose net worth is more than $100 million, or less than 1% of taxpayers the first year. We believe Harris' unearned gains tax would target wealthy investors the 1st year but then the administration would lower the thresshold due to the tax not raising enough fund.

FASB Conceptual Franework

It’s funny how these things work out. A few days ago, I was at Disney's Four Seasons Resort for Western CPE's Orlando conference, speaking about the exposure draft for the final chapter of the FASB's Conceptual Framework. At the time, I indicated it was still an exposure draft but that I expected a final issuance any day now. Low and behold, when I checked my emails later, the announcement from the FASB was in my inbox. For several years, the FASB has been working on a complete conceptual framework to serve as a basis for any and all future GAAP standards issued by the FASB. While the information is non-authoritative and does not change any current GAAP, it can be used by the FASB in developing new standards, as well as practitioners in exercising professional judgment when guidance does not exist. The latest chapter — Chapter 6 of Concept 8 — addresses one of the fundamentals of any financial framework: measurement. It provides a discussion on the two measurement systems which the board feels are both relevant and provide a faithful representation. Those two methods are the entry and exit price systems. The entry price is the price an entity pays to acquire an asset or receives to assume a liability, while an exit price is the price received to sell an asset or paid to settle a liability. Both methods should be considered when making a determination on the proper accounting treatment. The concept also provides plenty of guidance on the selection of a measurement system. I will be explaining this in more detail in upcoming presentations this year, as well as other aspects of the new and complete framework.
