2022 Tax Code Changes when filing taxes online

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Oct. 26, 2022 - PRLog -- The Internal Revenue Service announces changes to the tax code each year and here are some changes that will affect this year's tax obligations:

Child Tax Credit Reduction:  The child tax credit was set at $3600 per child in 2021, but has been reduced to $2000 per child in 2022.

Charitable Deductions: A $300 charitable deduction ($600 for married couples) was allowed without itemizing in 2021. This has been eliminated for 2022 and charitable deductions are allowed only if you can itemize.

Dependent Care Credit Changes: Dependent care credits were increased in 2021 for one year to up to $8,000 for 1 child and $16,000 for 2 or more eligible dependents. This has been reduced in 2022 to $3000 for 1 child and $6000 for 2 or more children.

Digital Payments: The IRS will now be requiring digital applications like Venmo, Zelle, and Ebay to name a few to issue 1099-K forms if more than $600 in payments were received (if determined to be business related). The amounts will need to be reported on individual tax forms.

Mortgage Insurance Premiums: These payments will no longer be deductible in 2022.

Single: $12,950 (+400 over 2021)
