MÁS DE DOS MILLONES DE ITINS VENCEN ESTE AÑO; RENUEVE PRONTO Y EVITE RETRASOS EN REEMBOLSOS

Con más de dos millones de Números de Identificación Personal del Contribuyente (ITIN) que expiran a fines de 2018, el Servicio de Impuestos Internos urgió hoy a los contribuyentes afectados a que presenten sus solicitudes de renovación pronto para evitar retrasos en los reembolsos el próximo año.
En el tercer año del programa de renovación, el IRS ha aumentado la cantidad de personal para manejar el flujo anticipado de solicitudes W-7 para la renovación. Se espera que esta tercera ola de ITINs vencidos afecte a 2.7 millones de contribuyentes. Para ayudar a los contribuyentes, el proceso de renovación para 2019 comenzará más temprano que el año pasado.
“Se inicia la de presentación de impuestos de 2019, el IRS alienta a los contribuyentes afectados por los cambios del ITIN a tomar pasos lo antes posible para prepararse para las declaraciones del próximo año,” dijo David Kautter, Comisionado Interino del IRS. “Actuar ahora para renovar sus ITINs ayudará a los contribuyentes a evitar demoras que podrían afectar su presentación de impuestos y reembolsos en 2019. El IRS aprecia la ayuda de grupos socios a través de la nación al compartir esta información con aquellos que tienen ITINs próximos a expirar.”
Bajo la Ley de Protección de los Estadounidenses contra Aumentos de Impuestos (PATH), los ITINs que no se han usado en una declaración de impuestos federales al menos una vez en los últimos tres años consecutivos vencerán el 31 de diciembre de 2018. Además, los ITINs con dígitos medios 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 81 y 82 también vencerán a fin de año. Los contribuyentes afectados que esperan presentar una declaración de impuestos en 2019 deben presentar una solicitud de renovación lo antes posible.
Aquellas personas que tienen la obligación de presentación de impuestos o de informar sus ingresos bajo la ley de los EE. UU. pero no son elegibles para un número de seguro social (SSN) necesitan un ITIN. Los titulares de ITINs deben visitar la página de información de ITIN en IRS.gov y tomar unos minutos para entender las pautas.
Una vez más, el IRS está lanzando un esfuerzo educativo a nivel nacional para compartir información con los titulares de ITINs. Para ayudar a los contribuyentes, el IRS ofrece una variedad de materiales informativos, incluidas hojas de datos, disponibles en varios idiomas en IRS.gov.
El IRS continuará trabajando con grupos de socios y otros miembros de la comunidad de ITIN para compartir información acerca de estos cambios importantes.

¿Quién debe renovar un ITIN?

  • Contribuyentes cuyos ITINs expiran y necesitan presentar una declaración de impuestos en 2019. Otros no necesitan tomar ninguna acción. Los ITINs con dígitos medios 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 81 y 82 (por ejemplo: 9NN-73-NNNN) necesitan renovarse aún si el contribuyente lo ha usado en los últimos tres años. A principios de verano, el IRS comenzará a enviar el Aviso CP-48, Debe renovar su Número de Identificación Personal del Contribuyente (ITIN) para presentar su declaración de impuestos de los EE. UU., a los contribuyentes afectados. El aviso explica los pasos a seguir para renovar el ITIN si se incluirá en una declaración de impuestos presentada en 2019. Los contribuyentes que reciben el aviso después de tomar medidas para renovar su ITIN no necesitan tomar medidas adicionales a menos que otro miembro de la familia se vea afectado.
     
  • ITINs con dígitos medios de 70, 71, 72, 78, 79 y 80 han expirado previamente. Los contribuyentes con estos ITINs aún pueden renovar en cualquier momento.
     
  • Los cónyuges o dependientes que residen dentro de los Estados Unidos deben renovar sus ITINs. Sin embargo, los cónyuges y dependientes que residan fuera de los EE. UU. no necesitan renovar sus ITINs a menos que anticipen que se les reclame para un beneficio tributario (por ejemplo, después de que se muden a los EE. UU.) o que presenten su propia declaración de impuestos. Esto se debe a que la deducción por exenciones personales se suspende para los años fiscales 2018 a 2025 por la Ley Empleos y Reducción de Impuestos. En consecuencia, los cónyuges o dependientes fuera de los EE. UU. que hubieran sido reclamados para este beneficio de exención personal y ningún otro beneficio no necesitan renovar sus ITINs este año.

La opción familiar continúa disponible

Los contribuyentes con un ITIN que tiene dígitos medios 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 81 u 82, así como todos los ITINs que expiraron anteriormente, tienen la opción de renovar los ITINs para toda su familia al mismo tiempo. Aquellos que han recibido una carta de renovación del IRS pueden elegir renovar los ITINs de la familia juntos, incluso si los miembros de la familia tienen un ITIN con dígitos medios que no han sido identificados para su vencimiento. Los miembros de la familia incluyen el declarante de impuestos, el cónyuge y los dependientes reclamados en la declaración de impuestos.

Cómo renovar un ITIN

Para renovar un ITIN, los contribuyentes deben llenar el Formulario W-7 y presentar toda la documentación requerida. Aunque el Formulario W-7 usualmente se incluye con la declaración de impuestos, los contribuyentes no tienen la necesidad de incluir una declaración a una de estas solicitudes de renovación de ITIN. Sin embargo, los contribuyentes aún deben incluir una razón para necesitar un ITIN en el Formulario W-7. Consulte las instrucciones del Formulario W-7 para obtener información detallada.
Hay tres maneras de presentar el paquete de solicitud W-7:
  • Envíe el Formulario W-7, junto con documentos de identificación, originales o copias certificadas por la agencia emisora, a la dirección del IRS indicada en las instrucciones del Formulario W-7. El IRS revisará los documentos de identificación y los devolverá en un plazo de 60 días.
     
  • Los contribuyentes tienen la opción de trabajar con Agentes Tramitadores Certificados (CAA, por sus siglas en inglés), autorizados por el IRS para ayudarles a solicitar un ITIN. Los CAAs pueden certificar todos los documentos de identificación para contribuyentes primarios y secundarios y certificar que una solicitud de ITIN está correcta antes de presentarla al IRS para su procesamiento. Un CAA también puede certificar pasaportes y certificados de nacimiento para dependientes. Esto evita que los contribuyentes envíen documentos originales al IRS.
     
  • Por adelantado, los contribuyentes pueden llamar y hacer una cita en un Centro de Asistencia al Contribuyente del IRS (en inglés) en lugar de enviar documentos originales de identificación al IRS. Los solicitantes deben traer un Formulario W-7 completo junto con todos los documentos de identificación requeridos. Consulte la página de autenticación de ITIN en TAC(en inglés) para obtener más detalles.

Evite errores comunes y retrasos el próximo año

Se procesarán las declaraciones de impuestos federales que se envíen en 2019 con un ITIN vencido. Sin embargo, se rechazarán ciertos créditos tributarios y cualquier exención. Los contribuyentes recibirán una notificación por correo informándoles acerca del cambio en su declaración de impuestos y su necesidad de renovar su ITIN. Una vez que se renueve el ITIN, se restablecerán los créditos y exenciones aplicables y se emitirán los reembolsos.
Además, varios errores comunes pueden retrasar algunas solicitudes de renovación de ITIN.
Los errores generalmente se centran en la falta de información y/o documentación insuficiente de apoyo, como los cambios de nombre. El IRS le recomienda a cualquier solicitante que revise cuidadosamente su formulario antes de enviarlo al IRS.
Como recordatorio, el IRS ya no acepta pasaportes sin una fecha de entrada en los Estados Unidos como un documento de identificación independiente para dependientes de un país que no sea Canadá o México, o dependientes de personal militar estadounidense en el extranjero. El pasaporte del dependiente debe tener una fecha de sello de entrada, de lo contrario se requieren los siguientes documentos adicionales para probar la residencia en los EE. UU.:
  • Archivos médicos de los EE. UU. para dependientes menores de 6 años,
  • Archivos escolares de los EE. UU. para dependientes menores de 18 años, y
  • Archivos escolares de los EE. UU. (si es estudiante), facturas de alquiler, estados de cuenta bancarios o facturas de servicios públicos que indiquen el nombre del solicitante y la dirección en los EE. UU., si es mayor de 18
     

El IRS continúa aceptando solicitudes para el Programa de Agentes Tramitadores

Para aumentar la disponibilidad de los servicios de ITIN en todo el país, particularmente en comunidades con un alto uso de ITIN, el IRS está reclutando agentes tramitadores certificados y aceptando solicitudes durante todo el año. Se alienta a las personas interesadas a revisar todos los cambios y requisitos del programa CAA y presentar una solicitud para convertirse en un Agente Tramitador Certificado.

Some S corporations may want to convert to C corporations

After last year’s tax reform legislation, some S corporations may choose to revoke their S election to be a C corporation because of the new, flat 21-percent C corporation tax rate. Before taking any action, S corporations should consult their tax advisors.
S Corporations and C Corporations are among the types of business structures. A C corporation is taxed on its earnings, and then the shareholder is taxed when earnings are distributed as dividends. S corporations elect to pass corporate income, losses, deductions and credits through to their shareholders for federal tax purposes. Shareholders of S corporations report the pass-through of income and losses on their personal tax returns and are assessed tax at their individual income tax rates. This allows S corporations to avoid double taxation on the corporate income. S corporations are responsible for tax on certain built-in gains and passive income at the entity level.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act includes two changes that affect a corporation’s revocation of an S election to be a C corporation:
  • The corporation should report net adjustments attributable to the revocation over six years. For more information see Revenue Procedure 2018-44.
  • Distributions of cash following the post-termination transition period may be treated as coming out of the corporation’s accumulated adjustments account and accumulated earnings and profits proportionally resulting in part of the distributions being non-dividend distributions from the C corporation. The non-dividend distributions may not be subject to tax at the shareholder level if the shareholder has sufficient stock basis. Additional guidance will be coming.
These law changes only apply to a C corporation that:
  • Was an S corporation on December 21, 2017,
  • Revokes its S corporation election after December 21, 2017, but before December 22, 2019, and
  • Has the same owners of stock in identical proportions on the date of revocation and on December 22, 2017.

For more information, see the Corporate Methods of Accounting topic on the Tax Reform – Businesses page.

A payroll is a company's list of its employees, but the term is commonly used to refer to: the total amount of money that a company pays to its employees a company's records of its employees' salaries and wages, bonuses, and withheld taxes the company's department that calculates funds and pays these.[1] Payroll in the sense of "money paid to employees" plays a major role in a company for several reasons. From an accounting perspective, payroll is crucial because payroll and payroll taxes considerably affect the net income of most companies and because they are subject to laws and regulations (e.g. in the US, payroll is subject to federal, state, and local regulations). From a human resources viewpoint, the payroll department is critical because employees are sensitive to payroll errors and irregularities: Good employee morale requires payroll to be paid timely and accurately. The primary mission of the payroll department is to ensure that all employees are paid accurately and timely with the correct withholdings and deductions, and that the withholdings and deductions are remitted in a timely manner. This includes salary payments, tax withholdings, and deductions from paychecks.

Tax Reform Basics for Individuals and Families

Major tax reform that affects both individuals and businesses was enacted in December 2017. It’s commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, TCJA or tax reform. The IRS estimates that we will need to create or revise more than 400 taxpayer forms, instructions and publications for the filing season starting in 2019. It’s more than double the number of forms we would create or revise in a typical year. The IRS collaborates with the tax professional community, industry, and tax software partners each year as we implement changes to the tax law, including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, to ensure that our shared customer – you, the taxpayer - has information about how the law applies to your particular situation and you are prepared to file. Using tax preparation software is the best and simplest way to file a complete and accurate tax return. The software guides you through the process and does all the math. Electronic filing options include IRS Free File for taxpayers who qualify, Free File Fillable Forms for all taxpayers, commercial software, and professional assistance. The IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and the Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs offer free tax help and e-file for taxpayers who qualify. This publication covers some of the provisions of the TCJA. It provides information for you and your family to help you understand, take action - if necessary - and comply with your federal tax return filing requirements. It is not intended to replace or supersede IRS tax forms, instructions or other official guidance. The official IRS.gov website includes a Tax Reform page that highlights what you need to know about the tax law changes. This page also provides links to news releases, publications, notices, and legal guidance related to the legislation. IRS.gov/getready has information about steps you can take now to get a jump on next year’s taxes including how the new tax law may affect you

Federal income tax withholding may need adjustment

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act changed the way taxable income is calculated and reduced the tax rates on that income. The IRS had to address and make changes to income tax withholding in response to the new law as soon as possible after it passed. This issue affects every taxpayer who receives a paycheck. The U.S. tax system operates on a pay-as-you-go basis. Taxpayers must generally pay at least 90 percent of their taxes throughout the year through withholding, estimated or additional tax payments or a combination of the two. THIS MEANS THAT…you need to pay most of your tax during the year, as the income is earned or received. If you don’t, you may owe an estimated tax penalty when you file
For employees, income tax withholding is the amount of federal income tax withheld from your paycheck. The amount of income tax your employer withholds from your regular pay depends on two things: „ The amount you earn. „ The information you give your employer on Form W–4, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate. The IRS issued new withholding tables for 2018 to reflect the changes in tax rates and tax brackets, the increased standard deduction and the suspension of personal exemptions, among other things. The IRS also reissued withholding tables, which show payroll service providers and employers how much tax to withhold from employee paychecks, taking into account each employee’s wages, marital status, and the number of withholding allowances they claim. The IRS also modified Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate, which is the IRS form that employees provide to their employers, so that the employer may determine the amount of federal income tax to withhold from the employees’ paychecks. The form helps employees adjust withholding based on their personal circumstances, such as whether they have children or a spouse who is also working. The IRS recommends employees check their withholding any time their personal or financial information changes. The Form W-4 relates to an employee’s federal income tax withholding. State income tax withholding is separate. THIS MEANS THAT…You should have started seeing withholding changes in your paycheck around the end of February 2018. The exact timing depends on when your employer made the change and how often you are paid. You still need to check your withholding and make sure it is correct so there is no surprise at tax filing time. Just as the amount of your withholding has changed based upon the change in tax rates, you may also need to adjust your withholding or make estimated or additional tax payments due to other changes in the tax law. You should review your withholding in 2018 and make adjustments if there is still time this year. Review your withholding again, early in 2019 to make sure you don’t have too little or too much withheld from your paychecks next year. To help with this, the IRS issued a new Withholding Calculator and updated Form W-4 to help you check and update your withholding with your employer, if necessary. You can use the Withholding Calculator to estimate your income tax. The Withholding Calculator compares that estimate to your current tax withholding and can help you decide if you need to change your withholding with your employer. The new withholding tables were designed to produce the right amount of withholding for people with simple tax situations. Some people have more complicated tax situations and face the possibility of not having enough income tax withheld by their employer. If not enough tax is withheld by your employer, you could have an unexpected tax bill and even a penalty when you file your return next year. More information on the withholding tables is available in the IRS Withholding Tables Frequently Asked Questions page

Changes in Tax Rates 2018

For 2018, most tax rates have been reduced. This means most people will pay less tax starting this year. The
2018 tax rates are 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and 37%.
In addition, for 2018, the tax rates and brackets for the unearned income of a child have changed and are no
longer affected by the tax situation of the child’s parents. The new tax rates applicable to a child’s unearned
income of more than $2,550 are 24%, 35%, and 37%.
In addition to lowering the tax rates, some of the changes in the law that affect you and your family include
increasing the standard deduction, suspending personal exemptions, increasing the child tax credit, and limiting
or discontinuing certain deductions.
Most of the changes in this legislation take effect in 2018 for federal tax returns filed in 2019. It is important that
individual taxpayers consider what the TCJA means and make adjustments in 2018 and 2019.
