The LEEG Ledger — Answers to Real Tax Questions
The LEEG Ledger shares real-world insights and answers to common tax questions people face each year, from business taxes and gig worker income to family tax strategy and missed filings.
When "You Don't Have to File" Isn't the Whole Story
Many people are told that because their income is below a certain threshold, the IRS does not require them to file a tax return. So they assume that means they shouldn't file at all. But in some cases, filing a return allows taxpayers to claim credits they qualify for but never receive if they don't file. This is especially common for individuals receiving Social Security, disability income, or pension income.
Lesson: Just because filing isn't required doesn't mean it isn't beneficial. Don't leave money on the table.
It's Just Data
I once worked with a client who hadn't filed taxes for several years after going through a difficult divorce. When the returns were finally prepared, the numbers showed that taxes were owed. I felt uncomfortable delivering the news. But the client calmly reminded me: "It's just data. Data drives decisions."
Lesson: Don't avoid the numbers. Understanding the data allows you to move forward with better decisions.
Self-Employment Doesn't Always Mean Higher Taxes
Many self-employed individuals assume that earning income through a 1099 automatically means they will owe a large amount in taxes. What they often don't realize is that business expenses and deductions can significantly change the picture. When income and expenses are properly documented, the final outcome can look very different from what someone expected.
Lesson: Good recordkeeping isn't just about organization — it can directly affect your tax outcome.
Filing Late Is Usually Fixable
Some people avoid filing taxes because they feel embarrassed about falling behind. They assume that missing a year or two means the situation is beyond repair. In reality, many situations can be corrected once the proper information is gathered and the returns are prepared.
Lesson: Avoiding the issue doesn't make it disappear. Addressing it early creates more options.
Your Business Structure and Your Tax Election Are Not the Same Thing
When starting a business, many people form an LLC to protect their personal assets and separate personal and business finances. However, the legal structure of a business and the way it is taxed are not always the same thing. For example, a single-member LLC typically reports income on Schedule C, but as income grows, the business may elect S-Corporation taxation.
Lesson: Your business structure protects you legally, but your tax election determines how you are taxed.
When Taxes and Credit Collide
Can credit issues affect my ability to buy a home after a tax settlement?
At the beginning of the year, one of my tax clients received a settlement that allowed them to move forward financially and begin thinking about purchasing a home.
However, when we reviewed the full financial picture, it became clear that their credit profile needed attention before qualifying for a mortgage.
By combining thoughtful tax planning, refund timing, and a structured approach to improving credit, the client was able to begin preparing for the financial steps required to purchase a home.
Sometimes the solution isn't just about filing taxes — it's about looking at the full financial picture.
Lesson: Taxes, credit, and long-term financial goals often work together. When addressed strategically, new opportunities can open.
