Recently Married Bradenton Taxpayers

If you got married during the tax year or plan to, there are a few things you should do to avoid problems at tax time.  If you are a newlywed, here are a few things to keep in mind:

- Report any name changes to the Social Security Administration so your name and social security number will match when you file your tax return.  File out Form SS-5-Application for a Social Security Card.  The form is available on socialsecurity.gov, local offices, or by calling (800)772-1213.

- If you and your spouse work, your combined income may place you in a higher tax bracket.  You can use the IRS Withholding Calculator available on IRS.gov to help you in determining the correct withholding for your new filing status.  If the amount of tax withheld needs to be changed, you will need to complete a W-4 – Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate, which is also available on IRS.gov.

- Be sure to notify the IRS, your employer, and the US Postal Service of any address changes in Bradenton or Sarasota.
