NORTH CAROLINA INCOME TAXES

NORTH CAROLINA INCOME TAXES

North Carolina income  taxes differ slightly from the income taxes of the surrounding states.  For instance, North Carolina used to allow taxpayers to take all the itemized deductions that the Federal IRS allowed.  The State of North Carolina made some changes to the Tax Code when the Tax Simplification and Reduction Act was signed into law on July 23, 2014.  The first provision that I noticed was that North Carolina residents are being taxed at a lower rate and being given a higher standard deduction than was normal for previous years.  However, at the same time, the number of itemized deductions was reduced.  Instead of taking all the deductions the Federal IRS allows, North Carolina residents are only allowed three major categories:

  • Charitable contributions
  • Home mortgage interest
  • Real estate taxes
  • Medical and Dental expenses

This means that the standard deduction allowed North Carolina Residents may be larger than the total of the amount you can take as an itemized deduction.  In addition, North Carolina's IRS has changed the rules since 2013.  If you owe taxes in North Carolina, then you need to talk to a Tax Preparer.  The Tax Preparer is required to pass the IRS minimum education requirements every year in order to remain a Tax Preparer.  These individuals are actually at the lowest level of Tax Professional and are not allowed to represent anyone whose tax return was not actually signed by them. However, if you don't know any Tax Preparers, then you should talk to Wealthy Living For Me in Durham, NC.  The people there run a website, called WealthyLivingForMe.com.  If you go to that website, they will be able to refer you to the appropriate Tax Preparation Professional.  Professional Tax Preparation is practiced by more than the Tax Preparers.  There are also accountants and lawyers who deal with taxes on a year-round, professional basis and who will be happy to be around after tax season is over.
