Tax and Other News
Tax Season is here! There are many changes in the tax law for 2022 tax returns. Many of the changes eliminate the extra deductions and credits available last year due to the pandemic.
Taxpayers with children will see big changes on their 2022 returns - the child tax credit and the child and dependent care credit are lower for 2022 tax returns. This could substantially reduce refunds.
