Tax Tips: Earned Income Tax Credit 2011

Question: Online calculator to optimize 2010 W4 withholdings?

My husband and I get back around $5,000 federal refund every year, and around $1,500 State, even though he already has a high number of exemptions (I have been home since having my baby last year and am only making a small amount doing childcare). Between tithe to church, interest on our condo, property taxes, 401K, insurance and other deductions, 40% of his income is gone before we touch it (another 25% to federal, state, etc. taxes).

I’m hoping to optimize his W4 at the beginning of 2010, so we can have that money on a monthly basis, rather than letting the government earn interest off of our money until they refund it. The IRS has one for the remainder of 2009, but I can’t find one I can use to estimate the right number of exemptions for next year. Does anyone know of a website where I could put in forecast numbers to get an idea of the number of exemptions he should put?

Answer: You can adjust your W-4 any time during the year, so go ahead and use the current IRS calculator. When they update the calculator, re-run the numbers and adjust if needed.

Question: Student loan interest deduction causing negative adjusted gross income?

Hi, I am in my 20’s and I’m a student first time filing my 2009 taxes. I worked one week, and earned 760. I paid 5000 in student loan interest and the IRS allows students to claim up to 2500 student loan interest deduction. So if i enter 2500, my adjusted gross income is -1740 (adjusted gross income) and my effective tax rate is 0%. If i leave out the student loan interest deduction, the effective tax rate is -7.76%. My federal tax refund is the same $186 whether i input my paid student loan interest or not. Should i take out or enter the student loan interest deduction? It doesn’t seem to look good to have a negative adjusted gross income. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
