Starting a Family
Kids are expensive! Luckily the government has included some fantastic ways to reduce your taxes. These benefits have changed drastically over the last few years, so be sure to discuss all of the changes and new potential tax savings with your tax guru.
Filing status
If you are single and you provide more than half of the cost of your child’shome, then you may be able to change your filing status to head of household. That would give you a bigger standard deduction and allow you to pay tax at a lower rate.
Employer tax withholding
An extra dependent can lower your tax bill. Avoid overpaying the government and ask your employer to file a new W-4 form. Click here to link directly to the IRS’s new withholding tax calculator app to make sure that you are maximizing your take home pay. The app can be confusing, so work with your tax advisor if you have questions on how to properly fill out these new forms.

Earned Income Credit
Child Care Credit
Child career imbursement account
