December 2 - Time for Year-End Tax Planning

December is the month to take final actions that can affect your tax result for 2019. Taxpayers with substantial increases or decreases in income, changes in marital status or dependent status, and those who sold property during 2019 should call for a tax planning consultation appointment.

December 10 - Report Tips to Employer

If you are an employee who works for tips and received more than $20 in tips during November, you are required to report them to your employer on IRS Form 4070 no later than December 10. Your employer is required to withhold FICA taxes and income tax withholding for these tips from your regular wages. If your regular wages are insufficient to cover the FICA and tax withholding, the employer will report the amount of the uncollected withholding in box 12 of your W-2 for the year. You will be required to pay the uncollected withholding when your return for the year is filed.
