Taxes 2021: Everything New This Year Including Stimulus Payments, Unemployment and More 
Alison DeNisco Rayome, C-net
 

There are more reasons than ever to get started now on your taxes. The IRS will start processing 2020 returns on Feb. 12 -- while still slogging through last year's paperwork in an effort to work through stimulus payments. But stimulus checks aren't the only thing that may shake up your return this year. The IRS has adjusted individual income tax brackets for inflation and, with last year's CARES Act, changed many rules concerning charitable deductions, IRA and 401(k) plans, and student loans.

Interest Rates Remain the Same for the Second Quarter of 2021
The IRS News

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today announced that interest rates will remain the same for the calendar quarter beginning April 1, 2021. The rates will be: 3% for overpayments (2% in the case of a corporation); 0.5% for the portion of a corporate overpayment exceeding $10,000; 3% for underpayments; and 5% for large corporate underpayments. Under the Internal Revenue Code, the rate of interest is determined on a quarterly basis. For taxpayers other than corporations, the overpayment and underpayment rate is the federal short-term rate plus 3 percentage points.
 

I hope you and yours are staying safe and healthy. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at [email protected] or call at (401) 846-4290.

 
Best,
