Founder and CEO of Auer Tax Group, author and Premier Tax Expert, David Auer, reminds taxpayers of three often overlooked instances that must be reported on tax returns.

Tulsa, Oklahoma – January 28, 2016 –  David Auer, recognized Premier Tax Expert and Founder/CEO of Auer Tax Group posted a new blog on the company website entitled “Consider Children, IRA/Roth Contributions and Gift Tax Returns.”

Auer writes, “Here we are at the start of the 2015 tax season with a little time to catch our breath after the dizzying comings and goings of the holiday season.” He continues adding, “While you are taking a few moments before gearing up for the frenzy of tax time, take a few moments to consider the following areas that often get overlooked at tax time to determine whether any may apply to you.”

Addressing the topic of whether a child needs to file a return, Auer states, “They’ll need to file if wages exceeded $6,300, self-employment income was over $400, or investment income exceeded $1,050.” In addition he writes, “When income includes both wages and investment income, other thresholds apply.”

On the topic of contributing to a Roth or IRA, Roth says, “Since you have until April 18 to make a 2015 contribution (April 19 if you live in Maine or Massachusetts), you can schedule an amount to set aside from each paycheck for the next few months.”

Regarding a gift tax, according to Auer, “You may need to file a return if you gave gifts totaling more than $14,000 to someone other than your spouse.”
