Many single moms don’t realize they can use the Head of Household
filing status instead of Single status.
Head of Household standard deduction
and tax rate schedule are the second lowest after Married Filing Jointly
and Qualifying Widow. Higher standard deduction amount means less
income is subject to taxes, and a lower tax rate means less taxes.
Lower taxes equals a higher refund.
Daycare is expensive and as a single parent one of your highest
priorities. There is a tax break for all or part of your taxes though.
First, use your company’s daycare flex spending account. This account
allows you to use up to $5,000 a year of your income before taxes to pay
for your daycare. Then you can use any remaining expense, up to $6,000
total spent, for a tax credit when you have more than two children in
daycare. This is a total win-win when it comes to reducing your taxes
and taking care of your most precious commodity.
Let’s not forget the Child Tax Credits.
