Q: How quickly can I get money at Colbert/Ball Tax Service?

Q: I need to change my withholding. How do I update my personal information?
A: Use Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate . If you get married or divorced, if a child is born, or if you no longer can claim a child as your dependent, you will need to complete a new Form W-4. When you begin to work at a new company, your employer must give you a Form W-4 to complete. You can also request a Form W-4 from your employer at any time to reflect a change in your tax situation.

Q: What is the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and am I eligible?
A: The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is applicable to low-income workers who may or may not have a qualifying child, or children, living with them. If you can take the EITC, then it is subtracted from the tax owed. The credit can be refunded even if you don't owe any tax. If you have a qualifying child and your earned income and adjusted gross income (AGI) are each less than:

•    $43,998 ($49,078 married filing jointly) with three or more qualifying children
•    $40,964 ($46,044 married filing jointly) with two qualifying children
•    $36,052 ($41,132 married filing jointly) with one qualifying child
•    $13,660 ($18,740 married filing jointly) with no qualifying children

If you have been denied credit, would like to lower your interest rates, or would simply like to remove inaccurate information from your credit reports, our service can help.  As a consumer, you already know that low credit scores can have a negative impact in your financial life. They may prevent you from obtaining needed credit such as a mortgage, school or car loan, or they may cost you a great deal of money in higher interest payments on loans, credit cards and insurance. Employers may also use your credit score as a basis for employment.  Conversely, the higher your credit score the better your chances are of obtaining credit and loans at the best possible interest rates.
