Understanding Personal Accounting
If you have a checking account, regularly balancing it is essential to ensure your records align with your bank statement. Many people reconcile their accounts monthly, but with online banking, you can easily do it daily, especially if you find it hard to keep track of transactions.
Balancing your checkbook helps you identify unrecorded charges in your account. These might include ATM fees, overdraft fees, special transaction fees, or low balance fees if a minimum balance is required. Additionally, it allows you to record credits you may have missed, such as automatic deposits, refunds, or interest earned if your account is interest-bearing.
It's also crucial to check for any errors in your records or those made by the bank.
Another accounting task many dread is filing annual federal income tax returns. While some prefer to use a CPA, others handle it themselves. Most tax forms include the following items:
- Income: This includes any earnings from work or assets, unless there are specific exemptions.
- Personal Exemptions: A portion of your income may be exempt from taxation.
- Standard Deduction: Certain personal or business expenses can be deducted to reduce taxable income. These might include home mortgage interest, charitable donations, and property taxes.
- Taxable Income: The remaining income that is subject to taxes after considering exemptions and deductions.
By understanding and managing these aspects, you can maintain accurate financial records and ensure compliance with tax obligations.
