U.S. Tax Filing Made Simple

If you are a Korean American living in the United States, the April 15th tax deadline can feel overwhelming. TPT Tax professionals break it down clearly for you.

1. W-2 vs. 1099 Forms

Employees receive a W-2 form, while freelancers and independent contractors receive a 1099 form. Both are essential documents for reporting annual income to the IRS.

2. Standard Deduction vs. Itemized Deductions

For 2024, the standard deduction is $14,600 for individuals and $29,200 for married couples filing jointly. Itemizing may benefit you if deductions exceed this amount.
