THE BEST SAN FRANCISCO TAX PREPARATION FOR INDIVIDUALS MITIGATES INFLATION IMPACT FOR 2022

Here is the background on this release. The U.S. government is preparing for inflation by making cost-of-living adjustments to the tax system in 2022.  Social security and supplemental security income (SSI) benefits will increase by 5.9 percent. The FICA and OASDI taxes will also increase for the coming year. Earnings subject to social security tax will rise to $147,000. A rise in the cost of living adjustments or COLA can equate to a tax increase for Bay Area residents and businesses. Early tax planning could help lessen the impact and stave off costly mistakes for the 2022 tax season. A team of San Francisco tax preparation experts can help individuals mitigate the rise in costs and remain compliant during potential inflation.
