JOB LOSS CREATES TAX ISSUES
The IRS says that the loss of a job may create new tax issues. Important information is that Severance pay and unemployment compensation are taxable. Payments for any accumulated vacation or sick time are also taxable. You should ensure that enough taxes are withheld from these payments.
Generally, withdrawals from your pension plan are taxable unless they are transferred to a qualified plan (such as an IRA). If you are under age 59 1⁄2, an additional tax may apply to the taxable portion of your pension. See IRS Publication 575, Pension and Annuity Income, for more information.
Certain expenses incurred while looking for a new job may be deductible. Examples of deductible expenses include employment and outplacement agency fees, resume preparation, and travel expenses for job search and interviews. Moving costs you incur because of a change in your job location may be deductible. You must move more than 50 miles from your old job and work after you move. Moving to retire is not deductible. See IRS Publication 521, Moving Expenses, for more information.
Some displaced workers may decide to start their own business. The IRS provides information and classes for new business owners. Please visit www.irs.gov or see IRS Publication 334, Tax Guide for Small Businesses. The IRS recommends that if you have a small business you consult a tax consultant. This is because they know how complex it can be. Also your tax person can tell you about many of the tax breaks for small business.
