Summertime is often wedding
time. If you or someone in your family got married this summer (or is
planning a wedding soon), remember to take care of a few taxing
details.
If your address
changes, send a change of address to the IRS, your bank and broker, and
any current-year employers. Then your W-2s, year-end tax information,
and IRS correspondence will get to you.
Check your withholding for 2009 to see whether marriage
makes changes necessary. The marriage penalty has not been compleley eliminated, and you might find yourself
facing a big tax bill and penalties if you don't take care of this
matter.
If
your name changes, notify the Social Security Administration.
Update
your will and other estate planning documents, and review beneficiary
designations on IRAs, 401(k)s, and life
insurance policies.
