Tax Season is the period of the year where taxpayers prepare to make the previous year's reports in the United States. All taxpayers should submit their annual tax return by April 15, 2019. During the Tax Season companies must provide tax documents specifying the data needed to complete their statements to their employees, contractors and others. This is a busy time for all US accounting rms. The period of three and a half months earlier in the year is the time when the necessary documentation, including earnings statements (such as 1099s or W-2s), is collected. We at Dominium Consulting Services have all the necessary knowledge to help with this process and we emphasize the importance of doing your Tax with a reputed company and qualiied professionals who are prepared to meet the demand of each client in bettering the nancial result of the tax return. According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), a taxpayer who has had a balance of more than $ 10,000 dollars during any day of the year must report on your statement through the FBAR. For independent contractors, or what the IRS refers to as "non-employee compensation" taxes on any gain over $ 600 must be paid. The Employers are expected to provide their employees with a form called W-2. Companies hiring independent service providers will have to give 1099-MISC, which will include information on the provider's income services. The IRS informs that all taxpayers must keep a copy of their tax returns for at least three years, because in the case of an IRS audit, the taxpayer will be able to submit those documents. In extreme cases, as suspected fraud, documents of up to seven years. See below the dates for the report of Tax for individuals and companies, and count on the Dominium Consulting Service to help with your Tax, safely and reliably.

Across the U.S., buying a home is cheaper than renting in the majority of housing markets, , according to the 2018 Rental Affordability Report from ATTOM Data Solutions, a multi-sourced property database.

Buying a median-priced home is more affordable than renting a three-bedroom property in 240 out of the 447 U.S. counties analyzed in the report, or in 54% of counties. In the latest Rent vs. Buy Report from Trulia, they explained that homeownership remains cheaper than renting with a traditional 30-year fixed rate mortgage throughout the 100 largest metro areas in the United States. The updated numbers actually show that the range is from an average of 16% in Honolulu (HI), all the way to 55% in Sarasota (FL), and 35% Nationwide!

The other interesting findings in the report include: • Interest rates have remained low and even though home prices have appreciated around the country (3.9%), they haven’t greatly outpaced rental appreciation (3.7%). “In the past year, these two trends have made homeownership even more affordable compared with renting.” • Some markets might tip in favor of renting if home prices increase at a greater rate than rents and if – as most economists expect – mortgage rates rise, due to the strengthening economy. • Nationally, rates would have to rise to 10.6% for renting to be cheaper than buying – and rates haven’t been that high since 1989. Bottom Line Buying a home makes sense socially and financially. Rents are predicted to increase substantially in the next year, so lock in your housing cost with a mortgage payment now.

Financing real estate easily and saFely

With every passing day, foreigners show more and more interest in acquiring real estate in the United States. Florida is considered an ideal place for anyone who wants to buy a vacation home or an investment property, or even just to retire. In fact, the region was voted one of the real estate markets with the greatest potential in the United States due to the daily increase of real estate values and sales. However, at the time of the purchase, only a small portion of potential buyers can pay the cash value of the home, especially when coming from a country with a currency that is devalued against the dollar. It is at this moment that the mortgage option comes in, that is, the mortgage credit. What many potential buyers do not know, however, is that financing options are available for foreigners

and, often times, can be more advantageous for the buyer than a traditional cash sale. For some people, the word “financing” scares them. In addition to not having to have the full amount of cash on hand immediately, there are some additional ways to use the value of property that will be purchased, such as a renting it as a vacation homes for example, to help generate money to pay the back the outstanding debt of the same property. Yet, in other cases when people wish to have fixed housing in the United States, it is much more advantageous to pay for their own “rent” rather than renting to third parties. The mortgage broker, Dwight Kleine, is associated with the financial company EquitiFirst Mortgage and specializes in the subject of cred-

it for foreigners. He has partnerships with more than 30 banks, many of them which offer financing options for foreigners. Using these relationships, it is possible to finance a home with a minimum down payment of 30% and interest rate according to the buyer’s profile and documentation presented. “The process is much simpler than people realize. The goal is to capture the profile of each client and fit in with one of the partner banks that can offer the best conditions and interest rates, “ explains the broker. It is of the utmost importance that the search for the next to the property is made along with the search for financing options; the future buyer should look for a reliable mortgage broker experienced in the local market and able to carry a financing pre-qualification. This is the first step in the process when the person interested in buying a property delivers the documents required to verify the credit in American banks. Typically, this will require: • Application form; • Copy of valid passport and visa; • Business card; • The last two years of Income Tax; • The last two salary receipts; • Income verification - letter from employer or accountant; • Last two months of bank statements (Current, Savings and / or Investments).

With the pre-qualification statement in hand, the customer will know their purchasing power and can start the property searching process safely. With the help of Dwight Kleine, it is much easier for you to achieve your dream of owning real estate in the United States, without having to worry about anything, since he takes care of everything for you. In addition, his customers do not even need to be in Orlando to begin their pre-qualification. Currently, all documents can be sent via email and all inquiries can be taken by phone or video conference.
