Are you considering buying a vehicle that you’ll use in your business? If you choose a heavy sport utility vehicle (SUV), you may be able to benefit from lucrative tax rules for those vehicles. New and used heavy SUVs, pickups and vans acquired and put to business use in 2021 are eligible for 100% first-year bonus depreciation. However, you must use the vehicle more than 50% for business. If your business use is between 51% and 99%, you can deduct that percentage of the cost in the first year the vehicle is placed in service. This tax break is available only if the manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating is above 6,000 pounds. Consult with us to help evaluate if this is the right move for your business.

As a business owner, you should know that you can save family income and payroll taxes by putting your child on the payroll. You may be able to turn high-taxed income into tax-free or low-taxed income by shifting some business earnings to a child as wages for services performed. In order for your business to deduct the wages as a business expense, the work done by the child must be legitimate and the child’s salary must be reasonable. You also may be able to achieve Social Security tax savings (depending on how your business is organized) and even make retirement plan contributions for your child. Contact us if you have any questions about the rules in your situation.

COVID-19 has caused widespread furloughs and layoffs. Fortunately, employers that keep workers on their payrolls are eligible for a refundable Employee Retention Tax Credit, which was extended and enhanced in the latest law. Under the CARES Act, the credit only covered wages paid between March 13, 2020, and Dec. 31, 2020. The new law extends the covered wage period to include the first two calendar quarters of 2021. In addition, for the first two quarters of 2021 ending on June 30, the new law increases the overall covered wage ceiling to 70% of qualified wages paid during the applicable quarter (versus 50% under the CARES Act). These are just some of the changes. Contact us with questions.

The Small Business Administration announced that the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) reopened the week of January 11. If you’re fortunate to get a PPP loan to help during the COVID-19 crisis (or you received one last year), you may wonder about the tax consequences. The CARES Act, which passed in March of 2020, didn’t address whether expenses paid with the proceeds of PPP loans could be deducted on tax returns. The IRS took the position that these expenses weren’t deductible. However, the new Consolidated Appropriations Act allows expenses paid from the proceeds of PPP loans to be deducted. Contact us with questions or if you need help with the PPP loan application or forgiveness process.

The COVID-19 relief bill, signed into law on December 27, 2020, contains numerous favorable tax breaks for businesses. For example, the new law includes a provision that removes the 50% limit on deducting business meals provided by restaurants and makes those meals 100% deductible. This rule applies to expenses paid or incurred in calendar years 2021 and 2022. The law also authorizes more money towards the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and extends it to March 31, 2021. In addition, it provides for the deductibility of PPP expenses paid with the loan proceeds. These are just a couple of the business-related provisions in the new law. Contact us if you have questions about your situation.

Unfortunately, COVID-19 has forced many businesses to shut down. If this is your situation, we’re here to assist you in any way we can, including taking care of various tax obligations. A business must file a final income tax return and some other related forms for the year it closes. If you have employees, you must pay them final wages and compensation owed, make final federal tax deposits and report employment taxes. Failure to withhold or deposit employee income, Social Security and Medicare taxes can result in personal liability for what’s known as the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty. There may be other responsibilities. Contact us to discuss these issues and to get answers to any questions.

Owners of closely held corporations often want to withdraw money from their businesses at a low tax cost. The simplest way is to distribute cash as a dividend. However, a dividend distribution isn’t tax-efficient, since it’s taxable to you to the extent of your corporation’s “earnings and profits.” And it’s not deductible by the corporation. But there are alternatives that may allow you to withdraw cash and avoid dividend treatment. For example, you might be able to receive capital repayments, or obtain reasonable compensation for you, as well as certain fringe benefits. Contact us if you’d like to discuss these or other ideas to tax-efficiently get cash out of your corporation.

Oct. 15 is the deadline for individual taxpayers who extended their 2019 tax returns. If you’re finally done filing last year’s return, you might wonder: Which tax records can you toss once you’re done? Now is a good time to go through old tax records and see what you can discard. A common rule of thumb is to keep tax records for at least six years from filing, after which the IRS generally no longer can audit your return or assess additional taxes, even if your income was understated. But hang on to certain records longer including the tax returns themselves, W-2 forms and records related to real estate, investments and retirement accounts.

After filing a 2019 tax return, there may still be three issues to bear in mind. 1) You can check up on your refund. Go to irs.gov and click on “Get Your Refund Status” to find out. 2) Some tax records can now be thrown out. You should generally save statements, receipts, etc. for three years after filing (although keep the actual returns indefinitely). But there are exceptions to this general rule. 3) If you forgot something, you can generally file an amended tax return. File Form 1040X to claim a refund within three years after the date you filed the original return or two years of the date you paid the tax, whichever is later. Contact us for more information.
