Four Last Minute Year End Tax Tips As 2022 turns into 2023, we wanted to remind you about some tax deductions that could ease your tax burden. Here are four deductions that you want to be aware of. Charitable Donation Deduction: You may be able to subtract the value of your charitable gifts from your taxable income. Be sure to keep your receipts. IRA Contribution Deduction: You may be able to deduct contributions to a traditional IRA. How much you are allowed to deduct will depend on whether or not you or your spouse is already covered by a work retirement plan. 401(k) Contribution Deduction: A 401(k) is a pre-tax retirement account that is sponsored by employers, however self-employed individuals are allowed to open up their own 401(k). The funds invested in a 401(k) are pre-tax dollars that are exempt from federal taxes. Health Savings Account Contribution Deduction: Contributions to a Health Savings Account are tax-deductible. Withdrawals are tax-free as well as long as you use them for qualified medical expenses. As always, consult your tax professional in order to get the maximum benefit for each of these deductions.

Great job Minding the Gap!!!

Tis the Season for W9’s!!! If you are a small business owner, there are two critical tax forms that you need to be familiar with when working with companies and independent contractors. IRS Form W9 and 1099: The IRS Form W9 captures information that is used to determine if a 1099 will need to be issued to a company or individual (1099s are not required for corporations). The best practice is for a business to obtain a W9 from all companies or individuals before making payments to them. Here are the most common reasons (but not all) for requiring a 1099 to be filed: Paying more than $600 during the year for: Services performed by someone who is not your employee Payments to attorneys (including law firms or other providers of legal services) Rents Collecting the W9s before work is performed will prevent the headache of scrambling to track these forms down at the end of the year. There are hefty penalties for not following the 1099 filing requirements. This process can be quite confusing. If your head is spinning and your small business could use some help, reach out to us today!

Tis the Season for W9’s!!!

Important Tax Due Dates: Do you sometimes wonder when your tax payments and filings are due? Compliance with the IRS should be something on top of every small business owner’s checklist. Missing tax deadlines can be very costly. Not only will you be assessed penalties, but you will also be charged interest for the outstanding balance of taxes and penalties owed. We want to help you stay current by making you aware of some of the most important deadlines. Tax Extension Deadline If you filed a tax extension for 2021 you must file your Tax Return (Form 1040) and pay any taxes due before October 17th. Estimated Tax Payment Schedule The IRS follows a pay-as-you-go system for taxes. If you pay estimated taxes here are the due dates for each quarter. Payment Period​​​​ Due Date January 1 - March 1​​​​ April 15 April 1 – May 31​​​​ June 15 June 1 – August 1​​​​ September 15 September 1 – December 31​​​ January 15 of the following year Employee and Contractor Forms W-2:​ All businesses are required to provide their employees with a Federal Wage and Tax Statement (Form W-2). The annual deadline to file the W-2 form is January 31. Failure to file W-2’s on time will result in penalties of $50 per W-2 provided that you file the correct form within 30 days of the due date. If you file between 30 days of the due date and August 1, the fine increases to $110 per form. Filing after August 1 will result in a $290 fee per W-2. Intentional disregard to file results in a $580 fee per form. In other words, get them filed on time! 1099:​ If you hired independent contractors during the previous tax year, you will need to issue that contractor a Form 1099-NEC by January 31. The same penalties and deadlines that apply for filing W-2’s also apply to filing 1099’s. We hope that you find this information helpful. If your business is needing help with your accounting processes, do not hesitate to reach out to Nicholson Business Services LLC. We have a solution!

Happy Labor Day! Take this time to relax and recharge.

School is Back in Session…Should I Consider a 529? What is a 529? A 529 plan is a tax-advantaged education savings account. Most are sponsored by educational institutions, state agencies, or the individual state. They offer great tax benefits and are a very popular investment strategy to help save for higher education. What are the benefits of a 529? Most states offer some sort of tax benefit for making 529 contributions. Typically, those benefits include receiving a tax deduction on state income taxes or a matching grant opportunity. The earnings on the investment are tax free and will grow for as long as your money is invested. The maximum allowable annual contribution varies from state to state, so be sure to understand your state’s 529 rules. Can 529’s only be used for college tuition? 529’s do not have to be used exclusively for college tuition. Funds can be used to pay for books, room and board, and other qualified expenses at any accredited vocational school, college, university, and grad school in the United States and abroad. Furthermore, some states allow for the assets to be used toward K-12 tuition at private or religious schools. What if my child does not go to college can I change the beneficiary? If your child chooses not to go to college, you are allowed to change the 529’s beneficiary. As long as the new beneficiary is a family member, the funds can be used without penalties. We hope that you have found this information helpful. 529 plans can be a great tool to help you save for your child’s college education. Be sure that you are familiar with the guidelines for the particular state that you reside in. As always, if your small business is in need of accounting solutions, we would be glad to help.
