September 8th, 2010 darlees Posted in Tax Deductions | 1 Comment »

I bought a 2009 Potiac G6 in May of 2009 so I qualify for the New Car Tax deduction (NOT talking about Cash for Clunkers here). I make a good wage for a single person but never end up having to pay in additonally at the end of the year for taxes and always have gotten a tax return. How will this tax deduction work for me? Will I just get a larger return?

How to avoid capital gains from a stock spilt?

September 7th, 2010 darlees Posted in Capital Gains | 5 Comments »

I own stock expected to spilt later this year. Is there any way to avoid paying capital gains if I move the funds non-stock based investment? My concern is the stability of the stock market as I approach retirement age in the next 10-12 years. I would most like the money in an FDIC insured account of some type.
This spilt is associated with an IPO and I expect my gain to be 2-6 times my current portfolio value. What is the maximum capital gains liability?
My desire as stated is to move the money from a stock-based investment into something more secure as I approach my retirement.
This is not my only funds for retirement, I have a 401K. It is a windfall from my company going public and I want to shelter as much as possible legally from tax and move into another form of investment for retirement to diversify my holdings.

Small Business Tax Tips

September 5th, 2010 darlees Posted in Home and Small Business Tax | No Comments »

Any small business owner knows that they may live or die by the financial decisions that they make. While many cut corners by making prudent purchase decisions, few realize the opportunities that are available to them when it comes to working out the taxes for their business. In this article, we’ll give you some tips to help you realize the best ways to optimize your taxes.

- One interesting write-off that many small business owners fail to realize is their health insurance. The taxing laws dictate that self employed people may write off a full sixty percent of their health insurance costs, saving them potentially thousands of dollars. In addition, medical savings accounts can be set up and the contributions made up until April 17th are considered by the IRS.

- When considering employees for your business, think family first. If there are people in your family that can help you to operate the business, you can allow them to take on some of the income of the business, allowing you to put your earnings into lower tax brackets, assuming the relative performs some type of service to the business.

- Another aspect often neglected by uninformed small business owners is the prospect of a retirement fund. You can contribute to a qualified self retirement fund which is completely tax deductible in your returns.

- The first year expense limitation for any small business is now $19,000. Don’t forget to write off any business-related practices, including taking potential clients to lunch, or golfing, or whatever situation may merit as an expense. One technique often employed when it comes to lessening the taxes that you face is to buy supplies that you know that the office will need in the coming year early so that you can write them off. While it’s not a permanent solution, it can defer the damage your taxes do to you.

Keeping track of your financial records and keeping a clear separation between expenses made for yourself and those made for your business can really ease your struggle come tax time. Being organized and having a plan can save you both time and all-important money.
