🎁 TaxAce Tax Tip: Wondering If Your Business Gifts Are Deductible? Absolutely! Here's the scoop:

You can deduct part or all of the costs of business gifts, but there's a catch.
✅The deduction is capped at $25 per person during your tax year.
✅If you and your spouse both give gifts to the same person, it's treated as one taxpayer.
✅Incidental costs like engraving, packing, or shipping don't count in the $25 limit if they don't substantially increase the gift's value.
✅Gifts costing $4.00 or less with your permanently engraved business name, distributed regularly, are an exception.

🚫 Keep in mind that anything considered both a gift & entertainment is treated as entertainment and isn't deductible.

📚 Important: Maintain records proving the business purpose and the amount spent on the gifts. 💼💡 💼💡 Want to discover more deductions that will help you save during the festive season? Call or email us to schedule your consultation!

💡 Did you know that Innocent Spouse Relief can rescue you from tax debt caused by your spouse's misdeeds or fraud? 🤔This relief is tailored to help those who were unfairly victimized by a partner's wrongdoing. Qualify for it, and you could wave goodbye to your tax worries! 🚀

📊 Tax Myth Busted: 🚫 Extension On Tax Filing ≠ Extension To Pay Taxes! 🚫 Yes, it's FALSE indeed! Here's why:

While filing extensions grant more⏰ time to submit returns, they don't delay your tax payment. When you file for an extension, you're requesting additional time for paperwork, not postponing your tax liability. Clear your mind of misconceptions & stay informed! 💼

💡 The IRS expects timely payments, and any outstanding amount beyond the original deadline may incur interest and penalties 💸(terms & conditions apply). If you think you need to learn more about your taxes & need assistance in preparation & filing, please do not hesitate to contact us. Remember, we're always here to help & guide you every step of the way on your tax journey. 📆

💡Unveiling the New Landscape: Proposed regulations from the Department of the Treasury & the IRS are reshaping the terrain for deductions on charitable conservation contributions. With a focus on curbing tax evasion through intricate partnership structures & overvalued easements, these regulations aim to distinguish genuine conservation efforts from retail tax shelters. 🌳💰

New tax regulations alert! 🚨 The SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022 brings changes for partnerships & S corporations making conservation contributions after Dec 29, 2022. The proposed rules cover disallowances, calculation methods, exceptions, & reporting.

They set limits on deductions, preventing amounts exceeding 2.5 times each partner's or shareholder's relevant basis. Exceptions apply, including family partnerships & contributions held for over three years. Updates cover substantiation and reporting rules. 📈✅

🌟 Plan for your future & enjoy Tax Benefits! 💰 The IRS is reminding low- & moderate-income earners about the chance to save for retirement now & potentially earn a special tax credit in 2024 and beyond.

💳 The Saver's Credit offsets part of the first $2,000 contributed to IRAs, 401(k)s, & similar retirement plans. Whether you're contributing to a retirement account or an ABLE account for persons with disabilities, you could qualify!

Maximize your credit up to $1,000 ($2,000 for couples) & boost your refund or reduce your tax owed. Act fast – individuals with IRAs have until April 15, 2024, to set up or add funds for the 2023 tax year. 🗓️ Check eligibility based on income & filing status.

For more details, check the IRS website or reach out to us to gain a deeper understanding of the Saver’s Credit and learn how to maximize it.

💡In response to feedback & to avoid confusion, the IRS postponed the $600 Form 1099-K threshold for 2023. A $5,000 threshold is set for 2024. This affects popular payment apps & online marketplaces, with 2023 serving as a transition year under the American Rescue Plan. Prior reporting thresholds apply this year.📊

Taxpayers should 📝note that in 2023, although the reporting threshold stays above $20,000 & 200 transactions, companies still have the flexibility to issue the form for any amount.

Moreover, the higher threshold doesn't affect tax law—all income is subject to taxation unless specifically excluded by law, irrespective of whether a Form 1099-K is issued or not.

👤 Who’s involved: Anyone using payment apps or online marketplaces, from side hustlers to casual sellers.

📝 Preparation: Review your Form 1099-K, ensure accuracy, & explore deductible expenses.

💼Ensuring the accurate representation of a company's true financial position📈 is a common requirement for stockholders, creditors, & private investors.

✅ Audit - Maximum Assurance
Overview: Thorough examination, covering internal controls & communication with third parties.
•Pros: Provides maximum credibility for stakeholders, ensures tax compliance, & prevents fraud.

•Cons: Limited depth of examination.

✅ Compilation - Basic Assurance
Overview: Represents management's perspective without providing an opinion, relying on our accounting expertise & understanding of your business.
•Pros: Cost-effective & less time-consuming.
•Cons: Provides limited assurance & may not fulfill specific stakeholder requirements

🚨 Important Update on ERC Claims! Take a moment to read for key insights. 🚨

If you've already filed your ERC claim, brace yourself for a bit of a wait! The IRS is now giving extra attention to ensure the legitimacy of each claim, making the processing time a bit longer.

But here's the scoop: If you're worried about falling victim to aggressive ERC marketing schemes, the IRS is paving the way for you to take action! Eligible businesses can now choose to withdraw unprocessed claims they suspect might be invalid.

Wondering if you qualify? Your business must have submitted the claim on an adjusted employment return with no other adjustments. Plus, you've got to be all in, wanting to withdraw the entire ERC claim.

Why consider withdrawing? 🤔 It's a smart move to avoid receiving a refund you shouldn't get (trust us, you'd have to pay it back!) along with extra interest and penalties.

Can't use the withdrawal option? No worries! You might still be able to trim down or eliminate your ERC claim by filing an amended return. 💼✨

Stay informed, stay smart, protect your information, & safeguard your hard-earned money. Don't fall victim to fraudulent activities, especially those aggressive ERC marketing schemes that promise returns that seem too good to be true. 🌐 💼

🌟 Did you know? If you're 70½ or older & have an IRA, you can make a big impact while enjoying tax benefits! With Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), you can donate up to $100,000 annually to charity tax-free. It's a fantastic way for eligible individuals to give back effortlessly before the year ends, and for those 73 or older, QCDs count towards your required minimum distribution. 🎁

📈 Plus, here's a tax-savvy tip: QCDs don't just benefit your favorite cause, but they also come with tax advantages. These distributions are not taxable as long as they're directly made to an eligible charitable organization.

Remember to report your 2023 QCD on your federal income tax return in 2024, & get a receipt from the charity for your records. Reach out to your IRA trustee now to set up your QCD for 2023! Act fast, as the trustee needs time to complete the transaction before year-end.

Charity with a Bonus: Navigating IRS Rules for Charitable Tax Deductions

Giving back feels great, & it's even better when you can score a tax deduction. Follow these IRS rules to make sure your donation counts:

✅Check that your charity is IRS-approved using the Exempt Organizations Search tool.
✅Ensure your contributions are actually paid, not just promised. 💰So, if you pledge $5,000 in 2023 but have paid only $1,500 by Dec. 31, 2023, you can deduct only $1,500 on your 2023 tax return
✅Stay on top of substantiation rules, especially if you're donating property.

Remember, there are more rules & limits to explore for that perfect deduction. Hit us up for more details! 📧📞

Unlocking Hidden Perks: Ever heard of the one-time wonder – the IRA to HSA transfer? 💰 Did you know you can move funds from your IRA to a Health Savings Account without facing taxes or penalties? 🚀 It's a game-changer for tackling unexpected medical expenses!

✅ No taxes or penalties!
✅ Qualified HSA funding distribution allowed once in a lifetime!
✅ Maximize tax benefits for your IRA and HSA!

Thinking of making the move? Here's a quick guide:
✅ Direct transfer by IRA trustee to HSA trustee.
✅ The transfer counts toward your annual HSA contribution limit.
✅ Not tax-deductible, but the IRA distribution is excluded from income!

Visit our website to read the full details and enlighten yourself about this transfer.

If you're facing challenges in collecting payments, a bad debt deduction might be the solution. Act swiftly by demonstrating a 'reasonable' effort to collect the debt - it's not about filing lawsuits, but putting in genuine effort. 🤝💼

💸Cash-basis taxpayers, take note: you can claim this deduction if the owed amount was previously included in your gross income. Ensure the debt is legitimate & unrecoverable, making it essential to show effort in your collection attempts. ⚖️

💡Consider the charge-off method: deduct business bad debts that became partially or totally worthless during the year. Partially worthless debts can be postponed, but totally worthless debts allow a deduction for the entire amount. 📚

🕒 Time is of the essence! If you're eyeing a business bad debt deduction for 2023, kickstart collection efforts now - use phone, email, letters, or even a collection agency if needed.

✅ Swift Submission: Submit the completed Form 8850 to your state workforce agency within 28 days of the eligible worker's start date—no need to send it to the IRS.
