Get a Tax Break From Past-year Losses

11/22/2017

 
​A net operating loss refers to a tax year in which a business's allowable tax deductions exceed its taxable income. In simpler terms, you had more expenses than you actually had revenue. However, there is a loophole: U.S. Code IRC § 172 allows businesses to use that loss as a  carryover toward future tax years or as a carryback to recoup money from previous tax years. Calculating and taking advantage of an NOL can be hugely beneficial to your business if you need money fast. An NOL can offer you a quick tax refund, but you must be up to date on the rules and regulations of this tax relief.

11/8/2017

 
​One of the most important tax and payroll issues a company has to address is who is an actual employee and who is an independent contractor. Once you have that worked out, your next step is making sure each category of workers gets the right forms. True employees get a Form W-2 each year, and freelancers — independent contractors — get a Form 1099-MISC. This form can be used for a variety of payments, and one of the most common and significant uses is for independent contractors.

How to Calculate Severance Pay

11/8/2017

 
​Although there is no legal requirement to offer severance, many companies provide it to employees after their employment is terminated. In general, severance pay is based on length of employment. You may decide to offer a week's pay for every year of service, or a flat amount based on six weeks' pay. When provided, it's given either as a lump sum or paid over a number of weeks.

Getting to Know the Sharing Economy

11/8/2017

 
​How people commute, travel and/or rent vacation accommodations these days often involves an emerging area of activity — the sharing economy. Other ways of referring to it include the on-demand, gig or access economy, but no matter how you describe it, we're talking about individuals and groups that use tech advancements to arrange transactions to generate revenue from assets they already own, such as cars and homes. The sharing economy can include household chores or even technology services. You may think of this as a developing area in our economy, and the IRS is thinking of it also. There are tax implications for the individuals and companies that perform such services.
