If I have not done all mileage on the business, can I still do that on my personal after I received my w-2 and k-1 and how. I can seem to find it.

    During the early 2010s, the IRS started investigating captives for abusive transactions. In 2016, the IRS published Notice 2016-66 in which the agency advised that micro-captive insurance transactions have the potential for tax avoidance or evasion. The IRS filed suit against companies paying premiums to captives and won three major lawsuits starting in 2017. The Tax Court articulated four factors that indicate an arrangement constituting insurance: Insurance risk, Risk shifting to the insurer, Risk distribution, and Commonly accepted notions of insurance. In these three cases, the Tax Court concluded that contracts between the captives and defendant companies had not passed the risk. In 2019, the IRS offered settlements to companies paying premiums to captives, which the IRS reported were accepted by 80% of the companies receiving such notice. The IRS will audit all small captives. Google Lance Wallach and your advisor, who do YOU think is better?

    If you arent a large business with a bunch of legal requirements and employees going llc and opting for s for taxation is great. First you create and llc then you have to send in a letter to the federal government requesting s corp taxation. If you are asking the accrual vs cash question just do cash method, theres way too much work needed to operate an accrual accounting methodology.

    If you mean the deduction for 1/2 of self-employment tax, when you fill out form SE (which is used to calculate SE tax), you would calculate the deduction on that form, and the instructions on that line of the form would direct you to the line of the 1040 where you should put the deduction. I don't remember the line off the top of my head, but it's clear on form SE how to carry it over to the 1040.

    QBI deduction for LLC & S Corp is probably the best one. The only issue with LLC & S-Corp is you cannot deduct health insurance. You could leverage both if you set up both an LLC\-S-Corp and C-Corp. Invoice some revenue to the C-Corp to cover healthcare insurance & some wages, than use the LLC\S-Corp to make use of the QBI. Some deductions not included in this video: 1. Utilities such as internet. I presume every business uses internet service for business use. Also phone land-line or VOIP service if you are using it for your business. 2. Meals, if you are working remotely & need to grab meals while on the job you can expense them. Keep your meal receipts 3. Continuing education: This could be books, trade shows, seminars, and costs associated with educating yourself for business needs. 4. Office equipment: Copier, desktop PCs, laptops, tools, etc. Note usually for equipment owned by the business are subject to property tax, and depending on the cost of the item, you may need to amortized the expenses over several years. 5. Business losses: considering how bad 2020 is for most small businesses, & you had a net loss, you can usually write off the lost in the following year. Note its important to keep any reciepts, invoices or paperwork for anything you submit for tax deduction. Its very likely you business will be audited at least once, even if you done nothing wrong. State revenue agencies usually do random audit on small businesses. As long as you retain all of your expense paperwork, you will be fine.

    Actually you can deduct health insurance that your business pays on your behalf. It gets reported as income on your w-2, and then you can deduct it on your 1040. I have done this for years. You just have to remember to run a year end payroll and add in the sum total of health insurance payments for the year.

    There isnt a “should”. Depending on how many members of the llc and what kind of taxation entity you have (s corp or not) it changes what you have to do. You dont get a choice. For llc taxed as s corps u have to file llc tax return first and separately then get a k-1 issued to the members who then use that to fill in personal tax return. For a single member llc not taxed as s corp i cant remember but i think u just file on your personal tax return.

    S-corp may provide a bit more legal protection than an LLC. If you think you might be sued, an S-Corp is probably the best option. Also contact an insurance agent about business insurance and see which option is best for your business. Its possible you might get an better option & lower cost policy with an S-Corp than an LLC. If your doing an assisted living, I would highly recommend discussing this with a business attorney familar with in home nursing & also contacting an insurance agent. Your assisted living business is most certainly going to need a solid insurance policy. You might need to go with a C-Corp for proper liability protection and insurance coverage. Note with an C-Corp you cannot take advantage of the 20% QBI deduction mentioned in this video.

    First thing first thank you for the great info second when making a claim on your taxes if the purchase was made on a personal bank account and not on the company card can it still be claimed?

    Purchasing from the wrong bank account has no impact on what u can take as a deduction, your company still paid for it. Two reasons. Most small business owners have their business as a legal entity where all the profit and loss goes directly on their personal tax return. If you are asking this question and a business owner I have to imagine you are in that boat. In that case you really dont have a business and personal bank account. All your bank accounts are business and all of them are personal. Even if you have a “business” and separate “personal” checking account, for taxes they are no different. Also for internal accounting purposes if you paid for it from your personal account, your company would now have a payable to you and a resulting expenses would show up on the company books so of course you could deduct it.

    Make sure your getting a verification on your odometer reading throughout the year and that those miles match up with you log miles or they will rip those amazing deduction away and you’ll be audited if those miles are 2x’s std yearly miles to work number they estimate. Funny how in my audit for this exact thing was nowhere to be found in their rules/laws just make up as they go.... grrrrrrr. Lol

    How do you get an odometer verification? Does a mechanic shop bill with date and odom work?

    Hello. On a S-Corp, do you need to pay yourself via Payroll (getting a W2) at the end of the year or can you just pay yourself by withdrawing directly from the bank account without deducting any taxes and pay them when filing your taxes?

    I recommend having an accountant create a W-2 that is included with your annual tax filing. Less chance of creating red flags. FYI: I am not an accountant but a small business owner.

    I have an LLC setup to be taxed as an s Corp. how do I go about funding a Roth IRA and traditional IRA that got created by my past employer for me after my 401k got rolled over into that.

    Hello! Thank you for the lovely video! I have a question: I do not drive and I don't have a license, but I often rent a car through my boyfriend who would drive me to get supplies. Sometimes I would take a taxi to get to the store for supplies. Does that count as tax deductible?

    Business rentals, yes. Business supplies, yes. Business cab expenses, yes. Make sure to keep your receipts to document the charges in addition to documenting any emails, contracts, or screenshots of your taxi/Uber/Lyft rides with notations, explaining why the trips were necessary for your business.
