Reminder: Take your Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) by December 31, 2024!

If you’re turning 73 this year or have inherited a retirement account, it’s essential to meet these requirements to avoid IRS penalties.

💡 Key Deadlines:
➡️ If 2024 is your first RMD year, you can delay the withdrawal until April 1, 2025. Just remember, this may mean taking two RMDs in 2025, potentially increasing your taxable income.

💡 Special Update for Inherited Accounts:
➡️ Annual RMDs for inherited retirement accounts are suspended for 2024 and will resume in 2025.

The rules can be complex, so consult your financial adviser to ensure you’re on track and compliant.

Did you know that credit card rewards are not taxable?

If your business credit card earns you cash back or travel points, the IRS generally doesn’t treat those rewards as income. However, it’s still a good idea to handle them carefully in your bookkeeping.

Here’s a tip:
✅ Cash Back Rewards: Consider transferring your cash-back rewards to your personal bank account instead of your business account. This could help reduce the risk of mistakenly including those rewards as business income during reconciliation.

✅ Travel Points: You might use these strategically—saving them for personal travel while paying for business-related travel out-of-pocket could allow you to deduct those business expenses.

These are just a couple of ideas to think about when managing your finances. If you have clarifications or questions, feel free to send us a message!
