If you own a small business with no employees (other than your spouse) and want to set up a retirement plan, consider a solo 401(k) plan. This is also an option for self-employed individuals or business owners who wish to upgrade from a SIMPLE IRA or SEP plan. For 2024, you can make an elective deferral contribution of up to $23,000 of your net self-employment (SE) income ($30,500 if you’ll be 50 or older as of Dec. 31, 2024). On top of the elective amount, an extra contribution of up to 20% of your net SE income is allowed for solo 401(k)s. For 2024, the combined elective and extra contributions can’t exceed $69,000 ($76,500 for 50 or older) or 100% of net SE income. Questions? Contact us.

As year end approaches, you may be thinking about tax strategies. One way to reduce potential estate taxes and show generosity to loved ones is to give cash gifts before Dec. 31. Taxpayers can transfer large amounts using the annual exclusion. In 2024, the exclusion amount is $18,000. It covers gifts you make to each recipient. That means if you have three children, you can transfer $54,000 to them in 2024, free of federal gift taxes. Married couples can consent to give each recipient up to $36,000 a year. Other rules may apply, and you need to file a gift tax return if you give more than $18,000 or consent to give gifts with your spouse. We can prepare a gift tax return for you.

If you take an early distribution from your traditional IRA, (before you reach age 59½), you may be hit with a penalty. In addition to the income tax you’ll pay for the withdrawal, you’ll typically pay a 10% early withdrawal penalty. Exceptions exist, such as withdrawals to pay higher education costs. Suppose you’re under 59½, getting divorced and dividing a traditional IRA with your former spouse. Does that count as an exception? Generally, no, says the IRS, though there are ways to avoid the penalty. They involve a Qualified Domestic Relations Order or a proper trustee-to-trustee transfer under a divorce or separation court order. Mistakes can be costly. Contact us for help.

The IRS is providing tax relief for farmers and ranchers forced to sell or exchange livestock because of drought conditions in 41 states and other areas. Specifically, farmers and ranchers may have additional time to replace their livestock and defer tax on any gains from forced sales or exchanges. The tax relief generally applies to capital gains realized by eligible farmers and ranchers on sales or exchanges of livestock held for draft, dairy or breeding purposes. Sales of other livestock, such as those raised for slaughter, aren’t eligible.

Federal estimated tax payments ensure that certain individuals pay their taxes throughout the year. You may have to make estimated payments if you receive interest, dividends, self-employment income, capital gains, a pension or other income. If you don’t pay enough during the year through withholding and estimated payments, you may be liable for a penalty on top of the tax due. Individuals must generally pay 25% of their required annual tax four times annually with Form 1040-ES. The next payment is due Sept. 16 (because the usual Sept. 15 due date falls on a Sunday). You may be able to use the annualized income method to make smaller payments if your income isn’t uniform over the year.

You’ve probably never heard of the "Self Employment Tax Credit." That’s because it doesn’t exist! However, unscrupulous promoters on social media are peddling the nonexistent credit as a way for self-employed people and gig workers to receive big payments related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In reality, the underlying limited and technical credits referenced in these bogus claims are called the Credits for Sick Leave and Family Leave for Certain Self-Employed Individuals. The IRS is warning taxpayers that many people don’t qualify for these credits and that the tax agency is closely reviewing claims for them.

There are many personal rewards for taking care of an elderly relative. You could also be eligible for tax breaks. For example, if the person qualifies as your dependent and you itemize deductions on your return, you can include any medical expenses you incur for him or her along with your own when determining your medical deduction. If you aren’t married, you may qualify for head-of-household status, which has a higher standard deduction and lower tax rates than a single filer. You may also qualify for the Credit for Other Dependents (nonchild) or the dependent care credit for costs you incur for the individual’s care to enable you and your spouse to go to work. Contact us with questions.

You may still be reeling from paying your 2023 taxes by the April 15, 2024, due date. And if you’re required to make estimated payments, you probably also made your first estimated payment for 2024 by April 15. But don’t relax yet. The next estimated payment due date for 2024 income is rolling up fast, on June 17. The final two estimated tax payments for 2024 are due on Sept. 16 and Jan. 15, 2025. Farmers, fisherman and others whose income is earned unevenly through the year may have different rules. If you don’t pay enough tax during the year, either through withholding or estimated tax payments, you may owe a penalty for underpayment of tax. Questions? We can help.

May 17 is an important upcoming deadline for the 1 million people who didn’t file their 2020 federal tax returns and are due a refund. Indeed, that’s the filing deadline to claim an estimated more than $1 billion in tax refunds that the IRS says remain available. There’s no penalty for failing to file if a refund is due. However, a return claiming a refund must be filed within three years of its due date for a refund to be allowed. After the expiration of the three-year period, the refund statute generally prevents the issuance of a refund check and the application of any credit to other tax years that are underpaid.

Did you submit your tax return and then realize you made a mistake? Perhaps pieces of information were forgotten. Now you may be wondering if you need to file an amended return. The IRS states that taxpayers usually don’t need to file amended returns for certain issues. The IRS will correct any math errors while processing tax returns and notify the taxpayers. If a form or schedule is missing, the tax agency will send a letter requesting it. Certain other changes, however, require that an amended return be filed. They include: a change of filing status, missing income, incorrect deductions or credits, and inaccurate tax liability. Contact us for help.
