PAyROLL: Out of habit, many businesses

filed a 941 (quarterly). If your business pays

less than $1000annual liability forsocial

security, Medicare, and withheld federal

taxes, you must file the 944 (annually), this

DIFSCORE:Anotherexampleofpotential

financial impact is surpassing your DIF

score, which is a line the IRS uses to

determine who will be audited–your CPA

exceedingyourDIFscore.

Do not rely on the past; “times are a

changing.” I encourage you to work very

closely with your CPA to ensure you

are making the right decisions for your

business.*

Areyouready?Areyouplanningforthechanges?

In order to stimulate spending, the government allowed businesses the

opportunity to reduce income, resulting in reduced tax liabilities, enabling

smallbusinessestopurchaseequipment,hirestaff,andmarkettheirbusiness.

So as a business owner, when filing your 2009 returns, some of the key tax

considerations you should consider include: Depreciation of Assets, Bonus

Depreciations,Vehicles,LeaseHoldImprovements,andPayrollFiling.

ASSETDEPRECIATION:Overthelast8years,smallbusinesseshavebeenable

tofullydepreciateassetspurchasedinasingleyear.In2009,businessescould

deductupto$250,000fromtheirrevenuesindepreciation,whentotalcapital

purchases are under $800,000. Do note, that if your business purchased over

$800,00,thedepreciationdeductionwouldbedecreaseddollar fordollarover

the$800,000investment.

However,therearealwaysprosandcons.Ifyourdepreciationelectionincreased

your income dramatically, you will lose the depreciation benefit in future years,

thusincreasingyourtaxliabilitieseachyearthereafter.Toavoidthis,youwould

nottakethewriteoffimmediatelyandthuswriteofftheassetoveraperiodofyears.

Note,thiseightyearopportunityissettoexpirein2010,soyoumayonlybeable

todepreciate$25,000on2010assetpurchases.

Howyoupurchaseanddepreciateyourassetsshouldfollowyourbusinessgoals

andstrategies,nottheotherwayaround.Duetothecomplexityoftheoptions,this

isatopicthatshouldbediscussedwithyourCPA-itcanmakeahugedifference

inyourtaxliabilities.

BONUS DEPRECIATION: Along with

Depreciation of assets there is a Bonus

Depreciation. This is another tax benefit to

stimulatespending.Thebonusdepreciation

allowsyoutowriteoff½ofyourapplicable

property/assets in addition to the asset

depreciationdescribedabove.

The bonus depreciation can dramatically

increase your after tax earnings and can

beusedtogeneratealoss.However,thisis

planned to expire in 2010, so discussions

withyourCPAareessential toensureyou

are not increasing your income significantly,

thus increasing your tax liabilities in

followingyears.

VEHICLES:Anothertopicthatcontinually

changesarevehicledeductions.Inthepast

therewereanumberofloopholesinvehicle

write-offs.Thisisnolongerthecase.

Theonlyvehicles thathavea100%write-

offareheavydutyworkvehiclesthatweigh

over6,000lbs.Thesecanbewrittenoffover

a7yearperiod.However,Ifyourvehicleis

under6,000lbs,thenitisconsideredlisted

property and the write off amounts are:

year1-$10,960,andyears2through7-

$2,960.

This now begs the question - should you

depreciate your vehicle or use mileage

allowance reimbursements. The vast

majorityofcircumstancesindicateutilizing

mileage is a sounder financial strategy. This

againdependsonthetypeofbusiness.

Many companies buy vehicles in the

company name so they can write it off.

Did you know that buying a vehicle in

the company name makes you liable for

Business Personal Property Tax (BPP)? If

purchased personally, there is no current

tax on this property. The counties are

starting to ask and tax any property used

in business whether owned personally or

in a business name. The first target is the

realtors and their personally owned cars.

(Exceptions to this rule would include

large fleets of vehicles that you tend to

lease anyway.)
