Tax Advisor: Understanding Tax Implications of Remote Work

Leave a comment

“
”

Remote work, since the pandemic, has transformed the traditional office landscape. Thanks to technology, employees can now work from anywhere, blurring the lines between home and office. This new flexibility offers many benefits, but it also raises important questions about the tax implications of remote work. 

As remote work becomes more commonplace, both employees and employers need to understand the tax rules that apply to this evolving work arrangement. Here are some tax implications for you and your tax advisor to keep in mind:  

  1. State Income Tax Considerations. If you live and work in D.C., Northern Virginia, or Maryland, you may be subject to taxes in both locations. *** Here’s how it works:
  • Tax Home vs. Work Location: Your “tax home” is typically where you live, while your “work location” is where your employer’s office is located. If they are in the same state, there’s usually no issue. However, if you’re working remotely from a different state, you may need to file income tax returns in both states.
  • Reciprocity Agreements: Some neighboring states have reciprocity agreements that allow residents of one state to work in another without paying income tax to the work state. These agreements can simplify the tax situation for remote workers.
  1. Tracking remote work days. For tax purposes, it’s essential to keep accurate records of where you work. The number of days you work in different states can impact your tax liability. Some states have a “day counting” rule that triggers tax obligations if you work there for a certain number of days within a tax year.
  2. Deductions for home office expenses. The tax implications of remote work also extend to home office deductions. For tax year 2013, the IRS introduced a simplified home office deduction method, allowing eligible taxpayers to deduct $5 per square foot of their home office space, up to a maximum of 300 square feet. For those who qualify, this deduction can help offset some of the costs associated with remote work, such as internet, utilities, and office supplies. However, to be eligible, your home office must be used exclusively for work purposes, and you must meet specific criteria outlined by the IRS.
  3. State sales tax obligations. If you’re running a remote business from your home, you may also have to consider state sales tax obligations. Many states require businesses to collect and remit sales tax on sales made to customers within the state. If you’re conducting sales remotely, you’ll need to navigate the rules and regulations regarding sales tax in both your home state and any other state where you have customers.
  4. Employer considerations. Employers also face tax-related challenges with remote work arrangements. They must determine their tax obligations in the states where remote employees reside and work. Additionally, they may need to address payroll tax issues, unemployment insurance, and compliance with various state labor laws.
  5. Impact on tax credits and deductions. Remote work can affect eligibility for certain tax credits and deductions. For example, the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child and Dependent Care Credit (CDCC) depend on factors like income and work-related expenses, which may change when working remotely. Similarly, retirement account contributions and deductions may be impacted by changes in income and work arrangements. 
  6. Seek professional guidance from a tax advisor. Navigating the tax implications of remote work can be complex, especially if you work in multiple states or have specific deductions and credits in mind. To ensure compliance and optimize your tax situation, seek the assistance of a qualified tax advisor. 

Remote work offers flexibility and convenience, but it also brings tax considerations. Understanding the tax implications of remote work is essential for employees and employers to avoid surprises come tax season.

Tax Planning Advice for Major Life Changes

Leave a comment


We can never predict what life has for us. 

There may be significant milestones and changes that can impact your finances. It may be marriage, a baby, buying a home, changing careers, or nearing retirement. These life changes all have their unique tax considerations. Proper tax planning during these times can help you navigate these transitions more smoothly and maximize your financial well-being. 

Here are some tax planning ideas for major life changes:

  1. Marriage. Marriage changes your tax situation. If you’re recently married or about to get married, consider the following:
    • Update Your Filing Status: Choose between filing jointly or separately. Filing jointly often provides more tax benefits due to lower tax rates and increased deductions. Calculate both scenarios to determine which is more advantageous.
    • Review Withholding: Update your W-4 with your employer to reflect your new marital status. This will ensure that your withholding accurately reflects your combined income and tax situation.
  2. Baby: The new member of your family is a life-altering event that also impacts your taxes:
    • Claiming Dependents: You can claim a child as a dependent, which could lead to valuable tax credits such as the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit.
    • Childcare Expenses: If you’re returning to work and paying for childcare, you might be eligible for the Child and Dependent Care Credit, which can help offset some of these costs.
  3. Purchasing a Home: Becoming a homeowner has tax implications:
    • Mortgage Interest Deduction: Depending on your income & deductions you may be able to deduct mortgage interest paid on your primary and, in some cases, secondary residence, which can provide substantial tax savings.
    • Property Taxes: Property taxes are often deductible, so keep track of these payments for tax purposes.
    • Home Office Deduction: If you use a portion of your home exclusively for business purposes (not applicable if you are compensated by W2), you might be eligible for a home office deduction.
  4. Changing Careers: Transitioning to a new job or career can lead to changes in your tax situation:
    • Job Search Expenses: Some job-related expenses, such as resume preparation and travel for interviews, might be deductible if they exceed a certain threshold.
  5. Approaching Retirement: As you near retirement, strategic tax planning can help you make the most of your savings:
    • Social Security Timing: The timing of when you start receiving Social Security benefits can impact the taxes you owe on those benefits. Be aware of the potential tax consequences.
    • Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) for 2023: Once you reach the age of 73 (or 70½ if you were born before July 1, 1949), you’ll need to start taking RMDs from your retirement accounts. Plan for the tax implications of these distributions.
  6. Estate Planning: This is a critical aspect of your financial journey that affects your loved ones:
    • Gift and Estate Taxes: If you plan to gift substantial assets or have a sizable estate, understanding the gift and estate tax thresholds and exemptions is important for tax-efficient transfers.
  7. Divorce: Divorce can have significant financial and tax ramifications:
    • Alimony and Child Support: Understand the tax treatment of alimony (taxable to the recipient, deductible by the payer if the divorce was finalized by the end of 2018) and child support (non-taxable).
    • Property Division: The division of property during divorce can have tax consequences. Consult with professionals to ensure equitable and tax-efficient outcomes.

You should seek advice from a tax professional or financial advisor. They can guide you based on your specific circumstances and help you make informed decisions that align with your long-term financial goals. Tax laws can change, so staying informed and proactive is key to optimizing your financial situation during every stage of your life.

Tax Planning: What You Need to Do If You Can’t Pay Your Tax Bill

Leave a comment

Everyone who likes to file their tax returns, raise your hand! That’s what we thought. 

Filing taxes is massively stressful even if you have prepared. It’s even worse if you are unable to pay your tax bill. Know that you’re not alone, and there are tax planning strategies you can take now if you cannot pay the tax balance that is due.  

The following are practical tax planning strategies when you can’t pay your tax bill:

  1. File your tax return on time. Even if you cannot pay it all, file your tax return by the deadline. Failing to file can result in penalties and additional fees, which will only add to your financial burden. Filing on time means that you avoid complications and show your willingness to fulfill your tax obligations.
  2. Review your tax bill. Carefully review your tax bill. Make sure it’s accurate. Mistakes happen. Regardless, make sure you file as you don’t want to pay more than you owe. Double-check all calculations and cross-reference the information provided with your records. If you see discrepancies, contact the IRS or state tax authorities promptly to resolve the issue.
  3. Explore payment options. The IRS and your state’s tax authorities know that  everyone cannot pay their tax bill in full immediately. So, they offer several payment options to accommodate different financial situations. Those options include:
    a. Installment Agreement: You can request an installment agreement that allows you to pay your tax debt in monthly installments. The IRS or your state tax agency will work with you to determine a reasonable payment plan based on your income and expenses.
    b. Offer in Compromise: You may be eligible for a compromise offer that allows you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount owed. This option is only available if you can prove that paying the full amount would cause significant financial hardship.
    c. Temporarily Delay Payment: If you’re experiencing a temporary financial hardship, you may be able to request a temporary delay in payment until your situation improves. During this time, penalties and interest will continue to accrue, but it can provide you with some breathing room to get back on your feet.
  4. Communicate with the Tax Authorities: Start communication with the tax authorities is vital when you’re unable to pay your tax bill. Contact the appropriate agency as soon as possible to discuss your situation and explore available options. Ignoring the issue will only lead to more severe consequences, such as liens or wage garnishments. 
  5. Consult a Tax Professional: Navigating the complex world of taxes can be challenging, especially when you’re facing financial difficulties. Seeking guidance from a qualified tax professional, such as a tax attorney or a certified public accountant (CPA), can provide you with valuable insights and help you make informed decisions. They can analyze your situation, explore all possible options, and negotiate on your behalf with the tax authorities.
  6. Adjust Withholdings: If you are unable to pay your tax bill this year, review your withholdings and adjust them. By increasing your withholdings, you’re paying a more accurate amount throughout the year, reducing a significant tax bill next time. Consult with a tax preparation professional to determine the optimal withholding amount based on your financial circumstances.

If you are unable to pay your tax bill it can be overwhelming, but you can take steps to resolve it. By filing your tax return on time, reviewing your bill for accuracy, exploring payment options, communicating with tax authorities, seeking professional guidance, and adjusting your withholdings, you can navigate this challenging scenario. We recommend hiring an accountant or a tax professional to help you with your tax returns or to represent you to the IRS or state tax department.

Tax Planning: Little-Known Expenses That are Tax-Deductible

Leave a comment



Tax returns are done for most US citizens. There are still millions of Americans and their accountants who are still working on their 2022 tax returns. ***

There are many deductions that filers forget or don’t even know are eligible. Billions of dollars are paid out by taxpayers that could have been saved. Your tax advisor is aware of these tax deductions as they are required to be updated on all new tax laws.

Here are some little-known expenses for your tax planning that may be tax-deductible:

1. Job Search Expenses: If you’re searching for a job in your current field, you may be able to deduct certain job search expenses, such as transportation costs, resume preparation, and employment agency fees. These deductions may be available even if you don’t get the job.
2. Professional Development Expenses: If you’re looking to improve your skills or education in your current field, you may be able to deduct the expenses associated with professional development courses, seminars, and conferences.
3. Jury paid. Most employers will pay employees’ salaries while they are serving on a jury but ask that they turn over their jury fees to the company. This income has to be reported as taxable income. If you gave that income to your employer, you could deduct the amount, so you aren’t taxed on that money.
4. Moving Expenses for Work: If you move for work-related reasons, you may be able to deduct certain moving expenses, such as transportation costs, storage expenses, and lodging costs. The distance between your new home and your new job must meet certain requirements, and there are other eligibility criteria to consider. If you’re an active-duty military member who is relocating, you can deduct these expenses as long as the government doesn’t reimburse you. The move must be permanent and ordered by the military. The deductions include gas, lodging, moving trucks, and shipping your cars and pets.
5. Home Office Expenses: If you work from home, you may be able to deduct certain home office expenses, such as utilities, internet expenses, and office equipment. The space must be used regularly and exclusively for work purposes to qualify for the deduction.
6. Investment Expenses: If you have investments, you may be able to deduct certain investment expenses, such as advisory fees, custodial fees, and other expenses related to managing your investments. If you have any mutual fund and stock dividends, they are automatically reinvested in extra shares, each reinvestment increases your tax basis in the stock refund or mutual fund. This reduces the amount of taxable capital when you sell your shares. 7. 7. Reinvested dividends which you subtract from the proceeds of sale to determine your gain means you will overpay your taxes.
8. State tax paid. If you owed taxes when you filed your 2021 state tax return in 2022, then you can include that amount with your state tax itemized deduction on your 2022 return. You may also include your state income taxes withheld from your paychecks or paid with quarterly estimated payments. Limited to a maximum of $10,000 per year.

These are just a few examples of little-known expenses that may be tax-deductible. However, there are many other deductions and credits available that can help reduce your tax bill. It’s important to do your tax planning with a qualified tax advisor to ensure that you are taking advantage of all the deductions and credits that you’re eligible for while also complying with all applicable tax laws and regulations.

The Expectations for the 2022 Tax Preparation Season

Leave a comment


The holiday season has come and gone but “tax season” is always with us. This tax season may be as complicated as ever due to the pandemic and a flurry of new tax laws that came down from Congress. 

Your expectations for your personal and business tax preparation may have to be adjusted, particularly with working with the IRS (always a challenge) and the child and dependent tax credit. Here are some facts to keep in mind as you get your documents in order to file for 2021:

  1. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS): Delayed and behind 
  2. E-filing begins January 24, 2022: The IRS is already way behind in preparing for this tax season and is still working on 2019 and 2020 tax filings. These disruptions are blamed on the ongoing pandemic along with budget cuts, a shrinking workforce, and outdated technologies at the IRS.
  3. Delayed refund for returns claiming Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC). The IRS cannot issue refunds before mid-February 2022 for returns that properly claim ACTC. This time frame applies to the entire refund, not just the portion associated with ACTC.
  4. The Child and Dependent Care Credit: 
    • Differences in credits for qualifying children and other dependents tax year 2021
    • Enhanced child tax credit. For 2021, the child tax credit applies to qualifying children who have not attained age 18 by the end of 2021. Also, the initial amount of the child tax credit is increased to $3,600 for each qualifying child who has not attained age 6 by the end of 2021 and $3,000 for each other qualifying child who has not attained age 18 by the end of 2021. The credit for other dependents has not been enhanced. 
    • In the know. Important abbreviations: ACTC means additional child tax credit.  ATIN means adoption taxpayer identification number.  ITIN means individual taxpayer identification number.  NCTC means nonrefundable child tax credit.  ODC means credit for other dependents.  RCTC means refundable child tax credit.
    • Delayed refund for returns claiming ACTC. The IRS cannot issue refunds before mid-February 2022 for returns that properly claim ACTC. This time frame applies to the entire refund, not just the portion associated with ACTC.
    • 2021 Child and dependent care credit information: The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, was enacted on March 11, 2021, making the Child and Dependent Care credit substantially more generous and potentially refundable (up to $4,000 for one qualifying person and $8,000 for two or more qualifying persons) only for the tax year 2021, This means an eligible taxpayer can receive this credit even if they owe no federal income tax. Your federal income tax may be reduced by claiming the Credit for Child and Dependent Care expenses on your tax return. ***

If you have been frustrated the past filing your individual and/or business in the past, this year will not be any different. We are constantly hearing from clients who are having difficulty contacting the IRS to get important information or a consultation on a previously filed tax return.

How to Beat a Small Business Tax Audit

Leave a comment

The Internal Revenue Service IRS) has ratcheted up its small business audits this year. *** These audits include the mom-and-pop retail stores, tech startups, and investment funds such as cryptocurrency.

The infrequent checks from the IRS for small businesses are over for now. So, you as a small business owner, need to be ready when the tax-man cometh. Here are several tips on how you can beat the small business tax audit:

  1. Keep good records: The main question we accountants get is, “How far back do they go to do the audit?” Typically, you will need to keep copies of filed returns and documents for at least three years from the filing date or the return’s due date, whichever is later. This is the period of time that the IRS has to audit most returns. This process can go out as long as six years if the income was misreported by 25 percent or more. (There is no statute of limitations on fraudulent tax returns.)
  2. Make a case for unsubstantiated income: The IRS has an aggregate or algorithm of the typical income/expense ratio for any type of business. If they see a higher-than-average expense list, extremely low income, or a major loss, it may trigger an audit. If you have truthful and legitimate reasons for that data, such as insurance claims that show losses after a natural disaster (such as the floods in the Southern US) or advertising promoting more services, you may be able to survive the audit. You must have detailed records of it. This would include travel expenses, receipts, calendars, and mileage logs. 
  3. Investigate your records for possible audit red flags. You must do your due diligence to protect yourself from an audit. It’s actually pretty simple to do. Review your income records. Did you write the correct amount? (No transposed numbers.) The IRS cross-references your wages with other tax records. Also, be sure you have reported all of your income. Lastly, double-check your business deductions, particularly meal and entertainment expenses, a major bugaboo with the IRS. 
  4. Don’t lose your head. An IRS Audit does not mean you are going to prison, your home will be seized and your business(es) closed.  Actually, field audits are rare. If an IRS agent visits your location, then it would have to be an audit substantial enough to pay for the audit. In fact, most IRS audits are done online or with mail correspondence. The IRS, once it reviews the documents that you have sent, may only recalculate the return and bill you for the corrected amount. So, you can be calm about it and no need to look for agents in dark suits hopping out of SUVs with briefcases, showing you their IDs, and bargaining into your home. It makes for interesting television, but it is quite rare in real life.
  5. Bring in a professional accountant. Your tax records may be much more complicated than just transposed digits. When that is the case, you should consult with a professional, licensed, accountant. They can review and check all your numbers and documents to see if there are any discrepancies. Additionally, they can represent you to the IRS and make sure you are not unfairly or inaccurately audited. 

Audit. It is not a pleasant process but there is no need to hyperventilate and lock yourself in your basement. But, before tax season begins on January 1, 2022, do the necessary tasks to best protect yourself from a letter from the IRS requesting a small business tax audit. It can be done and you can survive it. Millions do every year.

2021 Child Tax Credit and Advanced Child Tax Credits

Leave a comment
“ ”

As the season’s change, so do the tax laws. Congress and the Internal Revenue Service make adjustments yearly though they usually give taxpayers a year to get ready for the changes. Most of them are minor, however, there are a few laws, especially following the COVID-19 crisis, that affect millions of Americans.  

The pandemic spurred lawmakers to sign into law the American Rescue Plan. It includes an important change to the Child Tax Credit (CTC)***, which will become effective July 15, 2021. The changes to the CTC include:

  • amount increased for many taxpayers
  • fully refundable
  • includes children who turn 17 in 2021
  • monthly advance payments of half the estimated annual CTC from July through December

Here are some details about the CTC:

  1.  Your child must be under eighteen (18) years of age
  1.  For tax year 2021, the Child Tax Credit is increased from $2,000 per qualifying child to:
    1. $3,600 for children ages 5 and under at the end of 2021; and
    2. $3,000 for children ages 6 through 17 at the end of 2021. 
  2. Depending on your tax bracket and filing status, you may be phased out from receiving the refundable credit:
    1. A single filer with children under 17 making up to $75,000 will receive the full payment for each child, while those earning up to $90,000 will get a reduced amount. 
    2. Joint filers with children who make up to $150,000 will get the full credit, while those earning up to $170,000 will receive a smaller amount.
  1. Unlike the economic impact payments which did not need to be paid back if they were issued in error, the CTC must be paid back if issued to an ineligible recipient. To unenroll in the advance CTC payments go to: www.irs.gov/childtaxcredit2021 .

Business Tax Preparation Tips: Why You Should Do Estimated Tax Payments Now!

Leave a comment

By the time you read this, Tax Day 2021 is over. Millions of Americans have filed their tax returns to the Internal Revenue Service and to the state or to the District where they live. 

For many people, Tax Day meant they wrote large checks or filed extensions so they could pay off the 2020 tax bill. It was a very difficult and stressful day for millions of filers. 

You can save yourself a lot of pain, stress and fees by doing one thing differently: Make estimated tax payments as soon as possible! 

Estimated Tax Payments *** are for those whose federal and/or state withholding is under withheld during the year. Estimated tax payments are used to fill in the gap in withholding and proactively pay your predicted tax liability for the current year as you earn the money. Paying quarterly estimated payments is a strategy to avoid having to pay a huge bill on tax day along with penalty and interest that may be charged by the IRS or the state. Payments are made incrementally, on the following quarterly tax dates:

Payment Period                         Due Date 

January 1 to March 31 April 15
 April 1 to May 31  June 15
 June 1 to Aug. 31  Sept. 15
September 1 to December 31  Jan. 15 of the following year
2021 Estimated Tax Payments Schedule

Traditionally estimated payments are made quarterly. Had a big tax bill this year and want to avoid it next year with similar earnings predicted for this year? Have your accountant or bookkeeper calculate estimated payments. At A.K. Burton PC, we calculate estimated payments for our clients regularly. Has your income changed significantly this year? Contact your accountant and have them recalculate your estimates.

How do you pay your estimated payments? Methods of payment include scheduling an online payment or by check. If you’re interested in paying your estimated payments online: find the correct links by going to your state’s department of taxation’s website or to the IRS website and have them withdraw the funds.  Don’t have the full amount to send in that your accountant recommended? Send in the amount you can.

Income Tax Preparation: How You Can Get Your Tax Refund ASAP

Leave a comment

The good news is that the IRS gave us an extra month to file our tax returns for 2020. It is May 17, 2021, and not April 15, 2021. ***

The bad news is that it may take a while to receive your tax refund.

It is frustrating, especially if you need the refund to catch up on bills you may have accumulated during the COVID crisis. Here are several ways you can get your tax refund quicker:

  1. E-File: Submit your tax returns electronically versus mailing your tax return in.
  2. Confirm that you have all your income documents before you file. You should have all of your 2020 income documents by now, but if you don’t, get them before you file. If you don’t have them and file your return, then you might have to amend your return(s). 
  3. Double-check your mailing address. This one is crucial! The IRS contacts you by mail for required updates on your tax return. Make sure your mailing address is correct so that you will receive all correspondence, (including a refund check), from the IRS. 
  4. Double-check your bank information on your return. If you choose direct deposit to speed up receiving your refund but fail to provide the correct bank account information, then you won’t receive your refund by direct deposit. 
  5. Check all your ID numbers. IRS has every citizen’s name and address on file. Each name has a unique ID number that is tied to the name, birthdate, income amount, and social security number. 
  6. Confirm that you are the only one claiming your dependent(s). If you know someone who could also claim your dependent on their tax return, then verify who will be claiming the dependent(s). If a dependent is claimed by more than one person, then the second tax return to claim them will be rejected by the IRS. 

Have a Certified Public Accountant file your tax returns for you. Tax laws are notoriously complicated and change year to year. So, save yourself the stress and fees by hiring a CPA to file your taxes for you. They can file them and represent you before the IRS. What’s not to like?!

As of this blog posting, there are still a few weeks left before the May 17, 2021 posting. Have you done all of the above?
