Tax Breaks for Families With Children

If you have children, one or more of these tax credits and deductions could help your family reduce the amount of tax owed when you file your 2020 tax return. Let's take a look:

1. Child Tax Credit

Generally, taxpayers can claim the Child Tax Credit for each qualifying child under the age of 17. The maximum credit is $2,000 per child. Taxpayers who get less than the full amount of the credit may qualify for the Additional Child Tax Credit (see below). The refundable portion of the credit is $1,400 so that even if taxpayers do not owe any tax, they can still claim the credit. A $500 nonrefundable credit is also available for dependents who do not qualify for the Child Tax Credit (e.g., dependents age 17 and older).

2. Child and Dependent Care Credit

If you pay someone to take care of your dependent to work or look for work, you may qualify for a credit of up to $1,050 or 35 percent of $3,000 of eligible expenses. For two or more qualifying dependents, you can claim up to 35 percent of $6,000 (or $2,100) of eligible expenses. The credit percentage is reduced for higher-income earners but not below 20 percent, regardless of the amount of adjusted gross income. This tax credit is nonrefundable.

Even if you don't have dependent children if you care for an elderly relative and can claim them as a dependent, you might be able to take the Child and Dependent Care Credit. Please call for details.

3. Earned Income Tax Credit

Taxpayers who worked but earned less than $56,844 in 2020 could qualify for this credit, which is worth up to $$6,660 in 2020. Taxpayers may qualify with or without children.

Due to the pandemic, taxpayers can use their 2019 earned income to figure your EITC, if their 2019 earned income was more than their 2020 earned income.

4. Additional Child Tax Credit

This refundable tax credit is for certain individual taxpayers for whom the Child Tax Credit exceeds the amount of income tax owed. The credit is worth $1,400 and may give you a refund even if you do not owe any tax.

Due to the pandemic, taxpayers may be able to use their 2019 earned income to figure this credit if their 2019 earned income is more than your 2020 earned income.

5. Adoption Credit.

It is possible to claim a tax credit for certain costs paid to adopt a child. For details, see Form 8839, Qualified Adoption Expenses.

6. Education Tax Credits

An education credit can help with higher education costs. Two credits are available: the American Opportunity Tax Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit. These credits may reduce the amount of tax owed. If the credit cuts a taxpayer's tax to less than zero, it could mean a refund. Taxpayers may qualify even if they owe no tax. Complete Form 8863, Education Credits, and file a return to claim these credits.

7. Student Loan Interest

Taxpayers may be able to deduct interest paid on a qualified student loan. They can claim this benefit even if they do not itemize deductions. If you're not sure if the interest you paid on a student or educational loan is deductible, don't hesitate to call.

Questions?

If you have any questions about tax credits and deductions that could benefit your tax situation, please contact the office.

There are couple of fundamental choices which charge filers in the U.S. pick while setting up their yearly government forms: documenting charges all alone electronically with the assistance of assessment arrangement programming, enlisting an authorized proficient, for example, an affirmed open bookkeeper Frisco (CPA), or strolling into a customer facing facade impose readiness business. Every one of the three get ready assessments for a charge as a byproduct of master meeting. Furthermore, obviously, the higher the ability required, the higher the expenses.

For this situation, acquiring charge planning programming & Accounting Tx Firm is frequently the most reasonable course. Be that as it may, at last, it's practically identical to documenting your own particular charges. In view of this, numerous filers feel more certain having their duties arranged by a genuine live individual (other than themselves). To this end, numerous filers ponder whether it is ideal to get a CPA or contract an administration like H&R Piece. The answer is (as is run of the mill with money related matters): "It depends."

A Indian CPA is somebody who has had a thorough instruction and has been prepared to meet high expert norms and take after a strict code of morals to get authorized by the American Establishment of Affirmed Open Bookkeepers. CPAs have broad learning and years of involvement with expense law, including state charge law (for instance, a Seattle-or Bellevue-based CPA is required to pass examinations appropriate to Washington state assess codes).

The Human Touch

As you probably are aware, PC innovation has made considerable progress, and most bookkeepers utilize programming to help them carry out their occupations.

Six Tips for Starting Your Own Business

Starting your own business can be an exciting prospect, but there is more to it than simply writing a business plan. Also, if you expect to have employees, there are a variety of federal and state forms and applications that you need to complete to get your business up and running. That's where a tax professional can help. With this in mind, let's take a look at what you need to know before you start a new business.

1. Business Entity

 The first decision you need to make is determining which business entity you will use because the type of business structure you choose determines what taxes you need to pay and how to pay them, as well as which income tax return you file. The most common types of business entities are:

Sole     proprietorship - An unincorporated business owned by an individual.     There's no distinction between the taxpayer and their business.

Partnership - An     unincorporated business with ownership shared between two or more people.

Corporation -     Also known as a C corporation. It’s a separate entity owned by     shareholders.

S Corporation -     A corporation that elects to pass corporate income, losses, deductions and     credits through to the shareholders.

Limited     Liability Company - A business structure allowed by state statute.

2. Employer Identification Number (EIN)

 Securing an Employer Identification Number (also known as a Federal Tax Identification Number) is the first thing you must do since many other forms require it. The IRS issues EINs to employers, sole proprietors, corporations, partnerships, nonprofit associations, trusts, estates, government agencies, certain individuals, and other business entities for tax filing and reporting purposes.

An EIN is used to identify a business. Most businesses need one of these numbers. A business with an EIN needs to keep the business mailing address, location, and responsible party up to date. IRS regulations require EIN holders to report changes in the responsible party within 60 days. They do this by completing Form 8822-B, Change of Address or Responsible Party, and mailing it to the address on the form.

Even if you already have an EIN as a sole proprietor, for example, if you start a new business with a different business entity, you will need to apply for a new EIN.

The fastest way to apply for an EIN is online through the IRS website or by telephone. Applying by fax and mail generally takes one to two weeks, and you can apply for one EIN per day. There is no cost to apply.

3. Choosing a Tax Year

 A tax year is defined as an annual accounting period for keeping records and reporting income and expenses. A new business owner must choose either calendar year or fiscal year defined as follows:

Calendar year. 12     consecutive months beginning January 1 and ending December 31.

Fiscal year. 12     consecutive months ending on the last day of any month except December.

4. State Withholding, Unemployment, Sales, and other Business Taxes

 Once you have your EIN, you need to fill out forms to establish an account with the state for payroll tax withholding, Unemployment Insurance Registration, and sales tax collections (if applicable). Business taxes include income tax, self-employment tax, employment tax, and excise tax. Generally, the type of tax your business pays depends on the type of business structure. Keep in mind that you may also need to make estimated tax payments.

5. Payroll Record Keeping

 Payroll reporting and recordkeeping can be very time-consuming and costly. Also, keep in mind that almost all employers are required to transmit federal payroll tax deposits electronically. Personnel files should be kept for each employee and include an employee's employment application as well as the following:

Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance     Certificate. Completed by the employee and used to calculate     their federal income tax withholding. This form also includes necessary     information such as the employee's address and Social Security number.

Form I-9 Employment Eligibility     Verification U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. This     form verifies that an employee is legally permitted to work in the U.S.

6. Employee Healthcare

 As an employer with employees, you may have certain healthcare requirements you need to comply with as well. If so, you should know about the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit, which helps small businesses (fewer than 25 employees who work full-time or a combination of full-time and part-time) pay for health care coverage they offer their employees. The maximum credit is 50 percent of premiums paid for small business employers and 35 percent of premiums paid for small tax-exempt employers, such as charities. It is available to eligible employers for two consecutive taxable years.

Questions?

If you have any questions or need help setting up a payroll and accounting system for your new business, help is just a phone call away.

Here's what Americans will do with their tax refunds

Here’s what Americans will do with their tax refunds

“Paying down bad debt with a tax refund could be the ideal decision,” said Austin Winsett, a CPA and wealth advisor at Exencial Wealth Advisors in Frisco, Texas.

With consumer debt at a record high, more than 1 in 3 people — or 86 million Americans — now say they are afraid they’ll max out their credit card when making a large purchase, according to a separate survey by WalletHub.

amplify: Building relationships at trade shows

Trade shows are all about making connections.

Lisa Ludwig, President/CEO of Pool Route Sales USA Inc. in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., found that giving the right trade show giveaways at the right time is the key to drawing people in and starting a conversation. Her company offered Value Lip Balm at a January 2018 trade show.

Draw people into your booth to start a conversation!

“It was the week of a big freeze in Houston, Texas. Needless to say, with the cold, dry air chapping lips, everyone stopped at our booth for lip balm!” Ludwig said. “Even people running other trade show tables were coming over because we had lip balm. We got a lot of other vendors to visit us, and that helped build some new relationships.”

  Conversations start relationships

The 2018 Trade Show Sales Survey Results e-book, based on an original study conducted by 4imprint®, showed that nearly 30 percent of respondents attend 11 or more trade shows per year. The top three reasons for attending trade shows:

While these events are a great way to accomplish all of the goals, trade show visitors typically only spend an average of 15 seconds at each booth. That surprising statistic from Exhibitor Live indicates that trade show exhibitors have a very tiny window to capture potential customers’ attention.

Make a memorable first impression

The 4imprint survey found that respondents from companies with 50 to 999 employees most commonly used promotional products as a giveaway in return for a one-on-one conversation. But before you can offer someone a promotional product, you have to catch their eye.

“One of the best ways to catch people’s attention is with items that move, light up and make noise. And many of the flashiest, most eye-catching trade show swag ideas are toys,” said Jen Klitzke, trade show manager at 4imprint.

“While you might think that adults wouldn’t be interested in toys, I’ve seen a Light-Up Yo-Yo draw in everyone from interns to high-ranking CEOs. These visitors always want to pick one up, try it out and take it home. And what could be better than that? No matter who plays with it in the household— or maybe it’ll serve as a nice break during the workday—your brand will light up their days,” Klitzke said.

Having the coolest trade show swag is also a surefire way to draw people to your booth.

“Sometimes the best way to make an impression is to use trade show giveaways that no one else is offering, but that everyone just has to have.” Klitzke said.

One item that is especially popular is the Fusion Bound Journal, which has a cell phone holder, a pocket for business cards and a pen loop right on the front cover.

Leave your next event on a high note with this customizable journal!

Keep the conversation going—at the table and beyond

When trying to make a sale or build a relationship, it can be easy to do a lot of talking and not enough listening. When talking to clients, it’s critical to engage in a back-and-forth conversation, using the acquired information to help a customer address their needs.

The National Association of Sales Professionals suggests that you:

Be ready with qualifying questions. You can only sell to someone who needs your product or service, so make sure the person you’re speaking with can use what you have to offer.

Ask about your client’s hot buttons or pain points. Listen carefully to their answers. The better you understand your buyer’s needs, the better you’ll be able to help them.

Anticipate objections. Sales reps who know why a buyer might pass on their company allows them to be ready with answers. That means customers will be more confident that your company can solve their problems.

Once you’ve determined a person can use your product or service, it’s common to connect them with a sales representative or invite them to learn more about your business.

4imprint’s survey showed that 30 percent of respondents offer a promo product in exchange for watching a product demonstration, while 20 percent give one for attending a seminar or presentation.

The 4imprint trade show study also showed that tech products are by far the most desirable trade show giveaways.

People on every trade show floor always seem to be looking for a place to charge their phone. Handing out tech—like charging cables— can make your booth very popular. The Duo Charging Cable with Phone Stand, compatible with Android® devices and iPhone®, is an excellent giveaway choice. This portable power source is compact and clips to a keychain when not in use.

These custom cables are perfect tech accessories!

Great gifts make for great follow-up conversations

According to the 4imprint survey, another popular way to use trade show giveaways to build relationships is by adding a memorable promotional gift to follow-up messages once the trade show is over.

Studies have shown that 80 percent of exhibitors don’t follow up on their trade show leads, which means that all the expense of attending a trade show didn’t lead to longer-term relationships. Organize your leads by hot, warm and cold, based on whether they need an immediate call from a sale rep, an email offering further information or occasional reminders when you have a new product or service.

By offering a promotional product during or after the show, your prospects are more likely to remember you. Legalinc Corporate Services in Frisco, Texas, used trade show giveaways to promote their legal solutions. Digital Marketing Coordinator Will Nye said that at a recent paralegal conference, the company used the Customized Majestic Mug to market their legal solutions to potential business partners, like attorneys and CPAs. They chose the mug to make a lasting impression.

“A lot of companies use free giveaways, but we use it as marketing collateral, something to give away at conferences that people don’t throw away, so the items sit on desks,” Nye said.

The mug turned out to be an awareness booster—and a great way to keep relationships going long-term.

“Compared to previous conferences, people were much more open to being contacted, and a significantly higher number of people wanted to be reached out to,” Nye said.

Relationships lead to sales

Trade show giveaways and one-on-one conversations can help you get the sales leads you need to build your business. Just choose useful promotional products to go along with each customer touchpoint, and you’ll be on your way to growing your business. Good luck!
