If you own a business, you have probably heard about the Section 199A Deduction. This is also known as a Qualified Business Income Deduction. You may wonder what exactly this is and how does it work? David Mills CPA has put together information to help you better understand the 199A Deduction.
The 199A Deduction reduces taxable income but not adjusted gross income. This deduction does not lower Illinois taxable income or does not lower self-employment tax.
The 199A Deduction is available to sole proprietors, partners, and S corporation shareholders. It is not available to C corporations.
The calculation for the 199A Deduction can be complex. It is partly dependent on the taxpayer’s total taxable income. There are no limits for married filing jointly taxpayers with $315,000 or less of taxable income. There are typically no limits on the deduction regardless of whether the business is a specified service trade or business.
The deduction is the lesser of the Qualified Business Income or 20 percent of taxable income minus long-term capital gains.
Limits exist for married filing joint taxpayers with taxable incomes between $315,000 and $415,000. A limit begins to phase in based on wages and/or qualified property acquisitions.
If you earn an income above $415,000, limits are determined based on W-2 wages and qualified property acquisitions. This deduction is not available to the taxpayer under certain circumstances.
If you are looking for more information or need help with your 199A Deduction, contact David Mills CPA today. Our team of experts will be happy to assist you with all of your financial needs. David Mills offers financial and accounting services to small and medium-sized businesses, as well as individuals in Peoria, IL as well as the surrounding areas. We look forward to hearing from you!
When it comes to paying your taxes, many people find themselves scrambling in April trying to get their act together. While you may think it would be an annual routine for many, about 20% of people wait until the last week to pay their taxes. Are you in that 20%? Whether you are or are not, understanding the benefits of filing taxes earlier than later is very important and will help taxpayers in the long run.
The most obvious reason to file your taxes early is to receive your tax refund as soon as you can. Last year the IRS made it possible to have your tax refund direct deposited into your account, which will allow you to receive your tax refund even faster rather than waiting weeks for a paper return.
Tax fraud is a major issue that many people end up having to deal with. While tax fraud is more common than you think, there are ways to prevent it. One of these ways is to file your taxes as early as possible. By filing taxes early, it will be more difficult for criminals to pull off. This is because if the IRS receives a duplicate return after you have already filed yours, it will be noted as fraudulent. If you have not filed yours yet, you could be in trouble.
If you discover that you owe a balance to the IRS, filing taxes early will allow you extra time to sort everything out. If you file as soon as you can in January, then you will have until mid-April to come up with the extra money that you owe. The extra time makes it much less stressful for you and your financial situation.
If you wait until the last minute to file your taxes, you may find yourself scrambling in search of receipts, personal information, etc. Thus, leading to the need for a tax extension. This turns into a serious issue when you owe a balance to the IRS and do not pay what you owe. The IRS will charge you interest and penalties until the full amount is paid off. Filing your taxes early will help you avoid all of these potential issues.
Waiting until the last minute to file taxes will do nothing but add additional stress to your life. You will feel the pressure to find your needed information and file as fast as you possibly can, which can lead to errors and other problems down the road. Tax season is stressful enough, there is no need to add even more stress by waiting until the last minute.

No matter the type or size of your business, the tax man will come knocking on your door when tax season comes among us. It is always best to have your books in order and up to date when that time comes. We know this may seem like a hassle to keep up with yourself, but by following our tips below, you will be on your way to better, more organized accounts this year and a more successful business.
Becoming and remaining organized is incredibly important to keep your finances in order. The good news is that this doesn’t have to be complicated. Keeping up with basic spreadsheets showing all your funds received and paid out is a simple way to track your finances. At the end of every month, check to ensure your records align with the money in your bank account to ensure balanced accounts.
We understand that handling your financials is not the most straightforward task to take on yourself, which is why we always recommend hiring a professional accountant in your area to take care of the dirty work for you. By hiring a professional, you can rest assured knowing your accounts are in good hands, you are up to date with all rules and laws, and you aren’t missing out on any tax allowances. By hiring an accountant, you can put all of your attention on growing your business.
There are many benefits when separating your personal and business finances. Not only will it make your business look more professional, but it will make it much easier to separate personal and business expenses when tax time comes. Depending on how your business is set up, it may be required by law to have separate accounts. Ask a local accountant in your area if you are curious whether this is necessary for your business.
Waiting until the last minute to get your finances in order is never a good idea. Procrastinating this task usually leads to additional issues down the road; by then, it is too late to have it sorted out. Staying on top of your receipts and invoices will make it easier for you and your accountant to get your accounts sorted out promptly. And not to mention it will help your overall business run more smoothly.
Following the four tips above, you should be on your way to better, more organized accounts. The more you keep track of and have up to date, the easier it will be when tax season comes along.
