捐赠给慈善机构

You can deduct cash donations to certain qualified charitable organizations even if you take the standard deduction.  2021年, the amount you can deduct in addition to your standard deduction is $600 per tax return for married filing jointly and $300 for all others. 

将最大金额存入退休账户

Try to increase your 401(k) contributions so that you are putting in the maximum amount allowed ($19,500年2021年, $26,50岁或以上者，则为000).  或者，至少你的雇主会提供相应的金额.  税前贡献减少你的应税工资.

也可以考虑加入个人退休账户.  你必须在2022年4月18日之前缴纳2021年的个人退休账户.  作出可扣除个人退休帐户的供款将减少你的应税收入的一年.  You can contribute a maximum of $6,000 for 2021, plus an additional $1,000 if you are 50 or over.  

检查IRA分布

最低分配要求在2020年暂停，但在2021年必须满足.  You must start taking regular minimum distributions from your traditional IRA by April 1 following the year you reach age 72 (70 ½ if you reached 70 ½ prior to January 1, 2020).  未能实现所需的最低分发将触发罚款. 

QBI扣除

当你在上面的门槛之下, you find your deduction by applying the 20 percent to the lesser of your defined qualified business income, 或应纳税所得额中不确定的其他项目. 

例子: 如果你定义了100美元的QBI,000元，应税收入120元,没有资本收益, 你的第199A项扣款是20美元,000(100美元的20%,000). 

抵消资本利得

短期资本收益按普通所得税税率纳税.  Consider examining your portfolio for stocks that you could sell that would produce a tax loss to offset your capital gains.  长期收益首先被损失抵消，然后被短期收益抵消.  如果你的资本损失超过了资本收益, 您最多可以扣除3美元的资本损失,000，可以将额外的损失转移到未来的年份. 

预提和估计 税

If you expect a large increase in income before the end of the year or have been receiving unemployment benefits without withholding, please let us know so we can determine if the appropriate amount of tax has been paid for the year.  根据收入的类型，你也可能需要缴纳净投资所得税.  Penalties for underpayment of tax could be assessed for taxpayers who do not pay enough tax throughout the year, 通过预提或预估纳税.  

 

业务 |注意事项 

100%商务餐费扣除

A temporary exception to the business deduction for food and beverages has been increased to 100% for amounts paid to 餐厅 2021年1月1日至2022年12月31日.  这一临时100%扣除是为了在疫情期间帮助餐馆.  The 50% limitation for business meals still applies to food and beverages purchased from other establishments such as a grocery store or convenience store. 

Health Insurance for >2% S-Corp Shareholders

If you are a >2% owner of an S corporation and the business has paid for your health insurance or reimbursed you, 确保费用包括在你的W-2表中.  如果健康保险不包括在你的W-2报表中, the IRS position is that health insurance will be treated as an itemized deduction subject to a 7.AGI限制的5%.  这些款项不需要缴纳工资税. 

采购业务资产

奖金折旧率为100%，并增加了第179条费用的限额, you can expense the entire cost of most assets you buy and place in service before December 31, 2021. Qualifying bonus depreciation and Section 179 purchases include new and used personal property such as machinery, 设备, 电脑, 和家具. 

企业退休计划

One of the best ways for small businesses to reduce their taxes is to set up a retirement plan.  业务es may be able to lower their taxable income by funding qualified retirement savings plans.  此外，某些企业也可以享受税收抵免.  

内政部扣除

Due to the Pandemic, we understand that more small business owners have begun working from home.  You may be eligible for the home office deduction which can help reduce your taxes for housing expenses that you are already incurring.  You must regularly use part of your home exclusively for conducting business and your home should be your principal place of business. 

不要认为你扣除了太多

If your allowable business deductions exceed your business income, you have a tax loss for the year. 在对亏损做了一些修改之后，税法将其称为“净经营亏损”，简称NOL.  如果你刚刚开始你的事业，你很可能会有一个不赞成. 即使你的生意持续成功，你也可能有亏损的一年.  你可以将2021年的nol提前到未来的年份, 为您的企业创造一个有利的形式，未来的税收责任储蓄. 

这一切意味着什么? 你永远不应该停止记录你的扣款, 你应该总是要求你所有合法的推理. 

回顾你的企业是如何建立的

As your business and income grows, the best form of tax structure for your business may change.  We can help you review your tax structure and evaluate the short-term and long-term considerations to help you determine if converting the tax structure of your business makes sense.
