We do get hit a bit harder than most on income tax if you're in the top couple 
of brackets.

Wow. Your property taxes seem pretty high. Similarly, here in California, 
property taxes are not a state tax at all, but a local tax to (primarily) pay 
for schools.

 

When we had our S corp, our CPA advised us to pay a salary, but only enough to 
keep the IRS satisfied that we were paying salaries. So we each took a token 
salary, and any excess revenue was taken as a "distribution to shareholders". 
We paid minimal payroll taxes as a result.

no effect on the state’s spending or taxing decisions.  It just takes several

The escrow payment which includes tax+insurance is around $360 or so.   My
homeowners insurance is somewhat smaller than one would expect for the
appraisal mainly due to the house being a smaller portion of the property
value than normal for here since I'm on 20 acres.

Our property tax is around $700/month. Insurance is a separate thing around
$110/month (but we pay both annually).

Mine appraised at 334K when I refinanced a couple years back.  Tax bill is
around $2.8K.

We also don't have a sales tax in the majority of the state (a couple of
tourist towns have a local sales tax to help pay for infrastructure that
the tourists consume).

We do get hit a bit harder than most on income tax if you're in the top
couple of brackets.

Wow. Your property taxes seem pretty high. Similarly, here in California, 
property taxes are not a state tax at all, but a local tax to (primarily) pay 
for schools. 


When we had our S corp, our CPA advised us to pay a salary, but only enough to 
keep the IRS satisfied that we were paying salaries. So we each took a token 
salary, and any excess revenue was taken as a "distribution to shareholders". 
We paid minimal payroll taxes as a result.

Re: [AFMUG] OT: Tax cut my ass...

2019-04-01 Thread CBB - Jay Fuller

Our accountant told us a long long time ago we pretty much had to do this.  
Looking back I'm glad I've done this because basically I am paying into social 
security and if, by some insane chance it is still there in 30 yearsi'll 
have paid into it.  Instead of taking a distribution and then having to pay 
self-employment tax (which i do anyway because i am also self employed in my 
other business)

oh yay.


 
  The other thing I’m going to have to discuss with my accountant is the S Corp 
pass through change.  It could be really stupid now for my company to be paying 
me a salary, maybe a distribution would be the way to go.  I’m not sure.  I 
always tried to do the right thing and pay myself a reasonable salary so the 
government could get their various payroll taxes, but maybe I’m being a moron.

Whatever happened to states rights?  The states have a right to decide what
level of service/taxation they like.  What it BS is the federal government
taxing you on money that you never made because it was taxed at the state

Im glad they dropped the SALT to 10 percent. I wish they would phase it out
to zero. Force the states to get their houses in order, force people to
make more sound decisions in both purchases and in whom they check off at
the ballots. No more raising taxes and saying, its all good, you can write
it off on your federal.

Re: [AFMUG] OT: Tax cut my ass...

2019-04-01 Thread Forrest Christian (List Account)
One gotcha I found with my taxes (when doing the estimates for the
extension) is that many preparers and tax software don't handle the
pass-through entity deduction correctly.

If you have a s-corp or a partnership or a LLC or similar which passes
through it's income to you, then in many cases up to 20% of this can
be written off regardless of what else is going on on your return.
I.E. it's a separate deduction from either your standard or itemized
deduction.

I though I was getting hit really hard until I figured out that this
hadn't been applied correctly.

All state and local taxes (SALT) limited to $10K deduction so income tax, sales 
tax, and property tax.  Trust me, it's not hard to exceed $10K in property 
taxes alone.  Also property tax is typically local, not state, and in many 
areas is the primary means of funding public schools.

Real estate tax on farmland used for crops and livestock is still 100% 
deductible.

Yeah, our taxes don't reach that threshold. Mainly because we bought our house

wrong - the deduction for taxes - state, property, sales, etc. was capped at 
$10K.  If itemized deductions were capped at $10K there would be a lot of

The IRS website shows what changed.   Tax rates did in fact go down... but
deductions were eliminated and/or capped lower and so that's where the
sticker shock is coming from.   Itemized deductions were capped at 10k for
example, if I remember correctly.

Two observations ... a very broad brush summary:

--no longer are people with big mortgages being tax-subsidized by people
with smaller mortgages
--no longer are States with low(er) property taxes tax-subsidizing States

I have a pretty scrupulous CPA and an equally anal tax attorney.  If I ever get 
it trouble it will be a huge surprise.

There was an article in the paper I think today about how the IRS doesn’t have 
the staff to go after people who don’t pay their taxes, it used Michael 
Avenatti as an example.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/28/opinion/irs-taxes.html

 

There was also an article online about how the FCC and FTC hardly ever collect 
any of their fines.

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/03/fcc-fined-robocallers-208-million-since-2015-but-collected-only-6790/

 

So apparently the answer is just don’t pay your taxes.  Heck be like Avenatti 
and don’t even file.

Clearly you don't make enough money to deserve a tax cut...  I kid.  The 
increase in the standard deduction is great though.  Paves the way for a future 
administration to get rid of the formerly sacred mortgage interest deduction.

Did you not communicate with your accountant last year on how to prepare?
Or did you just get killed by SALT?
