Thanks to Covid, over 11 million of the then 28.8 million business, either had to close their doors temporarily or either walked away completely!


Estimates that while boomers are walking away from business, millennials have created some new businesses so that we now have 32 million business owners!


Both groups, with the existing economy, need help to stay afloat. Besides the 2 types of ERC that Congress created, they created and funded other programs to the tune of $2.3 trillion. These are not loans, grants or PPP.


Our company built a quick search tool so that it can see what you qualify for. It only takes about 60 seconds. Check it out here or use the QR code above. As of today, there are 35 days until T-day!!!!!


Also, feel free to pass this along to anyone else as we're coming up on deadlines and wouldn't want anyone to miss out. Non-profits too!!!

You Need Better Tools...!!!


The other day I spoke with one CPA that was completely unaware that their Client had purchased an additional building (over $2M in cost), and another CPA that upon delivery of our Cost Segregation report didn’t understand where we got our figures from only to find out the Client spent over $300K in renovations last year that they failed to tell the CPA about.

Most business Owners are guilty of … running their business. As business Owners, we make decisions today that are good for our company and good for our bottom line, with little to no regard of how it affects our tax strategy (and it usually wouldn’t cross our minds to call our CPA in the middle of summer to review something for next April).

What Can I Do About It?

Step #1 for most business Owners I’ve talked to is:

Pound their fist on the desk angrily while complaining about the government

When that ceases to provide relief move on to the below Step 2

Step #2 (True Step #1)

For some business Owners, you bit the bullet and made a payment on tax day, for others you either filed extensions or simply filed without making a payment and are going to wait for the dreaded IRS bills to arrive.

In either instance, the good news is that just because tax is coming doesn’t mean your numbers are written in stone. There is over $200B in Federal Tax Incentives allocated to small and mid sized businesses to help offset your liability.

We’ve developed a simple online tool for business owners to check in 30 seconds if you qualify for any Federal Programs.

The Great Shock of April 15th

 


There are a few common questions I keep hearing.

#1 – How Did I End Up Owing Money?

There are four key areas that contributed this year to so many companies owing:

  1. Surprise Profitability
  2. The last several years have been decent if you’re lucky but dismal for most. This caused most companies to pull back on quarterly tax prepayments, or often eliminate them altogether.

  3. 2021 Was Better Than Expected
    There is no question that 2021 started an upswing that is continuing to get stronger with each passing quarter (even for those companies have yet to feel the impact of that upswing). Once income began to flow again, many businesses were forced to make capital investments that were years overdue. This means that although 2021 was in fact more profitable, it wasn’t “felt” by many Owners. Not all investments may be written off in the current year. Even if the bank account hasn’t recovered, the P&L sheets have and additionally the IRS considers many to be profitable and out of AMT. Even if the bank accounts don’t reflect the same.

  4. Tax Breaks Disappeared
    Without many major tax breaks that companies have not only come to enjoy, but have come to count on, many are finding themselves with unexpected increases to their tax liabilities.

  5. Tax Rates Increasing
    Tax rates have increased, for example; the recent Personal Limit increase to 40% and Capital Gains increasing from 15% – 25%.

#2 – Why Didn’t My CPA Warn Me?

Many owners are left wondering:

  • Did my CPA let me down?
  • Why didn’t they prepare me for this?

The reality is, your CPA only knows the information you provide to them And for most of us business Owners we don’t do our CPAs any favors. As Owners we know this, and if we are honest we’ll admit that we just don’t take the time necessary to discuss an overall tax strategy with our CPA.

Yesterday I spoke with one CPA that was completely unaware that their Client had purchased an additional building (over $2M in cost), and another CPA that upon delivery of our Cost Segregation report didn’t understand where we got our figures from only to find out the Client spent over $300K in renovations last year that they failed to tell the CPA about.

Tick Tock


The Employee Retention Tax Credit was initiated in March 2020 to encourage business owners to retain staff during the COVID-19 pandemic. Two years later, we find ourselves in a time of economic instability with increasingly lower profit margins for small businesses. Adding to this burden, the Employee Retention Tax Credit will begin slowly slipping away.


We encourage you to know what your business is entitled to, as it does mean the difference between surviving and thriving in the year to come!
