The SECURE 2.0 Act makes major changes to 401(k), IRA, Roth, and other retirement savings plans. Here's what you need to know.
The SECURE 2.0 Act is a recently enacted significant piece of legislation that has brought about substantial changes to the retirement account rules in the United States. These changes which go into effect at different times (some for 2023 and others in 2024 or later years) affect retirement savings plans such as 401(k), 403(b), IRA, Roth accounts, and related tax breaks.
The primary objective of this new law is to encourage more workers to save for their retirement. However, some of the complex changes have confused some taxpayers and plan sponsors. Therefore, it is important to understand the key points of the law. More than 90 provisions in SECURE 2.0 cover all types of retirement savings plans. Some requirements are in place now, as of 2023. Other provisions will become effective in the new year, 2024, or in later years, i.e., 2025, 2026, or 2027.
Some changes in SECURE 2.0 involve:

This question has been asked a lot this year so I figure I would take the time to address it. The issue has become such a problem for so many a few years back the IRS came up with a withholding calculator. So get out your latest pay check stub from this year and head to this website.
Filing an extension of time for your business with form 7004 and file with the State it is incorporated in. It's important to know that some states do not have an individual state tax return but do require a state tax return to be filed. For personal extensions please file form 4868. These extensions give you time (6 months from the deadline due dates) to file a complete and accurate tax return. It does not allow for the extension to pay. If you owe monies the IRS can charge a penalty of failure to pay and can charge interest on the amount that you owe from the original due date of the tax returns. You can FIND these forms in our section below under PDF forms available!!!!
So there is a lot to read about this. I attached a link so you can see if your business would be receiving one of these in 2024.
irs.gov)refunds | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov link will provide you the answers you need to find out the status of your refund. The IRS is very far behind in issuing refunds right now. Some of you still may not have received your refund for the 2020 tax year. You can call IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
Below is a link to IRS's site that you can determine through income, filing status and retirement income if you should file a tax return this year.
Who Should File a Tax Return | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov)
I have added a link to IRS in this one. So many people set up their own businesses without consult. This will help those who are looking to file for themselves which forms based on the type of entity they created.
The Internal Revenue will then send a check to the address that is on the tax return for that year.
For both Individuals and Corporations, we can amend tax returns that we have previously submitted. We would file forms 1040X, 1120-X 941-C or amendments for S Corps and Partnerships to address what was left out of the original return. It is quite common for this to happen so don't worry we can address it and correct it.
Your fee for the tax preparation is based on which forms you file. I like to be as accurate as possible so if you want a quote for your personal tax preparation fee please send us a copy of your prior year tax return and if you are to file the same forms we can accurately give you a price.
If you have had identity theft in the past or have opted to receive a pin number each year in order to file your 1040 tax return electronically, we need this form to file. Each year you are provided a new IPIN and it is mailed to you normally in January from the Internal Revenue Service.
If you did not receive this letter from IRS please contact them online or at 1-800-829-1040. WWW.irs.gov
Yes. We do prepare taxes in all States in the US. So, if you need a part year or full year or even a non-resident tax return prepared, we can do that at the time we prepare your federal tax return. If you are new and we have not prepared your taxes in the past and would like just a state tax return prepared, we can do that. However, keep in mind we must input all of your federal tax information from form 1040 in that year to prepare that state tax return. So, the preparation fee will be charged for both the Federal and State Tax return for each year.
For 2023, the total contributions you make each year to all of your traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs can't be more than: $6,500 ($7,500 if you're age 50 or older), or. If less, your taxable compensation for the year.
For 2024 the contributions to IRAs for those under age 50 is $7,000.00 and those over age 50 $8,000.00
The deduction value for medical expenses varies because the amount changes based on your income. In 2023, the IRS allows all taxpayers to deduct their total qualified unreimbursed medical care expenses that exceed 7.5% of their adjusted gross income if the taxpayer uses Schedule A to itemize their deductions. Your adjusted gross income (AGI) is your taxable income minus any adjustments to income, such as contributions to a traditional IRA and deductible student loan interest.
For example, if you have an AGI of $45,000 and $5,475 of medical expenses, you would multiply $45,000 by 0.075 (7.5%) to find that only expenses exceeding $3,375 can be included as an itemized deduction. This leaves you with a medical expense deduction of $2,100 ($5,475 minus $3,375) answer to this item.
What Is the S Corp Late Filing Penalty Abatement? The S Corp Late Filing Penalty Abatement is a waiver that a company can apply for to ask the IRS to reduce or eliminate assessed penalties. These costly penalties are charged to companies who don't file, don't pay, or don't deposit money due to the IRS in a timely manner. This process is not used for relief of penalties associated with the accuracy of returns. Acknowledging that everyone makes mistakes, the IRS offers this as a reward for companies who are normally compliant with the deadlines. What Is the Purpose of Late Filing Penalties? Taxes and penalties can be infuriating. They must be paid according to strict deadlines and sometimes they seem arbitrary and unfair. But the IRS emphasizes that the purpose of penalties is to encourage compliance, not generate more money. How Does Penalty Abatement Work? The IRS set up the first-time penalty abatement administrative waiver (FTA) more than 10 years ago. This process allows companies with a history of compliance to ask the IRS to reduce or remove penalties. It's only available the first time a company makes such an error. Often that amounts to many dollars saved for the company. Even though the FTA has been available for several years, very few taxpayers take advantage of it. In 2012, a report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) stated that most companies just don't know it exists. The report also points out that the IRS has an automated tool for penalty determinations, and it often incorrectly denies FTAs. Benefits of the FTA Process • The FTA is easy for the IRS to process. • The FTA cites specific language from the Internal Revenue Manual to support the decision. • The FTA process lets tax professionals work efficiently and maximize their time. How to Apply for an FTA Taxpayers can apply for an FTA in multiple ways in certain circumstances. • The first way is to apply before the penalty is ever assessed. The taxpayer files a penalty non-assertion request along with their official return asking the Internal Revenue Service not to levy a penalty.
• The second method is later in the process when the IRS has already levied the penalty. The company writes a penalty abatement letter. The taxpayer can also call the IRS or reach them via e-services. • The last method takes place after the penalty has already been paid. Form 843, Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement, lets the taxpayer ask for a refund. It must be filed within 36 months of when the return was due or within 24 months of the penalty payment. Categories of Relief Four categories of abatement from penalties are available. • Reasonable cause • Statutory exceptions • Correction of IRS error • Administrative waivers: This involves the IRS formally stating or clarifying a provision that gives abatement from a penalty. The statement can take the form of a policy publication, press release, or another form of official communication. The FTA is the most common form of an administrative waiver. Who Qualifies for Penalty Abatement? To get an FTA waiver, a taxpayer must: • Have filed all the required returns or at least have filed a valid extension. • Not have an open request for a return from the IRS. • Have paid or entered an installment plan to pay all taxes due. If a payment plan is in place, the installments must be current. • Have no prior penalties in the last three years except for an estimated tax penalty. Receiving reasonable cause relief in the past does not disqualify the business from receiving an FTA. What Kind of Penalties Can Be Abated? The FTA can only apply to some types of penalties and returns. Sometimes determining eligibility is the hardest part of the process. • Individuals can ask for an FTA for failure to file or failure to pay penalties. Estate and gift tax returns are ineligible. • Business taxpayers, including those who remit payroll taxes, can apply for an FTA for failure to file, failure to pay, and failure to deposit penalties. Though it is not spelled out specifically in the Internal Revenue Manual, the IRS practice has been to allow FTAs for S corps and partnerships.
Consulting with an accountant is a prudent move for individuals and businesses at various stages and under different circumstances. Here are some key situations in which you should consider speaking to an accountant:
If you're launching a new business, an accountant can help you choose the right business structure (e.g., S Corp or Single Member LLC, corporation or partnership) that aligns with your financial and tax goals. They can also assist with setting up financial systems and ensuring compliance with tax regulations from the beginning.
As your business evolves, you may need to restructure or expand. Accountants can help you make informed decisions, such as mergers, acquisitions, or changing your business structure, to optimize financial outcomes.
When seeking financing, whether for business expansion, real estate purchases, or personal loans, accountants can prepare the necessary financial statements and documents to present a strong case to lenders.
If you're facing tax problems, our team of tax resolution specialists can help you resolve your issues and get back on track, so you can focus on running your business.
If you're facing an audit by the IRS or have concerns about back taxes or tax debt, it's crucial to consult an accountant. They can represent you in dealings with tax authorities and help you navigate complex tax issues.
Accountants can assist with retirement planning, helping you understand your retirement savings options, estimate retirement income, and ensure you're taking full advantage of tax-advantaged retirement accounts.
**Risk Management: ** Accountants can help identify financial risks and develop strategies to mitigate them. They can also advise on insurance coverage and strategies to protect your financial interests.
Consulting with an accountant is beneficial in a wide range of scenarios.

One of the primary functions of a bookkeeper is to maintain accurate and up-to-date financial records. This includes recording all financial transactions, such as sales, expenses, and payroll. These records serve as the foundation for financial statements, which are crucial for understanding the financial health of the business.
A bookkeeper ensures that a business remains compliant with relevant tax laws and regulations. Tax codes can be complex and subject to change, and non-compliance can lead to costly penalties. By staying current on tax requirements and deadlines, a bookkeeper can help the business avoid legal troubles and optimize its tax liabilities.
Delegating bookkeeping tasks to a professional allows business owners and employees to focus on core operations. It saves time and resources that can be redirected toward growing the business, improving customer service, or developing new products and services.
Beyond data entry, bookkeepers offer invaluable insights through financial analysis. They can generate financial reports and statements that provide a clear picture of the business's financial performance. These reports help business owners make informed decisions, identify areas for improvement, and plan for the future.
Bookkeepers can analyze financial data to identify areas of overspending or inefficiency. They help in managing cash flow, controlling costs, and ultimately improving profitability. Their expertise in financial management can make a substantial difference in the bottom line.
Businesses looking to secure funding, expand, or set long-term goals need accurate financial documentation. A bookkeeper can provide the financial statements and forecasts that are essential for loan applications, investor presentations, or planning for future growth
In the event of unexpected circumstances, such as natural disasters, economic downturns, or management changes, well-maintained financial records are a lifeline. Having a bookkeeper ensures that the business's financial history is readily accessible and comprehensible, helping in the swift recovery and adaptation.
Should a business face an audit, whether by the IRS or other entities, a bookkeeper can be instrumental in facilitating the process. They maintain organized financial records and can provide the necessary documentation and support during an audit, reducing stress and the risk of adverse outcomes.
A bookkeeper is indispensable for a business's financial stability and growth. Their role extends beyond mere data entry; they offer financial expertise, ensure compliance, and provide insights that guide decision-making. By maintaining accurate financial records, assisting with tax compliance, and helping control costs, bookkeepers contribute to the overall success of a business. In today's complex business landscape, where financial management is a critical factor in survival and prosperity, having a bookkeeper is not just an option but a strategic necessity.
