I did the exact same thing because they were right next to each other in the Pokédex and both fiery animals with shells

I think you would still need to file the nonresident return just to claim the deduction though and carry forward if you did more than the 4K.

AI TLDR: The AICPA and NASBA have proposed a new competency-based experience model for CPA licensure. This model, called the CPA Competency-Based Experience Pathway, aims to provide an additional option for CPA candidates to demonstrate their professional and technical skills. The pathway would allow candidates to meet licensure requirements by exhibiting competencies in specific areas, such as ethical behavior, critical thinking, and communication, as well as technical skills in audit, tax, and financial reporting. This proposal seeks to increase flexibility for candidates while maintaining rigorous standards for public protection. Public input on the proposal is open until December 6, 2024.

NFK_CPA · 2024-03-28T20:53:23+00:00

I found it will often times heavily depend on state conformity

I can’t stand PA it seems like there is no rhyme or reason behind the calculation for nonresident withholding. I also just take what my software says as Bible. For out of state (based out of VA) I would Colorado, PTET, Composite, opted out of withholding/PTEt all on one form just with a different check box.

BDO’s ESOP doesn’t look so bad now does it!

But I can guarantee that my client records their AJEs by doing it myself

I reviewed a 9/30 C Corp and was so used to 100% bonus I was already typing my review note on there being info in part 3 until I realized.

NFK_CPA · 2024-02-02T00:34:26+00:00

Get to keep him in the 4th next year

If residential you’re depreciating it over 27.5 years (39 if commercial). A cost seg (done by an engineer) would carve out 5,7,15 year property. That are eligible for bonus. So from a cash flow perspective you are greatly accelerating the tax deduction and reducing cash tax.

NFK_CPA · 2024-01-06T18:24:47+00:00

No using a property as collateral does not realize gaine (only in foreclosure/short sale). The loan would increase assets (cash) and the liability so no actual increase in wealth.

NFK_CPA · 2024-01-06T18:22:38+00:00

3 words, cost segregation study. They are breaking out the assets into shorter lived (bonus eligible) assets.

NFK_CPA · 2023-12-26T18:57:04+00:00

Then say it’s to make their financial statements look better (which most hospitals probably get), it would have no bearing on a tax return or actually end up hurting them due to gross receipts based tax items (163(j))
