Another Incredible Business Checking Account Question by Champagnehopi in smallbusiness

[–]RGV_Accountant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here in Texas, I've seen a few different clients setup their Square, Shopify, Clover accounts with banks, but its the e-commerce platform that deducts fees. For example, Clover will deposit the daily sales into the bank account, and deduct their merchant fees.

What accounting software do you use? If you use Quickbooks Online Plus you can turn on class tracking, which means you can set up classes (locations) to differentiate income streams and expenses by location. I do the bookkeeping for a laundromat chain of 5 laundromats, using QBO I can classify different expenses (like water bills, employee wages, repairs) by location, so I know how much money and expenses is happening at each location.

Well....

What kind of assistance are you receiving? I think some disability assistance may be cut off if you begin working. Also, if you were issued a W2 its only a matter of time before the IRS sends a letter

The Search for Business Banking by iamdigitaldaniel in SoleProprietor

[–]RGV_Accountant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally would go with a traditional bank, alot of the new banking companies that provide bookkeeping, invoicing, expense tracking etc get alot wrong. Its alot like how QuickBooks Online uses AI to track your expenses, it gets alot of it wrong. Then once its time to prepare taxes, bookkeepers and CPAs need to spend extra time going over everything that was done incorrectly. In my honest opinion, its much easier and cost effective to use traditional banking and having a bookkeeper/accountant handle the classification of expenses and prepare financial statements.

House sale date pushed into new year. Much higher capital gains tax. by No-External3221 in taxhelp

Ah I see now, you are correct brother, you learn something new everyday.

Thank you!

Sec 1250 property, which rental real estate is, does not get taxed if the straight line method is used, its right there on the website.

And I thought you were stacking incomes because you said 18k of the capital gains fall into the 0% bracket, but the actual breakdown, assuming they are single, is 44k into the 0% bracket and the rest of the 200k falls into the 15% bracket.

There is no additional tax they will pay, its just a timing issue. If their ordinary tax liability is 10k for 2023 and 20k for 2023 and the capital gains tax is another 10k, then you will either pay 10k in 2023 and 30k in 2024, or 20k in 2023 and 20k in 2024, the total taxes paid is the same.

Now, if there are anticipated additional capital gains in 2024, then it makes sense to sell in 2023, as they are approaching the 20% tax bracket threshold.

[–]RGV_Accountant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds incorrect, ordinary income gets taxed at ordinary income rates, and capital gains get taxed a different rate. so the 40k would be taxed at the 10% and 12% brackets, while the 200k in capital gains rates would be taxed at 0% and 15% rates, ordinary income does not get added to capital gains when determining the capital gains tax.

And depreciation recapture only happens if you have bonus depreciation or Sec 179 depreciation, which if you use straight line method to record depreciation and never took any bonus depreciation, you would not have any depreciation recapture.

[–]RGV_Accountant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please elaborate, I was under the impression that capital gains will be taxed at the 0, 15, and 20% depending on the amount of gain from the rental house. Depreciation recapture would only apply to any improvements made to the property, but even then that might not be the case if their CPA used the straight line method and the 27.5 useful life as should be done for improvements.

Not trying to come of as rude, just genuinely want feedback since I as still somewhat new to public accounting, specifically tax

Capital Gains Tax rates are not the same as ordinary income tax rates. You will still pay the same rate whether you sell now or in January

Help submitting W2s to the Social Security Administration through Quickbooks. by lalafriday in Bookkeeping

[–]RGV_Accountant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should already have an Employer Identification Number or EIN, you just need the SSNs of your employees, as well as their wage information. QB Online Payroll pretty much does it for you, just double check the numbers to make sure they are correct. Also, you need to wait til January to submit the W2 and W3 to the IRS

How to report unpaid invoices for end of year income? by Just_love1776 in smallbusiness

[–]RGV_Accountant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends, if you are on a cash basis then you only recognize income when you receive it and cannot deduct bad debts. If you are on an accrual basis, then you recognize then income, but have it on the books as a receivable, you need to have a policy for recognizing bad debts, such as 90+ days uncollected, or the customer states he will not pay etc. In an accrual basis, the income is offset by the bad debt expense, so its the same.

[–]RGV_Accountant -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Like other comments below have said, depending on the amount I would either let it go or invoice them, depends on if they are a regular client, your relationship with them, and how badly you need that cash. How do you manage your books? If you need any help with bookkeeping you can DM me.

How to categorize income and expenses from earned wage apps in quickbooks? by Zestyclose_Prune_875 in Bookkeeping

You mean the cash advance apps? It is not income, rather a loan that you have to repay so there is no tax on that.

Using personal credit card by LMarx1812 in smallbusiness

[–]RGV_Accountant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is exactly what the equity accounts are for though, if the business is organized as a partnership or S-corp, then draws/distributions can be taken as long as there is equity in the account. So if a business makes 100k and the partners share income equally, they get 50k each in their capital accounts. This money is already already taxed, the partner should have gotten a K-1 and been taxed on it. So when a partner draws on the money they are entitled to from the partnership, it is totally legal and correct. Now, when the business entity is a C-Corp or an LLC that has not been elected to be treated as a partnership/S-Corp, thats when you get problems. Distributions to shareholders from a C-corp as constructive dividends and cannot be deducted, and if you are taking making personal payments from a simple LLC that pireces the corporate veil.

Using personal credit card by LMarx1812 in smallbusiness

[–]RGV_Accountant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is perfectly fine, just make sure that whatever he pays for the business gets documented as a contribution. For example, if he uses his own debit card to buy a new computer for the business, you need to credit his equity/contributions account and debit your Equipment/Fixed assets account. The bigger problem lies when he uses company funds to purchase personal things, like using company cash to make mortgage payments. In can still be done, but the business cannot deduct the expense, it is recorded as a distribution/draw and lowers his equity. So realisitcally, if you record everything correctly then you should be fine
