Amid evolving tax laws and incentives, understanding available options and compliance requirements is key. This guide highlights essential considerations for businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Retirement plans boost for small businesses&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/tax-law-and-news\/new-secure-act-expands-retirement-savings-opportunities\/\">SECURE 2.0 Act<\/a> enriches incentives for smaller employers to establish retirement plans. From 2023, businesses with 50 or fewer employees can claim 100% of startup costs, coupled with an additional credit for contributions during a plan&#8217;s first five years, fostering a culture of savings and financial security among the workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Employee Retention Credits still in play<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the employment period eligible for the <a href=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/tax-law-and-news\/employee-retention-credit-key-benefit-for-small-business-owners-under-the-cares-act\/\">Employee Retention Credit<\/a> has ended, businesses can still retroactively claim this credit for wages paid during the pandemic until statutory deadlines in 2024 and 2025. Given the complexity and evolving criteria for eligibility, consulting with a tax professional is advisable, especially in light of recent IRS actions to curb fraudulent claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Capitalize on depreciation opportunities&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The generous depreciation and expensing limits set by the <a href=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/tax-law-and-news\/how-to-take-advantage-of-the-tax-cuts-and-jobs-act\/\">Tax Cuts and Jobs Act<\/a> remain beneficial. With the investment limit at $2.89 million and a dollar limitation of $1.16 million for 2023, businesses are encouraged to invest in machinery and equipment and take advantage of <a href=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/tax-law-and-news\/depreciation-changes-for-2023\/\">Section 179 depreciation<\/a>, which allows for a full write-off of eligible assets. In addition, Section 168(k) Bonus Depreciation, which provides for accelerated depreciation, is also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Accelerating depreciation and making purchases<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using Section 179 and <a href=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/tax-law-and-news\/used-property-qualifies-for-bonus-depreciation\/\">Bonus Depreciation<\/a> allows businesses to write off purchases of equipment and vehicles swiftly. Planning purchases to align with these provisions can reduce taxable income substantially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Clean commercial vehicles credit&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Inflation Reduction Act introduces an up to $7,500 credit for purchasing <a href=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/tax-law-and-news\/clean-vehicle-credits-inflation-reduction-act\/\">clean commercial vehicles<\/a> post-2022, aligning business investments with environmental sustainability and potentially yielding significant tax savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Strategic timing of income and deductions<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Businesses, especially those using the cash accounting method, can influence their tax liability through the timing of income and deductions. Deferring income to future periods with expected lower tax rates or accelerating deductions into the current year can optimize tax outcomes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Capturing all business deductions&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ensuring all eligible deductions are claimed, including often-overlooked ones such as home office expenses, is crucial. Implementing an accountable plan can aid in maintaining proper records and maximizing deductions for employee reimbursements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Leveraging tax credits&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A myriad of tax credits, from small business health insurance premiums, <a href=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/tax-law-and-news\/renewed-work-opportunity-tax-credit-can-help-employers-hire-workers\/\">work opportunity tax credits<\/a>, and research and development credits, are available. Tax advisors should be proactively looking to add value to their clients to reduce their tax liabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Adapting to new tax legislation&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Inflation Reduction Act&#8217;s introduction of a 15% alternative minimum tax for large corporations and a 1% excise tax on certain stock repurchases necessitates careful planning. Understanding these new laws is vital for compliance and strategic financial planning. Businesses are urged to review their tax strategies so they can leverage available credits and deductions while preparing for upcoming legislative changes. Consulting with tax professionals can provide tailored advice, ensuring businesses not only comply with current regulations but also position themselves advantageously for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Call to action&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Year-end tax planning is more than a compliance exercise; it&#8217;s a strategic opportunity to strengthen your clients&#8217; business financial health. To ensure no opportunity is left on the table, it&#8217;s imperative to start implementing these strategies well before the end of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get a guide with essential considerations for businesses for year-end tax planning, and be sure to share this list with your clients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":104275893,"featured_media":57502,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rkv_reviewed_by_select":[],"rkv_browse_by_id":0,"rkv_cta_id":0,"rkv_optimize_for_pagespeed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"useModifiedDate":false,"customPublishDate":"","customModifiedDate":"","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"{title}\n\n{excerpt}\n\n{url}","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[509474089],"tags":[],"intuit_collection":[],"intuit_series":[],"coauthors":[509474241],"class_list":["post-57498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tax-law-and-news"],"header_image":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Year-End Tax Planning for Businesses<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SECURE 2.0 retirement incentives, Employee Retention Credits, and other 2023 tax law changes create year-end planning opportunities.
