TAX DAY IS APRIL 17 2018.

The deadline for filing your taxes is fast approaching — this year, The deadline is April 17, 2018. We all know, that Life can be busy!!! Maybe your taxes are particularly complicated this year, or maybe you just don’t have the time to sit down and sift through the paperwork. So, what happens if you don’t file your tax return on time? If you’re getting a refund on your taxes this year, you don’t need to panic — you have until April 17, 2021 to claim your refund (or until October 17, 2021 if you filed an extension by the April 17 deadline). It’s best to file as soon as possible, however, because if you don’t file within that 3-year period, you’ll lose the refund. If you owe taxes, things get complicated. First, you’ll be charged a failure-to-file penalty. That penalty is 5 percent of your unpaid tax bill for every month after the April deadline that you fail to pay. The amount can grow to a maximum of 25 percent of your total unpaid bill. In addition, you will be charged interest on whatever amount you did not pay. The interest rate is the federal short-term rate plus 3 percent with interest compounded daily. That can add up very quickly. How to File for an Extension on your Taxes. If you think you might be unable to file your tax return by the April 17 deadline, the best way to avoid fees and penalties is to file for an automatic six-month extension with the IRS using Form 4868. It’s free and pretty easy. But if you owe taxes, you’ll still need to pay them by the April 17 deadline or penalties, fees and interest will start to accrue. Form 4868 does not grant the taxpayer an extension of time to pay their tax. If you owe the IRS money and are having trouble coming up with the money, you have a few options. You can file for an extension of time to pay your tax bill using Form 1127: Application for Extension of Time for Payment of Tax Due to Undue Hardship, but be aware that the laws are very strict about granting such extensions. * The IRS must receive Form 1127 on or before the date that the tax is due. * The taxpayer must include a complete statement of all their assets and liabilities at the end of the previous month, as well as an itemized list of money they received and spent the previous three months prior to submitting the extension request. * The taxpayer must show that the payment of tax would result in “undue hardship.” That means more than inconvenience. *The taxpayer must show that paying by the due date would result in a serious loss of money and that they don’t have the funds, nor can they raise them through borrowing. When granted, these extensions usually last 6 months. For more information about extensions to pay tax, visit the IRS website at www.irs.gov. (You can read more about payment plans and other options for what to do if you can’t pay your tax bill here.) Ultimately, it is the best and safest idea to file your return by the April 17 deadline or file for an extension. That may be a hassle now, but it could save you a significant amount of financial harm in the future. If you need assistance, please call us as soon as possible. |
Turning your Passion into Business.

 We grow up in life,
structured to believe that, after we go through the school system, we graduate
to work for Organizations. We often fail to realize that, we can use our
knowledge and experience to start up our own Businesses, especially when most
companies rarely allow their employees to become Business Owners. As
individuals, we need to harness our passion and recreate the relentless
entrepreneurial spirit in us, to launch us to where we are meant to be. Everyone is born with
a gift; each of us has a passion and something that we are all excited about.
The idea is to turn this passion into an entrepreneurial opportunity, where you
can turn your passion into a money making machine. Everyone has an innate
entrepreneurial ability; it's how we harness this ability that determines how
we make progress in life. The basic reason, why
most of us fail to harness our entrepreneurial ability is because we feel safe
in our jobs. We have become comfortable with our safe salary increases that
will never get us where we need to be. Do you know that you can use your
free time, imagination and your creative skills to deliver value that nobody
has ever delivered in the history of Mankind? You need to step out
of the prison imposed on you from the Organization; you work for and create an abundant
life for yourself. Abundance only comes when you are moving along your
passion. Below are some of the
Skills needed to develop the entrepreneurial ability in you: 1) The Ability to have
ideas. 2) The Ability to execute
on the ideas. 3) The Ability to sell
the Ideas. 4) The Persistence to
keep learning as you fail. 5) The Ability to move
onto the next Adventure. I always advise recent college graduates entering the exciting
world of professional services to consider themselves entrepreneurs on day 1.
You have to identify your passion and the specific area that you want to
develop yourself in life; find other People within this field and learn from
their expertise. Networking is also very crucial as well as connecting with
others. Although they may not realize it now, the professional service industry
is one of the few that allow employees to eventually become business owners.
Even if they have no intention of becoming a partner or starting their own
firm, it is important for young professionals to distinguish themselves by
creating a personal brand and an entrepreneurial spirit within their
profession. Below are some steps
to Turning your Passion into Entrepreneurial Opportunities: Find
Your Niche Like most
entrepreneurs, you need to find your niche - a specific area that you are
passionate about. This could be anything from Handmade Jewelry, Accounting,
wealth management services, or even insurance sales. Finding the right niche is
the first step to building any entrepreneurial endeavor. After realizing what
area of your profession interests you, it is important to find others within it
and learn from their expertise. Networking is crucial and connecting with
others is a sure fire way to broaden your horizons. At the initial year of my Accounting
and Bookkeeping Business, I had a mentor that coached me, taught me the
nits and grits of the Business and molded my path in this Business line, and I
give credit to him for this direction. I must say, that all that I learnt
from him, is what has helped to mold me into what I have become today. Develop Your Skills and Knowledge For you to turn your
passion into an entrepreneurial opportunity, you need to immerse yourself
within everything that pertains to it, attend seminars, talk to future
competitors and analyze barriers to entry. If you want to develop your skills
you will need to train others, as this will eventually help to develop and
strengthen your knowledge and perfect your skills. Build Your Brand Personal branding is a
must for turning your passion to entrepreneurial opportunities, especially in
an age when professional service is becoming a much needed commodity. In
order to leverage in your industry, you need to set yourself apart by
leveraging your personal brand. The first step to
building a personal brand is considering yourself and your "turned
passion" as a product. You need to ask yourself many questions before
building your personal brand: What is your value proposition? Why should
people buy your product? What can you bring to the Table? Who are you
trying to target? Don’t Wait For Opportunity: Create It Once you determine
your personal brand, you have to go out and create your opportunity. The
biggest stumbling block to launching your own Enterprise is waiting for
opportunities instead of creating them. Allowing others to dictate your success
in any specific profession is a sure fire way to guarantee disappointment. If
you keep sitting and waiting for someone to hand you a promotion or give you
that well deserved pay raise at your job; it is akin to doing the same thing
over and over again and expecting different results – its insanity. Summary In conclusion, to make
it ahead in a competitive world of services, we need to distinguish ourselves
among our cohorts. Be an entrepreneur at work, Take Control of who you report
to, what you do and what you create. Deliver some value - any value - to
somebody, anybody and watch your value compound into a career - Your Desires
Entrepreneurial Opportunity. Following the simple steps above can make all
the difference and create a huge impact your life. So, what are you
waiting for? Go ahead and Turn your Passion into a Business and watch your
Business Grow. |

We have only Few Days left to the end of Tax Season; Many of Our Clients ask if a Tax Credit is better than a Deduction. Just to enlighten us, A Tax Credit is a Dollar -For-Dollar Reduction of the Taxes you owe; For instance, A $100 Credit means you pay $100 less in Taxes. A Deduction reduces the Taxes, you owe by a Percent of every Dollar, you're allowed to deduct. You Calculate the worth of your Deduction by multiplying your marginal (Or Top) Tax Rate by the amount of the deduction. If you're in the 25% Tax Bracket, a $100 Deduction means you will pay $25 less in Taxes (0.25 times $100). Need More Clarification on Getting the Best of your Tax Deduction and Credits? Contact Us Today and We will be Glad to help you out. |
NEW W-2 DEADLINE IN 2017; Business Owners & Employers Take Note.
| Posted on December 5, 2016 at 12:10 AM |

If you're
a Business Owner, Be sure to Draw a Big Red Circle around the date January
31, 2017, on your Calendar; This is the new Due Date for filing Forms W-2 with
the Tax Authorities. In an effort to combat Fraud, The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act of 2015 was passed by Congress and signed last December. With this New Act, Employers and Small Businesses have January 31st Filing Deadline to submit Forms W-2 and W-3 to the Social Security Administration (Whether you file using Paper Forms or electronically). This New Date also applies to certain Forms 1099-MISC reporting Non-Employee Compensation such as Payments to Independent Contractors. Note: The January 31st Deadline for Employers to furnish Copies of Tax Forms to Employees remains Unchanged. The New Law changes the Rules for extending time to file Forms W-2. Moving Forward, Only One 30 -Day Extension to file a W-2 is available and this extension is NOT AUTOMATIC. If you, as an Employer need an extension, you must file Form 8809, Application for Extension of Time to File Information Returns (Downloads as a PDF). This Form should be completed as soon as you know that an Extension is necessary, BUT NO Later than January 31. Due to the PATH Act Change, the New Law requires the IRS to delay Refunds for any return claiming either the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) until February 15. By Law, the IRS must hold the entire Refund, Not just the Portion related to the EITC or ACTC. The New Deadline, which has long been on the wish list for the IRS will make it easier to verify the legitimacy of Tax Returns and properly issue Refunds to Tax Payers. Many States have adopted this Federal Change for the New Deadline of January 31. The Only States NOT affected are Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oklahoma and West Virginia. WHAT ABOUT 1099-MISC? The New January 31st Deadline also applies to Forms 1099-MISC Reporting Non- Employee Compensation such as Payments to Independent Contractors. If you are filing Form 1099-MISC and Reporting Amounts in Box 7: Nonemployee Compensation, then you will need to meet the New Filing Deadline of January 31st. Note: You must also furnish Copy B and Any Other Applicable Copies of Information Returns to your Contractors by January 31st. IMPACT ON EMPLOYERS: It is important that Employers become adequately prepared to complete the Year End Tasks. This Means: * Verifying Accuracy of Employee Information. * Reporting/Submitting Any Year- End Adjustments as soon as possible. * Reviewing Year- End Totals for any Discrepancies. PENALTIES There are Penalties for Failure to File these Returns or Furnish Correct Statements and these Penalties are not Palatable. The Penalties range from: $50/Return - If Not More than 30 Days from New Date. $100/Return - If After 31 Days Late - 6 Months. $260/Return - If After 6 Months - Not Filing At All. However, If you need to make Corrections after sending your File to the Social Security Administration, you can do so by filing Form W-2C, Corrected Wage and Tax Statement. Finally, The IRS urges Tax Payers to still plan to file their returns as they normally would do, but prepare to exercise some patience. With these changes, you're bound to see some delays. The Refund Delay is an added way to help the IRS combat Tax Fraud by beefing up it's effort to authenticate Tax Payer Filings. To keep disruptions to a minimum, the IRS wants us to get the word out about these Changes NOW. As Tax Season approaches, the IRS wants to be sure Employers, especially Smaller Businesses, are aware of these New Deadlines. At Rosyan Bookkeeping Services, We are committed to helping you with your W-2s, W-3s and 1099 Filings, as well as furnishing you with helpful information regarding your Tax Filings. Call Us on 202.422.4586 and We would Gladly Assist You. |
