As we kick off 2025, farmers across the country are facing a mix of big challenges and new opportunities. From changes in tax rules to the future of trade, there’s a lot up in the air right now. Through it all, it’s the strength of our farmers—and the policies shaping their work—that will make all the difference. Chuck Conner, president and CEO of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives, breaks down what’s happening and why it’s not just about farmers—it’s about everyone who relies on them every day. "By 2025, $4 trillion in tax deductions will expire unless Congress intervenes," Connor stated. These include provisions crucial to farmers, such as estate tax relief, Section 199A deductions, and accelerated depreciation. "If Congress doesn't act, farmers will face higher taxes at a very tough time," he added.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Away to the internet I flew like a flash, To open the bill that made such a splash. The text on freshly printed pages as white as snow Gave the luster of new tax changes offering so much to know, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But new provisions to add and amend the tax code as I sat down to read it with a beer, With the changes moving, so lively and quick, I still was not certain if these provisions would stick. More rapid than eagles the markups they came, And they passed different versions of the bill in the House and the Senate under the TCJA name; Now, Republicans! Now, Democrats! In a conference committee mixin'! On compromises! On changes! On things that needed fixin'! Back to the House and the Senate with time running small Now three last-minute changes that were then voted on by all, Including a name change that's made the bill somewhat hard to identify, But around the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act name most seem to still unify. So after enactment on December 22nd tax advisors they flew, To their copies of the bill with highlighters and even hole punch reinforcers, too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard tax advisors raise the roof The excitement of new code sections that arrived in a poof. Now after reading the TCJA, I knew that choice of entity was bound, To be a big deal with many significant changes now around. It was presented as simplification with reduced rates at its root, But is often complex when combined with the tax law that stayed put; A bundle of questions arose when tax advisors started to unpack The provisions of the newly enacted tax law with areas of uncertainty starting to stack. And the many significant international changes that can seem quite frankly scary! Actually, Chris Clifton of episode 10, would you explain while I refill my sherry? Now one thing that clearly began to show, Was each taxpayer's situation is unique and tax planning for the TCJA could not be put on auto; A decision like charitable giving now has much more to consider, Like will you itemize, what are you giving and even what and how much do you plan to bequeath; And the new 20 percent deduction has led to many calls on the telly, With the definition of trade or business under §162 that can seem as fluid as a bowlful of jelly. Whether you get the deduction and what industry are important questions to ask yourself, For example, Brian Todd of episode 15, for health care would say it depends on the organization itself? And though the TCJA-related guidance so far has given much to put in our head, More from Treasury and the IRS is still needed and expected to come ahead; And though enhanced capital expensing is quite a perk, A technical correction for qualified improvement property would address issues that still lurk, And keep in mind under the TCJA some saw overall tax increases as their effective tax rate rose, Netting the effect of new limits on deductions with the beneficial changes is something you must juxtapose; To many tax advisors the TCJA can seem like a thistle, So I'd like frequent podcast guest Tony Nitti to offer some advice to those starting to bristle. So with that I'd like you to celebrate the one year of the TCJA with spirits that are bright, Happy TCJA to all, and to all a good night!  GET MORE “SIMPLY TAX” We're excited to also provide video content to strengthen your tax mind!

The text on freshly printed pages as white as snow Gave the luster of new tax changes offering so much to know, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But new provisions to add and amend the tax code as I sat down to read it with a beer, With the changes moving, so lively and quick, I still was not certain if these provisions would stick. More rapid than eagles the markups they came, And they passed different versions of the bill in the House and the Senate under the TCJA name; Now, Republicans! Now, Democrats! In a conference committee mixin’! On compromises! On changes! On things that needed fixin’! Back to the House and the Senate with time running small Now three last-minute changes that were then voted on by all, Including a name change that’s made the bill somewhat hard to identify, But around the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act name most seem to still unify. So after enactment on December 22nd tax advisors they flew, To their copies of the bill with highlighters and even hole punch reinforcers, too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard tax advisors raise the roof The excitement of new code sections that arrived in a poof. Now after reading the TCJA, I knew that choice of entity was bound, To be a big deal with many significant changes now around. It was presented as simplification with reduced rates at its root, But is often complex when combined with the tax law that stayed put; A bundle of questions arose when tax advisors started to unpack The provisions of the newly enacted tax law with areas of uncertainty starting to stack. And the many significant international changes that can seem quite frankly scary! Actually, Chris Clifton of episode 10, would you explain while I refill my sherry? Now one thing that clearly began to show, Was each taxpayer’s situation is unique and tax planning for the TCJA could not be put on auto; A decision like charitable giving now has much more to consider, Like will you itemize, what are you giving and even what and how much do you plan to bequeath; And the new 20 percent deduction has led to many calls on the telly, With the definition of trade or business under §162 that can seem as fluid as a bowlful of jelly. Whether you get the deduction and what industry are important questions to ask yourself, For example, Brian Todd of episode 15, for health care would say it depends on the organization itself? And though the TCJA-related guidance so far has given much to put in our head, More from Treasury and the IRS is still needed and expected to come ahead; And though enhanced capital expensing is quite a perk, A technical correction for qualified improvement property would address issues that still lurk, And keep in mind under the TCJA some saw overall tax increases as their effective tax rate rose, Netting the effect of new limits on deductions with the beneficial changes is something you must juxtapose; To many tax advisors the TCJA can seem like a thistle, So I’d like frequent podcast guest Tony Nitti to offer some advice to those starting to bristle. So with that I’d like you to celebrate the one year of the TCJA with spirits that are bright, Happy TCJA to all, and to all a good night!  GET MORE “SIMPLY TAX” We’re excited to also provide video content to strengthen your tax mind!

The S Corp vs LLC discussion starts with general S Corp benefits, but does a deeper dive into reducing self-employment taxes and lowering audit rate risk.They also review the Does It Make Sense questions such as-Does your business earn over $30,000 net income after expenses? Say Yes.Are you located in New York City or Tennessee where S corporation tax rates are egregious and suck up all the federal tax savings? New Hampshire? Say No. Although there might be exceptions where an S Corp makes sense NYC, TN and NH in order to maximize Section 199A deduction benefits.Do you have other W-2 income that exceeds or comes close to exceeding the Social Security limits of $132,900 (2019)? Say No. If you say Yes, we need net business income to exceed $200,000 in #1 above so that the Medicare savings exceeds the “lost” Social Security tax paid by the S Corp.Is this a going concern? In other words, is the business going to continue to earn the same income or more each year? Say Yes.Do you have an LLC or some other entity in place that can be elected to be taxed as an S Corp? Say Yes. If you say No, we have options just not elegant ones such as shelf corporations.Do you have other partners besides a spouse… business partners, that is? Say No. If you say Yes, are you currently splitting income based on ownership percentages or some formula? If you say Formula, then we’ll need to explore a multi-entity arrangement.Does your entity own any appreciating assets such as real estate? Say No. We don’t put appreciating assets into an S corporation. Holding companies own real estate and operating companies elect S Corp status.

We’re back with another episode of The Dose. Today I have another returning guest, Josh Kegley with Retirement Plan Consultants. You may remember Josh from one of our earlier episodes where we talked pretty high level about the retirement plan space and the evolution that practice owners go through as it pertains to the various vehicles that they can utilize to build wealth inside of a retirement plan. Today, we get into the weeds on how to utilize a qualified retirement plan like a 401k to maximize the benefit to the practice owner. We start out discussing how changing the match to a safe harbor is the easiest way to allow practice owners to maximize their own contributions as well as the nuances of the safe harbor match.  We then dive into the details on the other side of the qualified plan, which is the profit sharing plan. We discuss the various different types of profit sharing plans, including: Integrated Cross-tested (new comparability) Age weighted More importantly, we discuss the characteristics of a practice that would be a good fit for each of the plans mentioned above as well as some of the different questions to consider when determining if, when, and how much of a profit sharing contribution to make. We also touch on the impact that profit sharing contributions have on qualifying for the new Section 199A deduction (commonly called the “QBI deduction”). And be sure to stick around to the end, where I share a specific example of a client situation where the client chose to make the profit sharing contribution, even though it “cost” him more than he would have paid in taxes and why he decided to make that decision. With that introduction, I hope you enjoy this episode of “The Dose” with Josh Kegley. Links: Retirement Plan Consultants Josh Kegley’s LinkedIn Profile

Away to the internet I flew like a flash, To open the bill that made such a splash. The text on freshly printed pages as white as snow Gave the luster of new tax changes offering so much to know, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But new provisions to add and amend the tax code as I sat down to read it with a beer, With the changes moving, so lively and quick, I still was not certain if these provisions would stick. More rapid than eagles the markups they came, And they passed different versions of the bill in the House and the Senate under the TCJA name; Now, Republicans! Now, Democrats! In a conference committee mixin’! On compromises! On changes! On things that needed fixin’! Back to the House and the Senate with time running small Now three last-minute changes that were then voted on by all, Including a name change that’s made the bill somewhat hard to identify, But around the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act name most seem to still unify. So after enactment on December 22nd tax advisors they flew, To their copies of the bill with highlighters and even hole punch reinforcers, too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard tax advisors raise the roof The excitement of new code sections that arrived in a poof. Now after reading the TCJA, I knew that choice of entity was bound, To be a big deal with many significant changes now around. It was presented as simplification with reduced rates at its root, But is often complex when combined with the tax law that stayed put; A bundle of questions arose when tax advisors started to unpack The provisions of the newly enacted tax law with areas of uncertainty starting to stack. And the many significant international changes that can seem quite frankly scary! Actually, Chris Clifton of episode 10, would you explain while I refill my sherry? Now one thing that clearly began to show, Was each taxpayer’s situation is unique and tax planning for the TCJA could not be put on auto; A decision like charitable giving now has much more to consider, Like will you itemize, what are you giving and even what and how much do you plan to bequeath; And the new 20 percent deduction has led to many calls on the telly, With the definition of trade or business under §162 that can seem as fluid as a bowlful of jelly. Whether you get the deduction and what industry are important questions to ask yourself, For example, Brian Todd of episode 15, for health care would say it depends on the organization itself? And though the TCJA-related guidance so far has given much to put in our head, More from Treasury and the IRS is still needed and expected to come ahead; And though enhanced capital expensing is quite a perk, A technical correction for qualified improvement property would address issues that still lurk, And keep in mind under the TCJA some saw overall tax increases as their effective tax rate rose, Netting the effect of new limits on deductions with the beneficial changes is something you must juxtapose; To many tax advisors the TCJA can seem like a thistle, So I’d like frequent podcast guest Tony Nitti to offer some advice to those starting to bristle.

SCACPA's Weekly Federal Tax Update

Lynn Nichols Federal Tax Update Podcast October 02, 2018, edition Listen as Lynn Nichols provides commentary on 6 Items pertaining to current developments in U.S. tax law. This week’s topics include: New Loss Limitation Hard to Calculate, Interpret With Other Rules The main focus of discussions on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has been the Section 199A passthrough deduction, but less talked about is a loss limitation that could have consequences for start-ups and real estate projects. [Tax Notes Today; 8/27/2018; Article by Eris Yauch]   Combat-Zone Contractors Qualify for Foreign Earned Income Exclusion Contract support for the military in designated combat zones may now qualify for the foreign earned income exclusion because of a change in the tax home requirement under the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018. [IR-2018-173; 8/24/2018]   Stock Transfer Under Divorce Decree Won’t Affect S Corp Tax Status An S corporation won’t be considered to have a second class of stock in violation of federal tax rules solely because shares of its stock will be transferred to a trust under a divorce decree. [LTR 201834007; 5/18/2018; rel. 8/24/2018]   Remaining Value Prevents Worthless Investment Deduction An individual's investments in a dozen special purpose entities holding real estate ventures were not worthless on December 31, 2008, and thus not deductible for 2008, because of evidence of value that would be lost in the event of foreclosure and because the entities successfully renegotiated their construction loans through 2011. [Forlizzo, Robert et ux.; T.C. Memo. 2018-137; 8/27/2018]   Guidance Clarifies Definition of Qualifying Relative, Exemption Amount IRS and Treasury will issue proposed regulations clarifying the definition of “qualifying relative” under section 152(d) for purposes of various tax code provisions, including the new $500 credit for other dependents and head of household filing status for tax years in which the section 151(d) exemption amount is zero. [Notice 2018-70; 2018-38 IRB 441; 8/28/2018]   Tax Court Says Individual’s Debt Cancellation Income Is Taxable An individual failed to provide evidence that his cancellation of debt income was not taxable because of insolvency or because the loan related to the debt was secured by his principal residence. The Tax Court upheld additions to tax and penalties for failure to timely file. [Smethers, Daniel; T.C. Memo 2018-140; 8/29/2018]

Millions of small business owners stand to realize big savings on their 2018 taxes, thanks to revisions of the federal tax code that were signed into law in late 2017. Only in the past few weeks, however, has the IRS fully explained who stands to profit from the so-called Section 199A deduction for qualified business income – and who will be left out. Rachel Sawyer, a partner in Denver-based TaxOps, a respected business tax specialty and advisory firm, joins host and reputation coach Dean Rotbart this week to delve into the nuances of the new tax code and what entrepreneurs can do to take maximum advantage of the savings it offers. If you qualify, Section 199A could mean tens of thousands of dollars of extra cash in your pocket come next year. Photo: Rachel Sawyer, TaxOpsPosted: September 3, 2018Monday Morning Run Time: 26:41

The IRS faces a long list of tasks if it plans to complete all of the items on its priority guidance plan to implement the new tax law. The Internal Revenue Service has highlighted several projects, including the pass-through deduction under tax code Section 199A and new international base erosion measures, to address by June 30, the end of the agency's business year. Pam Olson, the U.S. deputy tax leader and Washington National Tax Services practice leader at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, joined Talking Tax host Allyson Versprille on April 20 to discuss the status of regulations for the 2017 tax act (Pub. L. No. 115-97) and what taxpayers and practitioners should expect this summer. Before joining PwC, Olson was assistant secretary for tax policy at the Treasury Department. It may be difficult for the government to meet that end-of-June target if history is any indication, according to Olson. The IRS and Treasury have made good progress so far with guidance on the repatriation tax on foreign earnings and profits and the new limitation on the deductibility of business interest expense, she said.
