On the latest episode of Beyond the Numbers by Weaver, host James Mihills, partner, Risk Advisory Services at Weaver engages in a comprehensive discussion. The conversation centers around Financial institutions, the tax issues they face, and how to maximize tax savings with Shane Stewart, partner-in-charge, State and Local Tax Services at Weaver, and Blake Fuqua, partner, State and Local Tax Services at Weaver. Key Points: Property taxes can be a major expense for banks, especially with the increasing use of technology and the obsolescence of certain real property assets.Financial institutions should consider new construction-related exemptions for sales tax when expanding their operations or building new locations. Conversely, they should also ensure that contractors are charging sales tax for remodeling services, as these are often considered taxable. Partnering with a state and local tax practice like Weaver's can help banks effectively manage compliance, reduce overpayment risk, handle complex filings, ensure timely payments, and provide peace of mind through compliance evaluations and other specialized services. What do financial institutions need to know about state and local taxes issues, and where are they potentially leaving money on the table? Many financial institutions don't think they need to register or review purchase invoices for sales tax, but improper payment of sales tax can have a detrimental impact on these organizations. Property taxes are another significant expense for entities, but there are several ways to cut the costs of this expense and maximize tax savings if done correctly. This conversation also touches on: Revelations that many financial institutions are overpaying sales tax on IT-related and professional services as technology investments growThe significance of property taxes, the value attached to brick-and-mortar bank locations, and the potential tax savings through correct valuationsThe administrative burden of ensuring tax compliance, the risks of overpayment and underpayment, and the idea of potentially outsourcing these complexities Fuqua explained, “A lot of banks are overpaying sales tax on a lot of IT-related services, data processing, and professional services. There are some recent court cases in the state of Texas and a few other states that really sets some good opportunities available for these financial institutions and banks to take advantage of. So, it's definitely something financial institutions and banks should consider as they increase their operational footprint and spend.” Stewart later added, “One rendition that you're reporting property on could be associated with five different property tax bills, right? And so, just managing the compliance around meeting those requirements each year is a huge task administratively, and it's quite a burden. So you think of the expense — the amount of time and resources it takes to handle this…” Subscribe and listen to future episodes of Weaver: Beyond the Numbers on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

This Day in Legal History: SEC EstablishedOn this day in legal history, June 6, 1934, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was established, marking a pivotal moment in the regulation of financial markets. The SEC was created in response to the stock market crash of 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression, aiming to restore investor confidence and safeguard their interests. Tasked with enforcing securities laws and regulating the securities industry, the SEC's mission was to ensure transparency, prevent fraud, and protect investors from unfair practices. President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Joseph P. Kennedy, a businessman and former stock market speculator, as the first Chairman of the SEC. Kennedy's experience and insider knowledge of Wall Street made him a controversial but effective choice for the role. Under his leadership, the SEC began implementing key reforms, including the requirement for companies to provide accurate and comprehensive financial statements, the regulation of stock exchanges, and the enforcement of laws against insider trading. These measures were crucial in stabilizing the financial markets and rebuilding public trust. The establishment of the SEC represented a significant shift towards greater federal oversight and accountability in the financial sector.The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) have agreed to divide responsibility over the artificial intelligence (AI) industry, allowing the FTC to investigate Microsoft's relationship with OpenAI. The DOJ will probe Nvidia for potential antitrust violations and oversee Alphabet Inc.'s Google. This arrangement follows over six months of negotiations between the agencies.The FTC has already initiated a probe into Microsoft's $650 million deal with Inflection AI, scrutinizing whether the company properly notified antitrust authorities. Both the DOJ and FTC declined to comment, and representatives from Microsoft, Inflection, OpenAI, Google, and Nvidia did not respond to requests for comments.The DOJ and FTC jointly enforce U.S. antitrust laws and decide internally which agency will handle specific investigations. This process, known as clearance, has previously led to disputes, especially in high-profile cases like those involving Google. The process of "clearance" between the DOJ and FTC, which involves determining which agency will investigate specific mergers and anticompetitive conduct, is crucial in managing jurisdictional overlaps and ensuring efficient enforcement of antitrust laws.In related developments, the European Union reviewed Microsoft's investment in OpenAI but opted not to pursue a formal investigation. Meanwhile, the UK's competition watchdog is examining the partnership but determined that Microsoft's deal with French AI company Mistral AI does not warrant an investigation.Microsoft, Nvidia to Face US Antitrust Probes Over Moves in AIUS regulators to open antitrust inquiries of Microsoft, OpenAI and Nvidia | ReutersDan Jacobs, chef-owner of two Milwaukee restaurants, adopted a service charge model during the pandemic to increase employee pay, which led to a $70,000 tax bill. This situation highlights a broader issue where the U.S. tax code favors traditional tipping systems with tax credits, disadvantaging restaurants that use service charges. Service fees, which can range from a few percent to over 20% of the bill, are intended to raise wages for back-of-house workers and reduce tipping disparities.Rep. Earl Blumenauer has introduced legislation to equalize the tax treatment of service charges and tips, arguing that the tax code should not penalize restaurants adapting to industry changes. The proposed bill would allow restaurants using service charges to claim a tax credit similar to the tip tax credit, provided the service charge goes directly to employees. Critics argue that service charges reduce workers' take-home pay and believe tips give employees more control over their earnings.The National Restaurant Association supports policies offering operational flexibility, and many Democrats in Congress advocate eliminating the subminimum tipped wage. Service charges spread earnings among all staff, including those already earning the minimum wage, potentially reducing income for traditionally tipped workers. Ending the tipped wage could address these disparities and make service charges a more viable option for restaurants.In short, the disparity in tax treatment between traditional tips and service charges under the U.S. tax code, which currently benefits restaurants that rely on tips through tax credits, is a significant issue. This inequity impacts how restaurants choose to compensate their staff and has prompted legislative efforts to create a more balanced system.Restaurant Service Fees Strike a New Nerve: How They're TaxedA Georgia appeals court has paused the criminal case against Donald Trump, who is accused of attempting to overturn the 2020 election results, while it considers his request to disqualify lead prosecutor Fani Willis. This decision halts progress toward a trial for Trump and 14 co-defendants until the appeal is resolved. Trump's appeal argues that Willis, the Fulton County District Attorney, has a conflict of interest due to an alleged romantic relationship with a former top deputy.The case is one of four legal battles Trump faces as he campaigns to reclaim the presidency. Recently, a New York jury found Trump guilty of concealing hush money payments to a porn star, a verdict he plans to appeal. Two federal cases, involving attempts to overturn the election and mishandling classified documents, are also entangled in legal delays.In the Georgia case, prosecutors intend to appeal a previous ruling that dismissed some charges in the indictment. The appeal process is expected to take several months, with oral arguments scheduled for October. Trump and his co-defendants have pleaded not guilty to racketeering and other charges related to the alleged scheme to reverse his narrow loss in Georgia.Trump election interference case paused in Georgia during challenge to prosecutor | ReutersAmazon is facing a £1 billion ($1.3 billion) lawsuit in the UK, filed by the British Independent Retailers Association (BIRA) on behalf of about 35,000 small retailers.

They explore this sector's unique challenges and opportunities, shedding light on the intricacies of tax regulations across different states and focusing on Texas' distinctive approach to taxing materials in construction projects.Key Points: • Texas allows contractors to act as retailers under separated contracts, enabling tax-free purchases of materials for resale to customers• The distinction between lump sum and separated contracts significantly affects how sales and use tax is collected and paid, emphasizing the importance of invoice formatting tax compliance• The tax obligation for materials used in construction is determined by the location of the project, not the location of the business or sourced materials This episode provides an overview of the sales and use tax landscape as it pertains to the construction industry, highlighting the critical differences in tax treatment between Texas and other states. It emphasizes the importance of understanding how contract types and the scope of work can significantly influence tax obligations, offering valuable insights for contractors and businesses operating within this sector. "Organizations need to be proactive rather than reactive,” Hayes said. “From the customer's perspective, if . . . you're going to be expanding an existing facility or you're going to be repurposing an existing facility, and maybe you have some new construction associated with that, really it would be incumbent to have that contract drawn up as a separated contract." This underscores the episode's core message: the critical need for strategic planning and understanding of tax regulations to avoid potential pitfalls.

Tax Relief with Timalyn Bowens

Episode 38:  In this episode, Timalyn is going to discuss a document that's often used in tax relief negotiations, IRS Form 433-F.  In her previous episode, she addressed the tax relief journey to try to make it easier to understand.  Today, she'll do the same with a form that plays a big role in your negotiations with the IRS. NOTE:  Timalyn points out that you need to make sure you're using IRS Form 433-F.  There's a similar document, IRS Form 433-F (OIC), that's used when you're making an offer in compromise.  However, the “OIC” version is not the form for today's discussion.  Timalyn is on a mission to fill the tax literacy gap, one taxpayer at a time.  While she uses these forms all the time, she realizes that most taxpayers don't fully understand what they are or why Timalyn is asking for certain information that goes on them.  She understands what information the IRS is going to request, so having the correct information can both speed up the process and help to move the negotiations forward. It's a Collection Information Statement The 433-F is more detailed than your IRS Form 1040.  The form provides supporting information for an installment agreement, which allows you to pay your tax debt in installments, rather than in a lump sum.  If you are going to apply for an installment agreement on your own, and it's not a streamlined agreement (meaning you can't pay it back within 72-months or before the Collection Statute Expiration Date – CSED), you'll need to provide the IRS with additional information to support your situation.    Timalyn explains that if you owe more that $50,000, you will be required to submit specific financial information, using IRS Form 433-F.   If you are applying on your own and it is streamlined, you can use IRS Form 9465 to request an installment agreement.  For more information, watch Timalyn's video.  The IRS will charge you a $225 set-up fee.  However, if you do it online or over the phone, the fee is only $31.  If you plan to apply for an installment agreement on your own, consider purchasing Timalyn's Guaranteed Installment Agreement e-book.  It will walk you through the process and to get your plan set up quicker. What is the purpose for the 433-F ? This form collects your current financial information used to determine how you can satisfy your debt.  This applies to an individual or a small business owner.  The IRS wants you to prove why you're going to need more than 72-months to pay the debt.  The form gathers that information.  You'll use this form to report your income over the last 3 months.  Remember, it may have changed since you filed your tax returns.  Timalyn takes a minute to explain why you should probably seek a consultation with a tax professional who has specific experience in tax relief.  That information will be extremely helpful, even if you decide not to ultimately hire him/her to represent you in this process. While the IRS wants the last 3 months, you actually might want to provide the last 6, 9, or 12 months, because certain factors, such as a period of unemployment, may change the picture in your favor.  Timalyn explains the IRS is really trying to analyze your cash flow.  Some jobs pay weekly, while other sources of income such as social security only pay monthly.  Over the past 12 years as an enrolled agent, Timalyn knows the IRS is also looking at what you owe other people or companies.  Having other required payments will limit your cash flow, but it's not that easy.  The IRS will consider your credit card balance and your available credit.  They may determine you could use some of the available credit to pay your tax debt.  Additionally, the IRS will review your assets.  For instance, do you have equity in your vehicles?  How much do you owe on the loans?  How much are the monthly payments?  What is the fair market value of the vehicle(s)?  Realize the IRS may require you to sell some assets to pay your tax debt.  Starting to get the picture? Are You a Business Owner? If so, the IRS wants to know about your accounts receivable balance.  The IRS can consider you're A/R because it could increase your normal cash flow.  You need to be open and honest in your negotiation with the IRS.  If they think you're playing games, they will be much more difficult in striking any type of arrangement with you.  In fact, they could simply decide to issue tax liens on specific tax years.    Do I Have to Provide All of This Information? Timalyn's answer is, “it depends.”  The IRS has the right to specific information when you're involved in a negotiation with them.  Remember, you owe them and are at their mercy.  If you're trying to establish an installment arrangement, you're asking them for a favor (even though we may not look at it that way).    On the other hand, there are National Standards and Local Standards.  If your expenses fall below these levels, you still get the benefit of the allowable standard.  It's like taking advantage of the standard deduction on your tax returns.  Be sure to listen to Episode 39 for more information in this scenario. This is complicated, so you may decide to get a consultation with a tax professional.  You can sign-up for a tax consultation with Timalyn.  There is a fee, but you'll have a full hour for her to review your specific situation and give you a diagnosis.  You can later decide to hire her or you can decide to hire another tax professional.  Either way, you'll have solid advice and will be better prepared to take the next step. Please consider sharing this episode with your friends and family.  There are many people dealing with tax issues, and you may not know about it.  This information might be helpful to someone who really needs it.  After all, back taxes shouldn't ruin their life either. As we conclude Episode 38, we encourage you to connect with Timalyn on social media. You'll be able to subscribe to this podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and many other podcast platforms.   Remember, Timalyn Bowens is America's Favorite EA and she's here to fill the tax literacy gap, one taxpayer at a time.  Thanks for listening to today's episode.

California is set to become the first US state to require all electronic devices, including laptops and phones, to be charged using USB-C cables under legislation approved by the state Assembly Privacy and Consumer Protection committee. The bill, sponsored by Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel, requires wholesalers and retailers to give consumers the option to buy an electronic product with or without a charging device, and for packaging on the product to indicate whether there is a charging device and other information. The move follows similar action taken by the European Union, which adopted a directive last year making USB-C charging mandatory for phones and all laptops. India has also approved similar standards to be in effect by 2025. Advocates of universal charger policies say reducing environmental and consumer costs is a primary motivation. However, supporters of free-market principles argue that the policy would stifle innovation, as companies would no longer feel the need to develop a better charging technology. Additionally, opponents of the policy warn that it could contribute to more customer confusion and create more waste in the long run by forcing existing charging cables into obsolescence.California Follows Europe's Lead on USB-C Mandate for DevicesApple's tax agreement with its hometown of Cupertino, California, is under scrutiny from state regulators, potentially leading to a reduction in the amount of money the company pays to the city. The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration is auditing the arrangement, with Cupertino's finance director set to explain the findings to the city council. The audit revealed local tax revenues will drop 73% in the current fiscal year, from $42.1 million to $11.4 million, and Cupertino may need to return money received in previous years. Apple is not named in the report, but it is the largest source of sales tax revenue for Cupertino. The issue is Apple's treatment of online sales, as the local portion of sales tax goes to the location where the transaction takes place, not the customer's location. Apple treats all online purchases of products in California as if they were made in Cupertino, setting aside the 1% local portion of the 7.25% state sales tax for its hometown. Cupertino can appeal the tax department's findings, but the city may have to cut staff and other spending to cover the shortfall.Apple's Local Tax Arrangement With Hometown Comes Under Fire (1)Ernst & Young's attempt to split its audit and advisory practices has been abandoned due to internal strife, damaged relationships between firm leaders, and distrust between partners in different countries. A major failure of the company's attempt was that economics took over, and strategic benefits lagged behind. The firm is now on a rugged path to carve out its $20bn consulting business. Developing distinct sets of clients for each of the two businesses and rethinking how revenue from those businesses is tracked and reported are among the steps the firm might consider as it attempts another transaction. Interest rates and retired partner debt, perceived future revenue streams and the overall market have challenged the balancing act of spreading out benefits and risks among audit and advisory partners, even retired partners. EY consultants won't be able to escape restrictions on the clients to whom they can sell. Finally, EY's Big Four competitors have said they have no plans to follow its restructuring path and have repeatedly said they are committed to their multi-service line offerings, adding market force effect to the disincentive to split. EY Battles Internal Strife In Wake of Abandoned Break Up (1)According to new data from the American Bar Association, the gaps in bar pass rates between white and minority law graduates widened in 2022 for the second consecutive year. The first-time pass rate for white test takers was 83% in 2022, while 57% of Black examinees passed on their first attempt, which is a difference of 26 percentage points. The performance of white first-time bar examinees also declined from an 85% pass rate in 2021 to 83% in 2022, but that decline was smaller than the dip among Black, Hispanic, and Asian examinees. Racial disparities have persisted on “ultimate bar pass rates,” which measure pass rates over two years. No announcements have been made regarding what steps will be taken to ameliorate this disparity, but we'll be following along closely.Racial disparities in bar exam scores worsened in 2022 | ReutersBankrupt crypto exchange FTX has announced that it has recovered over $7.3 billion in cash and liquid crypto assets, an increase of more than $800 million since January. The company's attorney said that FTX is starting to think about its future after months of effort devoted to collecting resources and figuring out what went wrong under the leadership of indicted ex-founder Sam Bankman-Fried. FTX has benefited from a recent rise in crypto prices, and its total recovery would be valued at $6.2 billion based on crypto prices from November 2022 when it filed for bankruptcy. FTX is negotiating with stakeholders about options for restarting its crypto exchange, and it may make a decision on that in the current quarter. FTX customers in Japan have been the only ones able to withdraw any funds during the bankruptcy case. FTX intends to file a preliminary Chapter 11 plan that would offer the company a path out of bankruptcy, but it acknowledged that many details would have to be worked out as creditors fight for their share of the company's assets. Bankman-Fried and several company insiders have been indicted on fraud charges for their role in the company's collapse.Bankrupt crypto exchange FTX has recovered $7.3 billion in assets | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe
