How Does Legislation Affect Tax Year 2023 Updates?
Review the latest legislation and regulatory changes ahead of any tax year. The way that you report taxes and manage the company’s payroll will likely change. Some of the main areas to look for any changes in may include:
Small Business Deductions – Check each year to see what your small business can deduct from its tax expenses. Deductions may range from office rent and relocation expenses to office supplies and business bank fees. You may also partly qualify for a tax deduction based on your startup business expenses. The Internal Revenue Service allows small businesses launched in 2023 to deduct 100% of their startup expenses, up to $5,000.
Expensing Equipment – Your business may be eligible for asset write offs with tax year 2023 updates. Review the specific assets that your business purchased for its operation. Some of these assets that depreciate may qualify you for “bonus expensing.” Depreciating business assets include certain real estate, computers and electronic equipment, machinery, office furniture and appliances, and business-use vehicles.
Standard Tax Deduction – The standard deduction may fluctuate or increase like in previous years to simplify how American businesses file their taxes. Business owners should identify a current tax year’s standard deduction and how it differs if they submit joint filings.
Family and Medical Leave Tax Credit – Confirm whether you as an employer are eligible for a tax credit when you offer paid family and medical leave to employees for specific years. Stay on top of your eligibility and aware of when these sorts of credits expire.
Core Software Features that Support Businesses Each Tax Year
Find the best tools to streamline how your business handles tax year 2023 updates. Tax and accounting software for small businesses should include:
Diagnostics – Use software to identify where you may have missed providing required details. Trustworthy software prevents you from filing your returns until you address and correct these mistakes. Entering an invalid Social Security number or an incorrect figure should result in the system flagging the error. Catch these mistakes early to save your business’s time and reduce the risk of incurring penalty fees.
Customer Support – Invest in tax software with a strong customer service arm. Reach out to a vendor about accessing assistance that goes beyond referencing a Frequently Asked Questions page. Some vendors provide regular on-call support for their users.
Electronic Filing – Most tax software provides users with e-filing capabilities. Check tax year 2023 updates to determine when you must e-file. You should also know when the IRS simply prefers e-filing for greater security and decreased processing time.
Security and Storage – Store your company’s data for as long as the IRS requires you to with a secure tax program. Many programs encrypt data and allow you to store relevant documents for several years. Storing a file digitally helps for when you need to access it during tax season 2023 or an audit.
Why Do Small Businesses Prefer AMS?
