- Preventing Tax Problems When Employees Travel
- Sending employees on business trips is essential for countless companies and can result in tax headaches for both the employer and the employee if the tax regulations are not adhered to. If the rules are followed, the cost of the employee's travel will be fully deductible to the employer, with the exception of meals, which are only 50% deductible, and tax-free reimbursement to the employee. In addition, the reimbursement is not subject to FICA or payroll withholding.
- Receiving Tips Can Be Taxing
- If you work in an occupation where tips are part of your total compensation, you need to be aware of several facts relating to your federal income taxes:
- Plan for the Potential IRA-to-Charity Provision Extension
- If you are 70.5 or over, have not taken all or any of your 2015 required minimum distribution (RMD) from your IRA, and plan to but have not yet made a significant charitable contribution, here is a tip that could save some tax dollars.
- Tips To Reduce Payroll Stress
-
When you hire your first employee, you create an entire new task of complying with employment and labor laws and issuing a payroll. Payroll taxes create more administrative burden for small businesses than any other tax, according to the 2015 Small Business Taxation Survey from the National Business Association.
- Beware of Draconian Penalties for Health Reimbursement Plans
- Beginning in 2015, large employers (those with 100 or more full-time equivalent employees) must begin offering health insurance coverage to their employees. Then, in 2016, employers with 50 or more equivalent full-time employees must do the same or face penalties, called the “large employer health coverage excise tax.”
