Income taxes are a dirty word to most Americans, but what if you were making the tax code a benefit you instead of a seeing it as a feared monster? Most people working for someone else don't know there are legitimate ways using tax deductions to keep more of their hard earned money in their pocket instead of sending it up to Uncle Sam! This is all perfectly legitimate?
In the great USA, we pay a horrid thing called income tax. I know Sen. Joe Biden say's it patriotic and all, but I can think of many other patriotic things I'd rather be doing. Did you ever pay attention to why there are two figures on your payroll stub, the amount you made then the amount you actually take home? Even after allowed standard tax exemptions it is still much less money you're taking home than you earned.
When you have a job you go to work and put in x amount of hours to receive a paycheck that taxes are held out of, then you buy things with what is left after having the tax withheld. Here's the big difference in the USA's TWO distinct tax systems. A business operates a little differently, they benefit from spending before tax is sent to Uncle Sam. Ultimately, paying a smaller tax.
When you run a business you go to work, earn your money, buy the supplies and items which you need and then pay taxes on what is left. Makes perfect economic sense, don't you think? The business tax system does just that. It operates drastically different than what the average US resident knows about the 'standard' tax system.
There are also tax deductions that you can get with your company that even allows you to pay your kids and spouse to work for you! Yes, just like any other person you could hire as an employee, but with much greater benefit to you.
Now we are not talking about lying or creating fraud on a tax return, as some would rather refer to it. Fraudulent tax activity can land you in a heap of trouble, so avoid it. But, even if you have a young child, they can still collect garbage from your office right? When they do, you may just be able to issue them a paycheck instead!
Won't you be pleasantly surprised when little Billy or Brenda figure out there's 'money in those hills'. They will be eagerly helping you find more jobs to do in your business. This is all legitimate work you would hire staff for that can be turned over to your children and the income you paid them will qualify as a tax deduction for you.
A big thing that makes this tax deduction so nice is you get to 'purchase' things with pre-tax money that you never thought you could, like your sons birthday gift for their friend. Now they pay for it from their earned income and you do not have to. Or your son could begin paying for their own movie tickets and gymnastics fees. That could just be music to your ears, dad!
If all that were not splendid enough, you do not have to pay payroll taxes on your minor kids wages or social security tax! The benefits just keep rolling in, no wonder there are so many businesses labeled '...and son'. I suppose a few reasons are for the tax deduction as well as the family tradition of growing a successful company together.
Your new employee son or daughter will also be advantaged in most taxable instances where you pay them less than $5,300 (this amount changes annually). Because, under this amount of annual wages your childs income is exempted and they owe no federal income tax either.
Having a company is a terrific way to take advantage of these terrific everyday tax deductions and they've been here for years, even though unknown to most W-2 workers. Unbelievably a company is not that difficult to start, do you tutor, sell online or write from home for extra money? If so you have a company. Do you consult, market a product or service with a mlm company? If you have a company then you deserve every one of these deductions & thousands more that are available to you.
As simple and lucrative as it is, I am amazed that more US residents have not started a companies. Not only for the extra income it can generate for your family, but the huge tax deductions you can get just by having one. Did you know you can in most cases use those deductions to lower the taxes you pay from your full-time job that you have right now? Even though that income is not part of your business income? However, you will want expert advice on how to take a business tax deduction. There are tax pros readily available that can tell you all about it. - 15431
