Traveling for Business in 2024? What’s Deductible?

If you and your employees will be traveling for business this year, there are many factors to keep in mind. Under the tax law, certain requirements for out-of-town business travel within the United States must be met before you can claim a deduction. The rules apply if the business conducted reasonably requires an overnight stay.

Note: Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, employees can’t deduct their unreimbursed travel expenses through 2025 on their own tax returns. That’s because unreimbursed employee business expenses are “miscellaneous itemized deductions” that aren’t deductible through 2025. Self-employed individuals can continue to deduct business expenses, including away-from-home travel expenses.

Rules That Come Into Play

The actual costs of travel (for example, plane fare and cabs to the airport) are generally deductible for out-of-town business trips. You’re also allowed to deduct the cost of lodging. And a percentage of your meals is deductible even if the meals aren’t connected to a business conversation or other business function. For 2024, the law allows a 50% deduction for business meals.No deduction is allowed for meal or lodging expenses that are “lavish or extravagant,” a term that generally means “unreasonable.” Also, personal entertainment costs on trips aren’t deductible, but business-related costs such as those for dry cleaning, phone calls and computer rentals can be written off.

Mixing Business With Pleasure

Some allocations may be required if the trip is a combined business/pleasure trip; for example, if you fly to a location for four days of business meetings and stay on for an additional three days of vacation. Only the costs of meals, lodging and so on incurred during the business days are deductible, not those incurred for the personal vacation days.

On the other hand, with respect to the cost of the travel itself (for example, plane fare), if the trip is primarily for business purposes, the travel cost can be deducted in its entirety and no allocation is required. Conversely, if the trip is primarily personal, none of the travel costs are deductible. An important factor in determining if the trip is primarily business or personal is the amount of time spent on each (though this isn’t the sole factor).

Suppose a trip isn’t for the actual conduct of business but is for the purpose of attending a convention or seminar. The IRS may check the nature of the meetings carefully to make sure they aren’t vacations in disguise, so retain all material helpful in establishing the business or professional nature of this travel.

Also, personal expenses you incur at home related to the trip aren’t deductible. This might include costs such as boarding a pet while you’re away.

Is Your Spouse Joining You?

The rules for deducting the costs of a spouse who accompanies you on a business trip are very restrictive. No deduction is allowed unless the spouse is an employee of yours or of your company. If that isn’t the case, then even if there’s a bona fide business purpose for having your spouse make the trip, you probably won’t be able to fully deduct his or her travel costs (though you can deduct some costs).

Specifically, the restrictions apply only to additional costs incurred by having your non-employee spouse travel with you. For example, the expense of a hotel room or for traveling by car would likely be fully deductible since the cost to rent the room or to travel alone or with another person would be the same, even in a rented car.

Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting

Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting - hands typing on a keyboard.

In 2021, The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) established a beneficial ownership information requirement (BOI). Most U.S entities will now be required to report information relating to individuals who directly or indirectly own a company.

This post is to bring to your attention a new requirement that begins in 2024 and which may affect you and your business. We’ll discuss which entities are require to file, the filing requirements and due dates, and penalties if filing is not completed. This filing is NOT a part of your annual tax return and so it is important that you take steps to comply with these new rules. The following is important information to assist you with compliance.

WHEN DO YOU NEED TO FILE?

Filing due dates for the beneficial ownership report depend on when the company was founded:

  • For entities founded before 1/1/24, the filing is due by 1/1/25.
  • For entities founded between 1/1/24 and 12/31/24, the filing is due 90 days after the company filed formation documents.
  • For entities founded after 1/1/25, the filing is due 30 days after the company filed formation documents.

The company applicant report has the same filing due dates as the beneficial ownership report, except for entities founded before 1/1/24. For entities founded before 1/1/24 there is no filing requirement for the company applicant.

If there are any updates to owners or individuals who exercise substantial control the company needs to file updated reports within 30 days of the change.

WHICH ENTITIES MUST FILE?

Both Domestic and Foreign entities have filing obligations. Domestic reporting companies include corporations, LLCs, and any other entity created by filing a document with the Secretary of State or any similar office. Foreign reporting companies are entities formed under law of a foreign country but have registered to do business in the US. There are certain entities that are exempt from filing requirements:

  • Tax Exempt entities
  • Inactive entities
  • Other types of exempt entities:
    • Securities reporting issuer, governmental authority, bank, credit union, depository institution holding company, money services business, broker or dealer in securities, securities exchange or clearing agency, other Exchange Act registered entity, investment company or investment adviser, venture capital fund adviser, insurance company, state-licensed insurance producer, Commodity Exchange Act,  accounting firm, public utility, financial market utility, pooled investment vehicle, large operating company

What are the filing requirements?

There are two filing obligations: company applicant and beneficial ownership. Both filing obligations are submitted online to FinCEN. 

A company applicant report identifies the individual who filed the formation documents to create or register the entity. The company can have multiple applicants if there is more than one person involved in the creation or registration of the company. The company applicant can also be someone who is not an owner of the company, like a lawyer or a CPA, if they are the individual who registered the company.

A beneficial ownership report is filed for any individual who exercises substantial control over a company or owns at least 25% of the reporting company’s ownership interest. Substantial ownership includes anyone who is a senior officer, an individual who has authority to appoint or remove officers and any individual who is an important decision maker.

If you are unsure of the beneficial ownership of an entity you are associated with, we advise you to discuss this with council to assure that you are properly meeting the filing requirements.

What information is needed for the report?

Company information needed: 

  • Legal Name
  • Any trade names or DBA’s
  • Current street address of it’s principal place of business in the U.S.
  • Jurisdiction of formation or registration
  • Taxpayer identification number

Individual owner or Individual Company application information needed: 

  • Individual name
  • Date of Birth
  • Address
  • Identifying number from an acceptable identification document (Drivers license or passport) and the jurisdiction in which the identifying document was issued

What if I choose not to file?

The penalties are $500 per day with a maximum of $10,000 in penalties. Failure to file could also result in up to two years in prison.

The new reporting requirement will start in 2024.  Please feel free to contact Wheeler Accountants, LLP if you need assistance with navigating how to determine if you are required to complete this filing or have other questions.

Increase to California SDI Starting in 2024 – Opt Out May Be Available

Businesswoman holding mobile phone at office.

By Michael Sands

Senate Bill 951 became effective on January 1, 2024 and provides for increased short-term disability and Paid Family Leave benefits for covered employees. To pay for these benefits, the bill removes the wage cap for California’s State Disability Insurance tax, making all wages subject to SDI tax beginning in 2024.

For 2023, the SDI rate was 0.9% with a maximum wage base of $153,164.  For 2024, the SDI rate is increased to 1.1% with no maximum wage base. To give you an idea of the potential increase, an employee making a $1,000,000 salary would pay additional SDI tax of $9,622 compared to 2023. An employee making a $500,000 salary would pay additional SDI tax of $4,122 compared to 2023.

For most wage earners, the increase is unavoidable, but sole shareholders of private corporations (including married couples who own 100% of a corporation) who are also officers of the corporation may file an election to opt out of SDI coverage and instead purchase private disability insurance that may cost less.

The exemption is made by filing EDD form DE 459 and goes into effect in the calendar quarter filed. It remains irrevocable for the remainder of the year and at least two succeeding calendar years. Thereafter, it remains in effect until withdrawn, although changes in stock ownership or status as a corporate officer may terminate the exemption.

Shareholders who make the election should be aware that they will no longer qualify to receive SDI benefits (including Paid Family Leave) and should consider obtaining alternative disability insurance coverage. They should also notify their payroll companies that the election has been made and that Form DE9C should be coded with plan code “R” to designate the shareholder (and/or spouse) opt-out.   

If you have any questions or are curious to learn more about this planning opportunity, please contact our office.

Businesses Can Save Taxes by Acquiring and Placing Assets in Service by Year End

Under Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code, companies can “expense” the full cost of qualifying fixed assets to reduce their taxable income. This means they can deduct the purchase amount currently rather than having to depreciate the asset over many years. Both new and used fixed assets can qualify. The election is available for qualified property placed in service anytime during the tax year.

If you’d like to reduce your 2023 tax liability and are on a calendar tax year, consider acquiring and placing in service qualified assets by Dec. 31, 2023.

For 2023, the maximum overall deduction allowed is $1.16 million (increasing to $1.22 million for 2024). The total asset purchase limit for 2023 is $2.89 million (increasing to $3.05 million for 2024), after which the deduction for the year is reduced dollar-for-dollar until it’s eliminated. You may be able to claim bonus depreciation (80% for 2023, falling to 60% for 2024) on eligible amounts in excess of your Sec. 179 expensing limit.

Education Benefits Help Attract and Retain Employees While Saving Taxes

Your business can attract and retain employees by providing education benefits that enable team members to improve their skills and gain additional knowledge, all on a tax-advantaged basis. Here’s a closer look at some education benefits options.

Educational Assistance Program

One popular fringe benefit that an employer can offer is an educational assistance program that allows employees to continue learning, and perhaps earn a degree, with financial help from the employer. An employee can receive, on a tax-free basis, up to $5,250 each year under a “qualified educational assistance program.”

For this purpose, “education” means any form of instruction or training that improves or develops an individual’s capabilities. It doesn’t matter if it’s job-related or part of a degree program. This includes employer-provided education assistance for graduate-level courses, as well as courses normally taken by individuals pursuing programs leading to a business, medical, law, or other advanced academic or professional degree.

The educational assistance must be provided under a separate written plan that’s publicized to your employees and meets specific conditions. A plan can’t discriminate in favor of highly compensated employees.

In addition, not more than 5% of the amounts paid or incurred by the employer for educational assistance during the year may be provided for individuals (including their spouses or dependents) who own 5% or more of the business.

No deduction or credit can be claimed by an employee for any amount excluded from the employee’s income as an education assistance benefit.

If you pay more than $5,250 for educational benefits for an employee during the year, that excess amount must be included in the employee’s wages and the employee must generally pay tax on it.

Job-Related Education

In addition to, or instead of applying, the $5,250 exclusion, an employer can fund an employee’s educational expenses on a nontaxable basis if the educational assistance is job-related. To qualify as job-related, the educational assistance must:

  • Maintain or improve skills required for the employee’s then-current job, or
  • Comply with certain express employer-imposed conditions for continued employment.

“Job-related” employer educational assistance isn’t subject to a dollar limit. To be job-related, the education can’t qualify the employee to meet the minimum educational requirements for his or her employment or other trade or business.

Educational assistance benefits meeting the above “job-related” rules are excludable from employees’ income as working condition fringe benefits.

Assistance with Student Loans

Some employers also offer student loan repayment assistance as a recruitment and retention tool. Starting in 2024, employers can help more.

Under the SECURE 2.0 Act, an employer will be able to make matching contributions to 401(k) and certain other retirement plans with respect to “qualified student loan payments.’ The result of this provision is that employees who can’t afford to save money for retirement because they’re repaying student loan debt can still receive matching contributions from their employers.

Tax-Smart Employee Attraction and Retention

In today’s competitive job market, providing education-related assistance can make a difference in attracting and retaining the best employees. Structured properly, these plans can also save taxes for both your business and your employees.

Use the Tax Code to Make Business Losses Less Painful

Whether you’re operating a new company or an established business, losses can happen. The federal tax code may help soften the blow by allowing businesses to apply losses to offset taxable income in future years, subject to certain limitations.

Qualifying for a Deduction

The net operating loss (NOL) deduction addresses the tax inequities that can exist between businesses with stable income and those with fluctuating income. It essentially lets the latter average out their income and losses over the years and pay tax accordingly.

Eligibility for the NOL deduction depends on having deductions for the tax year that exceed your income. The loss generally must be caused by deductions related to your:

  • Business (Schedules C and F losses, or Schedule K-1 losses from partnerships or S corporations),
  • Casualty and theft losses from a federally declared disaster, or
  • Rental property (Schedule E).

The following generally aren’t part of the NOL determination:

  • Capital losses that exceed capital gains,
  • The exclusion for gains from the sale or exchange of qualified small business stock,
  • Nonbusiness deductions that exceed nonbusiness income,
  • The NOL deduction itself, and
  • The Section 199A qualified business income deduction.

Individuals and C corporations are eligible to claim the NOL deduction. Partnerships and S corporations generally aren’t eligible, but partners and shareholders can calculate individual NOLs using their separate shares of business income and deductions.

Limitations

Prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), taxpayers could carry back NOLs for two years and carry them forward 20 years. They also could apply NOLs against 100% of their taxable income.

The TCJA limits NOL deductions to 80% of taxable income for the year and eliminates the carryback of NOLs (except for certain farming losses). However, it does allow NOLs to be carried forward indefinitely.

If your NOL carryforward is more than your taxable income for the year you carry it to, you may have an NOL carryover. That’s the excess of the NOL deduction over your modified taxable income for the carryforward year. If your NOL deduction includes multiple NOLs, you must apply them against your modified taxable income in the same order you incurred them, beginning with the earliest.

A Limit on Excess Business Losses

The TCJA also established an “excess business loss” limitation, effective beginning in 2021. For partnerships or S corporations, this limitation applies at the partner or shareholder level, after applying the outside basis, at-risk and passive activity loss limitations.Under the rule, noncorporate taxpayers’ business losses can offset only business-related income or gain, plus an inflation-adjusted threshold. For 2023, that threshold is $289,000, or $578,000 if married filing jointly. For 2024, the thresholds are $305,000 and $610,000, respectively. Remaining losses are treated as an NOL carryforward to the next tax year. That is, you can’t fully deduct them because they become subject to the 80% income limitation on NOLs, reducing their tax value.

Important: Under the Inflation Reduction Act, the excess business loss limitation applies to tax years beginning before January 1, 2029. Under the TCJA, it had been scheduled to expire after December 31, 2026.

Planning Ahead

The tax rules regarding business losses are complex, especially the interaction between NOLs and other potential tax breaks.

What Exactly Is a “Small Business”?

Although your business may seem big to you, you may wonder how the government classifies it. A recent report by the Joint Committee on Taxation, a nonpartisan committee of the U.S. Congress, discusses what a “small business” is for tax purposes. As the report states, there’s no one definition of a small business. Instead, different definitions apply depending on the context, various criteria and certain thresholds.

Criteria include a business’s gross assets, gross receipts and its number of shareholders and employees. Even if a criterion such as gross receipts is the same across definitions, different thresholds may apply. Also, for some purposes, the tax code might define a small business in more than one way.

Buy-Sell agreements Require Careful Planning

Does your business have multiple owners? If so, you need a buy-sell agreement. This type of binding contract determines how (and at what price) ownership shares of a privately held business will change hands should an owner depart. There are also potential tax consequences to consider.

Unique Challenges

Unlike public companies, private ones have no ready or established market on which to sell ownership shares. This can create difficult circumstances for businesses when something unexpected happens. Say an owner suddenly dies. The owner’s shares may pass on to heirs, but how much are those shares worth and to whom can the heirs sell them? A buy-sell agreement will remove uncertainty by stipulating that remaining owners will buy the ownership interest at a price determined by the stated valuation method. Plus, the agreement will help to prevent an unfamiliar and perhaps unwanted owner from suddenly joining the business.

Setting Parameters

A buy-sell agreement sets up parameters for the transfer of ownership interests following any of a number of “triggering events,” such as an owner’s:

  • Death,
  • Long-term disability,
  • Loss of professional license,
  • Retirement,
  • Bankruptcy, or
  • Divorce.

The agreement will also specify a valuation method for appraising the departing owner’s interest at the appropriate time. In choosing a method, you and your fellow owners should carefully define buyout terms and specify the financial data to be used in the agreement. For example, a sound buy-sell agreement will spell out a required end-date for the financial statements that must be used to appraise business interests following a triggering event. Some also mandate a particular level of assurance (compilation, review or audit) regarding those financial statements.

Different Approaches

In most cases business owners don’t have the cash readily available to buy out a departing owner. So most buy-sell agreements include insurance policies to fund the agreement. This is where different types of agreements come into play. Under a cross-purchase agreement, each owner buys life or disability insurance (or both) on each of the other owners. Should one owner die or become incapacitated, the other owners collect on their policies and use the proceeds to buy the deceased or incapacitated owner’s shares.

Another type is a redemption agreement. Here, the company (not each owner) buys the insurance policies and acquires the deceased or incapacitated owner’s shares. This approach can help businesses with a lot of owners, because fewer policies are needed. In some cases, a company will create a hybrid buy-sell agreement that combines aspects of the cross-purchase and redemption approaches. These agreements may stipulate that the business gets the first opportunity to redeem ownership shares. And, if the company is unable to buy the shares, the remaining owners are then responsible for buying the departing owner’s interests. Alternatively, the owners may have the first opportunity to redeem the shares.

Tax Consequences

The life insurance used to fund buy-sell agreement can also have undesirable tax consequences without proper planning. Life insurance proceeds generally are excluded from the beneficiary’s taxable income, whether the beneficiary is a corporation, another shareholder or a separate entity. An exception is the transfer-for-value rule, under which proceeds will be taxable if an existing policy was acquired for value by someone other than the insured or a partner of the insured, a partnership in which the insured is a partner, or a corporation in which the insured is an officer or shareholder.

This issue often arises when structuring or changing a buy-sell agreement using existing insurance policies. It’s important to structure the agreement so that the transfer-for-value rule won’t have an impact; otherwise, the amount of after-tax insurance proceeds will be reduced.

If your business is structured as a C corporation and has a redemption agreement funded by life insurance, you’ll need to watch out for another possible adverse tax consequence: When the departing shareholder’s shares are redeemed, the value of the remaining owners’ shares will probably rise without increasing their basis. This, in turn, could drive up their tax liability in the event they sell their interests.

You may be able to manage this problem by revising your buy-sell as a cross-purchase agreement. Under this approach, owners will buy additional shares themselves, increasing their basis. But there are downsides. If owners are required to buy a departing owner’s shares but the company redeems the shares instead, the IRS may characterize the purchase as a taxable dividend. Your business may be able to mitigate this risk by crafting a hybrid agreement that names the corporation as a party to the transaction and allows the remaining owners to buy back the stock without requiring them to do so.

Complex but Important

Buy-sell agreements can help closely held businesses ensure a smooth transition when an owner leaves the business. But they also require careful planning to be effective, including properly addressing potential tax issues.

Small Business Financing: Securing a Loan

At some point, most small business owners will visit a bank or other lending institution to borrow money. Understanding what your bank wants and how to approach it properly can mean the difference between getting a loan for expansion or scrambling to find cash from other sources.

Understand the Basic Principles of Banking

It is vital to present yourself as a trustworthy businessperson, dependable enough to repay borrowed money, and to demonstrate that you understand the basic principles of banking. Your chances of receiving a loan will greatly improve if you can see your proposal through a banker’s eyes and appreciate the position that the bank is coming from.

Banks are responsible to government regulators, depositors, and the community in which they reside. While a bank’s cautious perspective may irritate a small business owner, it is necessary to keep the depositors’ money safe, the banking regulators happy, and the community’s economy healthy.

Each Bank Is Different

While banks in general have a cautious attitude toward lending, they differ in the types of financing they make available, interest rates charged, willingness to accept risk, staff expertise, services offered, and attitude toward small business loans.

Selection of a bank is essentially limited to your choices from the local community. Typically, banks outside of your area will be more reluctant to make loans to you because of the higher costs of checking credit and of collecting the loan in the event of default.

Furthermore, a bank will typically not make loans, regardless of business size, unless a checking account or money market account is maintained at that institution. Ultimately your task is to find a business-oriented bank that will provide the financial assistance, expertise, and services your business requires now and is likely to require in the future.

Building Rapport

Establishing a favorable climate for a loan request should begin long before the funds are needed. The worst possible time to approach a new bank about a loan is when your business is in the throes of a financial crisis. Devote time and effort to building a relationship and goodwill with the bank you choose and early on get to know the loan officer you will be dealing with.

Bankers’ overriding concern generally is minimizing risk. Logic dictates that this is best accomplished by limiting loans to businesses they know and trust. One way to build rapport and establish trust is to take out small loans, repay them on schedule, and meet all loan agreement requirements in both letter and spirit. By doing so, you gain the banker’s trust and loyalty, and the banker will consider your business a valued customer and make it easier for you to obtain future financing.

Provide the Information Your Banker Needs

Lending is the essence of the banking business, and making mutually beneficial loans is as important to the bank’s success as it is to the small business. This means that understanding what information a loan officer seeks and providing the evidence required to ease normal banking concerns is the most effective approach to getting the financing you desire.

A sound loan proposal should contain information that expands on the following points:

  • What is the specific purpose of the loan?
  • How much money is required?
  • What is the source of repayment for the loan?
  • What evidence is available to substantiate the assumptions that the expected source of repayment is reliable?
  • What alternative source of repayment is available if management’s plans fail?
  • What business or personal assets, or both, are available to collateralize the loan?
  • What evidence is available to substantiate the competence and ability of the management team?

You need to do your homework before making a loan request because an experienced loan officer will ask probing questions about each of these items. Failure to anticipate such questions or providing unacceptable answers is damaging evidence that you may not completely understand your business and are incapable of planning for its needs.

What To Do Before You Apply for a Loan

1. Write a business plan. Your loan request should be based on and accompanied by a complete business plan. This document is the single most important planning activity you can perform. A business plan is more than a device for getting financing; it is the vehicle that makes you examine, evaluate, and plan for all aspects of your business. A business plan’s existence proves to your banker that you are doing all the right activities. Once you have put the plan together, write a two-page executive summary. You will need it if asked to send “a quick write-up.”

2. Have an accountant prepare historical financial statements. You cannot discuss the future without accounting for your past. Internally generated statements are OK, but your bank wants the comfort of knowing an independent expert has verified the information. Also, you must understand your statement and be able to explain how your operation works and how your finances stand up to industry norms and standards.

3. Line up references. Your banker may want to talk to your suppliers, customers, potential partners, or team of professionals. When a loan officer asks for permission to contact references, promptly answer with names and contact information; do not leave the officer waiting for a week.

Walking into a bank and talking to a loan officer will always be stressful. Preparation for and thorough understanding of this evaluation process is essential to minimize the stressful variables and optimize your potential to qualify for the funding you seek.

Seek Advice From a Tax Professional

The advice and experience of a tax and accounting professional are invaluable. Do not be shy about calling the office.

Small Business: Choosing a Payroll Service Provider

When choosing a payroll service provider to handle payroll and payroll tax, employers should choose a trusted payroll service to help them avoid missed deposits for employment taxes and other unpaid bills. Typically, these clients remain legally responsible for paying the taxes due, even if the employer sent funds to the payroll service provider for required deposits or payments.

Employers are encouraged to enroll in the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) and make sure the payroll service provider uses EFTPS to make tax deposits. EFTPS is free and gives employers safe and easy online access to their payment history, provided they make deposits under their Employer Identification Number (EIN). Using the EFTPS enables them to monitor whether their payroll service provider meets its tax deposit responsibilities.

Employers have two options when finding a trusted payroll service provider:

  • A certified professional employer organization (CPEO). Typically, CPEOs are solely liable for paying the customer’s employment taxes, filing returns, and making deposits and payments for the taxes reported related to wages and other compensation. An employer enters into a service contract with a CPEO, and then Form 8973, Certified Professional Employer Organization/Customer Reporting Agreement, is submitted to IRS. Employers can find a CPEO on the Public Listings page of IRS.gov.
  • Reporting agent. A reporting agent is a payroll service provider that informs the IRS of its relationship with a client using Form 8655, Reporting Agent Authorization, that the client signs. Reporting agents must deposit a client’s taxes using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) and can exchange information with the IRS on behalf of a client if issues arise. They are also required to provide clients a written statement reminding the employer that it, not the reporting agent, is ultimately responsible for the timely filing of returns and payment of taxes.

Employers should contact a tax professional about any bills or notices received, especially payments managed by a third party. They can also call the phone number on the bill, write to the IRS office that sent the bill, or contact the IRS business tax hotline at 800-829-4933.

Most payroll service providers provide quality service, but some don’t. Each year, a few payroll service providers don’t submit their client’s payroll taxes, close down abruptly, and leave employers on the hook.

Don’t get caught short. Choose a payroll service provider you can count on – and don’t hesitate to call the office with any questions about payroll and other business-related taxes.
