If you sell your home, you may be eligible for a major tax break: A tax exclusion for up to $250,000 of gain on the sale ($500,000 for joint filers). But there are several requirements. One is that the home must be your principal residence. If you’re thinking about selling a vacation home, consider whether you could convert it to your principal residence first to take advantage of the gain exclusion. Or convert it to a rental property for different tax-saving opportunities. Let’s talk about your options. Contact us at (702) 743-6091.

Many Americans seek to earn money by way of a side hustle, which sometimes starts as a hobby. Reminder: This income is taxable. Depending on whether the IRS considers the activity to be a business or a hobby, the tax treatment is very different. On their tax returns, businesses can generally deduct ordinary and necessary business expenses. But if the IRS deems an activity a hobby, deductions are much more limited. To determine if an activity is considered a business, the IRS looks at key factors. These include whether the taxpayer displays a profit motive, operates in a businesslike manner and keeps good records.

Proper payroll recordkeeping is critical for every business to ensure tax compliance and guard against litigation. Most companies must keep information regarding federal income, Social Security and Medicare taxes for at least four years after the due date of an employee’s personal income tax return for the year in which the payment was made. This is known as the “records-in-general” rule, and various data and documents fall under it. Contact us at (702) 743-6091 to schedule a review of your payroll recordkeeping processes today!

Each year, some taxpayers file their tax returns and eagerly await a refund. But then they find out it’s been reduced or withheld. If a taxpayer has unpaid federal or state tax debt, including child support, the IRS can offset the debt by applying a refund toward it. For some taxpayers, a refund is essential for covering necessary expenses. Losing it can create a hardship. The National Taxpayer Advocate advises eligible taxpayers to document any economic hardship and seek an “offset bypass refund.” Note: this must be done before the IRS offsets the refund, so don’t wait.

If the IRS has a question about your tax return, hasn’t received a payment due or has made adjustments to something you’ve filed, it will notify you with a letter or notice sent via the USPS. The letter will provide instructions on how to respond, which might include sending copies of records the IRS requires. But what if you disagree with the tax agency’s assessment of a situation? Follow the instructions included in the notice and keep copies of everything you mail to the IRS for up to three years. You can also contact us at (702) 743-6091 for help with any tax dispute.

If you're self-employed and use part of your home exclusively and regularly for business, you may qualify for home office tax deductions.

Don’t wait until tax time: Start tracking your expenses now. Questions? Contact us at (702) 743-6091 to see if you qualify. We’re here to help!

Few estate planning subjects are as misunderstood as probate. It’s a legal procedure in which a court establishes the validity of your will, determines the value of your estate, resolves creditors’ claims, provides for the payment of taxes and other debts, and transfers assets to your heirs. Depending on applicable state law, probate can be expensive and time consuming. There are strategies to avoid (or minimize) probate. For smaller estates, title assets in a manner that allows them to be transferred directly to your beneficiaries outside your will. Contact us at (702) 743-6091 with questions.
