If your deduction amount is less than 20 percent of your qualified business income (QBI), then consider using one or more of the strategies described below.

Last Minute Tax Planning: Vehicle Purchases

On or before December 31, 2021, buy and place in service a new or used SUV or crossover vehicle.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act gives you bonus depreciation of 100 percent. If you buy and place in service a qualifying used $50,000 SUV, you can claim 90 percent business use. A pickup truck must have a gross vehicle weight (GVWR) of more than 6,000 pounds to qualify for full Section 179 expensing. If the bed-length test isn't met, the truck is still eligible for bonus depreciation.

Please contact me if you'd want to talk about vehicle strategies.

Last Minute Tax Planning: Family Tax Deductions

If you have a child under the age of 18 and you operate your business as a Schedule C sole proprietor or as a spousal partnership, you absolutely need to consider having that child on your payroll. With a traditional IRA, the child can avoid all federal income taxes on up to $18,550 in income. If you run your corporation as a corporation, you can still benefit by employing the child even though both your corporation and your child suffer payroll taxes. If you bought your house after December 15, 2017, then the reduced $750,000 mortgage limit from the TCJA applies. For two single people, the maximum deduction for mortgage interest is based on a ceiling of $1.5 million.
If you are married on or before December 31, 2021, you get married for the entire year. If a loved one is in the 0 percent capital gains tax bracket, you can get extra bang for your buck by giving this person appreciated stock. You give Aunt Millie shares of stock with a fair market value of $20,000, for which you paid $2,000. If you're married and you made the gift together, you each have a $15,000 gift-tax exclusion.

I understand that taxes might be perplexing. That is, after all, why you have me! I'm always available to help. Please contact me if you wish to discuss.
