How to Prepare Your Business for Next Season’s Taxes?

Jul 2019Jan 2021

Florida tax season is right around the corner. That means tax preparation and planning for SMB’s and individuals are in order as well. If you’re caught off guard this year, by doing a few simple things this year, you’ll be ahead of schedule next time tax season rolls around. Imagine how nice that would feel!

Tax Season Prep: Must-Dos for Small Businesses and Individuals

First and foremost, checking your paycheck withholdings are very wise. The changes that incurred in the 2018 season may have affected your paycheck, likely to the good. But… is that really good? If you’re taking home too much and not paying in enough, you know what that means. Prepare ahead of time by adjusting your withholdings to adequately fund what you’ll pay out. You may also want to complete a new Employee’s Withholding Certificate as well as a fresh W-4 reflecting the changes.

In the event that you don’t, or won’t, be eligible for a tax refund, you can budget accordingly. If you’ve always used your refund to finance your family vacation, you can put back money each paycheck instead. Your financial planner can help you become non-dependent on tax refunds and can help you prepare to pay in or whatever your individual case may be.

The number of individuals working from home as freelancers are skyrocketing. If you’re a freelancer, be sure to save vital records like carpooling information, gas and mileage tracking, Internet costs, and so forth. In addition, you’d be smart to put back 30% of your wages so you’ll be fully prepared. The same is true for being self-employed, even if it’s through an independent contract situation.
