Small Business Guidance - Part 2

          It is being said, that there has never been a more diverse market for small business opportunities. There are so many ideas that are taking shape, along with brilliant creativity that is bringing new life into established industries and fields. A great deal of planning, care, and focus needs to be applied to create a business.

          Before a business can start to function, it must have the correct permits to operate and be incorporated. These are basic steps for any business and cannot be ignored. Picking up from our last post, when a new business opens, the flow income and expenses will start. In reality, those records should actually start before the doors open, it just gets faster afterward.

          This is a very stressful time for every business. Many costs need to be tracked, whether they are recurring or one-time, to make sure they don’t get out of hand. At Anthony Sykes & Co we can provide the services you need. With our deep knowledge of the needs that every small business has, we can create a customized plan to help a business thrive. Our bookkeeping services will make sure that all financial records are detailed and allow for easy access to expenses that can be deducted later on the Tax Return. As time goes on, how can a business know its standing in their industry, or in their area? Our next post will go into that subject.

Early Results from Focused Efforts on High Income Tax Cheats

            Over the past year, the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) has used funding from the Inflation Reduction Act on audit activities for those who earn more than $1 million and have more than $250,000 in tax debt. In that time, the IRS collected $1 billion from the group that met these criteria. The increase in funding will allow for other goals to be reached as well.           More staff has been added and technology is being updated to provide better service to all taxpayers in the coming years. The IRS will now expand its enforcement activity to include complex partnerships, large corporations, and high-income high wealth individuals who do not file tax returns. In recent years the IRS was not consistent with enforcing tax rules in this area and had fallen behind in the ways some had gotten around their tax responsibilities. These new initiatives look to bridge that gap. If you are in need of t...

Protect Yourself from Threats

            When it comes to data security threats, the challenges never end. The tactics that criminals use continue to change, but there are some basic things to keep in mind. When it comes to mass email messages or texts, the goal is to get someone to click on a link to steal information or download malware. This is phishing or smishing. An update to this scam is called clone phishing. In this variation, a real email is copied and sent to the recipient again. This time it has an attachment with malicious software or a link to a website designed to steal your personal information.           We can never be too sure how the attack will present itself, but we can be prepared with security measures to protect ourselves. Stop and be aware of warning signs. Unexpected messages with urgent tones telling you to click or download something should be examined closely. Getting a repeated message from a trusted source w...

The IRS Focuses on High Income Tax Cheats

             The Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) continues to focus on applying the tax laws with accuracy and fairness. With that in mind, they have announced that they are restarting a program that focuses on individuals who did not file returns from 2017 to 2021 and had at least $400,000 in income. They have identified at least 125,000 cases of people who are not in compliance.           The non-filer letters will be going out every week to start the process of filing returns, collecting taxes, interest, and penalties. The basis of these letters comes from information through Forms W2, 1099 and others. Those who receive letters of this nature need to take quick action. The enforcement actions in this program are stronger than usual. That makes it critical that those who receive these letters go to a qualified tax professional . The IRS can be made aware of qualifying deductions and credits that can ch...
