Logging COG's & Sales

Asked onFriday, April 07, 2023 by Tony

Do I have to itemize every specific item for COGS and Sales with my small business Sole Proprietorship? I've been grouping in lots (By day or transaction) and logging them into my google sheets. They are low cost items that all are unique. Is this an acceptable way to document for taxes? Thank you!

Deductions and Write-Offs

Need to rent out of state apartment for business

Asked onFriday, April 07, 2023 by Tammy

I currently have a digital media company based out of my home in NY. Two of clients are located in NY and the other is in Washington DC. I recently have been hired to work on a special project in Washington DC for one year. I found an apartment in Delaware which is the middle ground for both my clients. The rent for the apartment is $3,300 per month. Would I be able to write any of that rent and utilities off as a tax deduction?

Will my accountant know I filed with someone else?

Asked onFriday, April 07, 2023 by Dawn

Most of my income is from contract work. I met with my accountant and gave him my paperwork. He called to tell me I owe over $10,000 more, on top of what I paid quarterly. I have to put $15,000 into an IRA to keep from owing more than the $10,000. I feel that I should have more deductions than what he told me about. At this point, I’d like a second opinion, but my second opinion will result in me filing late. So, my question is… will my accountant know I filed with someone else and can I file for an extension?

Used ADP to get paid (Im a single member LLC)

Asked onThursday, April 06, 2023 by Karina

Hi, I used ADP to pay myself. Adp sent me a W2 form for 2022 year. I was trying to make things simple but after visiting a tax specialist they said I made a mistake using adp and didnt need a W2. One big issue that needs to be fixed is the (STATE INCOME TAX) section. Basically how it was explained to me was that the amount needs to go somewhere but its got no where to go. I called ADP to ask them what they can do to help me fix this and they said that they need to know from an accountant of where to transfer that money. Initially my thought was that I would use adp to get paid with deductions already so that at the end of the year I would simple. I didnt think I would pay myself more than 10k, 15k. The other money that was made I was going to invest into my business. -Karina

Repaying investors via a new business

Asked onThursday, April 06, 2023 by Jason

Hello, I had two businesses. The first, Business 1, a film production company, received investments and was closed, with the investors taking a loss. The second business, Business 2, continues some of the work of Business 1, as well as other projects. Business 2 just received a modest windfall. I'd like to share those proceeds with investors who took a loss on Business 1. Do I need to pay them as consultants or contractors via a W9 / then a 1099-MISC?
