Where can I hold my taxes due amount until its time to file?

Asked onTuesday, July 18, 2023 by Samantha

I know business tax is calculated on profit however If I would calculate my taxes due on profit each month where can I keep that "tax amount" while waiting to make the total payment to the IRS? Ex: Month of May income profit is $5000. estimated business tax would be 30% ($1500) where can i put the $1500 until time to pay taxes? Would like to not keep it in the business acct so that the business doesn't accidentally overspend on that money

Do I have to pay taxes on a small class action settlement check? (less than $160)

Asked onTuesday, July 18, 2023 by Mary

This settlement was re machines in hospitals which dispense patient drugs. Never thought anything would come of this class action suit. The check I ended up getting is less than $160. Do I have to pay tax on this when I file my annual income tax in 2024?? Or is the amount considered trivial? That's what I'm hoping. Thanks for your input.

I have an S Corp and have been using SurePayroll to pay myself 60% of my income using the 60-40 rule. I have not taken much distribution yet, but when I do, how should I do it? Should I use my payroll software? Or can I just ACH myself from my business bank account and note the dates and amounts?

Trader's Tax Advantages as a Bona Fide Resident of Puerto Rico

Asked onSunday, July 16, 2023 by MARTA

Hello, I'm looking for advice from a tax firm that has expertise in taxation of futures' contracts, as relating to Puerto Rico tax laws. 1. Does a trader who trades futures' contracts for a living, declaring their earnings on a personal income tax, enjoy the federal capital tax gains exemption as a bona fide Puerto Rico resident? 2. If a trader also trades for a firm and gets a 1099 from that firm, will that trader enjoy any federal tax breaks as a bona fide Puerto Rico resident? 3. To enjoy capital gain tax breaks in Puerto Rico, do I need to make a $10,000 annual tax donation there and buy residential real estate within 2 years of moving? Are there any other requirements? 4. What will my local tax rate be for the 1099 earnings? Are they subject to 15% self employment tax in Puerto Rico? 4. Does your firm prepare tax returns for traders in my situation (futures traded under my personal name and a 1099 received from a trading firm)? How long have you been in business and what the estimated cost of my tax return would be? Thank you kindly for your response.
