I recently finished reading Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike. It was a fantastic read and I highly recommend it to you, my entrepreneurial friends. I found myself identifying with Phil Knight throughout the book; but also noted the sharp difference in privilege and opportunity. It follows his life story, leading up to the creation of Nike to its IPO and beyond. If any of you have read it, I’d love your thoughts!
📕
I followed Shoe Dog up with Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover. It’s the remarkably true story of a large survivalist family from Idaho. They live in isolation, homeschooling their children, and using only home-based/homeopathic therapies. The novel follows Tara’s upbringing and departure from this family, in an attempt to get a formal college education. It was an emotional and jaw-dropping read. It really taught me a lesson in perception and culture.
📗
Now I’m onto Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell and OH MY WORD is this good so far. I know I’m late to this party but TALK ABOUT A LESSON IN PERCEPTION! It’s humbling, informative, and entertaining. I can’t wait to see where Gladwell takes me next! 2020 wasn’t good for a whole lot, but it was good to catch up on some reading. What books are you hoping to get through in 2021?

It’s December, so you know I’m going to be harping about year-end.
A big part of year-end for many product-based businesses is the inventory count. The IRS requires businesses to value (physically count) their inventory at the beginning and end of each year. This requirement contributes to many companies electing a fiscal tax year, as opposed to the calendar year most of us are used to. Typically, having inventory for companies that produce, buy, or sell products, also means they must maintain their accounting on the accrual basis.
Thankfully, there is an exemption for small businesses ➡️ Defined as having $26 million or less in gross revenue for the prior three years. You can use the cash basis of accounting and expense inventory costs as you incur them. You wouldn’t be required to maintain inventory records or value the items each year.
If you are a small business on the accrual basis right now and want to switch to cash basis, you can do that! You just need approval from the IRS, which you can request using Form 3115. As always, if you aren’t sure how your business is structured is the best for your tax situation, book an appointment with your CPA!

Traveling sure took a hit this year. 📉
Business travel was not an exception to that. But entrepreneurs understand that nothing will completely stop business. Stop people from trying to make a dollar and fulfill their dreams. 💭
If you or your employees did have to travel away from home for business this year, its good to know what the IRS expects and allows. 👇
🏠 Your tax home is the whole city/general area where the business is located, not your actual family home.
💅 You can’t deduct expenses that are extravagant or lavish.
🛫 You can deduct the cost of taking an airplane, train, bus or car between your home and your business destination.
🚕 Expense fares for taxis or other types of transportation between the airport/train station, hotel, and work location.
🛎 Lodging and non-entertainment-related meals are okay.
👔 Dry cleaning and laundry are deductible.
⛽ Rental cars, gas, tolls, and parking fees are all allowed expenses.
📞 Business communication costs while on the trip are fully deductible.
🖨 Any other ordinary and necessary expenses, such as computer rental or maintaining a trailer.

2020 is THE BEST year to participate in giving Tuesday, for many reasons. ⤵️
So many of our fellow humans around the world are in greater need than ever. I don’t need to remind you of all the problems we’ve faced on Earth this year. 💔🌎
In the USA, our government so badly wants us to help each other they removed the cap on tax deductible charitable contribution. For 2020 only, you can deduct 100% of your adjusted gross income 😱
Also for 2020 only, you are allowed up to a $300 deduction for charitable contributions, even if you don't itemize 😱😱
Only cash donations are allowed (no salvation army write-offs here) and they must go to a qualified charitable organization.
Happy Giving!

‘Advertising and promotion’ is the most underrated expense category, imo.
You can deduct reasonable advertising expenses that are directly related to your business activities.
You can also deduct the cost of goodwill advertising to keep your name in a positive light before the public. That is if it relates to business you reasonably expect to gain in the future. For example, the cost of advertising that encourages people to contribute to the Red Cross, to buy U.S. Savings Bonds, or to participate in similar causes is usually deductible.

As the holidays approach, don’t forget the IRS allows you to deduct 100% of the cost of office parties, and you don’t even have to beg!!
I know I know, we are all still shocked about losing the 50% entertainment deduction. Don’t let that deter you from taking the deductions we are allowed.
• Outings held for the benefit of its employees
• Meals and entertainment expenses reimbursed to employees upon submission of employee expense reports
• Meals and entertainment provided to employees as compensation and reported as taxable wages

#Throwback to the sun, sand, and good vibes of summer.
As we head into the holiday season, it’s a good time to touch base on deducting gift expenses. Here are the rules set-forth by the IRS, on gifting as a business.
✅ You can deduct no more than $25 of the cost of business gifts you give directly or indirectly to each person during your tax year.
✅ If you and your spouse both give gifts to the same person, both of you are treated as one taxpayer.
✅ Incidental costs such as engraving, packing or shipping aren't included in the $25 limit if they don't add substantial value to the gift.
✅ For purposes of the $25 per person limit, don't consider gifts costing $4.00 or less that have your business name permanently engraved on the item and which you distribute on a regular basis.
✅ Any item that could be considered either a gift or as entertainment is generally considered entertainment and cannot be deducted.
✅ You need to have records that prove the business purpose of the gift as well as the details of the amount spent.

I know all my super smart followers know what nexus is, so I won’t bother you with that again.
If you have been selling goods online for a while, you may or may not be aware that 43 states have enacted Marketplace Facilitator laws. Meaning online marketplaces like Etsy and Amazon are now required to collect and remit the sales tax on your behalf. 🎉🎉🎉
5 states have no sales tax. 🙀
Leaving Kansas and Florida with possible sales tax collecting and reporting requirements. Keep your peepers on those sales ya’all. 👀
If you sell through multiple sites, know these marketplace facilitators laws only govern sales on sites like Etsy, Ebay, Amazon, Walmart, ect. You are still required to collect and remit sales tax on sales through your website or a smaller service not considered a marketplace. That is of course if you meet the state’s nexus law (see previous post).
In closing, please please please don’t think that the marketplace facilitators laws mean you don’t have to consider those 43 states at all. SOME states still require for you to register your business with the state if you cross their economic nexus thresholds.

Where are the #makers at?? 📣
If you have been selling on Etsy for a while, you probably already know all about nexus. Here is a recap for those new to the game:
South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc. made it possible for states to require ecommerce businesses to collect and remit sales tax based on economic nexus, not a physical presence test.
Wait… what?
Say you are a Michigan based business and sell your products online. If you make a sale to a customer in Kansas, you need to add a 6.5% sales tax to the total at checkout.
You would need to register with the state of Kansas for sales tax, file sales tax returns as they are due, and pay this sales tax collected out to the state.
Does it sound confusing and like a ton of work? That’s because it is. This ruling really complicated things for small businesses trying to compete in the online market.
As if this couldn’t get any better… Since becoming law in 2008, all 50 states have determined their own definition of nexus.
You have nexus in California if you have $500,000/year in gross revenue on the previous or current calendar year’s sales. So, you aren’t required to collect or remit sales tax until you reach this threshold.
In states like Kentucky and Louisiana, you have to have $100,000/year in gross revenue OR have more than 200 separate transactions in one year to create nexus.
Some states, like Delaware, have no sales tax.
Then there is Kansas, they consider ALL sales into the state to create nexus.
Thankfully, many of the states quickly realized the burden this places on small sellers across the country. To the relief of many Esty makers and Amazon merchants, states began enacting marketplace facilitator laws.
Stay tuned for my next post, where I dive a little deeper into marketplace facilitator laws and how they help certain emerchants.

Are you wondering if that course to help improve your skills for your company is worth the money? If you can write it off, it suddenly becomes even more appealing.
If you are self-employed, in many cases the IRS will let you write it off. Just make sure the course:
1. Maintains or improves skills needed in your present work or
2. A law requires you take it to keep your present salary, status or job.
3. Is not a program that will qualify you for a new trade or business.
You are allowed to deduct the cost of the class, books, supplies, and even certain travel costs to attend.
So go ahead -- expand your mind and 2020 deductions.

Do you own an S Corporation? Have you heard of the tax advantages and considered making the election?
The payroll bit can be pretty nerve wracking for owners accustomed to being a sole proprietor or a general partner. Understanding what the IRS expects of you should help make the whole thing less frightening.
Basically the fed’s want to see you take “reasonable compensation”. Here is what they say on the matter:
“S corporations must pay reasonable compensation to a shareholder-employee in return for services that the employee provides to the corporation before non-wage distributions may be made to the shareholder-employee. The amount of reasonable compensation will never exceed the amount received by the shareholder either directly or indirectly.”
The IRS is given the authority to reclassify distributions as wages, so you really want to get this right.
First, you want to determine what you did for the company in regards to the money it brings in.
To the extent the sales are generated directly from SERVICES provided by the shareholder, you will want to treat that income as wages.
To the extent sales are generated from SERVICES RENDERED BY EMPLOYEES or PRODUCT SALES, this can be paid out as a distribution.
When determining a reasonable compensation, try to consider the following factors.
✅ Training and experience
☑ Duties and responsibilities
✅ Time and effort devoted to the business
☑ Dividend history
✅ Payments to non-shareholder employees
☑ Timing and manner of paying bonuses to key people
✅ What comparable businesses pay for similar services
☑ Compensation agreements
✅ The use of a formula to determine compensation

Over a week in and I’m still floored its October. As we round out 2020, I think we will all give a sigh of relief that this year is almost over. Every single person on this planet had their life disrupted within a 3 month period. In itself, a rare event in the modern world. We ALL went THROUGH it this year. We owe it to ourselves and fellow humans to be kind and little bit understanding.
We should also all set ourselves up for success in 2021. Getting ahead of the obvious stuff we always put off and making an honest effort to do better. Do better for ourselves, for those around us, and for the next generation. Just some of my thoughts and a lovely quote to start your Thursday with.

Are you considering diving into business?
If so, you will inevitably run into the following question:
How do I handle my start-up costs?
We need to first define what a start-up cost even is. The IRS puts it like this:
“Start-up costs include any amounts paid or incurred in connection with creating an active trade or business or investigating the creation or acquisition of an active trade or business.”
✅ Cost to Acquire an Existing Company
✅ Advertising
✅ Payroll Costs for Training
✅ Product or Market Research
✅ Professional and Consulting Fees
✅ Equipment
“Organizational costs include the costs of creating a corporation or partnership.”
☑ Legal and Accounting Fees for Services Rendered to Organize the Corporation or Partnership.
☑ State and Local Filing Fees
☑ Cost of Temporary Directors
☑ Cost of Organization Meetings
Business start-up and organizational costs are generally capital expenditures. However, you can elect to deduct up to $5,000 of business start-up and $5,000 of organizational costs.
Any remaining costs must be amortized over 15 years.
If you spend more than $50,000 in start-up and organizational costs you will want to sit-down with an accountant. There will be special rules that apply to you.

Did you know in 2015 a study done by PwC showed that bookkeepers were the #1 at risk job of being lost to automation? This is because the data entry function is being replaced by bots and AI. If you are still spending long hours on your accounting functions, with little time left to really analyze the data being produced, you are doing yourself and your business a huge disservice.
I have watched firsthand over the last 15 years how companies have evolved. From doing accounting with huge teams using giant monochrome computers. To an individual managing via an app on their smart phone on-the-go.
It has been an amazing process that expands by leaps and bounds every year. When QuickBooks online started their automation process, I remember how much people resisted it. Some people did not even want to try the new features. Thankfully, enough of us got over our fears and worked with the developers to produce software that would have blown my mind freshman year of college.
I cannot wait to see what accounting tech looks like in another 15 years. Try not to resist the new technology. As they say, “If you aren’t the one doing the automating, you are being automated”.

🕰 Save Time and Money
✅ Improved Accuracy
💵 Faster Turn Around of Customer Payments
📖 Complete Books and Records
📃 Access to Data that Brings You True Value
💸 No Missed Payments, savings late fees and interest

Do you think Ruca could pass for a guard dog? Luna and the IRS sure don’t think so.
If you want to write your dog expenses off as a security cost for your business, it needs to be of a typical breed for the job; Rottweiler, German Shepherd, or Doberman Pinscher. Not only that, but the dog must be trained and certified as a guard dog.
Furthermore, the dog must live full-time at the business and be there solely to protect the business’s property.
Don’t try to write off your family dog guys, you are just asking for trouble.
HOWEVER – If you have a legitimate guard dog, you can deduct the full cost of food, training, vet bills, and miscellaneous items such as their kennel and collars. Keep in mind that the dog will be an asset, just like any other the business owns. Meaning, you have to depreciate the initial cost of the dog over 7 years. Section 179 applies here, so take advantage of that if you can.
As always, if you are unsure if you can take an expense, check in with your local CPA or EA for further guidance.

Are you thinking of joining a pricey “members only” club because you figure you can write it off as a networking expense for your business?
📣YOU BETTER KEEP READING THIS POST📣
The IRS does not allow companies to deduct “amounts paid or incurred for membership in any club organized for business, pleasure, recreation, or any other social purpose. This includes country clubs, golf and athletic clubs, hotel clubs, sporting clubs, airline clubs, and clubs operated to provide meals under circumstances generally considered to be conducive to business discussions.”
That is the fed’s drawn out way of saying networking clubs.
HOWEVER – There is a list of organizations whose membership fees would be deductible. Go ahead and write off the following:
✅ Boards of trade.
✅ Business leagues.
✅ Chambers of commerce.
✅ Civic or public service organizations.
✅ Real estate boards.
✅ Trade associations.
✅ Professional organizations such as bar associations and medical associations.

This definition is so important to wrap your head around. You will run into this term anytime you sell an asset with tax reporting requirements. That’s real estate, artwork, stocks, virtual currency, and even options. Yes boys and girls, Uncle Same wants a piece of that put.

As fall approaches, the holiday season isn’t far behind. If you like to spoil your customers or employees, there are certain rules you need to be aware of when deducting gift expenses. This information is straight from IRS so if you have a problem with it, take it up with them.
✅ You can deduct no more than $25 of the cost of business gifts you give directly or indirectly to each person during your tax year.
✅ If you and your spouse both give gifts to the same person, both of you are treated as one taxpayer.
✅ Incidental costs such as engraving, packing or shipping aren't included in the $25 limit if they don't add substantial value to the gift.
✅ For purposes of the $25 per person limit, don't consider gifts costing $4.00 or less that have your business name permanently engraved on the item and which you distribute on a regular basis.
✅ Any item that could be considered either a gift or as entertainment is generally considered entertainment and cannot be deducted.
✅ You need to have records that prove the business purpose of the gift as well as the details of the amount spent.

Do you run your business out of your home? If so, you may be able to deduct the business portion of your real estate taxes, mortgage interest, rent, casualty losses, utilities, insurance, depreciation, maintenance, and repairs.
As with anything tax related, there are lots of rules to follow and records you will need to keep. Just know there are two methods to this deduction (Regular & Simplified) and to deduct expenses for the business use of the home, you must use part of your home as one of the following:
✅ Exclusively and regularly as your principal place of business for your trade or business.
✅ Exclusively and regularly as a place where you meet and deal with your patients, clients, or customers in the normal course of your trade or business.
✅ A separate structure that's not attached to your home used exclusively and regularly in connection with your trade or business.
✅ On a regular basis for storage of inventory or product samples used in your trade or business of selling products at retail or wholesale.
✅ For rental use.
✅ As a daycare facility.

It’s hard to believe that it has already been a full year since I quit my 9-5 job to take my side hustle full-time. With the coronavirus, it was probably the worst year to start-up a business. But as an entrepreneur, you never know what each year will bring.
I refused to give up when times got tough and am fortunate to work for equally motivated small business owners. A year and a global pandemic later, I have learned and grown remarkedly. I wish I could go back and tell my former self so much.
I wouldn’t be here without the support of my amazing clients and loved ones. I have never felt so grateful for and connected-to my true tribe. This week I’m meditating on not only where I have been, but where I want to go from here. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Its back-to-school for students all over the country today. COVID-19 is making it look quite different than in years past. With all the uncertainty, its more important than ever to ensure you have all your loose ends tied up.
Please keep record of all your educational expenses. From tuition to books and supplies, there are tax advantages to education. Not to mention that thanks to the expanded rules for 529 plans, there has never been a better time to save for your child’s education. The SECURE Act allows us to even pay down student loans with 529 funds. Definitely worth looking into, friends.

Luna is a little bummed today... she learned she isn’t allowed to write-off the yoga pants she bought to teach hot doga in. 😕
It’s generating taxable income for her and those Lululemons were supposed be the outfit that kept on giving. 🧘♀️
UNFORTUNATELY, the IRS is very clear about this; uniform expenses are reserved for garments that are not suitable for everyday wear.
So my dog can’t write off her yoga pants and you can’t write off that suit and tie (under most circumstances).
If you have a problem with it, take it up with Uncle Sam.

I cannot even begin to tell you how many times I’ve heard “How do I owe taxes when my business made so little last year?” The answer to that question always lies in the difference between your cash flow and your taxable income.
📣All business owners need to be mindful that not every expense is created equal.📣
The best example I can give is when you pay down debt. Say you took out a 5-year loan for $10k to help get your business off the ground. You make the monthly payments the first year and then in the second-year business is doing good, so you decide to pay it off early. You double up your monthly payments and pay off the remaining balance in lump sum at year-end.
You are on ☁️cloud nine☁️ going into the new year debt free and feel since you took such little money personally, you shouldn’t end up with a big tax bill.
You are shocked 🤬 when you get a big tax bill and try to ensure your accountant that you are broke personally and poured every cent into the company.
UNFORTUNATELY, only the interest portion of those loan payments are deductible from your TAXABLE income. When you spent that loan (or credit card) money last year, you got to deduct those expenses and in turn created a liability. The principal payments on the loan are paying down this liability and are therefore not deductible for tax purposes.
⚠️You are taxed on profit, not money you took from the company.⚠️
Could you maybe have used that extra money to buy a new piece of equipment that would have provided tax relief and helped you increase your bottom line even more next year❓❓❓
That is why it is so important to not only understand the difference between your cash flow and taxable income; but also, to be strategic with your money.
Get you an accountant that is tracking all the things.

Does your business pay subcontractors that require you to file a 1099 at the end of the year?
⚠️ Then you better read this post! ⚠️
Gone are the days when we could report all nonemployee compensation on Form 1099-MISC. Starting in 2020 the IRS wants you to submit Form 1099-NEC for anyone you pay over $600 in one year for the following:
✅ Services performed by someone who is not your employee (including parts and materials).
✅ Cash payments for fish (or other aquatic life) you purchase from anyone engaged in the trade or business of catching fish.
✅ Payments to an attorney.

Hey business owners, remember the good ole days of 2017 and prior when we could deduct 50% of entertainment expenses? Well those days are gone.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminated the entertainment deduction, but we are still allowed to deduct 50% of meals. The IRS did throw us a bone and ruled that food and beverages that are provided during entertainment events will not be considered entertainment if purchased separately from the event.
You know the feds always have added stipulations, and for meals these are them:
✅ The expense is an ordinary and necessary expense paid or incurred during the taxable year.
✅ The expense is not lavish or extravagant under the circumstances.
✅ The taxpayer, or an employee of the taxpayer, is present at the furnishing of the food or beverages.
✅ The food and beverages are provided to a current or potential business customer, client, consultant, or similar business contact.
So go ahead and chow down!

Have you ever heard the phase “only your gain is taxable” and wondered what that meant? Well don’t worry, you aren’t alone. Terminology is everything in the finance world. Once you learn their “language”, common sense will get you pretty far.
Your Gain = Sale Price ➖ What you paid for the asset.
If you bought a stock for $50 and sold it for $75, your gain is $25.
$25 = $75 ➖ $50
If you only pay tax on the GAIN of this stock, you would pay tax on $25.

Are you saving your receipts? You should be, but it doesn't need to be dramatic or cost you anything extra. You probably already have a #DropBox, #GoogleDrive, #iCloud, or #OneDrive account. Make a 'Receipts' folder and in there a '2020' folder. Take a picture 🤳 of all the receipts you accumulate from the week and save them to that folder.
You can get fancy if you want. A property manager could have a folder for each location. Do you think your CPA would ask you less questions if they had access to these folders? You never know when you might need them or an outsider (auditor) will request them

The 2020 standard mileage rate is 57.5 cents per mile. 😱 In some cases, that is pretty generous of Uncle Sam. 🇺🇲
If you own or lease the car you use for your business, you can use the standard mileage rate if you also meet these conditions:
✅ You must not operate five or more cars at the same time, as in a fleet operation.
✅ If it is a lease, you aren’t allowed to have ever used the actual expenses for this vehicle. Pick a method people.
✅ If you own the car, you must use the mileage rate in the first year, but in later years you can use actual expenses.
✅ You must use straight line depreciation and not have claimed Section 179 deduction or special depreciation on the car.
As an added bonus to businesses electing the mileage rate, other car expenses for parking fees and tolls are separately deductible.
But as they say, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you plan on taking the mileage rate, the IRS expects you to keep meticulous records. A log is needed with where you went, from where, when you went there and what the beginning and ending miles were on that vehicle. You can write it in a notebook or download an app to help you keep track. Just know, the IRS doesn’t allow you to deduct for commuting miles.

All boaters know that you are required to have a life vest for each passenger onboard. That doesn’t mean it will ever be used or even get wet. That’s kind of like your emergency fund. You need cash to cover several months’(minimum) worth of expenses set aside yet accessible. Like those life vests, hopefully you never need to touch it. But 2020 has taught us all that we need our own personal life vests to avoid drowning when the world does something unpredictable. 🚤

Luna is not looking very motivated here. Is this how you look when thinking about your finances? Lethargic and slightly uncomfortable. If so, you are not alone. Here are two tips to help perk up your pocketbook.
1. Set a short-term goal. Whether it is to stay within budget for one week or save an extra $10-$1,000 this month. No objective is to small and every victory is worth celebrating.
2. Check your tribe. It is way harder to stay on track when your bestie insists on meeting at that upscale café for brunch every Sunday. If they genuinely care for you, your friends will not only respect your budget, but also cheer you on as you accomplish your goals. Make sure those closest to you know about your journey to financial fitness. 💸

I know, everyone is already hounding you to save and prepare for a health emergency. Don’t worry, this isn’t that kind of post. I’m just trying to tell you that if you USE your Health Savings Account (HSA), you can save money on your taxes.
If you have to pay a $100 medical bill anyway, put it in your HSA then pay the bill with your HSA. Next year you will get to deduct that $100 from your taxable income on your tax return.
Another beautiful part of doing this is the HSA will track how much you deposit and send you a form reporting the total at the end of the year. Just make sure all purchases are qualified medical expenses and you’re good. There is an annual deductibility limit of $3,550 per individual and $7,100 per family. So, you don’t have to go too crazy. 👩⚕️

Do you ever senselessly spend money? Or completely forget about purchases you made until they show up on your monthly statement? If so, here are 3 tips to help be more money mindful.
1. Start a savings fund for a larger purchase. Be it a vacation, an emergency fund, or even a new home. This goal will help give you a reason to not mindlessly spend on other things. Try to give this goal some of your mental attention every day, so it stays in the forefront of all your mental spending processes.
2. Create a monthly budget to plan out your spending. Anytime you deviate from the budget or go shopping, sent an intention. Before checking out, check-in with your intention. Is this what you came to buy? Are these items more important to you than reaching your larger spending goal?
3. Look at your bank and credit card statements every month. Seeing and closely tracking the money coming in and out of your life will help you gain a whole new understanding and control of it. In an added benefit, it will help you identify overcharges and, in some cases, fraud. 💲

To the left of this fence is the sea wall in a bay of Lake St. Clair. Record high lake levels are reshaping the coasts along our great lakes. The second picture is the same spot a year before. It will be interesting to see what this same spot looks like next year.

Seeing the flag at half-mast is a gentle reminder of all the loss and sacrifice happening around the world right now. The hard work of so many will not be lost to history, but revered in all its strength.

Last year on Star Wars day I was in Detroit cheering on the Tigers. A lot has changed since then. With the rest of the world, I'm learning to pivot, adapt, and carry on. I'm not entirely sure life will go back to exactly how it was before the virus. I'm also not entirely sure that is a bad thing. May the 4th be with you. ⚾️

There is usually so much celebration this time of year. We are officially halfway to the summer solstice, but the magic of spring isn’t quite the same. My husband and I are busy planning a garden we weren’t originally wanting to do this summer. Life has changed and it is continuing to change so fast. How has your life been altered by the #virus? .

With everything going on in the world right now, it’s pretty scary to be a small business. It’s even scarier to have a loved one on the front lines as a doctor, nurse, EMT, or other first responder. I’m so thankful for these heroes and for the sacrifices their families are making during these trying times. I'm also thankful for my clients that are so dedicated and still working to keep the economy moving. Humans are amazing. 🖤

⚠️ Partnerships and S Corporations ⚠️ Income tax returns for these entities are due today –- but let’s be honest -- with no taxes due on these returns, it’s just the deadline to file your extension. Penalties on late filing of these returns are outrageous, so make sure you have all your loose ends tied up. .

Until the 1700s pi was known as, “the quantity which when the diameter is multiplied by it, yields the circumference”. Them mathematicians sure shorted that down, hu?

Mae was the first black woman to travel into space, but there is so much more to her story. She's been an astronaut, engineer, physician, author, philanthropist, entrepreneur, and even an actress. A true role model to every man and woman. I wonder how she does it all?

Janet Yellen was the first female head of the Federal Reserve.
Do you think this quote holds true after what we have been through in the US over the past decade +? Were workers able to recover from that period of unemployment during the recession? Most of the guys I knew back then that were scrapping to get by, are back to work now. But there is no doubt that great potential was lost in the process. 📈

"POOR MARCH
It is the HOMELIEST month of the year. Most of it is MUD, Every Imaginable Form of MUD, and what isn't MUD in March is ugly late-season SNOW falling onto the ground in filthy muddy heaps that look like PILES of DIRTY LAUNDRY.” -- Vivian Swift .
Vivian had some thoughts and feels on the month of March. Is there a month that triggers you?

Michigan business owners -- If you are still mailing in a paper versions of Form 5081, it is time to stop that. Register on Michigan Treasury Online (MTO). Michigan Department of Treasury's online system that allows you to file reports, make payments, view letters sent to the business by the treasury, and even download your sales tax license. I've had business owners come into my office with a small issue that was taking months to resolve with the treasury. Once I link their business to my MTO account, I can usually see exactly what is going on. In a lot of situations, I can fix it right then. It's a great resource!
