FAQs: Your Tax Planning Questions Answered
Have questions? We have clear, concise answers. Our FAQ section addresses common queries about our tax planning and preparation services, helping you understand the benefits of partnering with Main Street CFO's.
Q: How much should a small business save for taxes?
A: It's important for small business operators to understand that they are responsible for both income tax and self-employment tax. To ensure they can meet their tax obligations without issue, it's often recommended that small businesses allocate approximately 30% of their net income, after taking deductions into account, for the purpose of settling federal and state tax liabilities.
Regardless, it's very important to have a professional review your current situation to give you an estimate that keeps you compliant and keeps the IRS off your back.
Q: What if I can't pay my full tax bill on time?
A: File Your Tax Return on Time: Even if you can't pay the full amount, it's crucial to file your tax return by the due date to avoid a failure-to-file penalty. The penalty for not filing is generally more than the penalty for not paying the full amount owed.
Pay as Much as You Can: Paying any amount towards your tax bill will reduce the overall interest and penalties you will owe for late payment.
Explore Payment Options:
Short-Term Payment Plan: If you believe you can pay your full tax bill within 120 days, consider applying for a short-term payment plan. There's no setup fee for this plan.
Long-Term Payment Plan (Installment Agreement): If you need more than 120 days, you might qualify for a long-term payment plan or installment agreement. There may be setup fees associated with this plan, but lower fees are available for direct debit agreements and for those who qualify based on their income level.
Offer in Compromise: In some cases, you may qualify for an Offer in Compromise. This is an agreement between you and the IRS that settles your tax liabilities for less than the full amount owed. Eligibility depends on several factors, including your ability to pay, income, expenses, and asset equity.
Temporary Delay of Collection: If the IRS determines you're unable to pay any of your tax debt due to financial hardship, they may temporarily delay collection until your financial condition improves.
Q: What does filing an extension for me?
ButtonAnswer: Filing an extension for your tax return allows you additional time to prepare and file your tax return without incurring the failure-to-file penalty. However, it's important to note that an extension to file is not an extension to pay any taxes you owe
