Repair Regulations Part I

Posted on June 11, 2014 by Leasa Magnuson in Business Tax

The IRS strikes again! In September 2013 the IRS came out with new regulations on materials & supplies, repairs and maintenance and capital expenditures.

Posted on March 20, 2013 by Leasa Magnuson in Individual Tax

I was recently asked how to know if estimated tax payments are necessary.  Let’s start with a simple explanation of what estimated tax payments are.  The IRS likes to receive money on a regular basis and therefore if you wait to pay them a large chunk until April, chances are you will owe them a […]

“Where’s My Refund” Funny

Posted on February 18, 2013 by Leasa Magnuson in Individual Tax

Maybe it’s my quirky sense of humor but I find it funny that they IRS has posted an alert on its website telling taxpayers to please limit use of the “Where’s My Refund” Tool.  First Tax season was delayed until January 30th so taxpayers had to wait longer to file their return and now taxpayers […]

2012 Tax Year to Have More Extensions

Posted on January 23, 2013 by Leasa Magnuson in Business Tax, Individual Tax

I believe that the 2012 tax year will have more extensions than normal.  First the IRS has delayed the start of the tax year until January 30th.  Second W2s are late from Paychex and ADP because of the new rules regarding the reporting of health insurance.  So even if I wanted to file individuals today […]

Fiscal Cliff Aversion

Posted on January 7, 2013 by Leasa Magnuson in Business Tax, Individual Tax

The following are what I like to think are the highlights in the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.  In no way are the all-inclusive, they are just the items that I think will be most useful for my clients. In the months leading up to the fiscal cliff if you asked me what I […]

Reminders About Filing W2s

Posted on December 31, 2012 by Leasa Magnuson in Business Tax

As the new year begins I thought it might be helpful to keep the following procedures in mind when preparing your W2s and W3. Form W-3 is the total of all Forms W-2. The sum of line 2 for the four quarters on Form 941 should balance to the amount appearing in Box 1 of […]
