Bartering is a taxable transaction even if no cash is exchanged

If your small business is strapped for cash (or likes to save money), you may find it beneficial to barter for goods and services. Bartering isn’t new, but the internet has made it easier. However, if your business barters, be aware that the fair market value of goods you receive is taxable income. And if you exchange services with another business, the transaction results in taxable income for both parties. Some businesses join barter clubs that facilitate barter exchanges. If you join one, you’ll be asked to provide your Social Security number or Employer Identification Number. You may receive a form that reports barter transactions. Contact us if you’d like assistance or more information.

Beware of a stealth tax on Social Security benefits

Some people mistakenly think that Social Security benefits are free from federal income tax. Unfortunately, that’s often not the case. Depending on how much “provisional income” you have, some benefits could be hit with federal tax. Provisional income is your adjusted gross income with some additional calculations. For example, if your provisional income is above $44,000, and you file jointly with your spouse, you must report up to 85% of your Social Security benefits as income on Form 1040. If you don’t file a joint return and your provisional income is above $34,000, you generally must report up to 85% of your Social Security benefits as income. We can calculate any tax on your benefits.

Maximize the QBI deduction before it’s gone

The qualified business income (QBI) deduction is available to eligible businesses through 2025. After that, it’s scheduled to disappear unless Congress acts to extend it. So make the most of the tax break while it’s still on the books. The QBI deduction can be up to 20% of: 1) QBI earned from a sole proprietorship or single-member LLC that’s treated as a sole proprietorship for tax purposes, plus 2) QBI from a pass-through partnership, LLC that’s treated as a partnership or S corporation. QBI is defined as qualified income and gains, reduced by certain items including deductible contributions to certain retirement plans and the deduction for 50% of self-employment tax. Questions? Contact us.
