\nIRS Commissioner for Small Business and Self-employed Division, Faris Fink said, \u201cWhen you\u2019re running a business, you don\u2019t need to be a tax expert, too. \u00a0But you do need some basics to stay tax compliant so your business can thrive. \u00a0There are many tax credits and deductions currently available. So now is a good time to learn about the tools and services the IRS offers.\u201d
\nTwo tax benefits specifically applicable to small business owners are the small business health care tax credit and the faster write-offs on certain capital expenditures.
\nThe small business healthcare tax credit allows small business owners and small tax-exempt organizations provide health care insurance coverage to their workers for the first time or maintain the coverage that already exists. \u00a0This is specifically for lower and moderate income workers. \u00a0If you require more information on this tax benefit, go to the Affordable Care Act<\/span><\/a> page on the IRS website, www.irs.gov.
\nDid you know that there is another way to write off the cost of your capital expenses other than depreciation over a few years? \u00a0This provision is given to small business owners who purchase new equipment and property for their business. \u00a0You are allowed to make deductions on the cost of most or all of these purchases in your 2011 tax returns. \u00a0Use Form 4562 to make your claims. \u00a0Special rules and limitations apply. \u00a0Go to the IRS website page on Instructions to Form 4562<\/span><\/a>, Publication 946<\/span><\/a> and Revenue Procedure 2011-26<\/span><\/a> for more details.
\nThe Small Business Tax Center is found on the IRS website at http:\/\/www.irs.gov\/smallbiz and has resources and information on what the IRS offers to small business owners like the Virtual Small Business Tax Workshop, a downloadable tax calendar, common forms and their instructions and help on everything from how to get an Employer Identification Number (EIN) online to how to deal with the IRS if your business becomes the subject of an audit.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
