    Podcast Summary

    • Entering name correctly and taking breaks are importantStart by entering name correctly, track business expenses, take breaks, and consider amortizing tax preference items for accurate tax filing

      Filing taxes can be a complex and sometimes confusing process, but it's important to remember the little details that can make a big difference. When filling out your tax form, be sure to start by entering your name correctly, and take breaks when needed. For deductions, keep track of business expenses, such as a business dinner being referred to as "business lasagna." Remember, the IRS doesn't need to know about your work-from-home attire or Netflix password usage if they're dependents. Additionally, consider electing to amortize certain tax preference items over a longer period. While the specifics of tax laws and regulations may be unclear, the ultimate goal is to pay for the government services we rely on. Good luck with your taxes! (Note: The producer's comment about being audited was added for humor and does not reflect actual tax advice.)

    Prepping for Tax Time with Jenni Laarman

    Prepping for Tax Time with Jenni Laarman

    Today we are talking with Jenni Laarman, “aka Not Your Average Bookkeeping Coach”. Jenni earned her MBA and spent a little over a decade as a public accountant/financial analyst helping large and small businesses understand their numbers. After leaving the corporate world she hopped on the entrepreneur roller coaster. From direct sales (3 different companies) to writing a book, and dabbling in blogging. Jenni has finally settled into her true passion - embracing the numbers nerd she is. She is now the person small business owners turn to when they want to simplify their bookkeeping and understand their numbers to hit business goals without stress and headaches. Today Jenni is going to help us know what we need when it comes to your business and bookkeeping.  Let’s get started!

    In today’s episode, we talk about:

    • As a Direct Seller it's important to keep track of all the numbers.  If not when you get to the end of the year, you won’t remember what happened in January and you won’t be able to accurately report what you made and spent.
    • What should you be tracking?
    • When do you have to report your profit? At $600 most companies give you a 1099. However, you are considered self-employed and $400 is the minimum that needs to be reported per the IRS. 
    • During your first year you may file “a loss”, due to all the expenses. Not fun to think about but that does benefit you from a tax perspective.  From year one start reporting it.
    • Bonus trips - Do you report these? It depends on the type of trip.  Is it all fun (trip for pleasure) or will you be attending seminars while on the trip?
    • What is profit?
    • It’s so important to keep track of your numbers.
    • Wealth and Worth Members get a Wealth Tracker which is a great tool! (www.rachelaperry.com/wealth)
    • What can people do now to get ready for tax season?

    Judy Trepeck on How to Think Beyond Accounting

    With Steven Sacks


     


    The NEW Fundamentals


     


    Armed with the latest technologies, accountants can do more than ever – faster, better, and cheaper.


     


    But too many accountants are missing the biggest opportunity that technology creates, according to Judy Trepeck, long a leading figure in the profession.


     


    In her conversation with Steven Sacks, Trepeck, currently senior vice president for customized training at the Michigan state CPA society, outlines how CPAs can go beyond basic accounting to provide more value-added services. It requires experience, talent, ambition, and, maybe most of all, intuition.


     


    Trepeck provides a framework for any accountant to ad advisory services to their menu of offerings.
