Tax Tip of the Week
Hotep G&G Readers,
On New Year's Day 2013, Congress finally passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, loaded with tax changes for both 2012 and 2013. For businesses, there is some "relief" from taxes but also some increases. Here are a few highlights of the changes:
1) Social Security and Self Employment taxes are going up. The 2% reduction in the payroll tax from 2012 has been rescinded. Starting 2013, employees will pay the full 6.2% Social Security tax, and self-employed individuals will pay the full 15.3% Self Employment tax, up to a new maximum of $113,700.
2) Medicare tax surcharge. 2013 brings a new 0.9% Medicare tax surcharge on individuals making over $200,000 ($250,000 for married couples). The surcharge applies to your entire income, not just to the amount in excess of $200,000 or $250,000.
3) A few tax savings: For 2013, the standard mileage allowance increased 1¢, from 55½¢ to 56½¢. The 50% bonus depreciation has been extended through 2013. Maximum first-year write off of assets was reinstated at $500,000 for both 2012 and 2013. You can now pay your kids up to $6,100 a year tax-free to work in your business (and still get a tax write-off). Maximum contributions to most tax-deferred retirement plans are increasing for 2013.
For more 2013 Tax Updates, stay tuned for more details of an upcoming G&G Associates live Tax Update webinar in a couple weeks.
