Tax Deductions Question
 

ok here is my question a friend of mine in the biz asked me. I was going to call my accountant and ask him the question but his office is closed and I really want to know myself as well.

what if your deducations are actually more than the 30% required to pay in taxes in the total amount of income your business generated throughout the year?. does he re-funded the difference? or what is it just lost income?

you telling me there is no tax guru's here what does no one here pay thier taxes or something?!?!

I think your question is phrased in such a retarded way that nobody can understand it.. uhhh 30%, huh?

we can all answer tax questions, we just don't understand jibberish

I think you are asking: "what happens if I manage to wiggle around and actually show a loss on my taxes" The answer is: you don't pay taxes because there is no profit, and you can carry forward any excess losses into next years taxes, and in fact you can carry forward most types of losses for up to 5 years.

However, you should see a tax attorney/accountant to get this straight.

I will answer this question for 30% of your income.

he said he had an accountant already

Just to clarify: You do know the deductions do not come out of the "30%", but rather offset your income. If there's a positive remainder and you're in the 30% tax bracket, then you'll pay 30% of that. If there's a negative remainder, then you carry forth the loss to subsequent years.

Keep in mind it is entirely possible to pay zero income tax but lots of Self Employment tax. SE Tax can end up being several times more than the actual income tax...depending on how you work it.

I'm guessing that this is either refunded or "rolled over" to the next tax year. What's your guys' take?

get an accountant

Speaking of taxes.. I started mine and living in the great state of NY we now have Internet Use Tax. Yippie NOT

I was wondering if any other state has this BS tax to?

Thanks ;-)

It depends on if the write offs are biz or personal.

And how much he can take as a loss

yea he needs 24/7 one :glugglug
