You first need to decide whether you need professional tax assistance. This professional would help keep your business’ taxes in order, plus help you plan ahead so that you can benefit from the most deductions.

Common tax savings

Luckily, there are some tax rules that will allow you to save money for your business. For example:

  • You could contribute to retirement plans
    Profitable businesses can put some of their income into a retirement plan. Doing so can lead to tax deductions and a deferment for taxing earnings. Not only can setting up retirement plans gain you tax breaks, but it can also lead to employee loyalty. You can find out more information about retirement plans at www.irs.gov.
  • Properly structure your business
    Businesses typically keep the same structure they began with for as long as they run; however, this isn’t always a good thing. Sometimes structuring your business one way over another can work in your advantage and save you money.
  • Employee benefits vs. raises
    If you increase the benefits you extend to your employees (i.e. health insurance) both you and your employee could save money in the end. By giving your employee a salary raise, they will have to pay you their portion of FICA, Medicare and most likely unemployment taxes; however, by paying more toward health insurance, your employees avoid having to pay certain taxes.

Here’s a list of more small business tax deductions.

Starting and running a successful business takes hard work and planning. Contact MaxFilings and we can help you. In addition, our website provides helpful information on our Knowledge Center about business incorporation and practices.
