Year-End Business Tax Preparation



There is still time to implement a tax deduction strategy before the tax year officially ends. While West to East Business Solutions is not a CPA firm, we strongly recommend setting up a meeting with your tax accountant to review your tax strategies. Tax accountants keep up with law changes and understand the intricacies of tax deductions, providing you with a sense of reassurance.

At West to East Business Solutions, however, we can help you correctly record all the deductions on your financial statements to ensure a smooth tax season. 

Here is a list of deductions to investigate 

Employees

  • Employer tax credit through retirement plans 
  • Employee-related federal tax credits, such as disability credits
  • Year-end bonuses 
  • Health coverage 
  • Payroll and contactor payments – prepare W-2s and 1099-NECs 

Clients

  • Consider postponing billing customers, clients, or patients until after December 31, 2024. This strategy, applicable to cash-basis accounting, can effectively reduce your taxable income for the current year.
  • Review outstanding accounts receivables 
  • Collection services or attorney fees are tax-deductible 

Equipment

  • Do you need to repair, replace, or add to your existing equipment? A 60% bonus appreciation is still in place for 2024. It will reduce to 40% in 2025. 
  • Using a business credit card can be advantageous when purchasing equipment for your business. You can deduct the expense from the date the charge appears on your card.
  • Ask your CPA about bonus depreciation and EV tax credit for 2024.  

Building

  • Prepaying 2025 rent by sending the check on December 31, 2024, so you can take the deduction for 2024 if you need it.  
  • Energy efficiency tax credits: For example, adding solar panels or tint to your windows might qualify you for a tax credit.  
  • If you are building energy-efficient structures for others, it can also give you federal credit. 

Operations

  • Professional fees, such as tax accountant or legal services.  
  • Marketing – 100% deductible, including AI 
  • Rent 
  • Research and Development (R&D) 
  • Insurance 
  • Travel expenses – set per diam rates 
  • Meals – 50% deductible 
  • Inventory 
  • Interest expense 
  • Charity contributions 
  • Excess business loss limitations – keep track of your operating losses 
  • Qualified Business Income (QBI) deductions
