2022 Tax Filing Tips and Deadlines for Business Owners

Tax time is when business owners often look for deductions to help save money. But, preparing for tax season should start at the beginning of the New Year to implement necessary actions to take advantage of credits and deductions during that tax year. Below is a list of Tax Filing Tips and Deadlines business owners should note.

Tax planning is more than just saving receipts and includes working with a tax professional to help business owners understand what deductions they may take. As business owners prepare for tax season, here are a few often overlooked 2022 tax year deductions businesses may qualify for:

Carry forward the health credit

• The healthcare tax credit is offered on a sliding scale to businesses that employ fewer than ten full-time employees with average wages under $25,000 per person. To claim the health credit, use form 8941 to calculate eligibility.

Deduct section 179 property

• Small businesses can deduct the total amount of specific property as expenses in the year they started using them. Section 179 property can include up to $1,080,000 of eligible business property in the 2022 tax year. Some eligible deductions include:
• Property used in manufacturing, transportation, and production
• Any type of facility used for business or research
• Buildings used to hold livestock or horticultural products
• Off-the-shelf computer software

Deduct applicable stock contributions given to charity

• A business can deduct the value of the stock at the time of the gift versus the stock’s purchase value. Donating stock instead of money may provide a more significant deduction since the value of a cash donation remains the same and may not offer a deduction in the tax year given, depending on tax rules. A tax professional can help determine how donating company stock may save the business money at tax time.
