Nonprofits and insurance: Getting it just right | accounting firm in cecil county md | Weyrich, Cronin & Sorra

Nonprofits and insurance: Getting it just right

Whether you’re starting up a not-for-profit organization or your nonprofit has existed for years, you may have questions about insurance. For starters: What kind do you need? How much? Are you required by your state or by grantmakers to carry certain coverage?

Much depends on your organization’s size, scope and programming. But your goal should be to carry what’s required to meet any regulatory or funding mandates and to address legitimate risks. Although there are many types of insurance available to nonprofits, it’s unlikely you need all of them.

The essentials

One type of insurance you do need is a general liability policy for accidents and injuries suffered on your property by clients, volunteers, suppliers, visitors and anyone other than employees. Your state also likely mandates unemployment insurance as well as workers’ compensation coverage.

Property insurance that covers theft and damage to your buildings, furniture, fixtures, supplies and other physical assets is essential, too. When buying a property insurance policy, make sure it covers the replacement cost of assets, rather than their current market value (which is likely to be much lower).

Depending on your nonprofit’s operations and assets, you might want to consider such optional policies as automobile, product liability, fraud/employee dishonesty, business interruption, umbrella coverage, and directors and officers liability. Insurance also is available to cover risks associated with special events. Before purchasing a separate policy, however, check whether your nonprofit’s general liability insurance extends to special events.

Biggest threats

Because you’re likely to be working with a limited budget, prioritize the risks that pose the greatest threats. Then discuss with your financial and insurance advisors the kinds — and amounts — of coverage that will mitigate those risks.

Be careful you don’t assume insurance alone will address your nonprofit’s exposure. Your objective should be to never actually need insurance benefits. To that end, put in place internal controls and other risk-avoidance policies such as new employee orientations and ongoing training.

Don’t go overboard

Some organizations buy more insurance coverage than they need, which can be costly. So make sure you’ve thoroughly analyzed your nonprofit’s risks and buy only what’s necessary to protect people and assets. We can help you decide what insurance you need — and what you probably don’t.

Questions you may still have after filing your tax return | quickbooks consulting in hunt valley md | Weyrich, Cronin & Sorra

Questions you may still have after filing your tax return

If you’ve successfully filed your 2022 tax return with the IRS, you may think you’re done with taxes for another year. But some questions may still crop up about the return. Here are brief answers to three questions that we’re frequently asked at this time of year.

When will your refund arrive?

The IRS has an online tool that can tell you the status of your refund. Go to irs.gov and click on “Get Your Refund Status.” You’ll need your Social Security number, filing status and the exact refund amount.

Which tax records can you throw away now?

At a minimum, keep tax records related to your return for as long as the IRS can audit your return or assess additional taxes. In general, the statute of limitations is three years after you file your return. So you can generally get rid of most records related to tax returns for 2019 and earlier years. (If you filed an extension for your 2019 return, hold on to your records until at least three years from when you filed the extended return.)

However, the statute of limitations extends to six years for taxpayers who understate their gross income by more than 25%.

You should hang on to certain tax-related records longer. For example, keep the actual tax returns indefinitely, so you can prove to the IRS that you filed legitimate returns. (There’s no statute of limitations for an audit if you didn’t file a return or you filed a fraudulent one.)

When it comes to retirement accounts, keep records associated with them until you’ve depleted the account and reported the last withdrawal on your tax return, plus three (or six) years. And retain records related to real estate or investments for as long as you own the asset, plus at least three years after you sell it and report the sale on your tax return. (You can keep these records for six years if you want to be extra safe.)

Can you still collect a refund for a tax credit or deduction if you overlooked claiming it?

In general, you can file an amended tax return and claim a refund within three years after the date you filed your original return or within two years of the date you paid the tax, whichever is later.

However, there are a few opportunities when you have longer to file an amended return. For example, the statute of limitations for bad debts is longer than the usual three-year time limit for most items on your tax return. In general, you can amend your tax return to claim a bad debt for seven years from the due date of the tax return for the year that the debt became worthless.

4 tax challenges you may encounter if you’re retiring soon | quickbooks consulting in elkton md | Weyrich, Cronin & Sorra

4 tax challenges you may encounter if you’re retiring soon

Are you getting ready to retire? If so, you’ll soon experience changes in your lifestyle and income sources that may have numerous tax implications.

Here’s a brief rundown of four tax and financial issues you may contend with when you retire:

Taking required minimum distributions. These are the minimum amounts you must withdraw from your retirement accounts. You generally must start taking withdrawals from your IRA, SEP, SIMPLE and other retirement plan accounts when you reach age 73 if you were age 72 after December 31, 2022. If you reach age 72 in 2023, the required beginning date for your first RMD is April 1, 2025, for 2024. Roth IRAs don’t require withdrawals until after the death of the owner.

You can withdraw more than the minimum required amount. Your withdrawals will be included in your taxable income except for any part that was taxed before or that can be received tax-free (such as qualified distributions from Roth accounts).

Selling your principal residence. Many retirees want to downsize to smaller homes. If you’re one of them and you have a gain from the sale of your principal residence, you may be able to exclude up to $250,000 of that gain from your income. If you file a joint return, you may be able to exclude up to $500,000.

To claim the exclusion, you must meet certain requirements. During a five-year period ending on the date of the sale, you must have owned the home and lived in it as your main home for at least two years.

If you’re thinking of selling your home, make sure you’ve identified all items that should be included in its basis, which can save you tax.

Getting involved in new work activities. After retirement, many people continue to work as consultants or start new businesses. Here are some tax-related questions to ask if you’re launching a new venture:

  • Should it be a sole proprietorship, S corporation, C corporation, partnership or limited liability company?
  • Are you familiar with how to elect to amortize start-up expenditures and make payroll tax deposits?
  • Can you claim home office deductions?
  • How should you finance the business?

Taking Social Security benefits. If you continue to work, it may have an impact on your Social Security benefits. If you retire before reaching full Social Security retirement age (65 years of age for people born before 1938, rising to 67 years of age for people born after 1959) and the sum of your wages plus self-employment income is over the Social Security annual exempt amount ($21,240 for 2023), you must give back $1 of Social Security benefits for each $2 of excess earnings.

If you reach full retirement age this year, your benefits will be reduced $1 for every $3 you earn over a different annual limit ($56,520 in 2023) until the month you reach full retirement age. Then, your earnings will no longer affect the amount of your monthly benefits, no matter how much you earn.

Speaking of Social Security, you may have to pay federal (and possibly state) tax on your benefits. Depending on how much income you have from other sources, you may have to report up to 85% of your benefits as income on your tax return and pay the resulting federal income tax.

Tax planning is still important

As you can see, you may have to make many decisions after you retire. We can help maximize the tax breaks you’re entitled to so you can keep more of your hard-earned money.

Don’t overlook these two essential estate planning strategies | estate planning cpa in baltimore county md | Weyrich, Cronin & Sorra

Don’t overlook these two essential estate planning strategies

When it comes to estate planning, there’s no shortage of techniques and strategies available to reduce your taxable estate and ensure your wishes are carried out after your death. Indeed, the two specific strategies discussed below should be used in many estate plans.

1. Take advantage of the annual gift tax exclusion

Don’t underestimate the tax-saving power of making annual exclusion gifts. For 2023, the exclusion increased by $1,000 to $17,000 per recipient ($34,000 if you split gifts with your spouse).

For example, let’s say Jim and Joan combine their $17,000 annual exclusions for 2023 so that their three children and their children’s spouses, along with their six grandchildren, each receive $34,000. The result is that $408,000 is removed tax-free from the couple’s estates this year ($34,000 x 12).

What if the same amounts were transferred to the recipients upon Jim’s or Joan’s death instead? Their estate would be taxed on the excess over the current federal gift and estate tax exemption ($12.92 million in 2023). If no gift and estate tax exemption or generation skipping transfer (GST) tax exemption was available, the tax hit would be at the current 40% rate. So making annual exclusion gifts could potentially save the family a significant amount in taxes.

2. Use an ILIT to hold life insurance

If you own an insurance policy on your life, be aware that a substantial portion of the proceeds could be lost to estate tax if your estate is over a certain size. The exact amount will depend on the gift and estate tax exemption amount available at your death as well as the applicable estate tax rate.

However, if you don’t own the policy, the proceeds won’t be included in your taxable estate. An effective strategy for keeping life insurance out of your estate is to set up an irrevocable life insurance trust (ILIT).

An ILIT owns one or more policies on your life, and it manages and distributes policy proceeds according to your wishes. You aren’t allowed to retain any powers over the policy, such as the right to change the beneficiary. The trust can be designed so that it can make a loan to your estate for liquidity needs, such as paying estate tax.

The right strategies for you?

Bear in mind that these two popular strategies might not be right for your specific estate plan. We can provide you additional details on each and help you determine if they’re right for you.

6 tried-and-true strategies for improving collections | quickbooks consulting in cecil county md | Weyrich, Cronin & Sorra

6 tried-and-true strategies for improving collections

Businesses that operate in the retail or restaurant spheres have it relatively easy when it comes to collections. They generally take payments right at a point-of-sale terminal and customers go on their merry ways. (These enterprises face many other challenges, of course.)

For other types of companies, it’s not so easy. Collections can be particularly challenging for business-to-business (B2B) operations, which often find themselves in complex relationships with key customers that aren’t quite as simple as “pay up or hit the road.”

If your company is dealing with slow-paying customers, which is hardly uncommon in today’s inflationary environment where everyone is trying to preserve cash flow, sometimes it helps to review the basics. Here are six tried-and-true strategies for increasing your chances of getting paid one way or another:

1. Request payment up front. For new customers or those with a documented history of collections issues, you could start asking for a deposit on each order. This would generally be a small but noticeable percentage of the contract or order price. You could also explore the concept of asking for a service retainer fee. Although these are typically associated with law firms, other types of businesses may use them to cover all or part of the expected costs of services.

2. Charge fees. Most customers are likely familiar with the concept of late-payment fees from dealing with their credit card companies. Applying this same concept to your collections can pay off. Implement fees or finance charges for past due amounts. Place extremely delinquent accounts on credit hold or adjust their payment terms to cash on delivery.

3. Reward timely payments. An effective collections strategy isn’t only about “penalizing” slow-paying customers. It’s also about incentivizing those who pay on time or who represent a potentially lucrative long-term relationship. Crunch the numbers to determine the feasibility of giving discounts to customers with strong payment histories or to those who have improved the timeliness of payments over a given period.

4. Communicate proactively. Set up regular e-mail reminders and place live phone calls to customers who haven’t settled their accounts. If the employee who works directly with the customer can’t resolve payment issues, elevate the matter to a manager or even you, the business owner. In B2B relationships, it’s often helpful for the manager or business owner to contact someone higher up in the customer’s organization. If necessary, consider executing a promissory note to prevent the customer from disputing the charges in the future.

5. Get external help. If, after repeated tries, your collections efforts appear unlikely to bear fruit, you should start looking into getting help from someone outside your company. This typically means engaging either an attorney who specializes in debt collection or a collections agency. View this as a last resort, however, because third-party fees may consume much of the collected amount and you’re unlikely to continue doing business with the customer.

6. Claim a tax break. One last important point about collections: If an outstanding debt is uncollectible, you may be able to write it off as an ordinary business expense. Be sure to document each customer’s promises to pay, your collection efforts and why you believe the debt is worthless. Consult with us about claiming such tax deductions. We can also offer assistance in improving your overall accounts receivable processes.

Have you planned for long-term health care expenses? | cpa in alexandria va | Weyrich, Cronin & Sorra

Have you planned for long-term health care expenses?

No matter how diligently you prepare, your estate plan can quickly be derailed if you or a loved one requires long-term home health care or an extended stay at an assisted living facility or nursing home. Long-term care (LTC) expenses aren’t covered by traditional health insurance policies or Medicare. So it’s important to have a plan to finance these costs, either by setting aside some of your savings or purchasing insurance. Let’s take a closer look at three options.

1) LTC insurance

An LTC insurance policy supplements your traditional health insurance by covering services that assist you or a loved one with one or more activities of daily living (ADLs). Generally, ADLs include eating, bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring (getting in and out of a bed or chair) and maintaining continence.

LTC coverage is relatively expensive, but it may be possible to reduce the cost by purchasing a tax-qualified policy. Generally, benefits paid in accordance with an LTC policy are tax-free. To qualify, a policy must:

  • Be guaranteed renewable and noncancelable regardless of health,
  • Not delay coverage of pre-existing conditions more than six months,
  • Not condition eligibility on prior hospitalization,
  • Not exclude coverage based on a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or similar conditions or illnesses, and
  • Require a physician’s certification that you’re either unable to perform at least two of six ADLs or you have a severe cognitive impairment and that this condition has lasted or is expected to last at least 90 days.

It’s important to weigh the pros and cons of tax-qualified policies. The primary advantage is the premium tax deduction. But keep in mind that medical expenses are deductible only if you itemize and only to the extent they exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI), so some people may not have enough medical expenses to benefit from this advantage. It’s also important to weigh any potential tax benefits against the advantages of nonqualified policies, which may have less stringent eligibility requirements.

2) Hybrid insurance

Also known as “asset-based” policies, hybrid policies combine LTC benefits with whole life insurance or annuity benefits. These policies have advantages over standalone LTC policies.

For example, their health-based underwriting requirements typically are less stringent and their premiums are usually guaranteed — that is, they won’t increase over time. Most important, LTC benefits, which are tax-free, are funded from the death benefit or annuity value. So, if you never need to use the LTC benefits, those amounts are preserved for your beneficiaries.

3) Employer-provided plans

Employer-provided group LTC insurance plans offer significant advantages over individual policies, including discounted premiums and “guaranteed issue” coverage, which covers eligible employees (and, in some cases, their spouse and dependents) regardless of their health status. Group plans aren’t subject to nondiscrimination rules, so a business can offer employer-paid coverage to a select group of employees.

Employer plans also offer tax advantages. Generally, C corporations that pay LTC premiums for employees can deduct the entire amount as a business expense, even if it exceeds the deduction limit for individuals. And premium payments are excluded from employees’ wages for income and payroll tax purposes.

Think long term

Given the potential magnitude of LTC expenses, the earlier you begin planning, the better. We can help you review your options and analyze the relative benefits and risks.

Avoiding challenges to your estate plan | tax accountant in alexandria va | Weyrich, Cronin & Sorra

Avoiding challenges to your estate plan

A primary goal of estate planning is to ensure that your wishes are carried out after you’re gone. So, it’s important to design your estate plan to withstand potential will contests or other challenges down the road.

The most common grounds for contesting a will are undue influence or lack of testamentary capacity. Other grounds include fraud and invalid execution.

There are no guarantees that your plan will be implemented without challenge, but you can minimize the possibility by taking these actions:

Dot every “i” and cross every “t.” The last thing you want is for someone to contest your will on grounds that it wasn’t executed properly. So be sure to follow applicable state law to the letter. Typically, that means signing your will in front of two witnesses and having your signature notarized. Be aware that the law varies from state to state, and an increasing number of states are permitting electronic wills.

Treat your heirs fairly. One of the most effective ways to avoid a challenge is to ensure that no one has anything to complain about. But satisfying all your family members is easier said than done.

For one thing, treating people equally won’t necessarily be perceived as fair. Suppose, for example, that you have a financially independent 30-year-old child from a previous marriage and a 20-year-old child from your current marriage. If you divide your wealth between them equally, the 20-year-old — who likely needs more financial help — may view your plan as unfair.

Demonstrate your competence if you’re concerned about a challenge. There are many techniques you can use to demonstrate your testamentary capacity and lack of undue influence. Examples include:

  • Have a medical practitioner conduct a mental examination or attest to your competence at or near the time you execute your will.
  • Choose witnesses you expect to be available and willing to attest to your testamentary capacity and freedom from undue influence years or even decades down the road.
  • Videotape the execution of your will. This provides an opportunity to explain the reasoning for any atypical aspects of your estate plan and will help refute claims of undue influence or lack of testamentary capacity.

Consider a no contest clause. Most, but not all, states permit the use of no contest clauses. In a nutshell, it will essentially disinherit any beneficiary who challenges your will or trust.

For this strategy to be effective, you must leave heirs an inheritance that’s large enough that forfeiting it would be a disincentive to bringing a challenge. An heir who receives nothing has nothing to lose by challenging your plan.

Use a living trust. By avoiding probate, a revocable living trust can discourage heirs from challenging your estate plan. That’s because without the court hearing afforded by probate, they’d have to file a lawsuit to challenge your plan.

If your estate plan does anything unusual, it’s critical to communicate the reasons to your family. Indeed, explaining your motives can go a long way toward avoiding misunderstandings or disputes. They may not like it, but it’ll be more difficult for them to contest your will on grounds of undue influence or lack of testamentary capacity if your reasoning is well documented.

Your nonprofit probably won’t be audited by the IRS, but if it is … | tax preparation in baltimore md | Weyrich, Cronin & Sorra

Your nonprofit probably won’t be audited by the IRS, but if it is …

Despite recent accusations that the IRS targets certain types of tax-exempt organizations for audit, not-for-profit audits generally are rare. That’s because most nonprofits owe no or very little tax. However, as the IRS receives funding as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, it’s expected to hire new agents for all divisions, including the Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division. So nonprofit compliance checks and audits potentially could become more common.

What should you do if your nonprofit hears from the IRS?

Initial letter and call

If your organization is chosen, most likely it will be subject to a correspondence (not an in-person) audit. An IRS agent will send you — and, if applicable, anyone with a power of attorney — contact letters via the U.S. Postal Service. The agent will then wait at least 10 business days before making phone contact.

The initial phone call will include discussion of the issue (or issues) being examined, for example, an incomplete Form 990 or a complaint the IRS received about your nonprofit. The agent will ask you to provide items listed on an Information Document Request (IDR), such as:

  • Filed Form 990s and other tax documents,
  • Payroll tax records,
  • Records of transactions with donors or business partners, and
  • Unrelated business income documents.

The phone discussion may lead the IRS auditor to modify the IDR before sending it to you. If the request seeks more than one item, the auditor will group the items on a single IDR.

Communicate and meet deadlines

Before the auditor sends the IDR, you and the auditor should agree on the deadline for your response. If you can’t agree on a date, the auditor will assign one.

The IDR also will identify the date that the auditor plans to review your responses for completeness. Deliver everything by the deadline. If the auditor determines your response is complete, you’ll be informed by phone. If, on the other hand, the auditor decides your response isn’t complete — or if you didn’t respond — you might be granted one or more extensions to comply.

If upon reviewing the IDR documents, the IRS decides you’re in compliance, the agent will contact you via phone and mail you a closing letter. Otherwise, the auditor will propose a tax adjustment, tax status change or even a revocation of tax-exempt status. If you agree to the proposal, you can typically close your case by fulfilling any requirements. Or you can request an appeal with the IRS or via the court system.

Get help if you need it

If your nonprofit is audited, comply with all requests on time and remain calm and professional when talking with IRS agents. If you need assistance communicating with the agency or assembling information and documentation, we can help. Or contact us with your questions about best practices for avoiding an IRS audit.

The tax advantages of hiring your child this summer | tax preparation in baltimore county md | Weyrich, Cronin & Sorra

The tax advantages of hiring your child this summer

Summer is around the corner so you may be thinking about hiring young people at your small business. At the same time, you may have children looking to earn extra spending money. You can save family income and payroll taxes by putting your child on the payroll. It’s a win-win!

Here are four tax advantages.

1. Shifting business earnings

You can turn some of your high-taxed income into tax-free or low-taxed income by shifting some business earnings to a child as wages for services performed. In order for your business to deduct the wages as a business expense, the work done by the child must be legitimate and the child’s salary must be reasonable.

For example, suppose you’re a sole proprietor in the 37% tax bracket. You hire your 16-year-old son to help with office work full-time in the summer and part-time in the fall. He earns $10,000 during the year (and doesn’t have other earnings). You can save $3,700 (37% of $10,000) in income taxes at no tax cost to your son, who can use his $13,850 standard deduction for 2023 to shelter his earnings.

Family taxes are cut even if your son’s earnings exceed his standard deduction. That’s because the unsheltered earnings will be taxed to him beginning at a 10% rate, instead of being taxed at your higher rate.

2. Claiming income tax withholding exemption

Your business likely will have to withhold federal income taxes on your child’s wages. Usually, an employee can claim exempt status if he or she had no federal income tax liability for last year and expects to have none this year.

However, exemption from withholding can’t be claimed if: 1) the employee’s income exceeds $1,250 for 2023 (and includes more than $400 of unearned income), and 2) the employee can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return.

Keep in mind that your child probably will get a refund for part or all of the withheld tax when filing a return for the year.

3. Saving Social Security tax

If your business isn’t incorporated, you can also save some Social Security tax by shifting some of your earnings to your child. That’s because services performed by a child under age 18 while employed by a parent aren’t considered employment for FICA tax purposes.

A similar but more liberal exemption applies for FUTA (unemployment) tax, which exempts earnings paid to a child under age 21 employed by a parent. The FICA and FUTA exemptions also apply if a child is employed by a partnership consisting only of his or her parents.

Note: There’s no FICA or FUTA exemption for employing a child if your business is incorporated or is a partnership that includes non-parent partners. However, there’s no extra cost to your business if you’re paying a child for work you’d pay someone else to do.

4. Saving for retirement

Your business also may be able to provide your child with retirement savings, depending on your plan and how it defines qualifying employees. For example, if you have a SEP plan, a contribution can be made for the child up to 25% of his or her earnings (not to exceed $66,000 for 2023).

Contact us if you have any questions about these rules in your situation. Keep in mind that some of the rules about employing children may change from year to year and may require your income-shifting strategies to change too.

Retirement saving options for your small business: Keep it simple | business consulting firms in dc | Weyrich, Cronin & Sorra

Retirement saving options for your small business: Keep it simple

If you’re thinking about setting up a retirement plan for yourself and your employees, but you’re worried about the financial commitment and administrative burdens involved, there are a couple of options to consider. Let’s take a look at a “simplified employee pension” (SEP) or a “savings incentive match plan for employees” (SIMPLE).

SEPs are intended as an attractive alternative to “qualified” retirement plans, particularly for small businesses. The features that are appealing include the relative ease of administration and the discretion that you, as the employer, are permitted in deciding whether or not to make annual contributions.

SEP involves easy setup

If you don’t already have a qualified retirement plan, you can set up a SEP simply by using the IRS model SEP, Form 5305-SEP. By adopting and implementing this model SEP, which doesn’t have to be filed with the IRS, you’ll have satisfied the SEP requirements. This means that as the employer, you’ll get a current income tax deduction for contributions you make on behalf of your employees. Your employees won’t be taxed when the contributions are made but will be taxed later when distributions are made, usually at retirement. Depending on your needs, an individually-designed SEP — instead of the model SEP — may be appropriate for you.

When you set up a SEP for yourself and your employees, you’ll make deductible contributions to each employee’s IRA, called a SEP-IRA, which must be IRS-approved. The maximum amount of deductible contributions that you can make to an employee’s SEP-IRA, and that he or she can exclude from income, is the lesser of: 25% of compensation and $66,000 for 2023. The deduction for your contributions to employees’ SEP-IRAs isn’t limited by the deduction ceiling applicable to an individual’s own contribution to a regular IRA. Your employees control their individual IRAs and IRA investments, the earnings on which are tax-free.

There are other requirements you’ll have to meet to be eligible to set up a SEP. Essentially, all regular employees must elect to participate in the program, and contributions can’t discriminate in favor of the highly compensated employees. But these requirements are minor compared to the bookkeeping and other administrative burdens connected with traditional qualified pension and profit-sharing plans.

The detailed records that traditional plans must maintain to comply with the complex nondiscrimination regulations aren’t required for SEPs. And employers aren’t required to file annual reports with IRS, which, for a pension plan, could require the services of an actuary. The required recordkeeping can be done by a trustee of the SEP-IRAs — usually a bank or mutual fund.

SIMPLE Plans

Another option for a business with 100 or fewer employees is a “savings incentive match plan for employees” (SIMPLE). Under these plans, a “SIMPLE IRA” is established for each eligible employee, with the employer making matching contributions based on contributions elected by participating employees under a qualified salary reduction arrangement. The SIMPLE plan is also subject to much less stringent requirements than traditional qualified retirement plans. Or, an employer can adopt a “simple” 401(k) plan, with similar features to a SIMPLE plan, and automatic passage of the otherwise complex nondiscrimination test for 401(k) plans.

For 2023, SIMPLE deferrals are up to $15,500 plus an additional $3,500 catch-up contributions for employees ages 50 and older.
