Advantages of keeping your business separate from its real estate | cpa in elkton md | Weyrich, Cronin & Sorra

Advantages of keeping your business separate from its real estate

Does your business require real estate for its operations? Or do you hold property titled under your business’s name? It might be worth reconsidering this strategy. With long-term tax, liability and estate planning advantages, separating real estate ownership from the business may be a wise choice.

How taxes affect a sale

Businesses that are formed as C corporations treat real estate assets as they do equipment, inventory and other business assets. Any expenses related to owning the assets appear as ordinary expenses on their income statements and are generally tax deductible in the year they’re incurred.

However, when the business sells the real estate, the profits are taxed twice — at the corporate level and at the owner’s individual level when a distribution is made. Double taxation is avoidable, though. If ownership of the real estate is transferred to a pass-through entity instead, the profit upon sale will be taxed only at the individual level.

Safeguarding assets

Separating your business ownership from its real estate also provides an effective way to protect the real estate from creditors and other claimants. For example, if your business is sued and found liable, a plaintiff may go after all of its assets, including real estate held in its name. But plaintiffs can’t touch property owned by another entity.

The strategy also can pay off if your business is forced to file for bankruptcy. Creditors generally can’t recover real estate owned separately unless it’s been pledged as collateral for credit taken out by the business.

Estate planning implications

Separating real estate from a business may give you some estate planning options, too. For example, if the company is a family business but all members of the next generation aren’t interested in actively participating, separating property gives you an extra asset to distribute. You could bequest the business to one member and the real estate to another.

Handling the transaction

If you’re interested in this strategy, the business can transfer ownership of the real estate and then the transferee can lease it back to the company. Who should own the real estate? One option: The business owner can purchase the real estate from the business and hold title in his or her name. One concern though, is that it’s not only the property that’ll transfer to the owner but also any liabilities related to it.

In addition, any liability related to the property itself may inadvertently put the business at risk. If, for example, a client suffers an injury on the property and a lawsuit ensues, the property owner’s other assets (including the interest in the business) could be in jeopardy.

An alternative is to transfer the property to a separate legal entity formed to hold the title, typically a limited liability company (LLC) or limited liability partnership (LLP). With a pass-through structure, any expenses related to the real estate will flow through to your individual tax return and offset the rental income.

An LLC is more commonly used to transfer real estate. It’s simple to set up and requires only one member. LLPs require at least two partners and aren’t permitted in every state. Some states restrict them to certain types of businesses and impose other restrictions.

Tread carefully

It isn’t always advisable to separate the ownership of a business from its real estate. If it’s a valuable move, the right approach will depend on your individual circumstances.

How your business can prepare for and respond to an IRS audit | tax preparation in harford county md | Weyrich, Cronin & Sorra

How your business can prepare for and respond to an IRS audit

The IRS has been increasing its audit efforts, focusing on large businesses and high-income individuals. By 2026, it plans to nearly triple its audit rates for large corporations with assets exceeding $250 million. Under these plans, partnerships with assets over $10 million will also see audit rates increase tenfold by 2026. This ramp-up in audits is part of the IRS’s broader strategy, funded by the Inflation Reduction Act, to target wealthier entities and high-dollar noncompliance.

The IRS doesn’t plan to increase audits for individuals making less than $400,000 annually. Small businesses are also unlikely to see a rise in audit rates in the near future, as the IRS is prioritizing more complex returns for higher-wealth entities. For example, the tax agency has announced that one focus area is taxpayers who personally use business aircraft. A business can deduct the cost of purchasing and using corporate planes, but personal trips, including vacation travel, aren’t deductible.

Preparation is key

The best way to survive an IRS audit is to prepare in advance. On an ongoing basis, you should systematically maintain documentation — invoices, bills, canceled checks, receipts, or other proof — for all items to be reported on your tax returns. Keep all records in one place.

It also helps to know what might catch the attention of the IRS. Certain types of tax return entries are known to involve inaccuracies, so they may lead to an audit. Some examples include:

  • Significant inconsistencies between tax returns filed in the past and your most current return,
  • Gross profit margin or expenses markedly different from those of other businesses in your industry, and
  • Miscalculated or unusually high deductions.

The IRS may question specific deductions because there are strict recordkeeping requirements associated with them — for example, auto and travel expense deductions. In addition, an owner-employee’s salary that’s much higher or lower than those at similar companies in his or her location may catch the IRS’s eye, especially if the business is structured as a corporation.

How to respond to an audit

If the IRS selects you for an audit, it will notify you by letter. Generally, the IRS doesn’t make initial contact by phone. But if there’s no response to the letter, the agency may follow up with a call.

Many audits simply request that you mail in receipts or other documentation to support certain deductions you’ve claimed. Only the strictest version, the field audit, requires a meeting with one or more IRS auditors. (Note: Ignore unsolicited emails or text messages about an audit. The IRS doesn’t contact people in this manner. These are scams.)

The tax agency doesn’t demand an immediate response to a mailed notice. The IRS will inform you of the discrepancies in question and give you time to prepare. Collect and organize all relevant income and expense records. If anything is missing, you’ll have to reconstruct the information as accurately as possible based on other documentation.

If you’re audited, our firm can help you:

  • Understand what the IRS is disputing (it’s not always clear),
  • Gather the specific documents and information needed, and
  • Respond to the auditor’s inquiries in the most effective manner.

The IRS usually has three years to conduct an audit, and it probably won’t begin until a year or more after you file a return. Stay calm if the IRS contacts you. Many audits are routine. By taking a meticulous, proactive approach to tracking, documenting and filing your company’s tax-related information, you’ll make an audit more manageable. It may even decrease the chances you’ll be chosen in the first place.

How can you build a golden nest egg if you’re self-employed? | estate planning cpa in hunt valley md | Weyrich, Cronin & Sorra

How can you build a golden nest egg if you’re self-employed?

If you own a small business with no employees (other than your spouse) and want to set up a retirement plan, consider a solo 401(k) plan. This is also an option for self-employed individuals or business owners who wish to upgrade from a SIMPLE IRA or Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plan.

A solo 401(k), also known as an individual 401(k), may offer advantages in terms of contributions, tax savings and investment options. These accounts are geared toward self-employed individuals, including sole proprietors, owners of single-member limited liability companies, consultants and other one-person businesses.

How much can you contribute?

You can make large annual tax-deductible contributions to a solo 401(k) plan. For 2024, you can make an “elective deferral contribution” of up to $23,000 of your net self-employment (SE) income to a solo 401(k). The elective deferral contribution limit increases to $30,500 if you’ll be age 50 or older as of December 31, 2024. The larger $30,500 figure includes an extra $7,500 catch-up contribution that’s allowed for older owners.

On top of your elective deferral contribution, an additional contribution of up to 20% of your net SE income is permitted for a solo 401(k). This is called an “employer contribution,” though there’s technically no employer when you’re self-employed. For purposes of calculating the employer contribution, your net SE income isn’t reduced by your elective deferral contribution.

For the 2024 tax year, the combined elective deferral and employer contributions can’t exceed:

  • $69,000 ($76,500 if you’ll be 50 or older as of December 31, 2024), or
  • 100% of your net SE income.

Net SE income equals the net profit shown on Form 1040, Schedule C, E or F for the business, minus the deduction for 50% of self-employment tax attributable to the business.

What are the advantages and disadvantages?

Besides the ability to make significant deductible contributions, another solo 401(k) advantage is that contributions are discretionary. If cash is tight, you can contribute a small amount or nothing.

In addition, you can borrow from your solo 401(k) account, assuming the plan document permits it. The maximum loan amount is 50% of the account balance or $50,000, whichever is less. Some other plan options, including SEPs, don’t allow loans. This feature can be valuable if you need access to funds for business opportunities or emergencies.

The biggest downside to solo 401(k)s is their administrative complexity. Significant upfront paperwork and ongoing administrative efforts are required, including adopting a written plan document and arranging how and when elective deferral contributions will be collected and paid into the owner’s account. Also, once your account balance exceeds $250,000, you must file Form 5500-EZ with the IRS annually.

You can’t have a solo 401(k) if your business has one or more employees. Instead, you must have a multi-participant 401(k) with all the resulting complications. The tax rules may require you to make contributions for those employees. However, there are a few important loopholes. You can contribute to a plan if your spouse is a part-time or full-time employee. You can also exclude employees who are under 21 and part-time employees who haven’t worked at least 1,000 hours during any 12-month period.

Who’s the best candidate for this plan?

For a one-person business, a solo 401(k) can be a smart retirement plan choice if:

  • You want to make large annual deductible contributions and have the money,
  • You have substantial net SE income, and
  • You’re 50 or older and can take advantage of the extra catch-up contribution.

Before establishing a solo 401(k), weigh the pros and cons of other retirement plans — especially if you’re 50 or older. Solo 401(k)s aren’t simple, but they can allow you to make substantial and deductible contributions to a retirement nest egg. Contact us before signing up to determine what’s best for your situation.

Employers: In 2025, the Social Security wage base is going up | business consulting services in cecil county md | weyrich, cronin and sorra

Employers: In 2025, the Social Security wage base is going up

As we approach 2025, changes are coming to the Social Security wage base. The Social Security Administration recently announced that the wage base for computing Social Security tax will increase to $176,100 for 2025 (up from $168,600 for 2024). Wages and self-employment income above this amount aren’t subject to Social Security tax.

If your business has employees, you may need to budget for additional payroll costs, especially if you have many high earners.

Social Security basics

The Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) imposes two taxes on employers, employees and self-employed workers. One is for Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance, which is commonly known as the Social Security tax, and the other is for Hospital Insurance, which is commonly known as the Medicare tax.

A maximum amount of compensation is subject to the Social Security tax, but there’s no maximum for Medicare tax. For 2025, the FICA tax rate for employers will be 7.65% — 6.2% for Social Security and 1.45% for Medicare (the same as in 2024).

Updates for 2025

For 2025, an employee will pay:

  • 6.2% Social Security tax on the first $176,100 of wages (6.2% × $176,100 makes the maximum tax $10,918.20), plus
  • 1.45% Medicare tax on the first $200,000 of wages ($250,000 for joint returns, $125,000 for married taxpayers filing separate returns), plus
  • 2.35% Medicare tax (regular 1.45% Medicare tax plus 0.9% additional Medicare tax) on all wages in excess of $200,000 ($250,000 for joint returns, $125,000 for married taxpayers filing separate returns).

For 2025, the self-employment tax imposed on self-employed people will be:

  • 12.4% Social Security tax on the first $176,100 of self-employment income, for a maximum tax of $21,836.40 (12.4% × $176,100), plus
  • 2.90% Medicare tax on the first $200,000 of self-employment income ($250,000 of combined self-employment income on a joint return, $125,000 on a return of a married individual filing separately), plus
  • 3.8% (2.90% regular Medicare tax plus 0.9% additional Medicare tax) on all self-employment income in excess of $200,000 ($250,000 of combined self-employment income on a joint return, $125,000 for married taxpayers filing separate returns).

History of the wage base

When the government introduced the Social Security payroll tax in 1937, the wage base was $3,000. It remained that amount through 1950. As the U.S. economy grew and wages began to rise, the wage base needed to be adjusted to ensure that the Social Security system continued to collect sufficient revenue. By 1980, it had risen to $25,900. Twenty years later it had increased to $76,200 and by 2020, it was $137,700. Inflation and wage growth were key factors in these adjustments.

Employees with more than one employer

You may have questions about employees who work for your business and have second jobs. Those employees would have taxes withheld from two different employers. Can the employees ask you to stop withholding Social Security tax once they reach the wage base threshold? The answer is no. Each employer must withhold Social Security taxes from an employee’s wages, even if the combined withholding exceeds the maximum amount that can be imposed for the year. Fortunately, the employees will get a credit on their tax returns for any excess withheld.

Looking ahead

Unlock your child’s potential by investing in a 529 plan | tax preparation in cecil county | Weyrich, Cronin & Sorra

Unlock your child’s potential by investing in a 529 plan

If you have a child or grandchild planning to attend college, you’ve probably heard about qualified tuition programs, also known as 529 plans. These plans, named for the Internal Revenue Code section that provides for them, allow prepayment of higher education costs on a tax-favored basis.

There are two types of programs:

  1. Prepaid plans, which allow you to buy tuition credits or certificates at present tuition rates, even though the beneficiary (child) won’t be starting college for some time; and
  2. Savings plans, which depend on the performance of the fund(s) you invest your contributions in.

Earnings build up tax-free

You don’t get a federal income tax deduction for 529 plan contributions, but the account earnings aren’t taxed while the funds are in the program. (Contributors are eligible for state tax deductions in some states.) You can change the beneficiary, or roll over the funds in the program to another plan for the same or a different beneficiary, without income tax consequences.

Distributions from the program are tax-free up to the amount of the student’s “qualified higher education expenses.” These include tuition (up to $10,000 for an elementary or secondary public, private or religious school), fees, books, supplies and required equipment. Reasonable room and board are also qualified expenses if the student is enrolled at least half time.

Tax-free distributions from a 529 plan can also be used to pay the principal or interest on a loan for qualified higher education expenses of the beneficiary or a sibling of the beneficiary.

What about distributions in excess of qualified expenses? They’re taxed to the beneficiary to the extent that they represent earnings on the account. The IRS will also impose a 10% penalty tax.

Your contributions to the qualified tuition program are treated as gifts to the student, but the contributions qualify for the gift tax exclusion ($18,000 in 2024, adjusted annually for inflation). Suppose your contributions in a year exceed the exclusion amount. In that case, you can elect to take the contributions into account ratably over five years starting with the year of the contributions. Thus, assuming you make no other gifts to that beneficiary, you could contribute up to $90,000 per beneficiary in 2024 without gift tax. (In that case, any additional contributions during the next four years would be subject to gift tax, except to the extent that the exclusion amount increases.) You and your spouse together could contribute $180,000 per beneficiary for 2024, subject to any contribution limits imposed by the plan.

Not all schools qualify

Eligible schools include colleges, universities, vocational schools or other postsecondary schools eligible to participate in a student aid program of the U.S. Department of Education. This includes nearly all accredited public, nonprofit and for-profit postsecondary institutions.

However, “qualified higher education expenses” also include expenses for tuition in connection with enrollment or attendance at an elementary or secondary public, private or religious school. A school should be able to tell you whether it qualifies.

Tax-smart education

A distribution from a qualified tuition program isn’t subject to gift tax, but a change in beneficiary or rollover to the account of a new beneficiary may be. Contact us with questions about tax-saving ways to save and pay for college.

Business alert: BOI reporting requirements have been suspended for now | accounting firm in baltimore md | Weyrich, Cronin & Sorra

Business alert: BOI reporting requirements have been suspended for now

New beneficial ownership information (BOI) reporting requirements that many small businesses were required to comply with by January 1, 2025, have been suspended nationwide under a new court ruling. However, businesses can still voluntarily submit BOI reports, according to the U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

How we got here

Under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), the BOI reporting requirements went into effect on January 1, 2024. The requirements are intended to help prevent criminals from using businesses for illicit activities, such as money laundering and fraud. The CTA requires many small businesses to provide information about their “beneficial owners” (the individuals who ultimately own or control the businesses) to FinCEN. Failure to submit a BOI report by the applicable deadline may result in civil or criminal penalties or both.

Under the CTA, the exact deadline for BOI compliance depends on the entity’s date of formation. Reporting companies created or registered before January 1, 2024, have one year to comply by filing initial reports, which means their deadline would be January 1, 2025. Those created or registered on or after January 1, 2024, but before January 1, 2025, have 90 days to file their initial reports upon receipt of their creation or registration documents. Entities created or registered on or after January 1, 2025, would have 30 days upon receipt of their creation or registration documents to file initial reports.

New court ruling

On December 3, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued an order granting a nationwide preliminary injunction that:

  1. Enjoins the CTA, including enforcement of the statute and regulations implementing its BOI reporting requirements, and,
  2. Stays all deadlines to comply with the CTA’s reporting requirements.

The U.S. Department of Justice, on behalf of the Treasury Department, filed an appeal in the case on December 5, 2024.

FinCEN states on its website that it “continues to believe … that the CTA is constitutional,” but while the litigation is ongoing, it will comply with the order as long as it remains in effect.

“Therefore,” it adds, “reporting companies are not currently required to file their beneficial ownership information with FinCEN and will not be subject to liability if they fail to do so while the preliminary injunction remains in effect.”

This is the latest litigation related to the CTA. In two earlier cases, U.S. District Courts upheld the BOI reporting requirements. In another case, the CTA was ruled unconstitutional, but only the named plaintiffs and their members were allowed to ignore the BOI requirements while an appeal is pending. More than 30 million other businesses still needed to meet the January 1, 2025, deadline — until now.

The future is unclear

Be aware that the ruling is preliminary, so it could be overturned or modified by future court decisions or legislation. FinCEN stated that businesses can continue to submit BOI reports voluntarily. Contact us if you have questions about how to proceed.

Maximize your year-end giving with gifts that offer tax benefits | accountant in harford county md | weyrich, cronin and sorra

Maximize your year-end giving with gifts that offer tax benefits

As the end of the year approaches, many people start to think about their finances and tax strategies. One effective way to reduce potential estate taxes and show generosity to loved ones is by giving cash gifts before December 31. Under tax law, you can gift a certain amount each year without incurring gift taxes or requiring a gift tax return. Taking advantage of this rule can help you reduce the size of your taxable estate while benefiting your family and friends.

Taxpayers can transfer substantial amounts, free of gift taxes, to their children or other recipients each year through the proper use of the annual exclusion. The exclusion amount is adjusted for inflation annually, and in 2024 is $18,000. It covers gifts that an individual makes to each recipient each year. So a taxpayer with three children can transfer $54,000 ($18,000 × 3) to the children this year, free of federal gift taxes. If the only gifts during a year are made this way, there’s no need to file a federal gift tax return. If annual gifts exceed $18,000 per recipient, the exclusion covers the first $18,000 and only the excess is taxable.

Note: This discussion isn’t relevant to gifts made to a spouse because they’re gift-tax-free under separate marital deduction rules.

Married taxpayers can split gifts

If you’re married, gifts made during a year can be treated as split between the spouses, even if the cash or asset is given to an individual by only one of you. Therefore, by gift splitting, up to $36,000 a year can be transferred to each recipient by a married couple because two exclusions are available. For example, a married couple with three married children can transfer $216,000 ($36,000 × 6) each year to their children and the children’s spouses.

If gift splitting is involved, both spouses must consent to it. This is indicated on the gift tax return (or returns) that the spouses file. (If more than $18,000 is being transferred by a spouse, a gift tax return must be filed, even if the $36,000 exclusion covers the total gifts.)

More rules to consider

Even gifts that aren’t covered by the exclusion may not result in a tax liability. That’s because a tax credit wipes out the federal gift tax liability on the first taxable gifts you make in your lifetime, up to $13.61 million in 2024. However, to the extent you use this credit against a gift tax liability, it reduces or eliminates the credit available for use against the federal estate tax at your death.

For a gift to qualify for the annual exclusion, it must be a “present interest” gift, meaning you can’t postpone the recipient’s enjoyment of the gift to the future. Other rules may apply. Contact us with questions. We can also prepare a gift tax return for you if you give more than $18,000 (or $36,000 if married) to a single person this year or make a split gift.

Reasons an LLC might be the ideal choice for your small to medium-size business | accountant in hunt valley md | weyrich, cronin and sorra

Reasons an LLC might be the ideal choice for your small to medium-size business

Choosing the right business entity is a key decision for any business. The entity you pick can affect your tax bill, your personal liability and other issues. For many businesses, a limited liability company (LLC) is an attractive choice. It can be structured to resemble a corporation for owner liability purposes and a partnership for federal tax purposes. This duality may provide the owners with several benefits.

Like the shareholders of a corporation, the owners of an LLC (called members rather than shareholders or partners) generally aren’t liable for business debts except to the extent of their investment. Therefore, an owner can operate a business with the security of knowing that personal assets (such as a home or individual investment account) are protected from the entity’s creditors. This protection is far greater than that afforded by partnerships. In a partnership, the general partners are personally liable for the debts of the business. Even limited partners, if they actively participate in managing the business, can have personal liability.

Electing classification

LLC owners can elect, under the “check-the-box rules,” to have the entity treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes. This can provide crucial benefits to the owners. For example, partnership earnings aren’t subject to an entity-level tax. Instead, they “flow through” to the owners in proportion to the owners’ respective interests in the profits and are reported on the owners’ individual returns and taxed only once. To the extent the income passed through to you is qualified business income (QBI), you’ll be eligible to take the QBI deduction, subject to various limitations.

In addition, since you’re actively managing the business, you can deduct on your individual tax return your ratable shares of any losses the business generates. This, in effect, allows you to shelter other income that you (and your spouse, if you’re married) may have.

An LLC that’s taxable as a partnership can provide special allocations of tax benefits to specific partners. This can be an important reason for using an LLC over an S corporation (a form of business that provides tax treatment that’s similar to a partnership). Another reason for using an LLC over an S corporation is that LLCs aren’t subject to the restrictions the federal tax code imposes on S corporations regarding the number of owners and the types of ownership interests that may be issued. (For example, an S corp can’t have more than 100 shareholders and can only have one class of stock.)

Evaluate the options

To sum up, an LLC can give you protection from creditors while providing the benefits of taxation as a partnership. Be aware that the LLC structure is allowed by state statute, and states may use different regulations. Contact us to discuss in more detail how use of an LLC or another option might benefit you and the other owners.

Navigating tax complexities: Craft partnership agreements and LLC operating agreements with precision | Business consulting services in washington dc | Weyrich, Cronin & Sorra

Navigating tax complexities: Craft partnership agreements and LLC operating agreements with precision

Partnerships are often used for business and investment activities. So are multi-member LLCs that are treated as partnerships for tax purposes. A major reason is that these entities offer federal income tax advantages, the most important of which is pass-through taxation. They also must follow some special and sometimes complicated federal income tax rules.

Governing documents

A partnership is governed by a partnership agreement, which specifies the rights and obligations of the entity and its partners. Similarly, an LLC is governed by an operating agreement, which specifies the rights and obligations of the entity and its members. These governing documents should address certain tax-related issues. Here are some key points when creating partnership and LLC governing documents.

Partnership tax basics

The tax numbers of a partnership are allocated to the partners. The entity issues an annual Schedule K-1 to each partner to report his or her share of the partnership’s tax numbers for the year. The partnership itself doesn’t pay federal income tax. This arrangement is called pass-through taxation, because the tax numbers from the partnership’s operations are passed through to the partners who then take them into account on their own tax returns (Form 1040 for individual partners).

Partners can deduct partnership losses passed through to them, subject to various federal income tax limitations such as the passive loss rules.

Special tax allocations

Partnerships are allowed to make special tax allocations. This is an allocation of partnership loss, deduction, income or gain among the partners that’s disproportionate to the partners’ overall ownership interests. The best measure of a partner’s overall ownership interest is the partner’s stated interest in the entity’s distributions and capital, as specified in the partnership agreement. An example of a special tax allocation is when a 50% high-tax-bracket partner is allocated 80% of the partnership’s depreciation deductions while the 50% low-tax-bracket partner is allocated only 20% of the depreciation deductions.

Any special tax allocations should be set forth in the partnership agreement. However, to make valid special tax allocations, you must comply with complicated rules in IRS regulations.

Distributions to pay partnership-related tax bills

Partners must recognize taxable income for their allocations of partnership income and gains — whether those income and gains are distributed as cash to the partners or not. Therefore, a common partnership agreement provision is one that calls for the partnership to make cash distributions to help partners cover their partnership-related tax liabilities. Of course, those liabilities will vary, depending on the partners’ specific tax circumstances. The partnership agreement should specify the protocols that will be used to calculate distributions intended to help cover partnership-related tax bills.

For instance, the protocol for long-term capital gains might call for distributions equal to 15% or 20% of each partner’s allocation of the gains.

Such distributions may be paid out in early April of each year to help cover partners’ tax liabilities from their allocations of income and gains from the previous year.
