How is income separated between business income and S-Corp income?
Q. My friend is a professional snowboarder who set up an S Corp last year at his accountant's insistence. He has parted ways with the accountant and wants to file on his own, but on the "Income tax summary" he received from his accountant last year, there is "Business income" and "Rent, royalty, partnership, SCorp, Trust" income and he has amounts in both areas. My question is how the accounant determined which amounts belonged in which areas--his income comes directly from his sponsors and he gets 1099 forms from them, and the only other income he has is from contest wins. He is the only owner/employee of the SCorp and does not have any complex accounting issues. I pretty much just want to know if income needs to be separated (onto Schedules… [cont.]
Asked by lulu22785 - Sun Sep 2 19:21:53 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The most likely reason is that the S-corp did not exist at the beginning of the year and all income from before it's existance would be considered self-employment income (Schedule C). S-Corps do NOT use Schedule E. They are their own entity and have to file their own return and pass the income to your friend via a K-1 or similar document. My advise to you and your friend is to forget doing this on your own and find a competent CPA or Premium H&R Block office (Premium offices are rarer and handle the really complicated returns like this).

A. Persons with income of $10,000 and over Um... I have owned several personal desktops and one laptop making under 15,000. Not all at once of course. I mean to say each time I have purchased a new computer my income was under 15,000 gross a year. Mainly I can afford this because I do not have to pay property taxes since I rent and also because I do not have debt that requires me to use my income tax return. So I can use my income tax return towards new purchases. Dunno if this helps at all but I thought I would offer the info.

A. Income Tax Expense is a percentage of Net Income. Your entry is correct. So you have to calculate Net Income Before Income Tax, skip a line, put Income Tax and the formula of .32*the cell with NIBIT, then total it and call it Net Income After Income Tax.

How much income tax do savings cost?
Q. I've heard that you only have to pay income tax on savings accounts if you take out money. Is that true? If you do take out money how much do you have to pay. What if you took out money to pay for classes, will you have to pay less income tax; how much less? What other things can you buy that will cost you less or no income tax? Can you give me an example?
Asked by MHrice73 - Sun Jan 27 16:04:05 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. What kind of savings account? If this is a regular account at the bank, you pay tax on the interest income each year but nothing when you take the money out. If it's a brokerage account invested in mutual funds, then there can be capital gains when the mutual funds are sold (and you have to sell them to get the money out). The tax is only on the GAIN, not the entire amount. Commonly called UGMA and UTMA accounts. If this is a tax deferred savings account (529 plan or coverdell ESA), then you don't pay taxes each year, but then look at what the money is spent on when it's withdrawn. If it's used for qualified educational expenses, it's tax exempt. If not, tax + 10% penalty.

Are state income taxes based on the address of the employer or the employee?
Q. I worked in New York over the summer, but I'm a California resident, and I used my California address for all the paperwork, so that's the address listed on my W-2 (and also where all my paychecks were sent). I have to file tax returns for both states either way, but I'm not sure whether to list my summer pay as NY or CA income. Is what state my income was earned in determined by my employer's address, or by my address as listed on my W-2? If it's considered NY income, then do I file my CA tax return as a part-year resident, or will I have to CA tax on it as well?
Asked by EmilyRose - Tue Apr 10 22:24:03 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. pisceswise is correct, but not complete. You will file a NY Non Resident return for your New York income only. You will file a CA Resident Return for all income including the income earned in NY. CA should give you a credit for taxes paid to NY. If CA's tax rate is higher than NY, your credit should be the total amount of tax paid to NY. If CA is lower, then your credit will be limited to the tax that CA would have assessed on that income.

Asked by lovelyheart - Wed Jan 28 11:53:05 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 1) Yes you can file if you want to get the money they took out of your pay during the year (period you worked that year). Federal witholdings is what its called. So yes for that reason. 2) Yes, you have 2 dependents and with 4000 I think you would still get the maximum EIC plus Child Tax Credits. Now this is tricky because you have to be under a certain age for the Child Tax Credit but you have to meet certain criteria for the EIC (Earned Income Credit)... 3) I could give you an exact estimate if you want and let you know exactly what you would get back but I would need more details in order to do your calculations!

A. If you are a professional gambler, i.e you derive a substantial portion of your income from gambling activities on a regular basis, then you file as self-employed and report your earnings and expenses on Schedule C and pay the self-employment tax via Schedule SE. Gambling winnings are reported to the IRS via Form W-2G so they will be looking for them either on line 21 of Form 1040 (for the casual gambler) or Schedule C (for the professional gambler). Causal gamblers can take a miscellaneous itemized deduction on Schedule A for gambling losses up to the amount of reported winnings if they keep meticulous records.

A and B decided to allocate income with 10% interest on capital balances at the beginning of the period and divide the balance equally. Net income for the current year is $8000.

Asked by Cindy S - Fri Oct 5 11:56:05 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I think there's a typo somewhere. The partners didn't have enough to withdraw $150,000 each. In any case, it doesn't matter. The 10% interest is calculated on capital balance at the beginning of the period with the balance divided equally. At the beginning of the period the capital balances were A : $30,000 and B : $50,000, so A's interest is $3,000 and B's interest is $5,000. Net income was $80,000. Deduct the $8,000 interest and the balance is $72,000 to be divided equally, so each partner gets $36,000 in addition to his interest.
