2013 will be over in almost 2 months...hard to believe!  I recommend that you use this time to “spring clean” in the fall/winter.  Look at your past year and refine your systems in your business: marketing, HR, IT, sales, financial.  How can you improve your system for your staff and improve the experience for your clients/customers?
To Your Success, Renee and Team

IRS Gives Free Money to Taxpayers 
By: Renee Daggett
I want free money!!  How do I get it?  Back in 1975, Congress approved this Earned Income Credit (EIC) to provide an incentive to working taxpayers.  To qualify, you must meet certain requirements.
Cash_in_Pocket.jpgTo qualify, you must have earned income from employment (W-2), self-employment or another source of income.  You don’t need to have children to qualify, but the more kids you have, the higher the credit.  You can be single, head of household or married filing joint with your spouse to qualify. 
If you are married and have at least one child, there are 4 tests that you must meet to qualify:
1. The relationship of the child (son/daughter/adopted child/stepchild/foster child/grandchild/sibling/niece/nephew)
2. The age of the child (younger than you, younger than 19 or younger than 24 and a full-time student, or disabled)
3. Residency (child must live with you in the US for more than ½ the year)
4. Must file a joint return (child cannot file a joint return)
If you are married and have no children, you must meet 3 tests:
1. You and your spouse must have lived in the US more than ½ the year
2. You or your spouse must be between the ages of 25 and 64
3. You or your spouse cannot qualify as a dependent of another person
In order to qualify in 2013, your adjusted gross income (AGI) must be less than:
•$46,227 for single or HOH filers ($51,567 married filing jointly) with 3 or more qualifying children
•$43,038 for single or HOH filers ($48.378 married filing jointly) with 2 qualifying children
•$37,870 for single or HOH filers ($43,210 married filing jointly) with 1 qualifying child
•$14,340 for single or HOH filers ($19,680 married filing jointly) with no qualifying children
Tax Year 2013 maximum credit:
•$6,044 with 3 or more qualifying children 
• $5,372 with 2 qualifying children
•$3,250 with 1 qualifying child
• $487 with no qualifying children
60% of the errors in filing this credit are due to 3 things:
1. Claiming a child who does not meet the age, relationship, residency or joint return test mentioned above
2. Filing as a single or head of household when legally married
3. Over or under reporting income or business expenses to maximize the credit

•In an audit, the IRS will look closely at the following expenses: travel, entertainment, meals, and auto deductions.
•If you receive an audit letter from the IRS or Franchise Tax Board it could mean that their computer pulled your number.  Certain numbers can trigger this: high mortgage interest, high charitable contributions, high business expenses, business losses for many years, no W-2 for Officers, high travel expenses, etc.
