The most commonly used modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) for calculating depreciation. A general depreciation system uses the declining-balance method to depreciate personal property. The declining-balance method involves applying the depreciation rate against the non-depreciated balance. For example, if an asset that costs $1,000 is depreciated at 25% each year, the deduction is $250.00 in the first year and $187.50 in the second year, and so forth.
A per person breakdown of general living expenses. It includes the amount paid for lodging, food consumed within the home, utilities paid and other expenses. The sum of all the expenses is then divided by the number of family members residing in the house in order to find each member's part of the total expense. If you have "head of household" status, you can enjoy a larger standard deduction and lower tax rates.
The total value of all the individual credits to be applied against income on a tax return. This credit can be carried forward for a number of years in most cases and can also be carried back in some cases. Watch: Tax Deduction Vs. Tax Credit The General Business Tax Credit is unique in that it is not a single separate credit. Instead, it represents a smorgasboard of specific tax credits that promote certain business activities, such as research, oil recovery, reforestation, or starting a pension plan. Each credit is tallied up on a separate form first, then carried over to the General Business Tax Credit Form 3800.
A collection of tax credits that are grouped together in the General Business Tax Credit Form 3800. Some of the credits available include the alcohol fuels credit, the research and experimentation credit, the enhanced oil recovery credit, the disabled access credit, the new markets credit, the low-income housing credit, and many others.
An additional tax on the sale of vehicles that have poor fuel economy. A vehicle is subject to a tax if it gets less than a certain number of miles per gallon. This is one of many reasons why you no longer see car manufacturers producing 1970s-style, gas-guzzling, oil-burning, road-crushing beasts.
Categories for which various sources of income are allocated based on United States tax regulations. Each basket has a net gain or loss, which may not be applied to any other basket as a means to reduce taxable gains. For example, let's look at a situation where you have a net loss in one income basket, with an equivalent net gain in another. Ignoring baskets, your net income is $0, as the loss offsets the gain, meaning you will not have to pay any taxes. However, because U.S. tax code specifies that baskets can't overlap, the net loss cannot be applied to the net gain. Unfortunately, you will have to pay any applicable income taxes on the basket with a net gain.
An additional amount of income that a taxpayer may have to report as a result of leasing a vehicle or other property for business purposes. The inclusion amount must be reported if the fair market value of the leased vehicle exceeds a certain threshold. The inclusion amount is designed to limit the taxpayer's deduction amount to the amount that would be deductible as depreciation if the taxpayer owned the vehicle or equipment. This prevents the taxpayer from being able to deduct the entire amount of the larger lease payment versus the lesser amount of the depreciation. The inclusion amount will differ according to the type of property or equipment that is leased; the inclusion amount for cars is different than the rate applied to office equipment or computers. Car leases require that an inclusion amount be included for every year that a vehicle is leased, while other property needs an inclusion amount only if the business usage drops to 50% or less during the year.
Expenses including fees and tips for porters, baggage handlers and other personal service employees. These expenses are part of the "meals and incidental expenses reimbursement" rates provided by the IRS. Unreimbursed incidental expenses are deductible according to a schedule prescribed by the IRS. Incidental expenses that are incurred as a result of casualty or theft, such as emergency room treatment for injury suffered as a result of mugging, are not deductible as a casualty loss. Also note that incidental expense rates differ by region.
