Will You Get a Cash Rebate? |
|
 As part of the economic
plan to stimulate the economy, the government will be sending rebate checks to
most taxpayers. As with most tax issues, it is not simple and, in fact, somewhat
complicated. There are many factors to consider, such as who qualifies for the
rebate, how is it calculated, what does a taxpayer need to do, if anything, to
get the rebate, and how does the rebate affect a taxpayer’s return for 2008.

Husband and Wife Joint Ventures |
|
Beginning in 2007, a married couple that owns a joint business venture in which
they both participate can elect to file two self-employed business schedules
(Schedule C or Schedule F) on their personal income tax return, dividing the
income and expenses instead of filing a partnership return. However, the IRS has
made it clear that this special provision does not apply to state law entities,
such as general or limited partnerships or limited liability companies. If you
are interested in pursuing this option for 2008 and currently have employees,
are also required to file other types of tax returns, or simply have questions
about this option, please give this office a call.
