Navigating New Tax Legislation: Your Path to Clarity and Opportunity

As your navigators in the ever-evolving landscape of taxation, we’re here with some potentially groundbreaking news that could shape your business’s financial strategies in the coming years. The “Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024,” recently passed by the House, promises a suite of tax changes designed to empower businesses like yours. 

While this bill is still on its journey through the tax legislative process, its potential implications are too significant not to share.

Here’s what’s on the horizon:

• Employee Retention Tax Credits (ERTC) Revamp The ERTC’s potential adjustments, particularly the termination of new claims after January 31, 2024, could prompt businesses to explore alternative tax benefits or employee retention strategies. This change signals a move towards normalization and the need for businesses to adapt to a post-ERTC landscape.
• Bonus Depreciation Extension Extending the 100-percent bonus depreciation through 2025 encourages businesses to make new investments sooner rather than later. This could significantly impact cash flow and tax planning, making it an opportune time to consider upgrading or expanding business assets.
• Expanded Section 179 Deductions With the deduction limits increased, businesses have a greater incentive to invest in equipment and technology that can drive operational efficiency and growth. This enhancement can make a notable difference in your annual tax savings and investment capabilities.
• Simplified 1099 Filing Raising the filing threshold for 1099 forms aims to reduce the paperwork and compliance burden for businesses, especially small businesses. This change makes it easier to work with freelancers and contractors, potentially simplifying how you manage and report these payments.
• Research & Experimental Expenses The delayed requirement for amortizing research and experimental expenses frees up more immediate financial resources for innovation. This allows businesses to invest more readily in research activities that are crucial for developing new products or services, enhancing your competitive edge in the market.
