BulldogTom Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 12 minutes ago, Randall said: I thought if they got the full credit ($2000) as nonrefundable, just a deduction of their tax, this pending bill would not affect it. Only if they got a refundable credit. You are correct. If there is no refundable portion of the credit, it will not be affected by the changes. What is proposed is that the refundable portion will go up by $200 per child to $1,800. So your lower income folks who get the refund on the credit will get more if they wait. Or they can file now and get the difference later when IRS goes back through and fixes the refunds. Tom Longview, TX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 59 minutes ago, BulldogTom said: Also affects bonus depreciation for your business returns. I think that will apply to rentals as well for new business property installed in 2023 (stoves, refrigerators, etc) So, if you have any business returns or any individual returns with dependent children or rentals, you need to consider when to file. Tom Longview, TX Schedules C. Anyone with depreciation, new in 2023 depreciable property. Right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulldogTom Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 On 1/22/2024 at 9:06 AM, BulldogTom said: The 5 year amortization of R&D costs is pushed out in that bill as well. Wonder if Apple and some of the other giant tech companies and drug companies are lobbying hard in an election year for these changes. Tom Longview, TX A quote from a Bloomberg article this morning on MSN: "A coalition of 250 business groups including the US Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable and National Association of Manufacturers has lobbied hard for the legislation authored by Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith and Senate Finance Chairman Ron Wyden. Boeing Co., General Motors Co., Deere & Co., Caterpillar Inc., Amazon.com Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Apple Inc. are among the companies that stand to benefit, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. The measure would restore expired tax breaks allowing businesses to more quickly recoup the costs of domestic research and development, interest on business loans and investment in equipment." If you want to know what Congress is going to do....follow the money. Tom Longview, TX 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 On 1/31/2024 at 12:39 PM, kathyc2 said: You are correct. If they have enough tax liability to absorb the CTC, this bill will not effect them. The inflation adjustment as written does not come into play for 2023. Neither will it affect a tax payer with one child that uses $1K to cover tax liability and 1K refundable.

mcb39 Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 We are not waiting around. We still have clients who are waiting for their last year's refund, which is still being processed. Also, we are still not able to speak with an IRS rep even in response to a Collection Letter. I don't have the strength to walk away from clients who need me. Credibility???

BulldogTom Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Are you all waiting on the business returns or are you filing and then amend? Bonus depreciation is what I am running into most. I can't hold out forever, I need to earn a living as well and I don't get paid until the returns are done. I am extending the one that has R&D costs.

Lee B Posted February 22 Author Report Share Posted February 22 The Senate is on a two week break, so there's no progress to report. Also, the bill requires 60 votes to bring to the floor for a vote. According to news reports there aren't 60 votes to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANRVAN Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 On 2/21/2024 at 5:48 PM, BulldogTom said: filing and then amend? Bonus depreciation is what I am running into most. I discuss with clients and let them make the call in cases where Sect 179 does not fit or it can't be squeezed into 1.263(a) safe harbor. Most decided not to wait for a ship that has not yet set sail, and potentially file amended returns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulldogTom Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 Bloomberg article today about the status of the bill. Still very iffy to pass or even come to a vote. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/bipartisan-78-billion-tax-deal-hits-gop-roadblock-in-us-senate/ar-BB1l5LVE?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=4aec1985a28f47e68dda2a10d5257964&ei=41 You can search it on MSN if you don't want to click the link.
