This allows cash-basis taxpayers to prepay and deduct qualifying expenses up to 12 months in advance without challenge, adjustment, or change by the IRS.
1. Year End Tax Tips:
Yes, there is still time to save money on taxes for 2020....even today.
Here is a list of some of your top options:
A) You can pay your kids up to age 18 up to $12,400 and if they have no other income, they owe NO federal taxes, but YOU get the deduction
This allows cash-basis taxpayers to prepay and deduct qualifying expenses up to 12 months in advance without challenge, adjustment, or change by the IRS.
-lease payments on business vehicles
-rent payments on offices and machinery
-and business and malpractice insurance premiums
With bonus depreciation now at 100 percent along with increased limits for Section 179 expensing,
buy your equipment or machinery and place it in service before December 31 and get a deduction for 100 percent of the cost in 2020.
-new and used personal property such as machinery, equipment, computers, desks, furniture, and chairs (and certain qualifying vehicles).
I'm picking up a stand up desk since someone went and filled my bin.
If you are a single-member LLC or sole proprietor filing Schedule C for your business,
the day you charge a purchase to your business or personal credit card is the day you deduct the expense.
The same rule applies:
The date of charge is the date of deduction for the corporation
the corporation must reimburse you if you want the corporation to realize the tax deduction, and that happens on the date of reimbursement.
But again, you still have time.
This applies to both new AND used vehicles.
Personally, I buy mine used.
About 4 years old with < 50k miles.
You should never stop documenting your deductions, and you should always claim ALL your rightful deductions.
Don’t think you have too many, and don’t try to avoid deductions that you think could be a red flag.
Second, no one knows exactly what those red flags are.
Third, if the deduction is legitimate, it doesn’t matter if the IRS audits it—you’ll win.
And their audit rate is currently less than 2%
Anyway, those are some absolute last-minute strategies for you.
Want to pay the absolute LEAST amount possible in 2021?
Then you need to grab my course Slash Your Taxes.
This info was from the 1st 15 min of ONE week.
& each month in 2021, we'll answer questions in a monthly call AND we'll do one financial tax makeover a month.
Seriously, this is the best deal on the planet if you have a business, or side hustle.
And, of course, the cost is a deduction.

1/ I'm thrilled to announce the launch of my new website, a one-stop shop for all the content I'm creating.
There you'll find links to all my podcasts, the TTMYGH newsletter, and other exciting future projects.
2/ In 2020, I reignited my passion for interviewing brilliant people by launching The Grant Williams Podcast in various forms, including The End Game, The Super Terrific Happy Hour, and The Narrative Game.
3/ Starting February 1, I'm taking the bold step of moving these podcasts completely behind a paywall.
For the very affordable price of only $10 a month, listeners can gain access to the Copper Tier of https://t.co/fxUfH8maI4, which includes all current & future podcasts.
4/ Why am I doing this? First and foremost, I aspire to create VALUABLE content. By definition, if something is priced at $0, it isn’t valuable. The time, effort and creativity that goes into these episodes is substantial. To keep doing them properly, they can no longer be free.
5/ I also strongly believe content creators should be able to make a living creating content. If everything is free, that’s not possible. I never seriously considered accepting outside sponsors – complete integrity is too critical to me.

To people who are under the impression that you can get rich quickly by working on an app, here are the stats for https://t.co/az8F12pf02
📈 ~12000 vistis
☑️ 109 transactions
💰 353€ profit (285 after tax)
I have spent 1.5 months on this app. You can make more $ in 2 days.
🤷♂️
I'm still happy that I launched a paid app bcs it involved extra work:
- backend for processing payments (+ permissions, webhooks, etc)
- integration with payment processor
- UI for license activation in Electron
- machine activation limit
- autoupdates
- mailgun emails
etc.
These things seemed super scary at first. I always thought it was way too much work and something would break. But I'm glad I persisted. So far the only problem I have is that mailgun is not delivering the license keys to certain domains like https://t.co/6Bqn0FUYXo etc. 👌
omg I just realized that me . com is an Apple domain, of course something wouldn't work with these dicks

Joshua Hawley, Missouri's Junior Senator, is an autocrat in waiting.
His arrogance and ambition prohibit any allegiance to morality or character.
Thus far, his plan to seize the presidency has fallen into place.
An explanation in photographs.
🧵
Joshua grew up in the next town over from mine, in Lexington, Missouri. A a teenager he wrote a column for the local paper, where he perfected his political condescension.
2/
By the time he reached high-school, however, he attended an elite private high-school 60 miles away in Kansas City.
This is a piece of his history he works to erase as he builds up his counterfeit image as a rural farm boy from a small town who grew up farming.
3/
After graduating from Rockhurst High School, he attended Stanford University where he wrote for the Stanford Review--a libertarian publication founded by Peter Thiel..
4/
(Full Link: https://t.co/zixs1HazLk)
Hawley's writing during his early 20s reveals that he wished for the curriculum at Stanford and other "liberal institutions" to change and to incorporate more conservative moral values.
This led him to create the "Freedom Forum."
