Below is a summary of important developments you should be aware of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In a change from past rules, businesses must file all Forms W-2 and W-3 and some Forms 1099-MISC with the IRS and the Social Security Administration no later than Jan. 31 in the year following the one to which the forms relate. As a result, <strong>forms for 2016 activities must be filed by Jan. 31, 2017<\/strong>. Employees and vendors or independent consultants must still receive their forms by Jan. 31.<\/li>\n<li>There are <strong><u>new due dates<\/u><\/strong> for returns for partnerships, C corporations and several other business returns. <strong>For calendar-year partnerships, the new filing date is March 15 and for C corporations, it\u2019s April 15.<\/strong> <strong>The date for<\/strong> <strong>fiscal year C corporations is the 15th of the fourth month following the end of the corporation\u2019s calendar year.<\/strong> This is good news. In fact, the CPA profession has long advocated for these changes because they\u2019ll minimize tax season complications and delays and make it easier to ensure that tax returns are accurate and on time. Among other benefits, those in partnerships should now receive their Schedule K-1s in time to file their individual returns by April 15.<\/li>\n<li>Small businesses may benefit from legislation that reset the rules on what kinds of property qualifies for bonus depreciation, because it includes \u201cqualified improvement property,\u201d a new class of nonresidential real property. At the same time, bonus depreciation has been extended through 2019 (and through 2020 older transportation property). The new rules allow 50% bonus depreciation through 2017, 40% in 2018 and 30% in 2019.<\/li>\n<li>If your business is a partnership, there\u2019s now a much greater chance you could face an IRS audit, due to new audit and adjustment rules. Although the change will generally apply to returns for tax year 2018 and later, clients should start planning now to prevent any unexpected consequences down the road. In particular, we recommend reviewing your partnership operating agreement with the new rules in mind. Please don\u2019t hesitate to contact us for assistance with identifying what changes might be relevant to your agreement.<\/li>\n<li>Also, be aware that even if your business is <u>not<\/u> a partnership, you will want to evaluate the effect that these new rules and related agreement changes could have if you have invested in any partnership.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The AMT Remains a Concern, but Planning Can Help<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The alternative minimum tax (AMT) scopes in many taxpayers, requiring them to add back in some of the deductions they\u2019ve taken. There is some good news for businesses this year because some smaller companies can now claim the research and development tax credit, a benefit that\u2019s now permanent, against the AMT. We can also help you plan to minimize your exposure to the AMT using techniques such as managing timing of capital gains or dividends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New laws and regulations could have an impact on how you manage your business or your tax planning.
