How many times can we be taxed on the same dol­lar and how long are we going to put up with this high­way robbery?

This infor­ma­tion is taken from a report given at the New York State Sen­ate Repub­li­can Con­fer­ence. Source:SFY 2009-10 Enacted Bud­get; Analy­sis of Sen­ate and Assem­bly Demo­c­rat Bud­get Res­o­lu­tions; and A Bet­ter Choice Bud­get Cam­paign — Rev­enue Rais­ing Options.

LIST of TAX INCREASES is Below. It totals $18.7 bil­lion dol­lars of increases.

Who do you think ends up pay­ing all that?

If they tax big busi­ness, do you think Big Busi­ness is going to pass that extra cost to them on to their cus­tomers? Of Course.

These are just the newly proposed/enacted taxes for New York State for one year. So many want the gov­ern­ment to pay for every­thing but, who is really pay­ing? Just because some­thing is given any one of the fol­low­ing names or any other name for exam­ple, does not mean that it is not an out­right TAX:

Using a Car for Busi­ness? Grab These Deductions

If you use a car for busi­ness, you get the ben­e­fit of tax deduc­tions. There are two choices for claim­ing deductions:
  1. Deduct the actual business-related costs of gas, oil, lubri­ca­tion, repairs, tires, sup­plies, park­ing, tolls, dri­vers’ salaries, and depreciation.
  2. Use the stan­dard mileage deduc­tion and sim­ply mul­ti­ply 51 cents for 2011 travel (2010’s rate was 50 cents) by the num­ber of busi­ness miles trav­eled dur­ing the year. Your actual park­ing fees and tolls are sep­a­rately deductible under this method.

Which Method Is Better?

Thanks for your com­ment Court­ney. Much appre­ci­ated. Saw your arti­cles in Google con­cern­ing Porta­bil­ity. Just won­der if you are aware of the fact that if one elects Porta­bil­ity I am told that they lose stepped-up val­u­a­tion, can­not do an A/B split, and must file the dreaded IRS Form 706. On the other hand if they do not elect Porta­bil­ity, they can do the A/B split, and do not have to file the 706. B.

Estate Tax Exemp­tion Is Portable (For Now) Intro­duc­tion Recent leg­is­la­tion intro­duced a new, but per­haps tem­po­rary, estate plan­ning con­cept – exemp­tion “porta­bil­ity.” In short, the estate of a deceased spouse can trans­fer to the sur­viv­ing spouse any por­tion of the fed­eral estate tax exemp­tion that it does not use. The sur­viv­ing spouse’s estate can then add that amount to the exemp­tion it is enti­tled to, increas­ing the total amount that can be passed on to heirs tax free. This new fea­ture makes it eas­ier for mar­ried cou­ples to min­i­mize the poten­tial impact of estate taxes.

2011 Tax Changes At-a-Glance A host of tax pro­vi­sions enacted in 2001 and 2003 – com­monly referred to col­lec­tively as the “Bush tax cuts” – expire at the end of the year. While it’s pos­si­ble that new leg­is­la­tion could extend some or all of these expir­ing tax pro­vi­sions, election-year pol­i­tics make it dif­fi­cult to pre­dict what action, if any, Con­gress will take. With that in mind, here’s what you need to know about the major changes that are sched­uled for 2011.

How would you like your money, Tax­able, Tax Deferred or Tax Free?

Over a twenty year period, do you know the accu­mu­lat­ing affects of pay­ing taxes on your wealth build­ing ability?

Let’s say you have one dol­lar. And let’s say you are able to dou­ble that dol­lar every year for twenty years. Do you know how much you would have at the end of the twen­ti­eth year?

Answer: $1,048,576.

But that is only if you do not have to pay taxes on that money.

Min­i­mize Taxes For Your Beneficiaries.

Many peo­ple feel they do not need a will because their tax­able estate does not exceed the amount allowed to pass free of fed­eral estate tax. These assump­tions, how­ever, should be reviewed given the cur­rent state of change in the fed­eral estate tax laws. The fed­eral estate tax laws in 2009, 2010 and 2011 are vastly dif­fer­ent, for the moment and, there­fore, it is impor­tant to have your will reviewed and updated as nec­es­sary this year.

W2 Employ­ees — How to Keep More Income

What is the biggest sin­gle finan­cial oblig­a­tion of each per­son in the USA? Taxes. With all the bailouts, and gov­ern­ment spend­ing we can be sure that our taxes will not be being reduced any time soon. W2 work­ers are taxed before they get their earn­ings. Then they are taxed every time they spend their earn­ings as well. Then they think that because they put some money into a qual­i­fied plan that is tax deferred, they are sav­ing on taxes, but the real­ity is they will be pay­ing more on taxes in the future when they try to use their sav­ings. It is like hav­ing the choice of pay­ing taxes on the bag of seed now, or pay­ing taxes on the bag of seed and the har­vest later on. Which do you pre­fer? Infla­tion, the print­ing of more green backs, is also a tax. We think infla­tion means the price of goods has gone up because they are now worth more but the real­ity is that the value of the dol­lar has gone down, so we have to spend more dol­lars to buy the same item. This means the gov­ern­ment col­lects more dol­lars of taxes from us and our income level rises so our tax bracket gets higher so we have to pay more taxes because of that as well. Peo­ple would be out­raged if the gov­ern­ment just sent them a bill for the actual amount of taxes they are truly charg­ing them for each dol­lar they earn. That is why instead, they (the gov­ern­ment) have cre­ated this hid­den sys­tem of steal­ing our money from us, pretty much at gun point), with the threat of jail time if we don’t pay up and peo­ple feel pow­er­less to do any­thing about it. This blog post will be look­ing at how to increase your net worth by just becom­ing a part-time home-based busi­ness owner, and with­OUT nec­es­sar­ily mak­ing any more money. But mak­ing more is always a good thing, if you know the tax rules. Why own a home-based busi­ness? 1. Be your own boss. 2. Cap­ture the power of resid­ual income 3. Be rewarded for busi­ness achieve­ments 4. Reap the tax ben­e­fits — This is a major major ben­e­fit. We all know that the more money we pay in taxes, the less money we get to keep.  So let me ask you this, what can give you a bet­ter bot­tom line, a $2000 raise or own­ing a home-based busi­ness? Keep read­ing and you’ll guess and under­stand the answer. More »
