In this episode, Mike delves into the intricacies of the Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction, also known as the Section 199A deduction, which was part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. He explains the basic rules and income thresholds, discusses which types of income qualify, and provides details on how to calculate the deduction. Additionally, he addresses the expiration of the QBI deduction after 2025 and clarifies that the deduction is taken on personal tax returns, not business returns. Discover the key rules and strategies to ensure you're not leaving money on the table by tuning in! [00:00 - 05:21] Introduction to QBI Deduction Mike gives an overview of the QBI deduction and its origin in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. General rule: Deduct up to 20% of qualified business income. Types of businesses that qualify: sole proprietorships, LLCs, S corporations, and partnerships. [05:22 - 10:10] Non-Qualifying Income and Income Thresholds Mike explains the income types that do not qualify for QBI: investment income, wage income, and income from C corporations. Income thresholds for 2024: $191,950 for singles and $383,900 for married couples. Calculation changes for those above income thresholds. [10:11 - 15:00] Specified Service Trade or Business (SSTB) Mike defines SSTBs and gives examples such as healthcare, law, financial services, athletics, performing arts, accountants, and consultants. [15:01 - 20:20] Calculation Examples Mike shares step-by-step examples of calculating the QBI deduction below and above income thresholds. What is the Impact of W-2 wages and qualified property on the deduction? [20:21 - 23:03] Conclusion and Resources The QBI deduction is taken on personal tax returns. The expiration of the QBI deduction is after 2025 unless extended by Congress. Direct Quotes: "If you have sole proprietorship income, LLC income, S corporation income, partnership income, those are all the types of income that would qualify for the QBI deduction." - Mike Jesowshek, CPA "The QBI deduction is taken on your tax return, not your business tax return."- Mike Jesowshek, CPA ______ Podcast Host: Mike Jesowshek, CPA - Founder and Host of Small Business Tax Savings Podcast Join TaxElm: https://taxelm.com/ IncSight Packages (Full-Service): https://incsight.net/pricing/ Book an Initial Consultation (IncSight): https://app.simplymeet.me/o/incsight/sale ------- Podcast Website: https://www.TaxSavingsPodcast.com Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/taxsavings/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TaxSavings

	Can Small Business Owners Write Off Gym Memberships on Taxes? [2024]	29 May 2024	00:16:06
Send us a text Have you ever wondered if your business can deduct the cost of an on-site gym? In this episode, Mike focuses on the tax deductibility of gym memberships and on-premises athletic facilities for small businesses. He clarifies that personal gym memberships are not deductible, with rare exceptions for fitness instructors. However, gyms or athletic facilities located on business premises can be deductible if they primarily serve rank-and-file employees, not owners or highly compensated employees. He also provides detailed guidelines and examples to help business owners understand and comply with IRS rules for these deductions. Discover the rules and exceptions by tuning in! [00:00 - 05:10] Gym Membership Deductions and On-Premises Athletic Facilities Mike discusses the non-deductibility of personal gym memberships. It is a rare exception for fitness instructors using gyms as their business location. To qualify to be deductible, facilities must primarily serve rank-and-file employees. Highly compensated employees are employees who earn $155,000 or more in 2024. [05:10 - 11:30] Examples and Case Studies Example 1: Gym usage by owners and highly compensated employees vs. rank-and-file employees. Example 2: Single owner and one rank-and-file employee using the gym. Example 3: Owner and family members using the gym exclusively. Mike shares the importance of using a sign-in sheet or key card system for tracking gym usage. [11:30 - 15:45] Conclusion and Additional Resources Direct Quote: "No business allowable business deduction for personal expense, which would be a gym membership, but there are some rare circumstances on where a gym membership might be acceptable." - Mike Jesowshek, CPA ______ Podcast Host: Mike Jesowshek, CPA - Founder and Host of Small Business Tax Savings Podcast Join TaxElm: https://taxelm.com/ IncSight Packages (Full-Service): https://incsight.net/pricing/ Book an Initial Consultation (IncSight): https://app.simplymeet.me/o/incsight/sale ------- Podcast Website: https://www.TaxSavingsPodcast.com Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/taxsavings/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TaxSavings
