TCJA Changes to Your Tax-Free Supper Money

August 23, 2018 By Steve McMackin

TCJA Changes to Your Tax-Free Supper Money

Here’s how the TCJA applied its tax reform to your supper money meal allowances. Before tax reform, you deducted 100 percent of the supper money cost. Now, because of tax reform, your tax deduction for supper money is subject to a 50 percent cut for amounts paid during tax years 2018 through 2025. The regulations…

Tax Reform Expands Your Section 179 Deduction Privilege

July 12, 2018 By Steve McMackin

Tax Reform Expands Your Section 179 Deduction Privilege

The new and improved Section 179 deduction gives you more ways to take advantage of immediate tax deductions. It’s somewhat like having a flexible tax shelter in your back pocket for when you need it (and also need the property, of course). As in years past, the Section 179 deduction is available for both new…

Tax Reform Destroyed State and Local Tax Deductions—Fight Back

July 5, 2018 By Steve McMackin

Tax Reform Destroyed State and Local Tax Deductions—Fight Back

Tax reform put the screws to your state and local income tax deductions, capping them at $10,000. Many states disliked that and have been putting together workarounds. But now the IRS is creating regulations to put the kibosh on your state’s creative plans. Unless federal lawmakers change their minds, your federal deductions for state income…

Home Office with More Than One Business

December 11, 2017 By Crystal Royce

Home Office with More Than One Business

The office-in-the-home deduction produces good-to-excellent tax savings by turning personal house expenses into business deductions. Additionally, it enables you to deduct big vehicle expenses by eliminating nondeductible commuting mileage. But to qualify for the home-office deduction, you must use the office exclusively for the business or businesses for which you are claiming the deduction.

Testimonials

Crystal is amazing!

Crystal is amazing! I had many years of bad experiences with 2 other CPA’s. When I was referred to Crystal from another client of hers and met her, she was literally everything I hoped to have in a CPA! She is extremely knowledgeable and what she doesn’t know, she is not afraid to say she doesn’t and quick to find the answer. She has been very helpful in other areas of my business and I would HIGHLY recommend her to ALL my friends or anyone looking for a CPA.

Extremely knowledgeable

I had a very pleasurable time. My agent was extremely knowledgeable and polite. She should be given a raise. I contacted Mr. Oaks and he referred me to a property manager, who I hired.

No More Big Accounting Firms for Me

Crystal was referred by a mutual acquaintance and she has not disappointed. Each time I’ve met with her, I’ve been impressed by her demeanor and expertise. She strives to make you feel as though you are her only client and spends the time necessary to answer/provide explanations and clarifications to any questions posed. I am very happy to have moved on from using a large (and impersonal) SoCal accounting firm to someone local who genuinely cares about you and your business.

Reassuring to me!

Crystal Royce exudes CPA efficiency, competency, and a sincere interest in doing what is in the best interest for me; last year she took time to evaluate whether it was best for my partner and I to file jointly or separately. Crystal researches previous tax years and detects any discrepancies . Additionally, she is warmly humanistic… A big bonus!

IRS nightmare over thanks to Crystal

My family and I kept getting letters from the IRS asking for money for taxes that were already paid. I exhausted every route I could find on my own, including phone calls and letters to the IRS, and then IRS ignored all of my messages and their phone service would consistently refuse to let me speak to anyone. When they sent a letter threatening to seize our assets I immediately called Crystal Royce. Within 45 minutes she resolved the entire issue and fixed everything. I’m so grateful I went to her for help, and wish I had talked to her much sooner.

Quickbooks experts

I have had the pleasure of working with Crystal during the last year. We initially engaged with her firm on a specific project and have since become a client for all corporate tax work. Crystal is careful, thorough and easy to work with. She explains things well and has first-hand knowledge of QuickBooks which makes troubleshooting a much easier task than it has been in the past with previous CPA’s. I highly recommend the Royce CPA Firm!

The Royce CPA Firm is The Best.

Crystal Royce is a remarkable CPA – last year, my wife and I expected to pay thousands of dollars in taxes. Instead, we got a refund, and Crystal went through previous tax years and saved us hundreds more that our previous CPA’s had missed. She’s a lifesaver, and I am always happy to refer my friends, family, and fellow business owners to her.
