Deduct stock contributions that appreciated
If your small business made charity contributions throughout the year, you can deduct these from your taxes. If you want to optimize these contributions, you should donate appreciable stocks instead of cash. Your business can deduct the current worth of the stock instead of the price at which you purchased it.
The health credit forward
If your business employs fewer than ten (10) people full-time with wages that average under $25,000 per person, you can get the most benefit from this hack. To calculate your eligibility, obtain Form 8941. If your business did not owe taxes from the past year, you may have the option to carry the credit forward.
