As 2019 draws to a close, local tax professionals advise individuals who pay estimated quarterly taxes to review their annual income in order to determine if they will owe a penalty to the IRS.
Estimated tax payments are paid by business owners who operate partnerships, LLCs, sole proprietorships, and S corporations. Business income from these pass-through tax entities passes through to business owners on their personal income tax returns.
Those who operate pass-through tax entities are required to make estimated quarterly tax payments to pay income tax and self-employment tax on income that is not subject to withholding.
The IRS requires estimated quarterly tax payment to be filed by anyone who expects to owe at least $1,000 in federal income taxes. This year’s fourth quarter estimated tax payments are due on Jan. 15. Estimated taxes must also be paid quarterly to New York state.
According to Kevin Hedley, CPA, of Hedley & Co. CPA’s in Clifton Park, business owners who are in an underpayment penalty situation should consider making contributions to a retirement plan.

Business Report: Is Your Diet Decreasing Productivity?

Posted on
Maria Savino of Simple Steps Health Coaching.

By Maria Savino
Do you ever feel tired, sluggish, unproductive, and like you are struggling to get through your day? I’m sure all of us have experience this at one time or another, but the reason for it may not be what you think.
Your lack of motivation or energy is not always due to lack of sleep or your mindset. Often, low energy and decreased productivity are the results of a poor diet.
Food is fuel and the different nutrients that you receive from food are essential for your body to perform certain tasks.
For example, carbohydrates are needed for energy, protein is needed for growth, development, and tissue repair, and fats are essential for cushioning our organs and insulating the body.
When your body lacks a certain nutrient it will let you know, often through unpleasant physical symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, or irritability.
