Case Upon - Save Money on Taxes - Let Uncle Sam Pay for Your Fun!
Up until twenty years ago, anyone who won a lawsuit as a result of a claim involving worker’s compensation, wrongful death or accident had to accept a lump sum payment as their compensation. The payment would be intended to be invested, with the beneficiary living off of the proceeds for as long as their recovery was expected to take. In many cases, this type of settlement works fine, but in other cases, the results

The foreign currency trading market is the trading of one currency against another. Most of the major pairs include the US dollar (USD). The main players are the British pound (GBP), the Euro (EUR), the Japanese Yen (JPY), the Swiss franc (CHF), plus the Australian, New Zealand and Canadian dollars (AUD, NZD, and CAD).Currencies fluctuate because of economic and political reasons, even the interest rates of di
O.K. You’ve been working really hard on these lessons. Now its time for some fun. Are you with me? Imagine if you could spend time with friends, eating, drinking and seeing shows and your company could foot the bill? Wouldn’t that be GREAT! Fasten your seat belt, we’re going on a (tax-deductible) journey…

Our first stop is meals. There are several great ways to deduct your meals. The first is to turn your social outings into business meetings. No Fun, you say. Watch this, I say. Many of my lunches are already spent with colleagues and associates. That’s the way it is when you’re in business for yourself. You start spending more and more time with business partners and associates. Asset Protection Techniques
Well, if I have lunch or dinner with a friend, that’s NOT tax deductible. But, if I discuss business with that same person, suddenly it becomes a deductible expense. And what does it take to officially discuss business? The IRS says that that the following conversation will suffice:
Your Associate: “How’s Business?”
Your Reply: “Great, but I could always use more business” (with the inherent request for referrals) That’s it. You’ve just turned a social gathering into a legitimate business meeting and the meal becomes 50% deductible. Don’t forget to document it properly.
What about having a meal with your spouse or “significant other.” We’ll the IRS is pretty darn smart, so they aren’t about to let use write off all our romantic dates. Yet they realize that when two couples go out for a meal, that’s a great time to discuss business in a relaxed setting. So the rule is that if you and your spouse enjoy a meal with another couple and you have that same business discussion outlined above, the meal is (50%) deductible. You want more? No problem.

How about dinner and a show. Or what about a full day on the golf course? The rule is that if you have a business meeting that is followed by entertainment, or entertainment that is followed by a business meeting, that’s a deductible expense. The IRS wants to see that you have a table or some other flat surface available to you during the meeting, so that you can sign documents, etc. Same thing goes for skiing, the movies or even a day at the beach. How about a ball game or even the Super Bowl? Just precede or follow it with a business meeting and document what you discussed.

We all know of people who rarely see the inside of an office.

Debt consolidation has become big business in this country over the last several years. Consumers with the good conscience to avoid filing for bankruptcy are turning to debt consolidation in hopes of saving their credit and getting out of debt sooner. But is it really necessary to turn to a debt consolidation company? Critics of the programs offered through most debt consolidation companies would, of course, tell yo

Abbey Swisher didn't necessarily want to become a fashion designer or consider fashion design degrees to be her forte in college until she was studying interior design and took an elective in fashion.

"I'd come into class with outfits I had made, and people would be like, 'Abbey, why don't you become a fashion designer?'"She took the hint, switche
One more, you say. Fine here it is. Imagine that you work for a large insurance company or law firm. You’re involved in a big case and you’re up against a touch deadline. Your boss comes in toward the end of the day and says, “I need you to work though dinner tonight- we’ve got to come in under that deadline. Don’t go home for dinner, just order in, on the firm”. Its called “supper money” In essence, your boss has allowed the company you work for to buy your dinner.
Your own company can do the same for you. Just don’t forget to document your expenses properly.
