Bette Hochberger, CPA, CGMAGood Tax Planning Starts With Good Record-KeepingHi, I'm Bette Hochberger, CPA, CGMA, and I will talk a little about how we get into tax planning. Honestly, the best way to start is to keep good records. That may sound like you're not really doing anything, but you are. Because if you think about it, many times, people ask me, "Oh, how do I lower my taxes?" Well, are you taking all the expenses you can take and that you have spent money on? So again, we talked about tax evasion before. We're not making up expenses; that's not what we're doing. We're actually keeping track...2023-08-0805 minBette Hochberger, CPA, CGMAFinance Friday With Vishal MahtaniHi, I’m Bette Hochberger, CPA, CGMA, and on today's Finance Friday, we have Vishal Mahtani, a Digital Marketer and serial entrepreneur.

I'm Bette Hochberger, CPA, CGMA. Today I’m going to talk about extensions. We have the saying, "An extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay." This makes perfect sense to accountants and probably sounds like a bunch of gibberish to everybody else.
During tax season, many people will say, "Oh, I'm not ready." Maybe they're not emotionally ready to handle dealing with their taxes. Maybe they don't have everything they need yet to file their taxes, which happens if you're a business owner or if you're an investor, especially if...2023-03-1405 minBette Hochberger, CPA, CGMAE-Filing vs. Paper FilingHey everyone, I’m Bette Hochberger, CPA, CGMA.

Electronically filing, or e-filing is the process of submitting your tax return to the IRS over the internet.

If you are a small business, your tax return is also due April 18th - but Multimember LLCs, S-Corporations, and partnerships must file tax ret...2023-03-0203 minBette Hochberger, CPA, CGMADon't Expect Form 1099-K From Venmo!Hi, I'm Bette Hochberger, CPA, CGMA, and I will discuss the news we've all been raving about today! So, it looks like the IRS announced that there would be a delay in implementing the $600 reporting threshold for third-party payment platforms' Form 1099-K. I'm sure you're wondering, "What is a 1099-k form, and what are third-party payment platforms?"
Third-party payment platforms include: Venmo eBay Paypal Cash App Zelle And more What is Form 1099-K?
This form is an IRS information reporting form.

Today I will explain Form 1098-T and what that means for college students. Let’s go ahead and jump in! What is Form 1098-T? Your college or career school may be sending you (or already has sent you) a 1098-T form. Please don’t worry, because it may be a good thing. Form 1098-T is a Tuition Statement to report qualified tuition and related educational expenses to you and the IRS. So, why might receiving this form be a good thing? If you are a current student or recent graduate who has received Form 1...2023-03-0204 minBette Hochberger, CPA, CGMABenefits of Blockchain and Web3Hey everyone, I’m Bette Hochberger, CPA, CGMA, and today I will explain the meaning behind Web3 and Blockchain technology.

And today, we’re talking about the difference between a tax deduction and a tax credit. People often don’t know the difference. They don’t realize these are two different things, but they are.

So, for example, if you owe a hundred dollars in taxes and you have a hundred-dollar tax credit, you would owe zero in taxes, right? So the tax credits will eliminate those taxes well, eliminate up to the dol...2021-07-1303 minBette Hochberger, CPA, CGMA6 Reasons Why Your Start-Up Needs A CPAHi, I'm Bette Hochberger, CPA CGMA, and on today's #BusinessQuickie, we're going to talk about six reasons why your #startup needs a #CPA.
