[PRWeb May 15, 2006] http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/5/prweb385638.htm Tue, 16 May 2006 16:22:13 -0700 podcrew@extrahoop.com America reported today that recent passage of the tax bill now ready for signature by President Bush, has something for everyone, from business owners, senior citizens and working families. With the passage of the recent tax law now ready for signature by President Bush, there truly is something for everyone, from business owners, senior citizens and working families in this legislation. For Business Under the new law, small business will be allowed increased expensing for equipment purchases and related depreciation deductions, thus allowing small firms to expense $100,000 (from $25,000) through 2009. For Working Families Alternative Minimum Tax provisions extend the exemption levels though the end of 2006 but at a higher level -- $62,550 (married) and $42,500 (other). The Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) is a key issue facing the President’s Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform. For Senior Citizens The tax bill will extend the life of the 15 percent rate of tax on most capital gains and qualifying dividends for two years until the end of 2010, preventing a tax increase at the start of 2009. The rate will be reduced to zero in 2008 for taxpayers in the 10- and 15-percent tax brackets. According to a recent report by the Tax Foundation, a sizable percentage of taxpayers who claim dividend and capital gain income are in fact over age 55, and the majority of taxpayers over age 55 claim some form of capital gains or dividend income. The mission of the Tax Foundation is to educate taxpayers about sound tax policy and the size of the tax burden borne by Americans at all levels of government. From its founding in 1937, the Tax Foundation has been grounded in the belief that the dissemination of basic information about government finance is the foundation of sound policy in a free society. For a complete copy of the Tax Foundation’s report, you can visit their web site at www.taxfoundation.org President Bush has been quoted as saying, "I applaud the Senate for passing important tax relief that will help keep our economy strong and growing." The President has for many weeks been pressuring Capital Hill lawmakers to reach a deal, which included the investment tax cuts, despite their cost in terms of revenues. The President added, "This legislation prevents an enormous tax hike that the American people do not want and would not welcome. The bill will extend policies that have helped our economy flourish." The President also added that his tax policies have led to 18 straight quarters of economic growth, including 4.8 percent growth in the last quarter.

[PRWeb May 8, 2006] http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/5/prweb382652.htm Wed, 10 May 2006 10:47:47 -0700 podcrew@extrahoop.com America reported today that it is calling on the U.S. House of Representatives to pass legislation adopting a 2006 refundable Fuel Tax Credit aimed at working families hardest hit by recent escalating gas prices. With nearly one full third of the retail price of a gallon of gasoline representing taxes, congress can provide relief in the form of a refundable fuel tax credit to working families for tax year 2006. The proposal would call for a tax refund of $250 per automobile per household that could be claimed on the 2006 tax return next tax season. When considering that fuel taxes (excise and sales tax alike) are added to the price of a gallon of gasoline based upon the cost per gallon of the fuel, state and federal government who collect these taxes are seeing more revenue as the price of oil continues to rise. Accordingly the higher the price of oil, the more in excise taxes collected by government. Working families are among the hardest hit as well as lower income families who must bear the burden of these rising prices and increased tax revenues collected in the form of excise and sales tax revenues. Each local, and state government as well as the federal government has benefited in increased revenues from gasoline taxes and if elected officials want to provide working families with some relief of the sticker shock at the pump, they could easily pass a tax bill to provide for a small portion of these tax revenues to be refunded to the working families of America. Tax Smart America went on to state, “We are encouraging consumer groups, public interest groups, and working families alike to join the call for temporary tax relief by asking congress and every state legislature alike to provide for some economic relief in providing for a refundable tax credit to working Americans. We plan to send our proposal later this week to the House of Representatives and our local congressional representatives to consider this bill before the end of the year and the next tax filing season”. This according to Daniel Love, President of Tax Smart America whose headquarters are located in San Diego, California. A recent study of fuel taxes for 2005 was published by the Tax Foundation, in which the amounts of taxes per capita for each state reflect the burden on Americans in what they are paying for at the pump with every gallon of gasoline they purchase.

[PRWeb May 1, 2006] http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/5/prweb379635.htm Tue, 2 May 2006 16:05:31 -0700 podcrew@extrahoop.com Tax Smart America reported today that passage of the Energy Tax Incentives Act of 2005 provides for two groups of tax credits for home owners who make improvements related to energy-efficiency for tax years 2006 and 2007. The Energy Tax Incentives Act of 2005 provides for two groups of tax credits for homeowners who make improvements related to energy-efficiency. First any energy-efficiency improvement to the building envelope (exterior of the home) such as doors, windows, or insulation for example and powering equipment. Second, solar panels and other such systems that power homes where the system improves the energy-efficiency may also qualify for tax credits. Tax credits are only available for homeowners under this bill and only apply to the primary residence of the taxpayer. A homeowner would be allowed to claim a tax credit of up to $500 for making such home improvements that increase the energy-efficiency of the home under the new tax bill. Some examples of insulation improvements include systems that reduce heat loss or heat gain, exterior windows including skylights and exterior energy-efficient doors. Another example is solar water heating systems whereby a homeowner can obtain a tax credit of up to 30% of expenditures with a maximum of a $2,000 tax credit for installation of these systems to the home. (An exception to this credit is for systems added to the home to heat swimming pools and hot tubs. However these may still be claimed as “medical” expenses if the taxpayer meets the test) In addition to these federal tax credits, many states are now introducing legislation to pass laws at the state level to provide energy-efficient tax credits to homeowners for such improvements. With rising oil costs and the related costs to consumers for all forms of energy, the next few years may bring an entire volume of such local, state and federal laws to ease the burden on businesses and consumers alike. A complete copy of the energy savings report can be obtained from the Alliance to Save Energy, a Washington D.C. nonprofit coalition of business, environmental, government and consumer groups whose purpose is to advocate energy-efficiency policies that reduce costs of energy to society. You can visit the organizations web site at www.ase.org Tax Smart America went on to state “We see this as an important step in providing lower taxes to homeowners and we support all efforts at the state level to follow this example. We also support such measures for business owners who consume large amounts of energy and we will seek ways to educate the tax professional community on these important tax credits in the months ahead”, this according to Daniel Love, President and spokesman for Tax Smart America.

Tax Smart America has launched its business center license program in cooperation with Entrepreneur magazine with advertising on the popular magazines website.

A hallmark of the business center model under the brand Tax Smart America is its ability to offer a successful business plan and operating system for tax professionals that allow for a dynamic year round practice, with an emphasis on providing a wide range of valuable services offered to small business owners. With estimates reported at more than 60,000 new business start ups each month, the company believes its plans are well positioned to attract tax professionals of all types away from competitors who seem to remain fixed on the more traditional franchise and corporate-owned store model, as well as independent tax firms who desire the benefits offered in the business license models. Under a Business Center License Program, the licensee remains free at every level to operate their business in the best manner that suits them. With no weekly or monthly reporting requirements, no strict corporate policies to follow, and with no expensive royalty fees, surcharges, and large capital investment, the business owner truly is Their Own Boss.
