IRS destaca información y recursos gratuitos en reconocimiento de la Semana Nacional de la Pequeña Empresa

WASHINGTON — Como parte de la Semana Nacional de la Pequeña Empresa, del 30 de abril al 6 de mayo, el Servicio de Impuestos Internos (IRS) destacará los beneficios tributarios y recursos para ayudar a quienes buscan iniciar un negocio.

La Semana Nacional de la Pequeña Empresa es un esfuerzo anual dirigido por la Agencia Federal de Pequeños Negocios para reconocer el trabajo duro, el ingenio y la dedicación de las pequeñas empresas de Estados Unidos y para celebrar sus contribuciones a la economía. Para celebrar esta semana especial, el IRS tiene una variedad de recursos disponibles para los propietarios de pequeñas empresas para ayudarles a entender y cumplir con sus responsabilidades tributarias. La próxima semana, el IRS destacará algunos de estos recursos y @IRSnews también planifica un chat especial en Twitter el jueves.

A la hora de crear una empresa, es importante tener en cuenta lo siguiente:

Número de Identificación de Empleador

La mayoría de los empresarios necesitan un Número de Identificación de Empleador (EIN). Es un número permanente y puede usarse para la mayoría de las necesidades de la empresa, desde abrir cuentas bancarias hasta presentar una declaración de la renta por correo. Los empresarios pueden obtener su EIN inmediatamente solicitándolo por Internet en IRS.gov sin costo alguno.

Estructura empresarial

Los contribuyentes deben decidir qué forma de entidad empresarial establecer al iniciar un negocio. Esto ayuda a determinar qué formulario debe presentarse. Las estructuras empresariales más comunes son:

  • Dueños únicos - Cuando una persona es dueño de un negocio no constituido en sociedad.
  • Sociedades colectivas - La relación entre dos o más personas para hacer comercio o negocio.
  • Sociedades anónimas - Al constituir una sociedad anónima, los posibles accionistas intercambian dinero, propiedades o ambas cosas por el capital social de la sociedad.
  • Sociedades anónimas de tipo S: son sociedades que optan por transferir los ingresos, las pérdidas, las deducciones y los créditos corporativos a sus accionistas a efectos del impuesto federal.
  • Compañía de responsabilidad limitada (LLC) - Están permitidas por la legislación estatal y pueden estar sujetas a diferentes normativas. El IRS tratará una LLC como una corporación, sociedad o como parte de la declaración de impuestos del propietario (por ejemplo, propietario único) dependiendo de las elecciones hechas por la LLC y su número de miembros.

Entender los impuestos empresariales

Por ley, todos tenemos que pagar impuestos a medida que obtenemos ingresos. Para los propietarios de pequeñas empresas y los trabajadores por cuenta propia, eso suele significar hacer pagos trimestrales de impuestos estimados a medida que ganan o reciben ingresos durante el año. El tipo de negocio que se explota determina qué impuestos deben pagarse y cómo hacerlo. Los cuatro tipos generales de impuestos empresariales son:

  • Impuestos sobre los ingresos: todas las empresas, excepto las sociedades colectivas, deben presentar una declaración anual de impuestos sobre los ingresos. Las sociedades colectivas presentan una declaración informativa.
  • Impuesto sobre el trabajo por cuenta propia - Se trata de un impuesto del Seguro Social y Medicare que afecta principalmente a las personas que trabajan por cuenta propia. Los pagos contribuyen a la cobertura individual del sistema del Seguro Social.
  • Impuesto sobre el empleo - Cuando las pequeñas empresas tienen empleados, la empresa tiene ciertas responsabilidades de impuestos sobre el empleo que debe pagar y formularios que debe presentar.
  • Impuestos especiales - Los impuestos especiales afectan a diversos bienes, servicios y actividades. Estos impuestos pueden aplicarse al fabricante, al minorista o al consumidor, dependiendo del impuesto específico.

Llevar bien los registros

Además de ayudar en la preparación de la declaración de impuestos, mantener registros bien organizados (en inglés) también puede ayudar a las pequeñas empresas a preparar estados financieros, identificar fuentes de ingresos, hacer un seguimiento de los gastos deducibles y supervisar su progreso, entre otras ventajas. Los contribuyentes deben planificar el mantenimiento de sus registros durante al menos tres años.

Opciones de año tributario

Un "año tributario" es un periodo contable anual para declarar ingresos y gastos. Las pequeñas empresas deben calcular sus ingresos imponibles basándose en un año tributario y pueden elegir entre:

  • Año calendario - 12 meses consecutivos que comienzan el 1ro de enero y terminan el 31 de diciembre.
  • Año tributario - 12 meses consecutivos que terminan el último día de cualquier mes excepto diciembre. Un año tributario de 52-53 semanas es un año tributario que varía de 52 a 53 semanas pero que no tiene que terminar el último día de un mes.

IRS highlights information and free resources in recognition of National Small Business Week

IRS YouTube Videos
IRS Small Business Self-Employed Tax CenterEnglish | ASL

WASHINGTON – As part of National Small Business Week, April 30 to May 6, the Internal Revenue Service is highlighting tax benefits and resources to help those looking to start a business.

National Small Business Week is an annual effort led by the Small Business Administration to recognize the hard work, ingenuity and dedication of America's small businesses and to celebrate their contributions to the economy. To support the special week, the IRS has a variety of resources available for small business owners to help them understand and meet their tax responsibilities. Next week, the IRS will be highlighting some of these resources, and @IRSnews also plans a special Twitter chat on Thursday.

When choosing to start a business, it's important to consider the following:

Employer Identification Number
Most business owners will need an Employer Identification Number (EIN). It's a permanent number and can be used for most business needs, from opening bank accounts to filing a tax return by mail. Business owners can get their EIN immediately by applying online at IRS.gov at no cost.

Business structure
Taxpayers must decide what form of business entity to establish when starting a business. This helps determine which income tax return form must be filed. The most common business structures are:

  • Sole proprietorship - When an individual owns an unincorporated business by themselves.
  • Partnerships - The relationship between two or more people to do trade or business.
  • Corporations - In forming a corporation, prospective shareholders exchange money, property or both for the corporation's capital stock.
  • S Corporations - Are corporations that elect to pass corporate income, losses, deductions and credits through to their shareholders for federal tax purposes.
  • Limited Liability Company (LLC) – Are allowed by state statute and may be subject to different regulations. The IRS will treat an LLC as either a corporation or a partnership, or as part of the owner's tax return (e.g., sole proprietorship), depending on elections made by the LLC and its number of members.

Understand business taxes
By law, everyone must pay taxes as they earn income. For small business owners and self-employed people, that usually means making quarterly estimated tax payments as their business earns or receives income during the year. The form of business being operated determines what taxes must be paid and how to pay them. The four general types of business taxes are:

  • Income tax - All businesses except partnerships must file an annual income tax return. Partnerships file an information return.
  • Self-employment tax - Is a Social Security and Medicare tax primarily for individuals who work for themselves. Payments contribute to the individual's coverage under the Social Security system.
  • Employment tax - When small businesses have employees, the business has certain employment tax responsibilities that it must pay and forms it must file.
  • Excise tax – Excise taxes are imposed on various goods, services and activities. Such taxes may be imposed on the manufacturer, retailer or consumer, depending on the specific tax.

Good recordkeeping
In addition to helping with tax return preparation, maintaining well-organized records can also help small businesses prepare financial statements, identify sources of income, keep track of deductible expenses and monitor their progress, among other benefits. Taxpayers should plan to maintain their records for at least three years.

Business year options
A "tax year" is an annual accounting period for reporting income and expenses. Small businesses must figure their taxable income based on a tax year and can choose between:

  • Calendar year - 12 consecutive months beginning January 1 and ending December 31.
  • Fiscal year - 12 consecutive months ending on the last day of any month except December. A 52 to 53 week tax year is a fiscal tax year that varies from 52 to 53 weeks but does not have to end on the last day of a month.

IRS seeking applications for TCE and VITA grants; organizations provide free tax return help for seniors, underserved

WASHINGTON — The IRS is accepting applications for the Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) and Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) grant, which allows eligible organizations to apply for annual funding to provide free federal tax return preparation assistance for up to three years.

Grants.gov is accepting applications May 01, 2023, through May 31, 2023, for TCE and VITA grant opportunities. The application packages and guidelines are available on IRS.gov. In 2022, the IRS awarded 39 TCE grantees $11 million and 305 VITA grantees $30 million. Last year, the two grant programs helped taxpayers file more than 1.8 million tax returns nationwide.

The IRS established the TCE program in 1978 to provide tax counseling and return preparation to persons that are generally 60 years of age or older. The IRS delivers training and technical assistance to senior communities across the nation. For more information visit the TCE webpage on IRS.gov.

The VITA grant program was established in 2007 to supplement the VITA program created in 1969. VITA provides free tax filing help to underserved communities. The grant program enables VITA to extend services to underserved populations in the hardest-to-reach urban and non-urban areas to increase the ability of targeted taxpayers to file returns electronically, to enhance training of volunteers and to improve the accuracy rate of returns prepared at VITA sites. For more information visit the VITA webpage on IRS.gov.
