Louisville Tax Planning CPA Year End Accounting Checklist For Businesses Updated

Dec 20, 2023

Associates in Accounting, CPA (502-451-8678), a Louisville-based accounting firm, has announced its year-end accounting checklist and tax planning services to help local businesses reduce their tax liabilities and maximize profitability.

Louisville, United States - December 20, 2023 —

The Louisville tax planning CPA firm released the year-end accounting checklist ahead of the upcoming tax season and will provide expert advice on maximizing tax deductions before the filing deadline. With proactive planning, Associates in Accounting, CPA can help businesses minimize obligations, properly organize their records, and uncover missed tax reduction opportunities.

More details can be found at https://associatesinaccountingcpa.com

The update aligns with advice from several financial institutions and regulators that local businesses should complete their tax planning and projections no later than the 31st of December. By reviewing income sources, equipment purchases, employee bonuses, and other end-of-year transactions, businesses can identify ways to lower their tax burden under current regulations.

Many US business owners potentially overpay on their taxes, often due to missed deductions and inadequate accounting practices. For example, a study by Xero found that 73% of freelancers don’t claim any business deductions, leading to unnecessary tax overpayments. In addition to its year-end checklist, Associates in Accounting offers customized guidance on bonus depreciation, tax status changes, deferred income, and company structure. A team of CPAs helps identify potential deductions and other ways to reduce tax obligations while ensuring businesses are audit-ready by the deadline.

Some areas the firm analyzes during year-end planning include equipment and property depreciation, interest expenses, employee benefits, retirement plan contributions, charitable donations, and carryover losses from prior years. Taking the time to evaluate all eligible business expenses and transactions is essential, explains Associates in Accounting.

In addition to pinpointing deduction opportunities, Associates in Accounting CPA also ensure proper income classification. Determining what qualifies as ordinary income versus capital gains directly impacts how much clients pay. Correctly categorizing foreign-earned income and special income types are other areas in which Associates in Accounting guides business owners.

Maroons eye solo lead in UAAP men’s basketball

TEAM standings: NU (5-2); UP (5-2); Adamson (4-3); UST (4-3); FEU (4-3); La Salle (3-4); Ateneo (3-4); UE (0-7) University of the Philippines (UP) aims to take one step ahead of the pack when it battles University of Santo Tomas (UST) in the UAAP Season 89 men’s basketball tournament at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City on Wednesday. Game time is 5 p.m. The Fighting Maroons currently share the No. 1 spot in the team standings with idle National University (NU) with identical 5-win, 2-loss records. A win by the Fighting Maroons will give them the solo lead but as setback would drop them in a tie with UST in second place. UP defeated University of the East (UE) last Saturday, 91-81, to end the first round with three straight wins. Against the winless Red Warriors, the Fighting Maroons were led by James Payosing with 16 points and 12 rebounds, and Gani Stevens with 12 points and nine boards. “All the things we went through contribute to our growth,” said head coach Goldwin Monteverde. “We’re going to talk about our adjustments but everything, good or bad, it’s still a learning experience for the team which we need toward the second round.” UST is also coming off an impressive win last Saturday as it demolished Ateneo, 80-68. Collins Akowe powered the Growling Tigers with 18 points and 15 rebounds while Mark Llemit and Amiel Acido chipped in 15 points apiece. “We’ll just stick to the system and stay ready because sometimes one of our players wouldn’t find their rhythm but others step up,” said UST assistant coach Japs Cuan. In the 2:30 p.m. curtain-raiser, UE aims to score its first win of the season when it faces defending champion De La Salle University.

Many contenders chasing champion Knicks

Many contenders chasing champion Knicks

LEBRON James went to Philadelphia. Giannis Antetokounmpo moved to Miami. Kawhi Leonard returned to Toronto. A dozen or so former All-Star selections, the majority of them being former All-NBA picks, changed addresses this offseason as well. And they’re all chasing the New York Knicks. The 81st season of NBA play starts on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) with a tripleheader, highlighted by James and the 76ers heading to New York to face Jalen Brunson and the champion Knicks. They’ll get their championship rings before the game, see a banner swaying from the ceiling of Madison Square Garden and then get down to the task of doing something that nobody in the NBA has done for nearly a decade — repeat as title winners. The Knicks became the NBA’s eighth different champion in the last eight years, a run unprecedented in league history. They’re not the favorites to win the title this season; that role is shared by Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Oklahoma City Thunder. But the Knicks weren’t expected to win it all last season either, and NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) Jalen Brunson points to the title as proof that words don’t have to matter. “There’s only potential distractions when you read and believe what people are saying,” Brunson said. “So, no matter what’s being said and no matter what’s been talked about, consistently or not, you believe what you want to believe, you hear what you want to hear. It’s on us as teammates, and individuals and professionals to understand what the nature of it is. ... The way we won was just because of how connected we were as a group. We’ve got to keep that.” There is no shortage of legitimate contenders, on both sides of the league. In the Eastern Conference, four of the last eight NBA Finals MVPs changed uniforms — Leonard returning to Toronto, Antetokounmpo going to Miami, and James and Jaylen Brown joining the Sixers. Detroit and Cleveland brought their rosters back virtually intact, as did the Knicks. Boston will plug Paul George into the hole created by Brown moving to Philadelphia and pair him with Jayson Tatum. Indiana gets Tyrese Haliburton back for the first time since losing Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals and expects to contend again. “From a team perspective, we don’t have any conversations about anything but winning a championship. That’s our goal. There’s nothing more to talk about,” Haliburton said. “There are no small wins. To me, the year’s successful if you win a championship. If not, it’s not.” And the Western Conference, as always, is loaded. Wembenyama and Gilgeous-Alexander are two of the game’s biggest stars, and the Spurs and Thunder lead the West pack. Nikola Jokic, always considered a serious contender for MVP honors, will try to get Denver back into title contention. Golden State still has Stephen Curry, the Los Angeles Lakers still have Luka Doncic, Houston is expected to contend with Kevin Durant leading the way, Portland finally will have Damian Lillard in uniform and Minnesota put together what’s expected to be an elite backcourt by pairing LaMelo Ball with Anthony Edwards. “New beginnings,” Ball said. “It’s literally a new story. We’re all excited here. It’s going to be fun.” The Spurs got to the NBA Finals last season after winning a Game 7 in Oklahoma City (OKC), ending hopes the Thunder had of being the league’s first back-to-back champion since the Warriors did it in 2017 and 2018. That loss, for certain, stung the Thunder. But the offseason in OKC was about getting ready for 29 opponents, not just the one in San Antonio. “We need to make sure that what we are doing is broad enough that it gives us a chance to be competitive across opponents, including ones that we are not aware that are going to be really good teams. That happens every single year,” Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. “And so we need to be laser-focused on ourselves. We need to take the lessons from that series, for sure, and we did. But it’s certainly not something that we overcorrect for because you end up chasing your shadow, and it prevents you from being your best as you move forward.” There are six new coaches this season: Dusty May took his NCAA title won last spring with Michigan and moved to Dallas, Micah Nori takes over in Portland, Tiago Splitter will coach Chicago, Taylor Jenkins was tabbed to oversee the post-Giannis rebuild in Milwaukee, Sean Sweeney got the job in Orlando to replace Jamahl Mosley and Mosley will coach New Orleans. The NBA Cup final will move from Las Vegas to Indianapolis this year, the All-Star weekend is in Phoenix and there’s a No. 1 draft pick in AJ Dybantsa, who already is turning heads in Washington. But all eyes will eventually turn to June, and whoever will be the next team to hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy.“We did something great last year,” Knicks wing Mikal Bridges said. “That was last year. I think the biggest thing coming into this year is that we know what it takes.”
