Most economic reports are increasinglyfavorable for the
homebuilding industry for
2011.
Economic growth and improvement in theunemployment rates are
expected to be slow...
but at least they are heading in the right direction. So, it
looks like
weve survived the worst of it!
The CHBA is probably still a year away from continuing our
Annual
Clermont Homeshow but we still have a number of
activities/events
in the next several months that will keep our members
interested
and in the loop.
Please plan on joining us at the next General Membership
meeting
in March to network and re-aquaint yourself with all of the
Buildersand Associates in the CHBA.
Thanks and have a prosperous 2011

Tax News You Can Use
Small Business Jobs Act Offers Tax Cuts and a Surprise Health
Insurance Deduction
On September 27, 2010 President Obama signed the Small Business
Jobs Act of 2010. While the law focused onexpanding credit for
small businesses, it includes several tax provisions to stimulate
the economy by encouraging
businesses like yours to buy new equipment and to help save tax
dollars when you pay for your employees or your
own health insurance.
The new law extends the 50% bonus depreciation allowance,
retroactive to January 1, 2010, through the
end of the year. This means you can deduct 50% of the cost of
qualifying equipment up front, plus the
regular depreciation you would otherwise claim on the remaining
50% of the equipments basis.
The law also extends the $8,000 bonus depreciation allowance for
new passenger vehicles. Under the old
law, your rst-year deduction was limited to $3,060. The new law
raises that limit to as high as $11,060.
The law hikes the rst-year expensing allowance for eligible
property you place in service in 2010. Unde
the old law, you could deduct up to $250,000 in new equipment,
with the deduction phasing out as your
income tops $800,000. Under the new law, you can deduct up to
$500,000, and the phase-out threshold goe
all the way up to $2 million.
The law increased the current deduction for new business
start-up costs from $5,000 to $10,000 for 2010.
If you as an employer pay at least half of the premiums for
single health insurance coverage for your
employees, you may be able to claim a credit during 2010 2013
equal to a maximum of $35% of the
premiums paid.
The act also included a tax break for sole proprietors who pay
for their own health insurance.
Under previous law, you could deduct self-employed health
insurance premiums as an adjustment to gross
income on Page 1 of your Form 1040. That deduction was limited
to your net income from self-employment --
generally, the net income you report on Schedule C. Any excess
premium was deductible as a medical expense on
Schedule A -- but that deduction was limited to the amount of
total medical/dental expenses exceeding 7.5% of you
gross income. And in either case, eligible premiums cut your
income tax but not your self-employment tax.
The new law, however, lets you deduct premiums you pay for
yourself, your spouse, and dependent children up
to age 26, directly on Schedule C. This means youll avoid
self-employment tax as well as income tax on thosepremiums.
The new break is limited to 2010 only. If youd like even more
savings, you can consider a medical expense
reimbursement plan or Health Savings Accounts in conjunction
with your health insurance benets.
These are just the hi-lites of this tax legislation. If you
would like to discuss any of these topics and how they can
be used to rescue tax dollars that you dont have to pay, please
contact Dave at AccounTax at 528-5566 or dat.
