Take 10 minutes to read the interview with Jeff Heegaard on the next economy in the St Paul and Minneapolis area.  Here’s  one paragraph from the article.

“In many ways I think we need to become like new immigrants in our own country. New immigrants will try anything, do anything, to get established and support their families. They have a can-do spirit, and I think all of us need more of that. We can do it; we’re blessed with great resources everywhere, and we can do it—as much as we complain about all of the things that are going wrong, we really can be a piece of the solution as the next economy grows–locally, regionally, nationally, and globally.”

Small Business Tax Help

New 2011 Income Tax Webinar

SCORE Minneapolis has just released the 2011 version of “Income Taxes for Small Businesses”.   For new entrepreneurs it will help take the mystery out of taxes!  The webinar covers two broad topics:

First, the Form 1040, Schedule C Profit and Loss for a Business.  It discusses all of the unusual items an entrepreneur may encounter as they prepare for their April 15 tax filing date, including use of personal cars and home office expenses,  expensing capital equipment cost versus depreciation, independent contractors, etc.

Second, it covers the business owner’s personal Form 1040 by integrating the Schedule C.  The business is made aware of their options for Self-Employed Retirement Plans and Health Insurance coverage, plus Self-Employed taxes for Social Security and Medicare.

This sixty-six minute discussion will not make you a tax expert, but will let you approach taxes with a level of knowledge needed to take advantage of deductions available to you.  It also points out areas where your accountant can be of help.
