Many clients worked from Home in 2020 and asked us whether they can deduct the expenses on their tax return. If you’re working from home for an employer, you normally can’t deduct your home office expenses.

There are two requirements for having a tax-deductible home office:

• Your home office is only used for business purposes.
  • Your home office must be used exclusively for operating your business. To meet this requirement, set up your office in a separate area of your house. Then if you get audited by the IRS, there is no doubt that your office is used exclusively for business purposes.
• Your home office is your primary place of business.
  • You need to demonstrate that your home office is the primary place you conduct your business. The IRS has clarified that you can meet clients and conduct meetings at separate office locations, but your home office must be the only location where your administrative work is completed. So if you meet with clients or work on any part of your business away from your home office, keep a journal of each specific activity undertaken and describe how it doesn’t violate the primary place-of-business rule.

Looking at these two criteria, everyone that is now required to work from home probably meets both qualifications. If you’re a W-2 employee, however, you can’t deduct your home office expenses on your tax return.

How employee can get deduction on their tax return

Here are three options for solving your problem of being a W-2 employee and qualifying to deduct your home office expenses on your tax return .

1.Become an independent contractor. The easiest way to deduct your home office expenses is by switching from being an employee to an independent contractor. With a number of firms cutting pay and hours due to the pandemic, it may be worth exploring. There’s a big warning label if you go this route, however. You will need to account for lost benefits, such as health insurance, and the additional cost of self-employment taxes. If you can meet the IRS requirements for becoming an independent contractor, it may be worth doing the math and considering all the deductions your home office may make available to you.
2.Start a side business. If becoming an independent contractor for your current employer isn’t an option, consider starting a side business. You can deduct all business-related expenses on your tax return, including your home office expenses. If you go this route, ensure your home office is in a different location in your home than your other work space.
3. Consider your entire household. Even if you don’t qualify for the home office deduction, maybe someone else living in your home does qualify. So look into your options to see if a family member can take advantage of the home office deduction.

Get reimbursed by your company

There’s no question you are picking up some of the expense of your home office with added electrical, heating, telephone, internet, and other expenses. Some companies have set up an accountable plan. You may be able to find a way to get some of your home office expense reimbursed. So if you’re stuck working as a W-2 employee, look into whether your employer offers reimbursement for home office expenses.

2020年，许多客户在家办公，并询问我们是否可以在退税中扣除费用。如果您是在家中为雇主工作，通常无法扣除家庭办公费用。

拥有免税家庭办公室有两个要求
1.您的家庭办公室仅用于商业目的。
您的家庭办公室必须专门用于经营您的业务。它不能兼作家庭媒体中心或起居室。为了满足此要求，请在房屋的单独区域中设置办公室。然后，如果您通过了IRS的审核，则毫无疑问您的办公室仅用于商业目的。
您的家庭办公室是您的主要办公地点。
2.您需要证明家庭办公室是开展业务的主要场所。美国国税局（IRS）澄清说，您可以在单独的办公室地点与客户见面并举行会议，但是您的家庭办公室必须是完成管理工作的唯一地点。因此，如果您在总部以外的地方与客户见面或从事业务的任何部分，请保留每项具体活动的日志，并描述其如何不违反主要营业地点规则。
从这两个标准来看，现在需要在家工作的每个人都可能符合这两个条件。但是，如果您是W-2员工，则无法在纳税申报单中扣除家庭办公费用。

员工如何从纳税申报单中扣除
这是解决您成为W-2雇员并有资格在纳税申报表中扣除家庭办公室费用的三种选择。

1.成为独立承包商。扣除家庭办公室费用的最简单方法是从雇员的身份转到独立的承包商。由于大流行，许多公司削减了工资和工时，这可能值得探讨。但是，如果您选择这条路线，则会有一个很大的警告标签。您将需要考虑福利损失，例如健康保险以及自雇税的额外费用。如果您能够满足IRS成为独立承包商的要求，那么可能值得做一下数学运算，并考虑您的家庭办公室可能为您提供的所有扣除额。
2.开展副业。如果您无法成为当前雇主的独立承包商，请考虑开展副业。您可以在纳税申报单中扣除所有与业务相关的费用，包括家庭办公费用。如果沿着这条路线走，请确保您的家庭办公室与其他工作空间不在家里。
3.考虑整个家庭。即使您不符合获得家庭办公室扣除的资格，也许住在您家中的其他人也符合资格。因此，请查看您的选择，以了解家庭成员是否可以利用家庭办公室扣除额。

得到公司的报销
毫无疑问，您要承担家庭办公室的一些费用，另外还要增加电费，暖气，电话，互联网和其他费用。一些公司已经制定了一个负责任的计划。您也许可以找到一种方式来偿还部分家庭办公室费用。因此，作为W-2员工工作，请调查您的雇主是否提供家庭办公费用的报销。

Based on IRS’s instruction and links included here:

There are steps people can take now to make sure their tax filing experience goes smoothly in 2021. First, they can visit the Get Ready page on IRS.gov.

Here are a few other things people can do now:

Check their withholding and make any adjustments soon
Since most taxpayers typically only have a few pay dates left this year, checking their withholding soon is especially important. It’s even more important for those who:
  • Received a smaller refund than expected after filing their 2019 taxes this year.
  • Owed an unexpected tax bill last year.
  • Experienced personal or financial changes that might change their tax liability.

Some people may owe an unexpected tax bill when they file their 2020 tax return next year, if they didn’t have enough withheld throughout the year. To avoid this kind of surprise, taxpayers should use the Tax Withholding Estimator to perform a quick paycheck or pension income checkup. Doing so helps them decide if they need to adjust their withholding or make estimated or additional tax payments now.

Gather tax documents and keep them for at least three years
Everyone should come up with a recordkeeping system. Whether it’s electronic or paper, they should use a system to keep all important information in one place. Having all needed documents on hand before they prepare their return helps them file a complete and accurate tax return. This includes:
  • Their 2019 tax return.
  • Form W-2 from employers.
  • Form 1099 from banks and other payers.
  • Forms 1095-A from the marketplace for those claiming the premium tax credit.
  • Form 1099-NEC, Nonemployee Compensation
  • Notice 1444, Your Economic Impact Payment.

Most income is taxable, including unemployment compensation, refund interest and income from the gig economy and virtual currencies. Therefore, taxpayers should also gather any documents from these types of earnings. People should keep copies of tax returns and all supporting documents for at least three years.

Confirm mailing and email addresses
To make sure forms make it to the taxpayer on time, people should confirm now that each employer, bank and other payer has the taxpayer’s current mailing address or email address. Typically, forms start arriving by mail or are available online in January.

Remember these new things when preparing for the 2021 tax filing season
  • Taxpayers may be able to claim the recovery rebate credit if they met the eligibility requirements in 2020 and one of the following applies to them:

     – They didn’t receive an Economic Impact Payment in 2020.
     – They are single and their payment was less than $1,200.
     – They are married, filed jointly for 2018 or 2019 and their payment was less than $2,400.
     – They didn’t receive $500 for each qualifying child.

  • Taxpayers who received a federal tax refund in 2020 may have been paid interest. The IRS sent interest payments to individual taxpayers who timely filed their 2019 federal income tax returns and received refunds. Most interest payments were received separately from tax refunds. Interest payments are taxable and must be reported on 2020 federal income tax returns. In January 2021, the IRS will send a Form 1099-INT, Interest Income to anyone who received interest totaling at least $10.

根据IRS：人们现在可以采取一些措施来确保其2021年的纳税申报工作顺利进行。现在可以做以下几件事：

1. 检查其预扣并尽快进行任何调整
   由于大多数纳税人今年通常只剩下几个支付日期，因此尽快检查其预扣税就显得尤为重要。对于那些谁：
   •今年提交了2019年税款后，收到的退款比预期少。
   •去年欠了一张意外的税单。
   •经历过的个人或财务变更可能会改变其应纳税额。

如果某些人全年的预扣额不足，可能会在明年提交2020年纳税申报表时欠下意想不到的税单。为避免此类意外，纳税人应使用预扣税估算器进行快速薪水检查或养老金收入检查。这样做有助于他们确定是否需要调整预扣税或现在支付估计或额外的税款。

2. 收集税务文件并将其保存至少三年
每个人都应该提出一个记录保存系统。无论是电子的还是纸质的，他们都应该使用一种系统将所有重要信息保存在一个地方。在准备纳税申报单之前准备好所有需要的文件，有助于他们提交完整，准确的纳税申报单。这包括：
•他们的2019年纳税申报表。
•雇主的W-2表。
•银行和其他付款人的1099表。
•从市场上为要求保费税收抵免的人填写表格1095-A。
•1099-NEC表格，无雇员补偿
•1444号通知，您的经济影响付款。

大多数收入应税，包括失业补偿，退还利息以及零工经济和虚拟货币的收入。因此，纳税人还应从此类收入中收集任何文件。人们应将纳税申报表和所有证明文件的副本保存至少三年。

3. 确认邮件和电子邮件地址
为了确保表格按时到达纳税人，人们现在应该确认每个雇主，银行和其他付款人都具有纳税人当前的邮寄地址或电子邮件地址。通常，表格开始通过邮寄到达，或在一月份在线提供。

4. 在为2021年报税季做准备时，请记住这些新事
•如果纳税人符合2020年的资格要求，并且他们适用以下条件之一，则可以索取回收返利抵免：

 -他们没有在2020年收到经济影响付款。
 -他们是单身，付款少于$ 1,200。
 -他们已婚，共同于2018或2019年提交，付款少于$ 2,400。
 -他们没有为每个符合条件的孩子收取$ 500。

•在2020年收到联邦退税的纳税人可能已获得利息。国税局向个别纳税人发送了利息付款，这些纳税人及时提交了2019年联邦所得税申报表并收到了退款。大多数利息付款是与退税分开收取的。利息支付是应纳税的，必须在2020年联邦所得税申报表中报告。在2021年1月，美国国税局将向所有收到至少10美元利息的人发送1099-INT表格，利息收入。

On Jan. 13, Governor Murphy signed the Pass-Through Business Alternative Income Tax Act into law. This act allows pass-through businesses to pay income taxes at the entity level instead of the personal level. This helps business owners mitigate the negative impact of the federal SALT deduction cap. It’s estimated to save New Jersey business owners $200 to $400 million annually. And it won’t cost New Jersey a dime because it’s revenue neutral for the state.

Under the act, taxpayers who earn income from pass-through businesses and pay the pass-through business alternative income tax can obtain a refundable gross income tax credit. There is no limit on the deduction of state taxes paid at the entity level under the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), only at the individual income level. Currently, pass-through business owners can only deduct up to $10,000 in state and local taxes on their personal income taxes.

For New Jersey tax purposes, income and losses of a pass-through entity are passed through to its members. However, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, pass-through entities may elect to pay a Pass-Through Business Alternative Income Tax due on the sum of each of the member’s share of distributive proceeds. The member(s) may then claim a tax credit for the amount of tax paid by the pass-through entity on their share of distributive proceeds. In CINDIE’s opinion, the new options could benefit high income NJ tax payers to Lower individual federal income tax by deducting new jersey business income tax.

Many foreigners choose to invest in US stock market and other assets. There are many great opportunities but with US tax implications. Commonly income sources from these investments are – interests, dividends, capital gain or rental income

Interest
Generally, interest income received from the US will not be taxable in the US, but rather in the country of which you are a tax resident.

Dividends
A NRA may invest in US stocks. If a US company pays you a dividend, you have to pay 30% tax on the dividend amount. This rate may be lower if a tax treaty is in place between the US and the NRA’s country.

Dividends received from foreign companies are not taxable in the US.

Capital gains
Capital gains from the sale of stocks and short-term capital gain distributions will not trigger any US tax liability. However, you will likely have to declare this income and pay tax in your home country.

Real estate
Gains from real property can be both from rental income and the eventual sale of the property after it appreciates. Both are taxable income in the US.

For rental income, you have two options:

(1) pay 30% tax of the gross rental income, with a withholding agent collecting the 30% tax, or

(2) make an election called a net basis election (“net election”) to treat income from the property as being effectively connected with a trade or business of the United States. Here you have to make quarterly estimated tax payments.

The net election is generally more beneficial. It enables you to pay taxes on the net profit, rather than the gross rental revenue.

Once you sell the real estate, a 15% tax must be withheld on the gain.

许多外国人选择投资美国股票市场和其他资产。机会很多，但是会涉及美国的税收问题。通常，这些投资的收入来源为–利息，股息，资本收益或租金收入

利息
通常，从美国获得的利息收入将不在美国征税，而应在您是纳税居民的国家征税。

交易中的股息
NRA可能会投资美国股票。如果一家美国公司向您支付股息，则您必须为股息金额支付30％的税。如果美国与NRA国家之间签署了税收协定，则该税率可能会更低。

从外国公司收到的股息在美国不征税。

资本收益
出售股票和短期资本收益分配产生的资本收益不会触发任何美国纳税义务。但是，您可能必须在本国申报此收入并缴税。

房地产
房地产收益既可以来自租金收入，也可以归因于房地产升值后的最终出售。两者都是美国的应税收入。

对于租金收入，您有两种选择：

（1）缴纳租金总收入的30％税，由扣缴义务人收取30％的税，或

（2）进行称为净基础选举的选举（“净选举”），以将来自财产的收入视为与美国的贸易或业务有效关联。在这里，您必须按季度估算纳税额。

净选举通常更有利。它使您可以对净利润而不是总租金收入纳税。

出售房地产后，必须预扣收益的15％税。

The IRS has released draft instructions for 2020 Partnership or Limited Liability Company Forms 1065 that now has the instructions on tax basis capital account reporting.  美国国税局（IRS）发布了2020年表格1065草案，该表格现在包含有关税基资本账户报告的信息。The instructions are at: www.irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/i1065–dft.pdf

Here is a good explanation to the changes: 这里有篇我喜欢的文章介绍这个变化 www.currentfederaltaxdevelopments.com/blog/2020/10/22/…

Partnership or Limited Liability Companies with simpler capital structure now needs to tighten up. 合伙制或有限责任公司资本结构更简单的公司现在需要收紧。

https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/treasury-irs-and-labor-announce-plan-to-implement-coronavirus-related-paid-leave-for-workers-and-tax-credits-for-small-and-midsize-businesses-to-swiftly-recover-the-cost-of-providing-coronavirus

Under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, employers can grant paid leave for an employee to take care of their health needs related to COVID -19 or to care for their family members. This relief helps ensure employees are not forced to choose between being paid or staying home to care for themselves, a child or other family member.

In addition to the relief for employees, businesses can claim two new refundable payroll tax credits for granting paid leave to their employees. The paid sick leave credit and paid family leave credit are available for eligible employers who pay qualified sick leave wages and/or qualified family leave wages from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, and who have fewer than 500 employees.

The paid sick leave credit and the paid family leave credit will immediately and fully reimburse employers for the cost of providing COVID-19 related leave to their employees.

Here is what employees need to know about paid leave under the CARES Act.

Paid sick leave for workers
An employer can allow  a full-time employee up to 80 hours of paid sick leave.  A part-time employee may be allowed paid sick leave for the number of hours the employee works over a two-week period, if the employee is unable to work or telework because they are:

• Subject to federal, state, or local quarantine or isolation orders related to COVID-19
• Advised by a health care provider to self-quarantine due to COVID-19
• Experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and are seeking a medical diagnosis
• Caring for a person subject to federal, state, or local quarantine orders related to COVID-19 or has been advised to self-quarantine
• Caring for a child whose school or place of care is closed or care provider is unavailable for reasons related to COVID-19
• Experiencing any other substantially similar condition

Employers pay the benefits at 100% of employee’s regular pay up to $511 per day and $5,110 in total for the care of employee’s own health.

For the care of an employee’s family members, employers pay benefits at two-thirds of the employee’s regular pay up to $200 per day and $2,000 total.

Paid family leave to care for child
An employer can give up to 10 weeks of paid family leave at two-thirds their regular pay for up to $200 per day and $10,000 total if the employee is unable to work or telework because they’re caring for a child whose:

• School or place of care is closed due to COVID-19
• Childcare provider is unavailable due to COVID-19

With two weeks of paid sick leave and 10 weeks of paid family leave combined, an employee could receive up to a total of 12 weeks up to $12,000 of paid leave to care for a child.

根据《家庭首次冠状病毒应对法》，雇主可以准许带薪休假，以照顾雇员与COVID -19有关的健康需要或照顾其家人。这种减免措施有助于确保员工不会被迫在有偿工作或留在家中照顾自己，孩子或其他家庭成员之间进行选择。

除了为员工提供救济外，企业还可以申请两个新的可退还工资税税收抵免，以准予员工带薪休假。带薪病假信贷和带薪家庭假信贷适用于在2020年4月1日至2020年12月31日期间支付合格病假工资和/或合格家庭假工资的合格雇主，并且雇员少于500人。

带薪病假信贷和带薪家庭假信贷将立即向雇主偿还向其雇员提供与COVID-19相关的假期的费用。

这是员工根据《 CARES法案》需要了解的带薪休假。

职工带薪病假
雇主可以允许全职雇员最多享受80个小时的带薪病假。如果兼职雇员因以下原因而无法工作或从事远程工作，则可以允许其在两周的工作时间内享受带薪病假：

遵守与COVID-19相关的联邦，州或当地隔离或隔离令
由于COVID-19，医疗保健提供者建议自行隔离出现COVID-19症状并正在寻求医学诊断照顾受制于与COVID-19相关的联邦，州或当地检疫命令的人，或被建议自检出于与COVID-19相关的原因，照顾孩子的学校或护理场所关闭或无法提供护理的孩子遇到任何其他基本相似的情况
雇主以员工正常工资的100％支付津贴，每天最高为511美元，总计5110美元，用于员工自身的健康护理。

为了照顾雇员的家庭成员，雇主支付的津贴为雇员正常工资的三分之二，每天不超过200美元，共计2,000美元。

带薪家庭假，照顾孩子
雇主最多可以放假10周的带薪家事假，是其正常工资的三分之二，每天最多20​​0美元，如果该雇员因为照顾一个孩子而不能工作或远程工作，则总计10,000美元。

由于COVID-19，学校或医疗机构已关闭, 由于COVID-19，无法提供托儿服务, 加上两周的带薪病假和十周的带薪家庭假，雇员最多可以享受12周的带薪休假，最高可达12,000美元。

As businesses across the U.S. and around the globe are being impacted by the economic turmoil caused by the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), the U.S. federal, state and local governments have introduced numerous relief programs to provide financial assistance. As a trusted strategic adviser, CINDIE  is committed to sharing relevant information with our clients and industry colleagues during this unprecedented time.

$2.2 Trillion Coronavirus Stimulus Bill

On March 25th, the Senate unanimously passed a historic $2.2 trillion stimulus package to combat the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. This stimulus bill is by far the largest ever proposed and meant to provide direct financial aid to individuals, hospitals, local and state governments, and businesses.

There are two parts of the stimulus bill that are particularly relevant to businesses:

1. The expansion of unemployment insurance from three to four months, as well as provision of temporary unemployment compensation.
2. The establishment of a $500 billion lending fund for businesses, cities and states.

As part of the $500 billion lending program, the U.S. Department of the Treasury is offering loans, loan guarantees, and other investments to businesses, states and municipalities. The terms include restrictions on businesses that are eligible to receive loans, and the loans cannot exceed five years. Eligibility is based on the economic impact each business experienced.

SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program

As part of its disaster assistance program, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is providing targeted, low-interest loans of up to $2 million to small businesses and non-profits impacted by the coronavirus. These loans may be used to cover payroll, accounts payable, fixed debts and other bills. The interest rate is 3.75% for small businesses and 2.75% for non-profits. Loan repayment terms vary by applicant, up to a maximum of 30 years. For more information and to apply online, please click here.

State and Local Coronavirus Small Business Assistance

States and municipalities are offering a number of relief programs and adding new resources daily. For example, New York City announced a Small Business Continuity Loan Fund, Employee Retention Grant Program and COVID-19 Response and Impact Fund. San Francisco launched a COVID-19 Small Business Resiliency Fund, and Los Angeles introduced a Small Business Micro Loan Program. Many other states and municipalities have announced similar programs. For up-to-date information on relief available in your area, please visit your governor’s website: https://www.nga.org/governors/addresses.

Eligibility

While these programs are generous, most require an assessment of economic impact on your business and the completion of an application process.

What CINDIE can do for you 

CINDIE can help by analyzing your organization’s financial status relating to assessing eligibility in support of the application of relevant grants and loans in connection with these programs. We can also assist with the grant or loan administration process, including preparing and organizing pertinent forms and supporting documents. Please contact cpa@cindiellc.com for details.

Federal Highlights:

• Tax returns are STILL due on April 15, 2020
• If there is a balance due with the 2019 income tax return, that amount DOES NOT have to be paid UNTIL July 15, 2020.
• Penalties and interest charges that would normally be assessed WILL be waived
• The 2020 Estimated Tax Payment that would normally be due on April 15 is now due on July 15.
• There is NO guidance with regard to those taxpayers who have already filed their 2019 tax returns and set up automatic payments for April 15
• There is NO guidance with regard to payroll taxes

（税表还是2020年4月15日到期。 付税在2020年7月15日之前支付该金额， 通常将免除的罚款和利息费用。 通常应在4月15日到期的2020年预付税款，现在应在7月15日到期。没有关于工资税的指导）

Treasury Secretary Mnuchin announced on March 17 a series of tax relief measures designed to assist taxpayers and tax preparers during the coronavirus pandemic. During the press conference, he announced that individuals and corporations can delay their tax payments for 90 days from the April 15 deadline: Individuals can defer up to $1 million in payments and corporations can defer up to $10 million in payments. During that time, the IRS will not charge interest or penalties. Mnuchin’s announcement did not delay the April 15 filing deadline. The IRS has not yet issued formal guidance on the policy. The AICPA is working to confirm the specifics of these actions with the Department of Treasury and IRS. We will provide updates as soon as possible. We recommend holding off on taking any action or notifying clients until official guidance comes out.

New Jersey
There is no definitive word yet on tax relief or extensions in New Jersey. Often, New Jersey follows federal guidelines. On March 16, the New Jersey Assembly passed a package of bills to address the fallout from the coronavirus (covid-19) outbreak, including A-3841, which would extend the time to file gross income tax or corporation business tax return by one month. The bills still have to be passed by the Senate and signed by Governor Murphy.
