As your tax advisor, we are always watching for opportunities to help you lessen your tax burden. There are more tax credits available in 2010 than in many recent years for small and mid-sized businesses, but taking advantage of many of them requires proper planning.
Steve Albert, Managing Partner of our Tax Practice, provides weekly insight here: This week we talk specifically to businesses in hiring mode.

IRS Scam Alert
October 25, 2010 | Subscribe to our RSS Feed
The IRS has issued a warning about a fraudulent scheme targeting Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) users. The scheme uses an e-mail claiming that the user’s tax payment was rejected and directs the user to a website for additional information. The website contains malware that will attempt to infect the user’s computer.
The IRS does not initiate taxpayer communications through e-mail. If anyone receives a message claiming to be from the IRS or EFTPS, do not reply to the sender, access links on the site or submit any information to them. Report and identify this or other phishing, e-mail scams and bogus IRS websites by forwarding the e-mail or URL information to the IRS at phishing@irs.gov.

For businesses “going green,” you may be eligible for the Green Building Tax Credit from the state of Maryland. You are eligible for the program if your are constructing or rehabbing a building that conforms to specific standards intending to save energy.
The program credits have all been allocated for 2010. However, the state has indicated that there will be money available in 2011. Stay tuned, as you will have to apply in advance for these credits.
If the credit you receive is more than your state tax liability, the unused credit may be carried forward for the next ten years.
