Which tax programs are worth your time?

Nine questions about how your business actually operates. You get back the federal programs that fit your situation, what each one is generally worth, and the documents to pull together before you talk to a tax professional. Nothing is stored unless you choose to send it to us at the end.

1. What kind of business do you run?

2. How many people do you employ?

3. Do any of your employees regularly receive tips from customers?

4. Roughly what have you spent on equipment, vehicles, machinery, or technology in the last 24 months?

5. Do you own the building you operate from?

6. If you own it, when did you buy or build it?

7. Does your business develop or meaningfully improve products, formulas, software, or production processes, including by trial and error?

8. Are any of these on your plan for the next 24 months?

Installing solar on commercial property Building or expanding a production facility A major equipment purchase Selling the business or the building

9. Do you regularly hire veterans, people who have been unemployed long term, or people receiving public assistance?

This is educational information, not tax advice. Big Brain Funding is not a CPA firm, an enrolled agent, or a tax preparer. We do not prepare, file, or sign tax returns, and we do not determine whether any business is eligible for any tax program. Eligibility depends on facts specific to your business and on tax law that changes. Nothing here is a promise of a refund, a credit, or a deduction amount. Confirm everything with a licensed CPA or enrolled agent before you file or amend a return.
