Possibly good businesses to have would be anything in self care, such as hair salons, nail salons, gyms and spas. People have not been able to obtain these services, so when they can, there is going to be a high demand. Delivery service for restaurants, grocery stores and probably retail may be the norm for the future. Counseling and video doctor appointments will increase. Also, if business owners want better planning for unexpected events such as pandemics, they would be smart to engage a CPA for financial stability advice and ongoing services to insure survival at uncertain times.

Try to negotiate a plan for payment with your landlord (reduced or forgiven). Also, suggest payment of rent in these uncertain months to be paid at the end of the lease. Take advantage of the SBA Payroll Protection Plan to apply for assistance.

The answer to this question partially depends on the entity type. If you are a pass-through entity (1120S, 1065), and have not filed a return, you should have an extention filed currently to 9/15/2020. The income or loss from these returns flows to the owner/partner personal return, so there is...

The answer to this question partially depends on the entity type. If you are a pass-through entity (1120S, 1065), and have not filed a return, you should have an extention filed currently to 9/15/2020. The income or loss from these returns flows to the owner/partner personal return, so there is no payment due on these business returns. It is best to file by the deadline and be done, if possible. If you are a corporation (1120) and owe taxes, it is advantageous to extend and file later if you owe. There is no payment penalty for the 7/15/20 extension deadline.
If you are a Schedule C (LLC or sole proprietor) and are expecting a refund, it is best to file now. This schedule is part of your personal return, so I would base my filing decision on whether or not I was receiving a refund. File later if you owe.
I think the 7/15/20 extension is geared more towards personal (1040) returns to give people a break if they owe taxes. The extension to 7/15/2020 is for filing and payment. If you extend personal or business returns using the regular extension deadlines, you will probably incur penalty and interest.
Tax professionals have additional time to work on returns now, so if you can, get your information to your CPA as soon as possible. The returns can be filed now and payment made later.
Hope this helps!

Hi Suzanne,
Every CPA firm has their own method of charging fees. Many firms charge fees based on time spent on the project, in this case, your tax return. Other firms charge flat fees or a combination of both.
Larger firms charge higher fees because their billable rates are usually higher. I tell clients up front my minimum fee for individual returns. If the return is complex or if it takes a long period of time, the rate goes up. I try to tell my clients in advance what that increase will be. I charge a reasonable hourly rate for financial statement work and flat fees for corporate.
I maintain a simple structure that clients seem to like. I would advise telling the CPA you will have to find someone else if you are feeling uncomfortable with the rates. I would be happy to help from Baton Rouge, LA. Best of luck!

Unemployment benefits are not collectible unless you are in fact, unemployed. If you are paying unemployment taxes and the business closes, you could draw benefits, but as an owner not drawing salary, you cannot collect unemployment. A sole proprietor or an LLC does not pay wages, but if you are paying yourself a salary through an S-Corp or a C-Corp, you pay unemployment benefits and would qualify if you met the minimum time required for drawing salary/paying unemployment. There may be benefits if you carry unemployment insurance as a sole proprietor.
