New filing for tax-exempts

Thanks to a provision in the Pension Protection Act of 2006, tax-exempt organizations with annual gross receipts of $25,000 or less will generally have to file a new annual report with the IRS. Form 990-N is to be filed electronically, and because it is short and easy, the IRS is calling it an e-Postcard. If an organization fails to file for three consecutive years, its tax-exempt status may be revoked.

IRS reminds employers about tip credit changes

Employers are being reminded by the IRS about changes relating to the tip credit (known as the 45B credit). Even though the federal minimum wage is now $5.85 an hour, employers are to compute the credit on the previous minimum wage of $5.15.

Also, employers who claim the credit must reduce their social security and Medicare tax deduction accordingly. Employers may now use the credit to offset the alternative minimum tax; previously the credit could only offset the regular income tax.
