No, no, no, she’s not a medical doctor, but she can sure cure your tax problems or your financial woes. She’s the how-to girl
00:07.760 –> 00:10.040
It’s the Dr. Friday show
00:10.040 –> 00:16.880
If you have a question for Dr. Friday call her now 737-WWTN
00:16.880 –> 00:20.280
That’s 737-9986
00:20.280 –> 00:26.320
So here’s your host financial counselor and tax consultant Dr. Friday
00:29.440 –> 00:35.760
G’day, I’m Dr. Friday and the doctor is in the house this beautiful Saturday afternoon
00:35.760 –> 00:41.060
And we’re gonna cover a couple things that we need to prepare for I’ve gotten quite a few phone calls with
00:41.060 –> 00:43.720
individuals either selling real estate or
00:43.720 –> 00:49.680
inheriting real estate and selling that real estate and wanting to know a little bit more about what the
00:49.680 –> 00:57.400
exclusion or thresholds for capital gains had someone call me and thought that if their income was below a certain dollar amount which it’s
00:58.440 –> 01:00.920
47,025 or less for individuals
01:00.920 –> 01:05.600
And then if if they would be at the zero percent capital gains
01:05.600 –> 01:12.460
But the one thing that you have to remember in that conversation that would have to include your capital gains
01:12.460 –> 01:17.120
So if your total income including your capital gains is under
01:17.120 –> 01:23.320
47,025 for an individual then you will not pay any tax on that capital gains
01:23.600 –> 01:30.700
But if that is just your normal income and then you have fifty thousand dollars or whatever of capital gains now
01:30.700 –> 01:33.400
You’re in a different situation. You’re looking at 15%
01:33.400 –> 01:41.700
roughly and the and again when people are quoting capital gains rates whenever I’m looking at the the ones on the
01:41.700 –> 01:45.160
Internet or whatever. They always seem to miss that
01:45.160 –> 01:47.520
3.8 of
01:47.520 –> 01:50.120
investment tax that we have anyone that makes a
01:50.520 –> 01:54.600
Mer any individual over 200 any married couple over 250?
01:54.600 –> 01:59.200
so what you’ll see is 15% from the 47,000 up to
01:59.200 –> 02:04.240
518 and then above that 518 it goes to 20%
02:04.240 –> 02:10.600
And if you’re looking totally at the fact that ca

615-737-9986.
00:13 –> 00:15
You’re going to want to open the phone lines.
00:15 –> 00:18
And we’re talking today about my favorite subject,
00:18 –> 00:21
which is obviously taxes and anything to do
00:21 –> 00:23
with basically money.
00:23 –> 00:26
There’s not been a lot of tax changes, as we know.
00:26 –> 00:30
Many of you were under extension until 6/17
00:30 –> 00:31
and that’s already passed.
00:31 –> 00:34
So hopefully you filed extensions.
00:34 –> 00:36
That way you’re good until October for individuals,
00:36 –> 00:40
September for businesses.
00:40 –> 00:43
And you’ll be able to then make sure everything is filed
00:43 –> 00:45
and done properly.
00:45 –> 00:49
I had an interesting question that came in the email bag.
00:49 –> 00:50
And I thought it was interesting
00:50 –> 00:53
’cause it was referred to as phantom income.
00:55 –> 00:57
There’s been some controversy a little bit
00:57 –> 00:59
on what is phantom income
00:59 –> 01:03
and should I have to pay taxes on phantom income?
01:03 –> 01:06
And for anyone that’s actually part of a sub S corporation
01:06 –> 01:10
or a 1065 partnership or LLC,
01:10 –> 01:12
you probably know we call it pass through,
01:12 –> 01:16
but it is income that you’re going to want to,
01:16 –> 01:17
you will pay tax on, right?
01:17 –> 01:21
So if a business you’ve invested in as a partner

and you make money, but maybe they can’t

That’s 737-9986.
00:19 –> 00:26
So here’s your host, financial counselor and tax consultant, Dr. Friday.
00:26 –> 00:34
G’day, I’m Dr. Friday and doctor is in the house.
00:34 –> 00:39
So if you’re thinking about working on taxes or you happen to be a small business owner,
00:39 –> 00:42
not necessarily small, but franchise excise requirements.
00:42 –> 00:47
Now, these are not going to be individuals that only pay the $100.
00:47 –> 00:51
There’s no refund for them, but there was a change in the tax law that basically said
00:51 –> 00:57
you can’t be taxing both schedule G and F and they were taking basically the highest
00:57 –> 00:59
of the two.
00:59 –> 01:05
Now they’re only allowed to request what is your schedule F, which is your debt ratio
01:05 –> 01:09
or your income that you have.
01:09 –> 01:14
So the only way to adjust this is first you have to go on to TINTAP.
01:14 –> 01:19
I mean, every day we’re getting two or three people sending us a letter that the Tennessee
01:19 –> 01:21
department of labor sent out.
01:21 –> 01:26
The letter basically says you could be entitled to a refund.
01:26 –> 01:33
But that’s such a lean, you know, I mean, I’m just being honest, a large number of clients,
01:33 –> 01:38
even my big clients, many of them aren’t going to be in much of a refund so far.
01:38 –> 01:43
I think we’ve seen like a $600 refund, which I’m not saying isn’t a purpose to do it.
01:43 –> 01:48
Of course, go ahead and do the refund, but it just keep in mind that you have to file
01:48 –> 01:50
to get the refund.
01:50 –> 01:54
You have to first go in and file an amended return.
01:54 –> 01:58
Then you can either attach a balance sheet or you have to give them a report of debt
01:58 –> 02:01
if your refund is over $200.
02:01 –> 02:07
So you’re theoretically going to go through an audit with the state, which again, isn’t
02:07 –> 02:08
the end of the world.
02:08 –> 02:11
It’s just one of those situations wher

So here’s your host, financial counselor and tax consultant, Dr. Friday.
00:29 –> 00:30
All right, good day.
00:30 –> 00:31
I’m Dr. Friday.
00:31 –> 00:37
This is the Dr. Friday Show, and we are today going to be talking more about state tax.
00:37 –> 00:43
I know a number of you have received the letters from the Tennessee Department of Revenue talking
00:43 –> 00:49
about refunds, a portion of your franchise and excise tax that could be being refunded,
00:49 –> 00:53
anything that was filed after March 31st, 2020.
00:53 –> 00:58
You do have to file for your credit or refund claim, must be filed between May 15th and
00:58 –> 01:01
November 30th, 2024.
01:01 –> 01:06
This is an alternative minimum tax measure that minimizes the franchise tax using only
01:06 –> 01:12
a portion of net worth taxes ending in or on before January 1st, 2024.
01:12 –> 01:18
The bill was authorized refunds for franchise tax paid using an AMT or an alternative minimum
01:18 –> 01:23
property calculation reduced by the amount of tax that would have otherwise be owed under
01:23 –> 01:27
the proportional net worth calculation.
01:27 –> 01:32
Bottom line, plain language, they’ve changed the way we’re calculating the franchise excise
01:32 –> 01:33
tax.
01:33 –> 01:39
So, this is really the guys that are paying $100, self-employed, single members in many
01:39 –> 01:45
cases, not to say it wouldn’t apply, but most of those cases, you’re not paying all those
01:45 –> 01:46
taxes.
01:46 –> 01:52
This would definitely apply to larger companies where you were paying a portion of your net
01:52 –> 01:57
worth on the books, and now they’re changing the way it was calculated, claiming it was
01:57 –> 02:02
not constitutional, and so they’re able to go back three years, basically, and make this.
02:02 –> 02:08
So, you have available refunds for the tax filings on or after January 1st, 2021, for
02:08 –> 02:13
the tax period on or after March 30th, 2020.
02:13 –> 02:17
Claims must be made on the forms that the tax commissioner will prescribe solely for
02:17 –> 02:18
the purpose of refunds.
02:18 –> 02:22
So, it’s not going to be something that you can easily just go out and say, “Hey, I amended
02:22 –> 02:23
the return.”
02:23 –> 02:25
No, they’re going to have refund forms.
02:25 –> 02:31
There is going to be some publications for the refunds, and then claiming waivers.

00:26 –> 00:33
Good day, I’m Dr. Friday and the doctor is in the house.
00:33 –> 00:37
It’s a nice rainy Saturday, I guess.
00:37 –> 00:41
Not really raining here in Spring Hill, but it’s supposed to.
00:41 –> 00:44
And if you want to join the show, if you’ve got tax questions or maybe you’re working
00:44 –> 00:51
on 2024 questions, or maybe you’re even thinking, do I need to amend my franchise excise because
00:51 –> 00:53
I was an early filer?
00:53 –> 00:59
The phone number here in the studio is 615-737-9986.
00:59 –> 01:05
615-737-9986 is the number in the studio.
01:05 –> 01:10
And I will say many of us filed extensions for many of our businesses and franchise excise
01:10 –> 01:15
if they had something to do with depreciation, because we did know that something was coming
01:15 –> 01:16
down the line.
01:16 –> 01:20
But in some cases, you don’t always know, and some clients just like to get it paid
01:20 –> 01:21
and done with.
01:21 –> 01:27
But you might be an individual that needs to reevaluate, especially if you have assets
01:27 –> 01:32
and the state of Tennessee was not complying with bonus depreciation.
01:32 –> 01:33
We always had separate situations.
01:33 –> 01:39
So I know for a fact I have one or two that we will have to go back and amend those returns
01:39 –> 01:43
so that they can get some of their refunds back because they’ve actually physically overpaid
01:43 –> 01:49
due to the fact that the tax law did go in effect after the tax season had already begun.
01:49 –> 01:54
So again, if you are an individual that has a small business and maybe you have assets
01:54 –> 01:58
or different things like that, there are many things that may have changed.
01:58 –> 02:03
But one of the main ones is that Tennessee is now following the federal law for bonus
02:03 –> 02:04
depreciation.
02:04 –> 02:08
So that can lead to an important situation on that.
02:08 –> 02:09
All right.
02:09 –> 02:12
So Kevin here in Nashville, let’s go ahead and get him on the line.
02:12 –> 02:14
Hey, Kev, what can I do for you?

Hi, thanks, Friday.

So here’s your host, financial counselor and tax consultant, Dr. Friday.
00:27 –> 00:34
G’day, I’m Dr. Friday and the doctor is in the house.
00:34 –> 00:36
We are here live in studio.
00:36 –> 00:40
So if you’ve got a question, this will be the time to talk and we’ve got some
good news
00:40 –> 00:45
for some of those procrastinators out there and even some of my clients
because some people
00:45 –> 00:51
never got the memo that if you lived in certain counties, and really the ones
that it’s closest
00:51 –> 00:59
to us is Davidson, Robertson, and Sumner, but there are eight counties due to
severe
00:59 –> 01:03
thunderstorms and actually I think it was tornado warnings.
01:03 –> 01:10
The FEMA or the IRS ruled as severe thunder and so now they had until June
17th.
01:10 –> 01:16
So even if you filed your taxes and you weren’t able to pay them or maybe you
weren’t able
01:16 –> 01:22
to make your first estimate because you had to pay your taxes or even your
fourth quarter
01:22 –> 01:26
estimate on time, it could have been because of financial reasons.
01:26 –> 01:31
If you had a partnership or corporation that was due on March 15th and you
weren’t able
01:31 –> 01:39
to file it or regular corporations or fiduciary ones that were due April 15th
or even individuals.
01:39 –> 01:45
Also the non-profit, the tax exempt ones that are due May 15th, all of those
estimates,
01:45 –> 01:50
all of those are extended until June 17th.
01:50 –> 01:57
So that gives you at least people that live in Robertson Weekly, Cheatham,
Gibson, Stewart,
01:57 –> 02:01
Davidson, Dixon, Montgomery, and Sumner.
02:01 –> 02:06
Those are the counties that have an extension that we’ll have till that time.
02:06 –> 02:10
So it gives you a little, I mean, again, if you had a tough time and you
weren’t able

You probably hear my dogs in the background having a little chit-chat of the
neighborhood,
00:37 –> 00:43
but we are going to talk a little bit first about the new bill that the
governor has put
00:43 –> 00:49
out there concerning the franchise tax board and the refunds that the business
operating
00:49 –> 00:51
in Tennessee could be heading towards.
00:51 –> 00:53
This has not yet been signed.
00:53 –> 00:56
So this is a bill that he has put.
00:56 –> 01:02
It’s the Senate Bill 2103, which will change how we complete the franchise
excise tax and
01:02 –> 01:07
not having the property tax calculation in there, which is pretty big.
01:07 –> 01:13
I mean, they’re saying that’s going to reduce revenue for the state of over
$400 million
01:13 –> 01:16
beginning the year that this goes into play.
01:16 –> 01:21
So it will be an interesting — this only applies to businesses that file
franchise
01:21 –> 01:23
and excise tax.
01:23 –> 01:30
So it’ll be interesting to see if this actually passes, and we’ll stay on top
of it to see
01:30 –> 01:33
if there’s any changes.
01:33 –> 01:38
Nothing I read in here does it say that it’s going to go backwards.
01:38 –> 01:45
So it looks like to me it’s really going to go into effect for 2024, not in
2023.
01:45 –> 01:53
All right, let’s see if we can go to the — oh, the phone lines here in the
studio are 615-737-9988.
01:53 –> 02:01
And it looks like we’ve already got Jay on the line, which is awesome.
02:01 –> 02:03
Hey, Jay, what’s happening?
02:03 –> 02:04
>> Hi, good afternoon.
02:04 –> 02:09
Thank you so much for taking my call.
02:09 –> 02:17
My wife had a lot of health issues last year, and so like $217,000 in medical
expenses.
02:17 –> 02:25
And so anyway, we have a high deductible health plan, $10,000, and we’re on
the hook for that.

No, no, no, she’s not a medical doctor, but she can sure cure your tax
problems or your
00:00:07.000 –> 00:00:08.000
financial woes.
00:00:08.000 –> 00:00:10.000
She’s the how-to girl.

00:00:13.000 –> 00:00:14.000
So here’s your host, financial counselor and tax consultant, Dr. Friday.
00:00:14.000 –> 00:00:14.000
[music]
00:00:14.000 –> 00:00:34.000
G’day, I’m Dr. Friday and the doctor is in the house.
00:00:34.000 –> 00:00:36.760
We are here, hopefully gonna get some fun.
00:00:36.760 –> 00:00:41.400
The weather outside is so nice, but it is tax season, so we need to talk about
some
00:00:41.400 –> 00:00:47.320
of the changes that are in play and also any questions that you might have
concerning taxes
00:00:47.320 –> 00:00:52.100
and the issues that we might be dealing with in doing our taxes.
00:00:52.100 –> 00:00:57.120
Do not forget that if you are a small business owner, you also have your
franchise excise,
00:00:57.120 –> 00:01:02.740
your business tax, and your annual reports that are going to be changing, so
you need
00:01:02.740 –> 00:01:07.400
to make sure that you have all of that in play so that you don’t get a late
notice,
00:01:07.400 –> 00:01:11.640
because many of those are due April 1st, which is just around the corner.
00:01:11.640 –> 00:01:15.080
So just making sure that you’ve got everything that you need, because a lot of
times I know
00:01:15.080 –> 00:01:18.240
people will call me and say, “Oh, I just got a notice.
00:01:18.240 –> 00:01:19.240
Business tax wasn’t filed.
00:01:19.240 –> 00:01:20.240
I thought you filed it.”
00:01:20.240 –> 00:01:22.480
Well, business tax is only a state tax.
00:01:22.480 –> 00:01:26.000
We don’t deal with that in our office unless you do our monthly bookkeeping
service, then
00:01:26.000 –> 00:01:28.360
the bookkeepers will usually handle that.
00:01:28.360 –> 00:01:33.640
Annual reports, again, are not really part of bookkeeping or taxes, so it’s
just a licensing
00:01:33.640 –> 00:01:37.920
renewal for your charter every single year, but you need to make sure that you
either
00:01:37.920 –> 00:01:42.080

00:00:17.240 –> 00:00:22.240
So here’s your host, financial counselor and tax consultant, Dr. Friday.
00:00:22.240 –> 00:00:34.240
G’day, I’m Dr. Friday and the doctor is in the house.
00:00:34.240 –> 00:00:38.960
We are going to talk about my favorite subject, it is the middle of tax season.
00:00:38.960 –> 00:00:45.120
And if you are a 1065, an 1120S and an 1120, in some cases, some 1120s can have it until
00:00:45.120 –> 00:00:46.720
next month.
00:00:46.720 –> 00:00:51.440
You have just missed a deadline if you did not file an extension.
00:00:51.440 –> 00:00:57.200
Because we’re due on the 15th for all 1065 and 1120Ss, unless you’re on a fiscal year
00:00:57.200 –> 00:00:58.200
end.
00:00:58.200 –> 00:01:00.920
So you need to make sure that you file your taxes.
00:01:00.920 –> 00:01:02.960
The penalties can be pretty steep.
00:01:02.960 –> 00:01:08.120
So again, making sure that you have filed your taxes and if not, an extension.
00:01:08.120 –> 00:01:13.560
That’s the same goes come April 15th for everything else, unless again, you’re on a physical year
00:01:13.560 –> 00:01:18.060
end, makes for you to basically need to file those extensions.
00:01:18.060 –> 00:01:22.520
It’s such a time saver, but more it’s a money saver, right?
00:01:22.520 –> 00:01:27.960
Because if you haven’t filed your taxes yet, then you’re in trouble when it comes to filing
00:01:27.960 –> 00:01:30.440
what you need to file for all of that.
00:01:30.440 –> 00:01:36.320
So again, if you have a question, you can reach us here in the studio at 615-737-9986.
00:01:36.320 –> 00:01:44.560
615-737-9986 is the number here in the studio.
00:01:44.560 –> 00:01:48.560

00:00:26.760 –> 00:00:32.280
All righty, I’m Dr. Friday.
00:00:32.280 –> 00:00:33.280
We are live.

You can reach us here at 615-737-9986, 615-737-9986, taking your calls, talking about taxes.
00:00:44.320 –> 00:00:47.280
Many of you may be working on your taxes this weekend.
00:00:47.280 –> 00:00:50.320
I know I’m in the process of working on taxes.
00:00:50.320 –> 00:00:54.640
You may actually be running into some things that you’re thinking about for 2024.
00:00:54.640 –> 00:00:56.040
I mean, things are always changing.
00:00:56.040 –> 00:00:58.800
A lot of people are thinking about Roth conversions.
00:00:58.800 –> 00:01:03.480
I am not a financial advisor, so I do not get into that aspect, other than the fact
00:01:03.480 –> 00:01:07.200
that if you do a conversion, you will end up paying taxes.
00:01:07.200 –> 00:01:10.200
So you may want to talk to your tax person when you’re doing that.
00:01:10.200 –> 00:01:15.240
We do a lot of planning when we’re usually doing tax prep because what you have happening,
00:01:15.240 –> 00:01:18.600
you know, sometimes people are thinking, “Well, maybe I’ll sell a house or I’ll do this,”
00:01:18.600 –> 00:01:26.000
and all those kinds of things not only affect your actual taxes that are due, but your IRMA,
00:01:26.000 –> 00:01:28.600
if you’re in and receiving Medicare.
00:01:28.600 –> 00:01:33.680
So it’s very important to take into account not only what you’re going to be paying in
00:01:33.680 –> 00:01:38.480
actual ordinary or capital gains tax, but make sure that you talk about the IRMA as
00:01:38.480 –> 00:01:43.280
well because we have found over the years, many times people take into account, you know,
00:01:43.280 –> 00:01:44.760
how much am I going to pay in capital gains?
00:01:44.760 –> 00:01:45.760
I already calculated that.
00:01:45.760 –> 00:01:49.800
And then they get the love letter from Medicare that says, “Hey, we’ve changed the amount
00:01:49.800 –> 00:01:54.500
