                              (upbeat music)

                              Dr. Friday: G’day, I’m Dr. Friday and the doctor is in the house. We have a really good show scheduled for today. And as you know, you can always join our show live at 615-737-9986. And we today are going to be talking with Nathan Wright. Many of you guys have been listening to me for well over 10 years now. And Nathan’s been on the show a few times and he is my go-to when it comes to Medicare. And it’s probably one of the more confusing. People think taxes, Nathan, are confusing. First I should say, hello, Nathan, join the show.

                              Nathan: Hey, how you doing, Dr. Friday?

                              Dr. Friday: I am good. I was just gonna say that, you know, Medicare is a subject in itself. I know a lot of people think taxes can be complicated, but having to deal with Medicare, in my opinion, is just so much advice out there. and some of it can just seem like it’s more confusing than probably it needs to be. So I’m hoping today we can always take your calls if you’re dealing with Medicare or if you have a family member and you might be helping them make decisions. Remember, this is, I don’t know, this is the time when people can start getting ready to make changes, right? ‘Cause there’s only a certain time of the year, Nathan, that people can do adjustments to their Medicare?

                              Nathan: Yes, you are absolutely correct. This is the annual election period which starts on October 15th and runs through December 7th. So we are almost there.

                              Dr. Friday: Yeah, so this is the time. So if they’re wanting to add or if they feel that they have too much of something, this is the only window of time that they can really do that. They can’t like, if I don’t like my insurance today, I can go out and change my insurance. You can’t do that in Medicare.

                              Nathan: That’s generally correct. Although there is what’s called special election period.

                                    Announcer: 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. It’s the Dr. Friday Show. If you have a question for Dr. Friday, call her now, 737-WWTN. That’s 737-9986. So here’s your host, financial counselor and tax consultant, Dr. Friday.

                                    Dr. Friday: G’day I’m Dr. Friday and the doctor is in the house so if you are working on your business tax returns because if you filed an extension for your partnership LLC’s your sub S corporations and even for C corporations those will be due on September 15th again September 15th which is this coming Friday.

                                    So if you haven’t, and if you did not file an extension, you’re just late, period. But that’s also the same day that we have to make our third estimated payment. Kind of want to touch base a little bit on the requirements for estimated tax payments. The tax law says we have to make four equal payments based on the year before. Now that doesn’t mean that if you want, some clients say, well, do I have to make four?

                                    Can I not just on the first payment in April, can I just send all of the money or on the second payment?

                                    Can I make a first payment and then the second?

                                    As long as those payments are paid before the due date, those are considered for equal payments.

                                    So if you wanna make all of your payments at one time and the original due date for every year is the first estimate is April the 15th or the filing date, whichever it might be, you may make all of them.

                                    If you had an unusual situation, So let’s say you sold a piece of real estate that is taxable, not your primary, possibly it could be your primary, but in most cases with the exclusions, people don’t have a lot of taxes due, but let’s say it’s a rental property or a piece of investment land property, whichever that might be, then let’s take that and say that you owe taxes, maybe 50, $60,000.

                                    So you are required within 90 days to make an estimated payment.

                                    Again, estimated payments are based on the prior year.

                                    So as long as you have made all the proper estimates for the year before, so you need to make sure you make 110% for this kind of situation.

                                    So you might want to pay in a little extra.

                                    It doesn’t mean you need to pay all $40,000 in taxes that may be due, but you do need to make an estimate, especially if you normally don’t owe taxes.

                                    Two reasons I usually suggest this.

                                    One of the big reasons is if the money is sitting in the bank and you are not a good person as far as being able to hold that money until tax time, you don’t want the IRS to ever be a loan officer.

                                    It’s never a good experience.

                                    Their

                                      Dr. Friday 0:30

                                      G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, and I’m here live in studio. So if you want to join, the show you can at 615-737-9986, we’re gonna be talking a lot about some of the things that’s kind of coming up here.

                                      Dr. Friday 0:51

                                      We have, obviously, September 15th, which will be here before you know it, that’s when all of our business tax returns are going to be due. And then October 15, for all those that have waited to that last minute to file the paperwork. Keep in mind that does not extend the money you owe. But if you’ve paid all your taxes, and you’re just waiting, I know if we don’t finish the business tax returns, those individuals cannot file their personal tax returns.

                                      Dr. Friday 1:19

                                      So many of you had to wait for K-1’s or other documents. Once you get those then we have until October 15 to file those taxes. So very important to make sure you make those deadlines because otherwise, you’re going to get hit with failure to file on time penalties, which add up a lot faster than and failure to pay. So you know, if you’ve got questions, you need to figure out what we need to do, how you’re going to move forward.

                                      Dr. Friday 1:46

                                      And of course, we’re going to talk a little bit about people that have had some back issues. I mean, if you haven’t filed taxes, especially in the last couple of years, because in 20 and 21, we had quite a bit of free money, that may either be able to go back and pay for some of your tax issues or help you pay the tax years that you may have may not have a keep in mind, 2021 and 22 are the three years we’re able to get to get actual refunds from the IRS.

                                      Dr. Friday 2:15

                                      So if you don’t have, if you haven’t filed, it’s going to fall off. And before you know it when when 2023 comes on 2020 is going to drop off. And that was one of the stimulus checks they had to that year, adding up to somewhere between I think it was 600 and 1200 may have been $1,800, that you would have been able to get for free that year. And then 2021, I believe was 1400. But either way, you don’t want to leave that money on the table.

                                      Dr. Friday 2:46

                                      And so you might want to think about making sure that you’re filing all of your taxes. And there are some situations where maybe you haven’t filed taxes in 1015 20 years, and I have that happen more times than a lot of people think doesn’t mean we have to file all those years in some cases, we may not have to file more than six years to get you into compliance.

                                        Good day, I’m Dr. Friday and the doctor is in the house, I will tell you it is a very warm day outside. So hopefully, you guys are all getting a chance to listen to me. While we are inside either an air conditioned vehicle or actually at your house, listen, I Heart Radio. But if you are out there having to put up with a lot of this weather then drink lots of water and keep yourself hydrated about the only thing I can share with you. But let’s talk a little bit about some of my favorite subjects first, you can join the show 615-737-9986.

                                        Dr. Friday 1:11

                                        So right now from Friday through Sunday, in Tennessee, we have the sales tax weekend we call it and it covers three different categories. You have school and art supplies. So any supplies, folders, pens, pencils, as long as that individual item is $100 or less. And you can’t do anything crazy like and say, Well, I want to buy this art kit. But this is one big kit and you want to say well, I’ll buy this and this and split it in half, and it’ll be under the $100. Now if it’s usually sold as a kit, that’s what they’re going to say. So anything under $100 per an item, which is great, especially for school supplies, paper supplies, things like that, that you might have. Even small business owners think about it, you can buy reams of paper, you can buy pens, papers, folders, whatever you might usually use might be a great weekend here in Tennessee and Williamson County, I believe were 9.75 Murray County 9.25. And in some of the other counties 9.5, no matter what we are at nine plus percent.

                                        Dr. Friday 2:14

                                        So that is a healthy savings on every dollar. The second one of course is clothing, right? You actually have your general apparel, anything less than $100 per item, that would be Jeans, shoes, you cannot split the shoe. So you can’t buy $200 with the shoes and put one on each, they’re not going to allow it. But anything else socks, dresses, etc, etc. Anything that you might have if your kid goes to school and has a dress code or uniform, again, buying the pants or the shirts that would qualify as long as each of those items are under $100. And again, this is only from yesterday, Friday till midnight on Sunday. So today is a busy day for a lot of people another one for small business owners as well as just individuals or people that have kids in college or nowadays all grades almost is the computer $1,500 or less.

                                        Dr. Friday 3:07

                                        If you want to buy a computer, now might be a time to think about it. They always talk about Black Fridays and all that. But nowadays we have black Friday’s goodness in May, June, July, they kind of took the

                                          Good day. I’m Dr. Friday and the doctor is in the house on this beautiful Saturday afternoon. Let’s start out the day with a couple just reminders for some of you that may be still procrastinating a little bit on Monday, July 17 is the final day to to file and you have to do this by mail, we cannot file electronically your 2019 return.

                                          Dr. Friday 0:54

                                          So if you have not filed and if you would like to get your refund if you actually have one that would happen by July 17. Which of course is this coming Monday, I believe. So we have that notice. And then the second notice, I just wanted to make sure if you are also a person that lives in Rutherford County McNair Macon, and Haywood and Lewis, there’s about five counties out there cannon, your final deadline without extension is July 31, 2023, due to the storm damage that you were under federal disaster extensions.

                                          Dr. Friday 1:32

                                          So one to start the show out with those times and extensions, just so if you’re listening, and you still haven’t filed your 19, or you forgot to file your extension, and you happen to live in one of these other counties, about eight of them most common for my listening audience, Kenan Rutherford and making you You still have time and you won’t be late, which is the important part of that conversation.

                                          Dr. Friday 1:57

                                          So if you’ve got a question, you can join the show 615-737-9986 State of Tennessee has come out with their new interest rates. I think I told you guys last week, maybe a little bit about this. But they’re pretty ridiculous. If you owe money to the state of Tennessee, federal, you know, for sales tax or any of that, then, you know, they have increased that to almost 13%, I believe.

                                          Dr. Friday 2:32

                                          So that is huge. When you’re trying to make a deal you’re trying to get paid to get things paid off. I also found out an interesting thing. One thing I like about the people that do actually handle audits, and I know most of you guys are like no one likes audit as well, you know, it’s a job, it’s not something that anyone else, it’s just it’s a job that anyone has to do. And sooner or later someone has to be done.

                                          Dr. Friday 2:55

                                          And sooner or later, most of us will probably be audited by some format, if you’re in business, especially, but had a situation where a young man had filed reports be that sales tax busi

                                            Dr. Friday 0:25

                                            Good day. I’m Dr. Friday and the doctor is in the house. It’s a wonderful Saturday out there. And many of us are trying to get some things together, especially still trying to work on tax returns. But right now we’re really working on a lot of cases, dealing with the IRS directly as soon as back taxes or making offering compromises.

                                            Dr. Friday 0:50

                                            Remember, I’m an enrolled agent licensed with the Internal Revenue Service do taxes and representation, which basically means guys, that’s all I do is Texas and representation. So if you are a person that has been dealing with IRS issues, if you’re thinking, I don’t know how I’m ever going to get the IRS off my back, or how, you know, where do I even start? Because a lot of times you’re gonna haven’t filed for 10, 15, 20 years, what does the IRS have expectation for you to do? Where do you stand? And that’s where we come in?

                                            Dr. Friday 1:20

                                            To be honest, there are so many different things that you need to understand. How far back do you really have to go? What is the IRS has expectation for you moving forward, as well as moving backwards? What do I pay? If I’ve got a little money? Should I be paying forward? Should I be paying backwards? These are really in it’s different. I’m not going to tell you there’s a perfect science that I could say right here on the radio, this is the step step steps you’re going to take. And that’s how it’s going to work. No, it doesn’t always work that way.

                                            Dr. Friday 1:20

                                            What I might suggest for one individual will be completely different for a different individual, depending on how many years we have to do. If there’s been assessments in past years. What’s the window of collections? You know, I mean, there’s said date. So what are those said dates? Had the clocks been stopped? The IRS really only has 10 years to collect. But if you haven’t started the clock, or if the IRS started for you by assessing you in those tax years, what does that really mean? Do we need to amend do we need to just get the taxes filed because we’re going to be doing an offer and compromise anyways.

                                            Dr. Friday 1:48

                                            So making the right information, and then making sure not only dealing with the past, but also dealing with the future, right? Because in the future, we have to stay current for five years, otherwise, the IRS will go back and they’ll say, “Sorry, Charlie, you didn’t keep your end of the deal. So we’re going to eliminate everything.” So if you made a deal that saves you hundreds of 1000s of dollars, and you didn’t keep your deal with them, they’re
