Reads from Last Week

Five Critical Facts About Business Growth is a video blog post from Chad over at Bordeaux and Bordeaux in Charlotte North Carolina. I haven’t posted much from his blog but that’s because I am to lazy to watch so I can’t really say if they are worth watching or not. However I did watch this one and every business owner needs to watch this one. He discusses the following five facts about business growth:

  1. There is no such thing as a mature business or market.
  2. Not all growth is good growth.  Some growth can be disastrous for your Company.
  3. Growth is a mentality – created by the leaders within a Company
  4. Balance growth is the key to long-term prosperity.
  5. Growing your business is much less risky than NOT growing your business.

If the rest of his video posts are like this I have been missing some things. Keep up the great work my friend.

Some things that can contribute to an AMT liability are mundane items that appear on many tax returns. (See this list Top 10 Things that Cause AMT Liability.)

          If you use computer software to prepare your tax return, the program should (I would hope) be able to do the AMT calculations for you. If you’re preparing your return by hand, the only way to know for sure is to fill out IRS Form 6251 – a very laborious process, on that I charge almost $80.00 for, and that price is adjusted (usually up) almost every time.

         The best way to understand the alternative minimum tax liability is to see how it’s calculated. So, here’s what you do.
