Take Advantage of an Accountable Plan in Your Business

Business owners often use their personal items to conduct business and do not always take advantage of the associated tax benefits. Most people know about the home office deduction and vehicle mileage, but there are many more opportunities that you can take advantage of as a business owner structured as an S corp.

The accountable plan is used by S Corporation owners to save money in taxes, aside from the self-employment taxes that you're going to experience saving on just by having the S Corp. I'll be explaining what it is, why you need it in your business, and how to go about getting the proper paperwork in place.

[1:05] What is an accountable plan?

[2:30] What can you reimburse with an accountable plan?

[5:18] Is there a formal process to follow when reimbursing yourself?

[7:50] Why do I need an accountable plan if I already take some of these deductions on my standard tax return?

[11:45] Can you do a bulk reimbursement once a year? Or does it need to meet a specific timeframe?

[12:40] What do you need to actually implement an accountable plan?
