PENDING CLINTON TAX CHANGE PROPOSALS:
─────────────────────────────────────
As this Version 93/3 of the program is released on
July 1, 1993, the massive new Clinton tax bill has,
in somewhat different forms, just narrowly passed in
both the House and Senate, and the differences in the
two bills are being worked out in the Conference Com-
mittee, composed of members of both houses of Congress.
A final, compromise bill will probably be ready to vote
on before the end of July. If it passes, much of the
federal tax information in this program will instantly
become obsolete. In that case, look for all the new
tax rules to be fully integrated into and reflected in
this program by the time we release Version 93/4, on
October 1, 1993 (including a revised 1993 tax calcula-
tion module which will reflect new individual and
corporate tax laws and federal estate tax changes).
FEDERAL LAW CHANGES IN THIS RELEASE:
────────────────────────────────────
. NEW TAX DEDUCTIONS AND CREDITS FOR CLEAN FUEL VEHICLES.
Coverage has been added regarding the new deductions
for clean-fuel vehicles and the new tax credit for
electric vehicles, both of which tax incentives are
in effect after June 30, 1993. [93/3]
. NEW FEDERAL FAMILY LEAVE LAW ADDED. We've added a
discussion of the key provisions of the new Family
Leave bill that was signed into law by President
Clinton on February 5, 1993. This new law applies
to all employers (including non-profit organizations)
with 50 or more employees in a 75-mile radius. [93/2]
. OFFICE-IN-THE-HOME DEDUCTION RESTRICTED. Updated to
reflect the new (1993) U.S. Supreme Court Decision
(Soliman case) that limits home office deduction
for certain type of businesses conducted mostly out-
side of the home. [93/2]
. NEW 1993 TAX MODULE. This release includes a 1993
income and estate tax planning module, as well as a
1992 module, either of which is selectable from the
Main Menu of the program. [CAUTION: The 1993 tax
module is based on 1993 tax rates, brackets, and
laws as they stood in late March, 1993. Since the
new Administration will probably make major changes
in the tax law in 1993, this module may quickly be-
come OBSOLETE before the end of 1993. If so, obtain
our latest version, which, as usual, will incorpor-
ate any major tax law changes within a few weeks of
enactment.] [93/2]
. NEW ADA CHECKLIST COMMAND ADDED. A new menu selection
("DISAB") has been added onto the CHECKLISTS submenu
of the program, which displays an extensive checklist
that an employer should fill out, when interviewing a
disabled person, in order to help make sure that there
are no violations of the Americans with Disabilities
Act in the hiring process with regard to that person.
[93/1]
. NEW FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT TAX DEPOSIT RULES. The segment
on withholding taxes now includes a discussion of the
new (1993) and simplified federal income tax and FICA
tax deposit requirements. [93/1]
. NEW INFORMATION ON AIR QUALITY OPERATING PERMITS. This
new text segment (see EPA menu selection, or use index)
provides highly useful and current information about
whether your business needs to obtain EPA or state air
quality operating permits, under recent Clean Air Act
regulations issued by EPA in 1992. [93/2]
. INCREASE IN CORPORATE ESTIMATED TAX REQUIRED PAYMENTS.
Updated to reflect January, 1992 amendments (and FUR-
THER amendments in February and July and yet again
in late '92) to the corporate estimated tax rules,
which now require an increase in the percentage of
current year estimated tax, in general, that must be
paid in by corporations to avoid penalty, for years
1992-1996. Prior to 1992, corporations were general-
ly required to pay in 90% of the current year's tax
as estimated tax payments. However, during the next
few years (1992-1996), the percentage to be is paid
in as estimated tax is increased as follows:
. Tax years beginning in 1992
(but before July 1, 1992) -- 93%
. Tax years beginning on or
after July 1, 1992 -- 97%
. Tax years after 1996 -- 90% (In theory)
(The initial revisions, which you may have heard
about, would have phased-in the increases, but
Congress changed that law, to the above schedule,
within a couple of months of its passage, then
changed it twice more in July and November. Things
change faster and faster....) [93/1]
. AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT. A new section has
been added regarding the sweeping new requirements of
this new legislation, passed in 1990, which is going
into effect, in stages, in 1992 through 1994. [92/4]
. PENSION AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS. We have also added
to the program a wide-ranging discussion of various
types of pension and profit sharing plans, their pros
and cons, etc. Everything from 401K's to "target
benefit plans." (More than you ever really wanted to
know about retirement plans, but were too gunshy about
lawyers' fees to ask, in short.) [93/1]
. ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. This is one of the biggest con-
cerns affecting businesses now, especially since the
recent passage of the massive amendments to the Clean
Air Act, which will impact virtually every small busi-
ness with a whole new layer of complex regulations
in the near future. Forewarned is forearmed, so we
think you will find this information EXTREMELY valu-
able, particularly if you have been blissfully unaware
of what has already become law in this area, and what
is coming. If you intend to stay in business in the
'Nineties, you MUST be aware of penalties, up to
$25,000 A DAY, for violating environmental laws and
regulations, and how to steer clear of same. (How to
do your part to take care of the environment, and how
to file for bankruptcy if you don't.) This area of
business regulation is becoming so important that we
have now created a new menu item, on the "LEGAL
MATTERS" submenu, the "EPA" command, for quickly ac-
cessing this important environmental law information.
[93/1]
. FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT REPORTING. We are now cover-
ing new federal laws requiring reporting of foreign-
owned investments in U.S. businesses and real estate,
what forms to file, and how those new rules may apply
to you in unexpected situations, in these times of
growing global business transactions (not to mention
raging xenophobia). [93/1]
. LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES. It walks like a duck, it
talks like a duck, but it's taxed like a goose. What
is it? It's not a corporation, it's not a partnership,
and it is definitely not a sole proprietorship....What
the heck is this new thing? It's called a "limited
liability company," an interesting, and potentially
useful new type of business entity that you can now
set up, under the laws of eighteen states (and more
to come). And the IRS has ruled that such entities
are generally taxable as partnerships, not as corpor-
ations. Expanded information on this new kind of
legal entity, now adopted as a sort of "hybrid" of a
corporation and a partnership, in 18 states, has been
added to this version of the program. [93/1]
. VACCINE EXCISE TAX TERMINATED. The federal excise tax
on vaccine manufacturers has terminated, as of the end
of 1992. For details, see the "EXCISE TAX" selection
on the "TAX INFO" menu. [93/1]
STATE LAW CHANGES:
──────────────────
. STATE USE TAX COLLECTION BY MAIL ORDER RETAILERS NOT
REQUIRED. The U.S. Supreme Court held, on May 26,
1992, in the case of Quill Corp. v. North Dakota,
that, under the U.S. Constitution, a state may not
force out-of-state mail order retailers to collect
use tax on sales to residents of the state, where
the company had no presence in the state. Thus, it
appears that many of the new "broad grasp" mail order
company use tax law provisions, which have been adop-
ted in some 34 states in recent years, may be invalid
and no longer enforceable. While this is good news
for all mail order retailers, the bad news is that
the Court also indicated in its decision that Congress
could, if it chooses to do so, constitutionally enact
legislation that would permit the states to require
use tax collection on mail order and similar sales by
out-of-state retailers. [92/3]
. SALES TAX COVERAGE EXPANDED. Greatly expanded, more
detailed coverage of state sales tax laws, including
registration, local taxes, taxable categories, and
major exemptions from sales tax (for most states).
. GASOLINE TAX RATES ADDED. Coverage has been expanded
to include state gasoline rates for all 50 states and
the District of Columbia as of early 1993. [93/1]
. ALABAMA ADOPTS "LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY" LAW. Effec-
tive October 1, 1993, Alabama law will authorize the
creation of "limited liability companies," which are
neither corporations nor partnerships. Alabama joins
some 27 other states which have enacted such laws
authorizing formation of limited liability companies.
[93/2]
. ARIZONA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY LAW. Added coverage
of "LLC" law enacted by Arizona. [93/1]
. ARIZONA SALES TAXES. Coverage of the Arizona sales
and use tax law has been expanded. [93/1]
. ARKANSAS LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY LAW. Arkansas has
adopted LLC provisions, effective 4-12-1993. [93/2]
. ARKANSAS SALES TAX EXPANSION. More detailed discussion
of Arkansas sales and use tax laws, including recent
expansion of sales tax (gross receipts tax) to cover
a number of different kinds of service businesses.
[93/1]
. CALIFORNIA -- EMPLOYERS MUST REPORT NEW HIRES. Effec-
tive April 1, 1993, certain California employers must
report all new hires (or rehires) to the state Employ-
ment Development Department within 30 days, on a new
reporting form. Big Brother is watching, and he wants
you to help him.... [93/2]
. CALIFORNIA. Effective in 1994, most small employers
in California (25 employees or less) will be eligible
for a state income or franchise tax credit of up to
the greater of $25 a month per employee or 25% of the
amount paid for employee health care coverage. (This
credit was to have gone into effect in 1992, but was
delayed until 1993, and now has been delayed for yet
another year by the California Legislature.) [93/1]
. CALIFORNIA. Updated to reflect 1992 indexing of
California tax brackets for personal income tax,
which were released in September, 1992 by the
California Franchise Tax Board. [93/1]
. CALIFORNIA SDI RATE INCREASED FOR 1993. Updated for
increase in State Disability Insurance (tax) rate
calendar year 1993, from 1.25% to 1.30%. [93/1]
. CALIFORNIA'S TOUGHER NEW ESTIMATED TAX PAYMENT RULES.
Covers new estimated tax rules, effective 1-1-1993,
that will limit ability of individual taxpayers to
avoid underpayment penalty by merely making estimated
tax payments equal to 100% of their prior year's tax
liability, for certain high-income taxpayers whose
income increases by more than $40,000 from the prior
year. Also updates increase in amount of estimated
franchise tax for corporations, from 90% to 95%, that
goes into effect in 1993. [92/4]
. COLORADO LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY LAW. Added cover-
age of "LLC" law enacted by Colorado. [93/1]
. COLORADO WITHHOLDING OF TAX ON SALE OF REAL ESTATE.
Added new section on new (1993) law requiring
persons selling real estate to nonresidents of
Colorado to withhold income tax. [93/1]
. CONNECTICUT SALES TAX. The Connecticut sales tax was
reduced from 8% to 6%, effective October 1, 1991. At
the same time, motor fuel tax rates were increased
from 23 cents to 25 cents a gallon as of 9-1-91, 26
cents on 1-1-92, 28 cents on 1-1-93, 29 cents on
7-1-93, 30 cents on 1-1-94, 31 cents on 7-1-94,
32 cents on 1-1-95, 33 cents on 7-1-95, and to 34

. GEORGIA ADOPTS "LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY" LAW. Effec-
tive March 1, 1994, Georgia law will authorize the
creation of "limited liability companies," which are
neither corporations nor partnerships. Thus, Georgia
joins 27 other states which have enacted such laws
authorizing formation of limited liability companies.
[93/2]
. HAWAII UNEMPLOYMENT TAX CHANGES. For calendar year
1992 and in subsequent years, the "new employer"
state unemployment tax rate (1.70% in 1993) is the
same as the contribution rate assigned to employers
with a .0000 reserve ratio. (The rate was 3.1% for
new employers in 1991.) The wage base for Hawaii
unemployment tax has been increased to $23,900 in
1993 (from $7,000 in 1991), however, so that the
maximum tax for a given employee has increased from
$217 in 1991 to as much as $406.30 in 1993. [93/1]

OTHER CHANGES AND ADDITIONS IN RECENT QUARTERLY RELEASES:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
. NEW SEGMENT ADDED ON SELECTING PROFESSIONAL ADVISERS.
This new text segment (see various items for Attorneys,
Accountants, Benefit Consultants, etc. in index) pro-
vides helpful tips on how to go about finding and how
to use various professional advisers, as well as
where to find free or inexpensive sources of help and
information through SBA offices, SCORE and SBDC's,
among others. [93/3]
. FRINGE BENEFITS. An in-depth coverage of various
employee fringe benefit plans your company can offer,
in addition to the basic health, life insurance and
disability plans covered in the current edition.
How to put the golden handcuffs on those employees
you want to keep, and how to give the sleeves of the
vest to the ones who don't perform up to what you
expected. Everything from stock option plans, SARs,
and phantom stock, to dependent care, educational
benefit and group legal services plans and employee
purchase discounts are now covered, in easy-to-
understand language that gives you crucial the in-
formation you need, as a business owner, to decide
if such plans warrant consideration by your company.
[92/3]
. DEVELOPING TRENDS. We have added a lengthy new seg-
ment, concentrating on changing economic and business
trends in the marketplace, as well as developing
areas of business law and pending tax and other law
changes you need to be aware of if you are in busi-
ness. Covers areas ranging from VDT terminals
(health problems that may result from their use) to
"wrongful termination" of employees to new environ-
mental regulations to economic trends and pending
national health insurance proposals. (Access this
info by selecting the "ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS TRENDS"
item from the index, using the "INDX" selection on
the Main Menu.) [92/3]
. TELEPHONE HOTLINES. Updated various telephone numbers
of government agencies, many of which have changed or
been disconnected in recent months. Also added
Justice Department information line number for in-
formation on the Americans with Disabilities Act.
[93/1]
. THIS UPDATE FILE has been added, a useful feature for
users which we will continue to provide with each new
quarterly update in the future.
. BUILT-IN ORDER FORM. In addition, we have built in a
feature that now allows you to print out the order
form to send to us (with $$ enclosed), if you want to
order an update or program upgrade, or the companion
book that we sell here and in bookstores, STARTING &
OPERATING A BUSINESS IN @STATE.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
NOTE: Things change....Rapidly.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The above are changes made in the last 4 quarterly updates,
not including earlier revisions. Thus, if you have an ear-
lier version of the program issued more than 3 months ago,
there are a great many update changes since then that are
NOT listed above, since those have long since been incor-
porated into the program, and, from our point of view, are
now ancient history.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│AS YOU WILL NOTE FROM THE FOREGOING CHANGES, THE LAWS│
│AFFECTING BUSINESS TEND TO CHANGE VERY RAPIDLY, AND│
│THIS PROGRAM IS REVISED ON ALMOST A DAILY BASIS TO│
│KEEP UP WITH THE FLOOD OF TAX AND LEGAL CHANGES THAT│
│OCCUR. ACCORDINGLY, IF THIS PROGRAM IS MORE THAN A│
│YEAR OLD, A LARGE PORTION OF THE INFORMATION IN IT│
│IS LIKELY TO BE DANGEROUSLY OUT-OF-DATE. WE ISSUE UP-│
│DATES OF THE PROGRAM EVERY 3 MONTHS AT A VERY REASON-│
│ABLE PRICE. TRY US. │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
AND COMING ENHANCEMENTS AND ATTRACTIONS NOW IN THE WORKS...
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
We are constantly expanding and updating the subject mat-
ter and coverage of this program, as well as adding new
features. Here is a partial list of a few items we are
researching (and translating into plain English!) now, for
inclusion in the next two quarterly releases of the program
(Summer/Fall 1993):
. AUTOMOBILE EXPENSES. A new segment will be added on
taking deductions for automobile and travel & enter-
tainment expenses.
. ARE YOU READY TO START A BUSINESS? A new segment is
to be added on characteristics of successful entrepre-
neurs, and factors you should consider before you
start a business.
. SHOULD YOU HIRE EMPLOYEES? A new feature, which will
suggest a few things you need to consider before you
hire your first employee.
OTHER PLANNED FEATURES....
──────────────────────────
We also add new features to the program from time to time,
and will be adding any of a number of other modules we are
considering right now, at some time during the following
3 or 4 quarterly updates.
