That’s right! Even if your previous R&D project didn’t succeed, you can still leverage Tax Credits and a range of financial programs to improve your cash flow and support your next business venture.

Failed Projects still earn R&D Tax Credits
Failed Projects still earn R&D Tax Credits

Encouragement from Dennis Bays

As a successful business owner, you know that innovation comes with risk—and sometimes, projects don’t pan out as planned. The good news? The R&D Tax Credit is designed to reward the effort of innovation, not just the outcome. Even if your energy-saving idea didn’t work, you may still qualify for valuable tax incentives and other funding programs to boost your cash flow for your next big project.

1. R&D Tax Credit: You Don’t Need a “Win” to Benefit

The R&D Tax Credit is available to businesses that invest in developing new or improved products, processes, or technologies—even if those projects fail in testing. What matters is that your activities meet the IRS’s four-part test:

  • Aimed at improving a business component
  • Based on hard sciences or engineering
  • Intended to resolve technical uncertainty
  • Involving a process of experimentation

You can claim the credit for qualified expenses even if the project didn’t result in a commercial product or process.

2. How to Claim Credits for Past R&D Expenses

If you incurred eligible R&D expenses in previous years, you may still be able to claim the credit retroactively by filing an amended tax return. Here’s how:

StepWhat to DoDetails
1Check the Statute of LimitationsGenerally, you have 3 years from the original filing date or due date of the return to amend and claim the credit.
2File the Right FormsUse IRS Form 6765 to calculate the credit and file it with the appropriate amended return (e.g., Form 1120X for corporations).
3Gather DocumentationYou’ll need to document your R&D activities, expenses, and the business components involved. The IRS has recently streamlined some requirements, waiving the need to list individual researchers at filing, but you should still keep detailed records.
4Respond to IRS RequestsIf your claim is missing information, the IRS will give you 45 days to provide the details.

Don’t Leave Money on the Table:

We help entrepreneurs claim credits for current expenses, but also for past work they put in on a project. Unfortunately, we also regularly speak with businesspeople who miss out on R&D tax credits because when they don’t realize what can be included.  Americore Group has a team who comb through information and records to determine the maximum fair credits a business can claim.

Recent Tax Credit Change:

The White House administration has made it easier to claim the credit for past years by allowing immediate expensing of domestic R&D costs (no more five-year amortization for U.S. projects), and by providing a special retroactive election for small businesses to apply this rule to 2022–2024 expenses. The deadline for this retroactive election is July 4, 2026.

3. What’s New Under the Current Administration

  • Immediate Expensing Restored: You can now deduct domestic R&D costs in the year they’re incurred, rather than spreading them over five years.
  • Catch-Up Deductions: If you previously had to capitalize R&D costs, you can deduct the remaining balance in 2025 (or split between 2025 and 2026).
  • Retroactive Relief for Small Businesses: If your average annual gross receipts were $31 million or less (2022–2024), you can amend past returns to claim immediate expensing for those years.
  • Updated IRS Forms: The IRS has revised Form 6765, requiring more detailed project-level information starting with 2026 tax returns (optional for 2025).
  • Payroll Tax Offset: If you’re a qualified small business, you can use up to $500,000 of your credit per year to offset payroll taxes, improving cash flow even if you’re not profitable yet.

4. Alternative Programs to Enhance Cash Flow

If you’re looking for additional ways to fund your new energy-saving project, consider these options:

  • SBIR/STTR Grants: Federal programs that provide non-dilutive funding for innovative R&D, including energy efficiency projects. The Department of Energy is a major participant.
  • DOE Grants and Loans: The Department of Energy offers grants, technical assistance, and commercialization support for energy-saving technologies.
  • SBA Loans: The Small Business Administration’s 7(a), 504, and microloan programs can provide working capital or equipment financing.
  • State Incentives: Many states offer grants, tax credits, and low-interest loans for energy projects.
  • Private Funding: Green banks, impact investors, and venture capital may be available for projects with strong commercialization potential.

Most of these programs do not disqualify you for having a previous project that didn’t succeed. They focus on the potential of your new idea and your commitment to innovation.

5. Summary Table: Key R&D Tax Credit and Funding Updates

Feature/Program2025–2026 Update/Benefit
R&D Tax Credit EligibilityProject success not required; failed R&D still qualifies if it meets IRS criteria
Immediate ExpensingAllowed for domestic R&D costs (no more 5-year amortization)
Retroactive ElectionSmall businesses can amend 2022–2024 returns for immediate expensing (deadline: 7/4/26)
Payroll Tax OffsetUp to $500,000/year for qualified small businesses
Amended Return Window3 years from original filing date or due date
SBIR/STTR & DOE GrantsAvailable for new energy-saving projects, regardless of past failures
State & Private FundingAdditional options for cash flow and project support

Final Thoughts

Even if your last R&D project didn’t succeed, you have powerful tools at your disposal to enhance cash flow and fund your next venture. The R&D Tax Credit, especially with recent rule changes, can provide immediate and retroactive benefits. Combine this with grants, loans, and state incentives, and you’ll be well-positioned to pursue your next big idea.

Stay optimistic. Innovation is a journey, and every step (even the setbacks) can lead to new opportunities for growth Falcon Wealth Advisors*

Introduction: Tax Planning as a Strategic Advantage https://americoreusa.com/2025/08/12/tax-planning-as-a-strategic-advantage/ https://americoreusa.com/2025/08/12/tax-planning-as-a-strategic-advantage/#comments Tue, 12 Aug 2025 13:35:25 +0000 https://americoreusa.com/?p=38936 Tax planning is far more than a once-a-year obligation. For high-net-worth individuals, business owners, and investors, a complex tax strategy is one of the most effective ways to protect assets, grow wealth, and ensure compliance in an ever-changing regulatory environment.

A red stamp with text on it

The problem? Without the right advisors — including tax attorneys, CPAs, and strategic financial consultants — tax planning can become a maze of missed deductions, overpaid liabilities, and compliance risks.

At AmeriCore, we specialize in connecting clients to a trusted CPA network and tax attorney consulting team that collaborates on every aspect of your financial picture. Together, we help you minimize liabilities, maximize returns, and position yourself for long-term success.

AmeriCoreusa.com Personal Finance

Why Complex Tax Strategies Require Specialized Expertise

The U.S. tax code spans over 6,500 pages, with thousands of additional pages in regulations, IRS rulings, and state-specific laws. For individuals and businesses with diverse income streams or complex holdings, the standard approach to tax preparation isn’t enough.

You may need a specialized strategy if you:

  • Own a business with multiple revenue streams or operate in more than one state
  • Receive stock options, RSUs, or significant investment income
  • Have large charitable giving or philanthropic activities
  • Hold international assets or conduct cross-border business
  • Anticipate major capital gains events (real estate sales, asset liquidation, mergers)

Without targeted planning, these scenarios can lead to overpayment of taxes, audit exposure, and missed legal opportunities for savings.

ResourceShark Tax/Accounting

AmeriCore’s Three-Pillar Approach to Advanced Tax Planning

Our proven process is built on three core pillars:

1. Comprehensive Review & Tax Stress Point Identification

Before building a plan, we conduct a deep-dive review of past returns, current structures, and income sources. This allows us to pinpoint “tax stress points” — areas where liabilities are higher than they need to be.

Example stress points include:

  • Inefficient entity structure for business operations
  • Misaligned investment and tax strategies
  • Underutilized retirement and deferred compensation plans

2. Collaborative Planning with CPAs and Tax Attorneys

Unlike firms that work in silos, AmeriCore coordinates CPA expertise with tax attorney oversight to ensure every strategy is legally sound and financially optimized.

Our CPA partners:

  • Identify deductions, credits, and exemptions
  • Provide accurate reporting and ensure IRS compliance

Our tax attorney partners:

  • Structure transactions for maximum protection
  • Represent clients in complex tax disputes or audits
  • Advice on trust, estate, and entity structuring

By combining these perspectives, we create strategic tax solutions that address both the legal and financial dimensions of your plan.

3. Ongoing Strategy Monitoring & Adjustment

Tax planning isn’t a set-and-forget process. Regulations, market conditions, and personal circumstances change, which means your strategy must evolve as well.

We review your plan quarterly to understand:

  • Capture new tax-saving opportunities
  • Adjust to legislative changes
  • Align with shifts in your income, investments, or goals

Case Study: Saving $250,000 in Capital Gains Taxes

A commercial real estate investor came to AmeriCore after years of paying steep capital gains taxes. By restructuring their business entity, timing asset sales strategically, and leveraging 1031 exchanges, we helped them:

  • Reduce taxable income by $250,000 over three years
  • Defer additional gains for reinvestment
  • Integrate retirement contributions for further liability reduction

When to Engage AmeriCore for Tax Strategy Support

You should consider working with us if you:

  • Anticipate a major life or business change (sales, acquisition, expansion)
  • Have investments with significant unrealized gains
  • Feel your current CPA or preparer isn’t proactively saving you money
  • Want a long-term, integrated approach to tax, investment, and business planning

6 Ways to Re-Build Your Emergency Buffer https://americoreusa.com/2025/03/14/6-ways-to-rebuild-your-emergency-buffer/ Fri, 14 Mar 2025 15:37:58 +0000 https://americoreusa.com/?p=38913 As professionals, we often focus on career growth, investments, and long-term financial goals. You set the clocks ahead and probably changed the batteries in your smoke detectors too. But have you recently taken a moment to review one of the most critical components of financial stability—your emergency fund? Life is unpredictable, and unexpected expenses like medical emergencies, home repairs, or sudden job changes can arise at any moment. That’s why maintaining and replenishing your emergency buffer is crucial.

Americore- 6 Ways to Build your Emergency Buffer
Building your Emergency Buffer fund

If your fund has been depleted recently due to unforeseen circumstances, now is the time to rebuild it. Here are six practical ways to help you restore your emergency fund without putting undue strain on your current budget.

1.Check your Buffer or Emergency Fund

Take a moment to look at your emergency fund balance and compare it to your cost of living at your current level. An emergency buffer should have between three and six months built up as a minimum to cover a wide variety of possible events. Next

2. Set a Clear Goal 

Before you start saving, determine how much you need in your emergency fund. Normally, people aim for three to six months’ worth of living expenses but look at your own circumstances. If you’re in a higher-risk situation—for instance, self-employed or in a volatile industry—you may need a buffer closer to nine months’ worth. Setting a specific target ensures you know exactly what you’re working toward, which can keep you motivated throughout the process.

3.Automate Your Savings

One of the easiest ways to rebuild your emergency fund is to automate contributions. Set up an automatic transfer from your checking account to a high-yield savings account each time you get paid or at fixed intervals. Even small, consistent contributions add up over time. For example, transferring $100 each 2 week pay period will result in $2,400 saved after two years. Automation ensures that saving becomes a non-negotiable part of your financial routine.

4. Cut Back Temporarily on Non-Essential Spending

Consider reviewing your discretionary expenses and identifying areas where you can cut back for a few months. You can reduce dining out, subscription services, or luxury purchases without significantly affecting your quality of life. Redirecting this money toward your emergency fund can accelerate your progress. For instance, skipping a $40 weekly restaurant visit could free up $160 per month to contribute toward your savings.

5. Channel Unexpected Income Into Savings

Bonuses, tax refunds, or side hustle earnings are excellent opportunities to give your emergency fund a boost. Instead of using these windfalls for splurges, commit to putting them directly into your savings. Professionals often underestimate how much “found money” they receive over the course of a year; channeling these funds strategically can make a significant difference.

6. Sell Unused Items

Take stock of items you no longer need or use. From electronics to clothing, selling unused possessions can provide an immediate cash influx for your fund. Platforms like eBay, Poshmark, or Facebook Marketplace make it easy to turn clutter into savings. This approach not only builds your buffer fund but also streamlines your living or work space. It’s a win-win!

Food for Thought

Your emergency fund is the financial safety net that provides peace of mind in uncertain times. If it’s been depleted, don’t panic—start with small, actionable steps like the ones above to replenish it. Even as a busy professional, setting aside time to prioritize this aspect of your financial health is invaluable.

Remember, emergencies don’t come with warnings. By taking proactive measures today, you’ll ensure you’re prepared for whatever challenges tomorrow may bring.

Bonus Thought: Get rewarded for your good behavior.

Americore regularly helps clients analyze and improve their financial situation. We enhance wealth growth and protection through a wide range of underutilized programs the government wants Americans to use. Whether due to confusion over how to complete the application or obscurity of the program, we can help  your team to decipher and correctly apply.

Be in the Black by Black Friday https://americoreusa.com/2024/11/20/be-in-the-black-by-black-friday/ Wed, 20 Nov 2024 18:50:45 +0000 https://americoreusa.com/?p=38894 In the black or enjoying positive cash flow on the income/expense sheet is a reality for many entrepreneurs, while only a dream for others.. As the holiday season approaches, businesses begin to shift their focus towards maximizing profits during one of the biggest shopping events of the year: Black Friday. However, the journey to being in the black by “Black Friday” doesn’t start in November; it’s a year-round commitment that involves strategic planning, customer engagement, and operational efficiency. Here are several actions that businesses can take throughout the year to ensure they are ready to capitalize on the Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping frenzy.

ways to get in the black before the black friday shopping frenzy begins,

Build a Strong Brand Presence

Establishing a robust brand presence is crucial for attracting customers during the holiday season. Businesses should invest in marketing efforts that resonate with their target audience. This includes maintaining an active social media presence, engaging in community events, and taking part in local partnerships. The more visible and relatable a brand is, the more likely it will attract customers during the Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping sprees.

Learn and Understand Customer Preferences

Year-round market research is essential for understanding customer preferences and shopping behaviors. Businesses can use surveys, feedback forms, and social media interactions to gather insights into what their customers want. By knowing which products are popular, businesses can tailor their inventory to meet those demands, ensuring that they have the right items available when Black Friday arrives.

Optimize Inventory Management

Effective inventory management is key to ensuring that businesses can meet demand during the Thanksgiving and Black Friday rush. Companies should continuously analyze sales data to forecast trends and adjust their inventory levels accordingly. Maintaining a lean inventory throughout the year helps reduce waste and ensures that popular items are in stock when demand spikes. Moreover, businesses can take advantage of off-season sales to restock their inventory at a lower cost.

Enhance Customer Experience

A positive customer experience can lead to repeat business and increased sales. Companies should focus on improving their customer service, both online and in-store. This can include training staff to provide excellent service, streamlining the checkout process, and ensuring that the website is user-friendly. Creating a seamless shopping experience will encourage customers to return, especially during the busy Thanksgiving and Black Friday period.

Implement Loyalty Programs

Loyalty programs are effective tools for encouraging repeat business and increasing customer retention. By offering rewards, discounts, or exclusive access to sales for loyal customers, businesses can build a solid customer base that will be more likely to shop during the holiday season. Promoting these programs year-round keeps customers engaged and excited about upcoming sales, particularly around Thanksgiving and Black Friday.

Plan Promotions in Advance

Planning promotions and sales in advance allows businesses to generate buzz and anticipation leading up to Black Friday. Companies should consider launching sneak peeks or pre-Black Friday sales to gauge customer interest and encourage early shopping. Additionally, promoting these sales through email marketing and social media can create excitement and drive traffic to the store or website.

Utilize Data Analytics

Data analytics can provide valuable insights into customer behavior and sales trends. Businesses should leverage data to analyze previous years’ performances during the Thanksgiving and Black Friday periods. Understanding what worked and what didn’t, can help refine strategies for the upcoming holiday season. By using data to inform decisions, businesses can better align their efforts with customer expectations.

Reach Your Goal of In the Black by Black Friday

Preparing to be in the black by Black Friday requires a comprehensive approach that starts long before the holiday season. By building a strong brand presence, understanding customer preferences, optimizing inventory, enhancing customer experience, implementing loyalty programs, planning promotions, and using data analytics, businesses can position themselves for success. As Thanksgiving approaches, those who have laid the groundwork will be well-equipped to thrive during one of the busiest shopping days of the year. Embracing these strategies year-round ensures that businesses not only survive but also flourish in the competitive retail landscape.

Financial Experience Difference https://americoreusa.com/2023/01/27/the-financial-experience-difference/ Fri, 27 Jan 2023 23:15:59 +0000 https://americoreusa.com/?p=38717 Recently I came across an article on things your financial advisor may not tell you. They weren’t secretive, just inexperienced. The article  stood out because it illustrated how a financial advisor with experience makes a big difference to your financial wellbeing. 

Blue Apples

Dennis Bays, and his team of Americore professionals have decades of experience.  During those years, they became incredibly familiar with “Blue Apple” program details.  These are the details that most advisors and individuals miss at first glance.  Americore saw the value in familiarizing themselves with how the programs can free up or improve their clients’ financial position.  Ask your Americore professional about incentives, and he might tell you about an incentivized health care plan. Which program he discusses with you will be based on knowing your situation and which program would benefit you most. 

Let’s face it, employees today are very concerned about healthcare coverage.  To attract great workers, employers funnel an inordinate amount of money into covering their employees with a good, but “affordable” healthcare plan. Americore that healthcare plans for employees can pay employers when implemented.  Imagine actually getting paid while your employees get the care they want and need.  Americore loves a win-win situation and sought programs that offer beneficial situations like this.

The Difference in Financial Advisors is Experience

Employee Retention

We have survived the great recession, but that doesn’t mean employee retention isn’t a priority.  Motley Fools at fool.com reminds us that hiring replacement employees is expensive. Glassdoor states it costs on average, $4000 to hire a new employee, but that doesn’t include training. In the medical field, costs can run up to six figures to hire and train.  At Americore, we offer consulting services that can help guide you with employee retention.  We start by helping you make you find the right candidates.  We can guide you to best onboarding practices.  And once you have the right people, we can connect you to incentive programs that offset your employee recognition and appreciation costs.  Perks we suggest are another way you communicate to your employees that you appreciate them.  Employees that feel appreciated are more likely to stay.

Growth Funding

It may surprise some to learn that many businesses flourished during and after the lockdown in spite of continuing supply chain issues.  Business models continue to change now and into the future.  Regardless of ongoing recession and inflation many businesses are thriving.  This especially applies to businesses with a strong online presence, that offer robust online consumer experiences.  The lockdown sped up online consumer buying trends that were already shifting. In answer, Americore has been connecting clients to growth funding programs that facilitate change necessary for accessing opportunities in 2023 and beyond.

Employee Telemedicine

This is another fairly recent evolution in employee care.  It reduces the spread of COVID19 and other infectious diseases, as well as employee down time.  Instead of taking a whole day off to visit a doctor, an employee can login to a session to real time medical care by licensed, qualified medical professionals. 

Rebates

Since 2017 Florida’s economic development officials attracted businesses to the sunshine state by offering more incentives.  Florida officials were especially frustrated after the space Command headquarters went to Alabama after incentives were cut.  What followed was the Qualified Tax Incentive program offering tax rebates to targeted industries.  The QTI program offered tax refunds ranging from $3,000 to twice that in rural counties. 

Another job creation program, known as the job growth grant fund, is available on a national level.  The job growth grant fund offers rebates for employers willing to hire skilled labor at hourly wages that exceed minimum wage.  These are only a few of the hundreds of programs that we track across the United States. 

Experience the Americore Difference

It is important for you to know that at Americore, we don’t want to replace your team of advisors. We choose to empower them to facilitate the growth and wellness of your business.  We should have a conversation about the difference that an experienced Americore business advisor offers. You’ll be glad we did.

Your Business Could be Owed Incentive Money https://americoreusa.com/2022/10/28/your-business-could-be-owed-incentive-money/ https://americoreusa.com/2022/10/28/your-business-could-be-owed-incentive-money/#comments Fri, 28 Oct 2022 20:16:28 +0000 https://americoreusa.com/?p=38707 We all want to know when we’re owed money. At Americore, we daily help clients uncover what incentive money should be coming to them. Consequently, our work at Americore constantly reveals relevant programs that offer not only incentives, but credits and rebates as well.

The biggest obstacle we regularly face, is helping our clients understand government programs are real and legitimate. Those programs are the way our government encourages desirable business behaviors. You might already be practicing the behavior the government wants to reward you for doing. Why wouldn’t you accept their appreciation when it helps grow your business. To ignore the programs is to leave money on the table.

Americore Experience Yields Results.

Your business may be owed incentive money.
Your business may be owed incentive money.

For thirteen years Americore helped over 5000 clients receive money owed or save on tax bills. There are myriads of programs available to small and midsize businesses, yet they are rarely ever employed by those they were intended to help. Americore is intimately familiar with those programs. We know the documentation and information required for each program. We also know the proven program parameters and our clients have benefitted from our experience for years.

Our Knowledge Saves You Time.

That means we can quickly recognize which program will fit your business. The downside to using government programs is that the paperwork is cumbersome and complicated. The Upside to working with Americore, is that without any up front payments, we can guide you and your team through the application process. Trying to navigate the application process on your own often results in denials. Understanding application questions and program requirements is essential to receiving funds. With over thirteen years of experience, Americore has the expertise to guide you to approval time after time. Imagine your team, instead of applying and reapplying, working with Americore and getting the approval the on the first submission.

Instead of wasting time on programs that don’t fit, have your team or financial advisor talk to an Americore representative about which programs do fit. You can focus on plans that you and your firm are much more likely to benefit from. And that benefit comes much sooner than if you went after the wrong programs.

Learn if You or Your Business is Owed Incentive Money

Learn if your business is owed incentive, credit, or rebate money by speaking with an Americore advisor. We know the programs because Dennis Bays, CEO of Americore, has spent years investigating financially beneficial programs for clients. It is amazing to realize how rarely financial advisors use this prolific source of cash flow for their clients. Today, our focus is on guiding more business owners to funding opportunities, facilitating business growth and development.

We have become intimately familiar with a myriad of program opportunities, and we constantly watch for new possibilities. We aren’t trying to replace your existing team, but to work with them to maximize your cash flow through seldom utilized programs. There is considerable funding available, and not asking for your share is a waste.  Talk to us. Americore has a history of finding the Credits, Rebates & Incentives that businesses qualify for, but rarely ever know about.

Starting the Conversation…

Are you one of the 5000 clients we have saved thousands of dollars or freed up to millions of dollars for operating capital? If not, we should have a conversation.

Call our office at 747-224-8110 or contact us here. Tell your Americore Group representative what you’re looking for, and we’ll tell you how we think we can help you make that happen.

Entrepreneurs are generally a smart group of people. It takes intelligence to come up with a unique idea, develop and market it, and successfully run a business based on it. So how is it that they aren’t taking advantage of programs designed to boost their business success?  You may be surprised to learn financial advisors are fighting a wide diversity or reasons businesses lose out on millions of dollars.

Financial Advisors Fight a Lack of Awareness

Though there are many programs designed to benefit small and midsized businesses, the business owners these programs were created for, often don’t know they are eligible to benefit. Others are concerned using the programs will raise red flags on their tax returns. The truth is that our government creates programs to encourage certain types of businesses, and behaviors.  Sadly, many businesses and their financial advisors remain largely unaware of the financial opportunities available.

Thought America is seen as a country built on self-sufficiency, all of us can benefit from help now and then. Why not take advantage of programs that will accelerate the growth of your business? Dennis Bays has spent a career familiarizing himself with programs that increase personal wealth or business cash flow, including growth funding. He can walk your team through options that can save money or increase your cash flow. He does this without charging anything up front. If you don’t benefit, neither does he.

Entrepreneurs are Frustrated With Application Process

Sometimes people tell us that they already applied and got denied for a certain program. Those same people tell us “It’s not worth the time and effort only to get turned down anyway.” Since many of the programs are government programs, there are forms and procedures that must be exactly followed. This is where an Americore professional like Dennis Bays can make the difference. Dennis can walk your team through the application process. He know what information is critical to the application decision process. He also knows what information the forms are requesting and how to complete them correctly. Often a denial is really just incorrect or incomplete forms. When Dennis helps with an application, the application package will be complete AND correct. He has years of experience and knowledge in this area, with a great record of Blue Apple, KNA Blue Partner program approval.

Concern Over Program Legitimacy

When we attend events, we repeatedly hear concerns that funding/incentive programs might be illegal scams, or IRS red flags. The opposite is true. There are many programs created by the government, to benefit small to midsize businesses. The federal government created these legitimate programs to encourage behaviors like hiring more employees, or offering health benefits. Federal Workforce Programs and the Employee Retention Tax Credit, subsidize critical desired employer behavior. There are also R&D programs for inventing or improving products and the manufacturing process. Funding and incentive programs are legitimate ways to save on taxes or increase your cash flow. Why wouldn’t you take advantage of a benefit designed just for you?

Assumption of Ineligibility

When times are tight, business owners may not be able to invest in research and development. There is a federal program that can help. Many business owners assumed their business isn’t eligible to receive R&D funding. That assumption is often wrong. Before you slash your budget, let’s start a conversation. A program designed with your situation in mind can take some of your burden off your shoulders.

The Entrepreneurial Spirit

Dennis comes from a family rich with entrepreneurial spirit. His father had a law firm and real estate brokerage firm among other businesses. Since Dennis Bays was a teen he has owned several of his own businesses, even while earning a W-2 salary in corporate America. Along the way, he discovered a love for the entrepreneurs of our country and has funded well over $100,000,000 for other businesses.

As for why he loves entrepreneurs, Dennis responded, “they’re the secret sauce… They create opportunities and industries; they give most of the rest of us opportunities to work. ”    

The Tax Code is NOT just for the Rich.

But many entrepreneurs seem to be facing a disparity. Taxes are considered an unavoidable liability. Still, we’ve all seen news reports of fortune 500 companies who don’t pay them. We’ve also seen billions of dollars handed out of government programs to those same big companies. The thing is, “the tax code is written for all businesses.”  And tax savings programs are NOT just for the “big guys”.

Sadly, while small businesspeople are focused on growing their small to mid-sized businesses, they miss opportunities. The fortune 500 companies have teams of professionals spending their days in finding and leveraging those same wealth building programs.

Tax Incentives for your Business

Tax incentives have become a way for the government to stimulate certain business  activities. Small businesses are often performing the same activities the rich are getting paid to carry out. Regrettably, the government is not great at promoting those programs to more businesses.

Americore makes it their business even the playing field for activities the government wants to encourage, even in small businesses. Since the government wants to foster these behaviors, they aren’t looking to punish businesses for using the related  program.

Still businesses hesitate to take advantage of available benefits. Whether it stems from unfamiliarity with the programs or incorrectly completed paperwork many entrepreneurs are missing out. By working with small to midsize businesses to correctly complete program documentation, Americore facilitates use existing program in the tax code.

As Dennis Likes to say, “CPAs help you with the [tax] loopholes; we help you with the programs.”  These are not just tax reductions or write offs. These are programs that release money set aside for certain government encouraged business activities.

Examples of Some of Dennis Bays’ Favorite Programs

You may wonder what type of activities the government rewards. You’ll be familiar with some, but we’ll go over a few anyway.

Everyone knows if you buy a house there is a mortgage interest credit. The government offers this tax break because a neighborhood with more homeowners is a more stable neighborhood than one with transient renters.

If you buy an electric car or solar panels for your home, the government will offer tax credits because they want the country to reduce carbon emissions.

For businesses who are looking for more better products or more efficient operation methods, there is an R&D credit. If you hire certain workers or have a business in a certain zip code, the government might help with your business costs.

There is also a program for employee healthcare insurance. If you offer health insurance to your employees, you can receive up to $2500 a year per employee.

These are just a few of many more programs out there, designed to encourage certain behavior.

Americore can help your business benefit from many of the same programs the “big guys” use. Call our office at 747-224-8110 or contact us here. Tell your Americore Group representative  what you’re looking for, and we’ll tell you how we think we can help you make that happen.
