If You Can’t Juggle, Hire A Memphis CPA Firm
Oct 31st
Our Memphis CPA firm knows that running a business is kind of like being in the circus.
I took my son to the circus when he was smaller and he was thrilled to see the clowns that could juggle bowling pins, knives, chainsaws and apples. The best part was when the clown would juggle these objects and then take a bite out of the apple as he was juggling everything else. The exciting part was knowing that if he wasn’t completely focused that he might end up taking a bite of of the chainsaw.

Credit vs. Deduction? A Memphis CPA Can Help
Sep 13th
Terry Griffith of the Memphis CPA firm, The Griffith Firm, explains the difference between a credit and a deduction.
The question that comes up a lot, is “what’s the difference between a credit and a deduction?” Credit; let me give you an example. Lets say you have a child who is younger than 17 years old and you’re filing jointly with your wife and your income is less than a hundred thousand dollars for the year. You are entitled to a thing called the Child Tax Credit. Now that Child Tax Credit is typically a thousand dollars for each child who’s under 17 years old. That means you’re going to get $1000 in your pocket. So, that is a thousand dollars you’re going to get for each child if your eligible for that particular credit. As your Memphis CPA firm we can help you understand what will be best for you.

One of many questions that we get as a Memphis CPA at the Griffith Firm during tax season is, “can I take this person as a dependent?” Well, to be able to claim someone as a dependent you have to pass a certain test.
Memphis CPA Dependent Check List
One of the tests is, has that person taken themselves or has been taken on another tax return or a jointly filed tax return? If they’ve been taken on someone else’s tax return, or if they’re married and have been taken on their own tax return then you can not take them as a dependent.
