For sellers, profits garnered through the sale\u00a0of a home\u00a0are a factor come tax time, but so are expenses required to successfully sell a property, from advertising to surveys and closing\u00a0attorney\u00a0fees. For buyers, mortgage interest points and ensuing mortgage payments are suddenly a concern, as are home\u00a0renovations, travel and moving expenses, and other\u00a0necessities\u00a0that may\u00a0have a positive impact on your tax return.<\/span><span data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Well, buying or selling a business has the\u00a0same\u00a0underling\u00a0principals\u00a0as\u00a0buying\u00a0a house, but\u00a0it is a little more complicated.<\/span><span data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":1,\"335551620\":1,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If you are selling a business, how do you factor in all your business assets that may have depreciated\u00a0or appreciated\u00a0over the years? Is it better to sell your business for a one-time cash payment, or will your annual taxes benefit from payment installments? How does\u00a0the length of time that you have\u00a0owned the business come\u00a0into play, and what expenses during the\u00a0selling\u00a0process can\u00a0boost\u00a0your tax return?\u00a0What about\u00a0the intricacies when it comes to the type of business and ownership, such as\u00a0sole proprietorships, partnerships,\u00a0and LLCs?<\/span><span data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This terrain is equally tricky to navigate for buyers, as well, both for the immediate sale, and for the\u00a0future\u00a0work\u00a0that running a business requires. Once a buyer purchases a business, there are brand\u00a0new levels of tax laws to consider that can range from\u00a0employment taxes to state sales tax liabilities. If your business makes a profit, or simply breaks even, how does that translate on your annual tax return?\u00a0\u00a0What about all those expenses, from equipment purchases\u00a0to help wanted ads, that correspond with your business purchase to begin with?<\/span><span data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These are just a few\u00a0of\u00a0the basic questions to consider when selling or buying a business.\u00a0Keep in mind that during almost every\u00a0business sale\u00a0transaction, some surprise\u00a0scenarios\u00a0will almost certainly pop up along the way.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Last minute contract changes are not uncommon when it comes to the sale of a business. This\u00a0can be coupled with\u00a0financing difficulties or adjustments, valuation changes, equipment\u00a0included\u00a0or excluded in the sale, and\u00a0several\u00a0additional\u00a0unforeseen hurdles that can be difficult to\u00a0deal\u00a0with\u00a0on a daily basis.<\/span><span data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Most\u00a0important, regardless of whether you are a buyer or seller, you want to ensure two essential takeaways from the sale.
