In 2017, George’s business generated revenue of $265,000 and incurred expenses of $28,000 for rent and utilities for an office. George also spent $18,000 purchasing depreciable equipment used in the business and paid a part time secretary $22,000 for administrative work performed during the year. He hired Mary, an assistant to help him in his consulting practice and paid her $50,000.George paid $6,000 for his own health insurance and $1,0000 for term life insurance. He did not contribute to any retirement plans.Amal also works as a consultant, but is employed by a large firm. Her salary in 2017 was $185,000. Amal’s employer paid $30,000 of premiums for her health insurance and provided $50,000 of group term life insurance to each of its employees. Amal is not covered by a qualified retirement plan at work, but she contributed $15,000 to a traditional IRA.Amal routinely travels for her job and was reimbursed by her employer for all travel expenses. In addition, Amal spent $1,000 on other employee business expenses that were not reimbursed by her employer.What are the tax consequences of these items? Can George and Amal deduct the expenses they incurred? Are there other tax planning opportunities the couple may be missing or tax issues of which they should be aware? Are they both self-employed or are they employees?
