YEAR END TAX PLANNING INFORMATION
We prepare our financials on a GAAP basis to report in our SEC filings – 10Q, 10K, and the newsletters, using our fiscal year, which ends September 30. Our tax returns, however, are on a calendar year and are prepared with tax accounting methods, which are different from GAAP accounting.
Several items, such as depreciation of plant assets and amortization of start-up expenses, create “timing differences” between the GAAP financial statements and the tax returns. Tax depreciation was on a significantly accelerated schedule during the early stages of our operations, which decreased taxable income compared to GAAP income.
Please note the following reminder regarding 2021 expected tax considerations:
| ☐ | Passive Loss– For some of our Members losses from passive activities are deductible only to the extent of the taxpayer’s income from other passive activities. Passive activity losses not used currently may be carried forward. |
