An Entrepreneurs Gift to the World

Posted on December 24, 2016 by Gary

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Lights, presents, family, food and more food. Everybody loves the holidays. A time when people seem to be a little nicer and just a little more giving. In light of the holiday season, David Hagenbuch, Associate Professor of Marketing at Messiah College and founder of MindfulMarketing.org gives a shout out to entrepreneurs and their gifts to the world.

The 3 Gifts Entrepreneurs Give to the World

1. Ideas

“We live in a society where it’s so easy to be a critic and point out what’s wrong in what others have done. Meanwhile, it’s much more challenging to create — to come up with a new approach that no one has ever thought of before, or to make an incremental improvement to an already good concept. Such new ideas are golden.

“New ideas also implant a sense of optimism and hope: We don’t need to accept the status quo. Things can be different. Things can be better.”

2. Innovations

“Innovations from entrepreneurs such as Johannes Gutenberg, Henry Ford and Steve Jobs have enriched humanity throughout history and transformed our world. From the minute we wake in the morning until the moment we lay down to sleep at night, entrepreneurial products and services facilitate our work, play and nearly every other activity we perform.”

3. Employment

“Many professions offer extraordinary gifts to individuals and society: physicians give health, teachers impart wisdom, judges bestow justice, counselors offer direction and soldiers provide protection. What do entrepreneurs give of such significance? Jobs.

“To provide another with gainful employment is one of the most profound gifts one can give. While doctors heal people physically, business owners heal people economically. A job allows someone to provide for his/her own needs as well as those of loved ones and even others. Employment is much more than financial security, however. For most people, meaningful work helps provide them with a sense of purpose and supports their self-worth.”

For these three reasons, today GQ Law would like to say ‘thank you’ to all of you entrepreneurs out there. It’s that spirit of innovation, creation and giving that employs our families, drives our economy and gives us opportunity.

From one entrepreneur to another, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

October 15th: Tax Day the Sequel

Posted on October 7, 2014 by Gary

October 15th: Tax Day the Sequel

We all know the dreaded April 15^th is Tax Day. However, there is a less infamous cousin of Tax Day: October 15^th, the deadline to file taxes for those who received an extension for filing.

The IRS allows taxpayers to request a six month extension to complete their taxes. I am sure those businesses and individuals immediately felt a sense of relief at the time when their extensions were granted. Last year, over 12 million individuals requested an extension according to the IRS.

Fast forward six months, and the dreaded October 15th deadline is looming over their heads again if they had not planned ahead. Understandably, life gets busy and people put off dealing with their taxes when more immediate matters require their attention, especially if they run small businesses.

So this is a friendly reminder to all you extension filers out there to do your taxes by October 15^th!

It is important to remember that the six month extension is for filing only; it does not extend the time you have to pay your tax liability without penalties. What if you cannot afford the taxes you owe the IRS or are having other tax related problems?

California Attorney Gary Quackenbush has been helping people like you resolve tax problems with the IRS through Offers in Compromise and Installment plans since 1988. He knows the IRS and will fight for you. Make an appointment to meet with him for your free consultation soon to see what he can do for you to help alleviate your tax problems.

Can I File Bankruptcy?

Posted on September 23, 2014 by Gary

Can I File Bankruptcy?

Whether you qualify or not to file bankruptcy is dictated by a mechanical calculation created by the court to determine your ability to pay back their debt.

As you read on you will learn that this a complicated and confusing qualification process. We HIGHLY recommend that you meet with a bankruptcy professional in person to discuss your particular situation. Contact us online or call us at 858-549-8600 to set up for FREE bankruptcy consultation solutions with San Diego Attorney Gary Quackenbush and his staff. We’ve been helping people like to to get out from under overwhelming debt and to get back on their feet through filing bankruptcy since 1988 and would love to help you.

Bankruptcy Means Test

In 2005 the Federal Bankruptcy Code was revamped; creditors lobbied congress very hard to try and make it more difficult for people to qualify to completely eliminate their debts in Bankruptcy. Congress passed what was called BAPCA (Bankruptcy Abuse and Consumer Protection Act), which produced what is referred to as the “Bankruptcy Means Test”; the calculation that is used to answer the question “Can I File Bankruptcy?”.

In summary, the test looks at an average of the applicants gross monthly household income for six months prior to filing, then deducts some of the applicants real expenses, and many others that are pre-determined by the IRS standard allowances. At the conclusion of the test, if the applicant is negative, or in other words has more expenses than income without accounting for unsecured debt payments, they qualify for a Chapter 7 to eliminate all of their unsecured debts. If the result of the “Means Test” calculation is positive, or in other words if the calculation shows that after all expenses are accounted for there is remaining disposable income, then the applicant will only qualify to file a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy and be required to make payments of the amount disposable each month for three to five years (term depending on other factors of the test).

Debtors Assets

Another issue to consider in discussing Bankruptcy qualification is the debtor’s assets. Although it is income that dictates qualification for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, there is only so much value in assets that can be protected or “exempted” in a Chapter 7, while concurrently eliminating unsecured debts. There are two sets of exemption laws that can be used to protect a debtor’s assets in a Chapter 7: California Civil Procedure Code 703 and California Procedure Code 704. Debtors can only use one or the other when filing a Chapter 7.

The former is referred to as a “wildcard” exemption, which provides for the protection of approximately $24,000 in miscellaneous assets. 703 also provides for the protection of some additional assets such as motor vehicles, household goods, etc., however they are less than generous in amounts allowed. Qualified ERIZA retirement accounts, however, can be generously protected up to approximately $1,000,000 when using either CCPC 703 or CCPC 704 in a Chapter 7. 704 is referred to as the “Homestead Exemption”, and depending on the debtor’s age, can protect up to $175,000 in equity in the debtor’s primary residence. When using 704, however, the remaining exemption amounts for vehicles and other assets are extremely limited. It is important to consider that an applicant can voluntarily enter into a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, however they cannot voluntarily exit. Therefore, it is extremely critical that an experienced attorney determines whether a debtor’s assets can be protected, or “exempted” in a Chapter 7 prior to the case being filed.

Bankruptcy: Detroit, Radio Shack and You

Posted on September 17, 2014 by Gary

Bankruptcy

For anyone considering filing bankruptcy, hearing the word itself can cause sheer panic. Rest assured that if the new “b” word sends you into shock, you are not alone. According to the US Courts website 1,072,807 individuals and 34,892 businesses filed for bankruptcy (BK) protection in 2013. If you think that the total of 1,107,699 filed in 2013 is a lot, just take a look at 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Total filed by Year

2013- 1,107,699

2012- 1,261,140

2011- 1,467,221

2010- 1, 596,355

With media buzz that Radio Shack, once everyone’s go-to shop for all things electronic, now on the brink of filing bankruptcy and frequent news from the City of ongoing Bankruptcy battles in court, its no wonder that “BANKRUPTCY” has become a big part of our American culture.

Many people have strong opinions about finances and how they should be handled. While most people would never want to file bankruptcy, a quick look at the numbers above shows that over a million people are left with no choice each year. The good news is that filing bankruptcy can protect you.

If you or someone you know is over run by creditors and behind on taxes bankruptcy may be a helpful option for them. Come set up a free meeting with Gary and his staff. They’ll help you look at all of your options and try to find a way to settle your debts without filing for bankruptcy. If bankruptcy ends up being the best option for you, Gary and his team are BK experts here to help you though the rough and tumble process.

The Measuring Stick: Determining the Strength of Your Workplace

Posted on August 30, 2014 by Gary

Image source: tothministries.org via Google search

Revenue, profit, sales volume – that’s easy enough for us to measure. But what about employee morale? Company culture? A manager’s effectiveness? Overall strength of a workplace? Now that’s tough. But, the Gallup Organization believes it’s possible, and so do I.

Over the course of 25 years Gallup studied these and other questions by interviewing over a million employees and gathering their answers to hundreds of similar questions. In the end, Gallup ran an in depth and extremely complex statistical analysis that ended up giving them the 12 questions that most strongly indicated the overall strength of a workplace. Here they are:

1. Do I know what is expected of me at work?

2. Do I have the materials and equipment I need to do my work right?

3. At work, do I have the opportunity to do what I do best every day?

4. In the last seven days, have I received recognition or praise for good work?

5. Does my supervisor, or someone at work, seem to care about me as a person?

6. Is there someone at work who encourages my development?

7. At work, do my opinions seem to count?

8. Does the mission/purpose of my company make me feel like my work is important?

9. Are my co-workers committed to doing quality work?

10. Do I have a best friend at work?

11. In the last six months, have I talked with someone about my progress?

12. At work, have I had opportunities to learn and grow?

Interesting, right? Now, these questions are in hierarchical order, meaning that number 2 is basically irrelevant without number 1 but once number 1 is at a solid rank (on a scale of 1-5) of 4 or 5 then you can move on to improving the following scores.

At first sight, some of these questions may seem either too simple (perhaps # 2) or a little irrelevant (perhaps # 10). But think about it. Can you imagine being a construction worker that doesn’t even feel like his nail gun works right? How excited is he going to be to get up and frame a house, knowing that half the day he’s going to be fighting with the compressor? Or what about the graphic designer who’s computer freezes all day long? And imagine the amount of commitment and low amount of turnover you’d have if each employee felt like he had a best friend at work. He would be happy to go each day.

As always though, remember that there is an order to these questions, the employee that has a best friend at work but doesn’t feel like she gets to do what she does best every day, may end up with a lack of productivity. Similarly, that employee may be bought into the vision of the organization (# 8) but may feel like she has no idea what is expected of her every day (# 1). Gallup recommends that we as managers start with the first 6 questions and then move up the ladder from there.

As always, here at GQ Law, we know what you expect of us, we have the resources and it’s what we do best. We look forward to helping you take care of all of your tax and legal questions, so don’t hesitate to call. We’re committed to quality work. Hope you’re enjoying the Summer!

IRS- Fresh Start Initiative

Posted on August 26, 2014 by Gary

IRS Fresh Start Initiative Gives Taxpayers Hope

The IRS Fresh Start initiative is a program designed to help more tax payers successfully pay off their tax liability. The initiative allows more flexible terms to Offer In Compromise (OIC) and enables some of the most financially distressed taxpayers to clear their tax liability and to do it more quickly. In many cases this allows people to resolve their tax liability in as little as 2 years instead of the 4-5 years that its taken in the past.

This Fresh Start initiative in different in that it uses a different standard of analysis to determine who can qualify for an Offer In Compromise. Some of the changes include:

Revised calculations for tax payers future income
Allowing taxpayers to repay student loans
Allowing taxpayers to pay delinquent state and local taxes
Expanding the Allowable Living Expense category and amount

An Offer In Compromise (OIC) typically is an agreement between the IRS and a taxpayer that settles the taxpayer’s tax liability for less than the full amount owed. A taxpayer has to apply for an OIC and be approved after a full review of qualifications. The IRS will not approve the OIC if they believe the tax liability owed can be paid in full- either as a lump sum or as part of an “Installment Agreement” that allows that tax payer to pay off the liability over time. Being a complicated, negotiated process, the help of an experienced tax attorney is essential. You’ll need an attorney who knows how to work with the IRS, understands the ins and outs of tax problem resolution, can help you figure out which option is best for you and is willing to fight for you.

California Attorney Gary Quackenbush has been helping people like you resolve tax problems with the IRS through Offers in Compromise and Installment plans since 1988. He knows the IRS and will fight for you. Make an appointment to meet with him for your free consultation soon to see what he can do for you to help alleviate your tax problems.

Protecting Your Online Reputation for Entrepreneurs

Protecting Your Online Reputation

As an entrepreneur or new business owner, protecting your online reputation is essential.

Whether or not you run your business online, in our tech savvy and internet dependent world, your online reputation is key to success as a business owner.

“Before the Internet connected the entire world, your business reputation was something that you built, not managed. Fallout from the customer complaints you couldn’t fix was of limited scope. Today, the Internet acts like a lens that magnifies every blemish, perceived insult and mistake—and then broadcasts it with a bullhorn.” Time.com

Just one negative review by a customer on a review site like Yelp or Google can seriously damage your reputation and eventually, your business’ bottom line.
