In this episode you will learn: - The Disabled Access Credit is for small businesses with under $1 million in prior-year receipts OR 30 or fewer full-time employees. - How to calculate the Disabled Access Credit as 50% of eligible expenditures between $250 and $10,250, for a maximum credit of $5,000. - The FICA Tip Credit is for food and beverage employers for their share of FICA taxes paid on certain employee tips. - An exam trap for the FICA Tip Credit is to use the statutory $5.15 per hour rate in calculations, not the current federal minimum wage. - Employers claiming the FICA Tip Credit cannot also deduct the portion of FICA taxes that generated the credit.
