New York City native Whitney Mulqueen has been working in the equine industry for her entire adult life. Two years ago, she relocated from northeastern Pennsylvania to Saratoga County.
“I came here to immerse myself in the horse industry—just not the racing part of it,” she said. “It ended up being the best decision I could have made in terms of career and doing what I really enjoy.”
After relocating, she was offering riding lessons through her teaching business, Celtic Crest Farm LLC. In July, she moved her business to a leased space in Ballston Spa and opened Rewind Equine Tack & Consignment at 76 Front St. in Ballston Spa.

By Christine Graf
As 2019 draws to a close, local tax professionals advise individuals who pay estimated quarterly taxes to review their annual income in order to determine if they will owe a penalty to the IRS.
Estimated tax payments are paid by business owners who operate partnerships, LLCs, sole proprietorships, and S corporations. Business income from these pass-through tax entities passes through to business owners on their personal income tax returns.
Those who operate pass-through tax entities are required to make estimated quarterly tax payments to pay income tax and self-employment tax on income that is not subject to withholding.
The IRS requires estimated quarterly tax payment to be filed by anyone who expects to owe at least $1,000 in federal income taxes. This year’s fourth quarter estimated tax payments are due on Jan. 15. Estimated taxes must also be paid quarterly to New York state.
According to Kevin Hedley, CPA, of Hedley & Co. CPA’s in Clifton Park, business owners who are in an underpayment penalty situation should consider making contributions to a retirement plan.

Business Report: Diversified Approach To Retirement Savings

For most people, saving for retirement means making steady contributions to a 401(k) until they hit a specific goal. However, a broader approach to saving and investing offers more options for building that nest egg.
Keep in mind that where you put your money is as important as how much you save. That’s because each savings strategy has tax considerations that can impact how much you’ll have when it’s time to take the money out. By keeping a mix of tax-free and tax-deferred sources of income, you’ll have the flexibility to withdraw funds strategically during retirement, based on tax and market implications.
While tax-qualified retirement plans like 401(k)s and 403(b)s are the most common retirement savings plans, they shouldn’t be your only option. These plans give you the ability to make pretax contributions that reduce your taxable income today. However, you’ll have to pay taxes on those dollars when you make withdrawals. This can greatly reduce the amount of money you’ll have to spend when you’re retired.

Business Report: End-Of-Year Financial Moves

Posted onNovember 7, 2019November 7, 2019
Robert Snell, financial adviser with Edward Jones Financial in Saratoga Springs.

By Robert Snell
We’ve still got a couple of months until 2019 draws to a close, but it’s not too early to make some end-of-the-year financial moves. In fact, it may be a good idea to take some of these steps sooner rather than later.
Here are a few suggestions:
• Boost your 401(k) contributions. Like many people, you might not usually contribute the maximum amount to your 401(k), which, in 2019 is $19,000, or $25,000 if you’re 50 or older. Ask your employer if you can increase your 401(k) contributions in 2019, and if you receive a bonus before the year ends, you may be able to use that toward your 401(k), too.
• Add to your IRA. You have until April 15, 2020, to contribute to your IRA for the 2019 tax year, but the more you can put in now and over the next few months, the less you’ll have to come up with in a hurry at the filing deadline. For 2019, you can put up to $6,000 in your IRA, or $7,000 if you’re 50 or older.
