👕👟 La ropa y el calzado que califican y cuestan menos de $110 por artículo o par están exentos del 4% del impuesto estatal sobre las ventas del Estado de Nueva York.

📍 En el Condado de Westchester: Se aplica la exención estatal del 4% de NYS; sin embargo, generalmente continúan aplicándose los impuestos locales y del MCTD, ya que Westchester no ofrece la exención local correspondiente.

💡 Recuerde: El límite de $110 se aplica a cada artículo o par por separado, no al total de su compra. Puede comprar varios artículos que califiquen por menos de $110 cada uno y recibir la exención estatal en cada uno.

🛍️ Ejemplo: Si compra 3 prendas a $75 cada una ($225 en total), cada artículo está por debajo de $110, por lo que los tres califican para la exención del 4% estatal de NYS. En Westchester, todavía aplicarán los impuestos locales correspondientes.

✏️📓 Útiles escolares: Cuadernos, mochilas, bolígrafos, equipos electrónicos y la mayoría de los demás útiles escolares no califican para esta exención de ropa y calzado y generalmente continúan sujetos al impuesto sobre las ventas.

¡Un poco de conocimiento sobre los impuestos puede ayudarle a aprovechar mejor su presupuesto para el regreso a clases!

👕👟 Qualifying clothing and footwear priced under $110 per item or pair are exempt from the 4% New York State sales tax.

📍 In Westchester County: The NYS 4% exemption applies, but local and MCTD sales taxes generally still apply, because Westchester does not provide the corresponding local exemption.

💡 Remember: The $110 limit applies to each item or pair separately, not to your total purchase. You can purchase several qualifying items under $110 and still receive the NYS exemption on each one.

✏️📓 School supplies: Notebooks, backpacks, pens, electronics, and most other school supplies generally do not qualify for this clothing and footwear exemption and remain taxable.

A little tax knowledge can help your back-to-school budget go further!

IRS & Treasury Propose New Tax-Exempt Rules for Private Schools

The IRS and U.S. Treasury have proposed new regulations affecting private schools operating under Section 501(c)(3).

Under the proposal, tax-exempt private schools could not maintain policies or practices that discriminate based on race, color, or national or ethnic origin, including in admissions, financial assistance, educational programs and athletics.

The proposal could affect approximately 18,000 private educational institutions, from K–12 schools to colleges and universities. Race-neutral programs based on factors such as income, geography, first-generation status, hardship or academic achievement would remain permissible.

If finalized, the rules would apply to taxable years beginning on or after May 31, 2027.

Gestionar sus impuestos ahora es más fácil, pero en la planificación estratégica es donde radica el verdadero valor. 📊

El IRS ha ampliado su conjunto de herramientas digitales en IRS.gov, ofreciendo a particulares y dueños de negocios un acceso de autoservicio más rápido para:

🔹 Cuenta en línea del IRS: Consultar saldos, ver transcripciones de impuestos/W-2, rastrear reembolsos y gestionar pagos bancarios directos.

🔹 Cuenta de impuestos de negocios: Acceder a registros de la empresa, revisar el historial de pagos, gestionar autorizaciones y ver avisos del IRS en un solo lugar.

🔹 Identidad y seguridad: Solicitar un PIN de protección de identidad y tramitar autorizaciones de forma segura.

💡 Nuestra perspectiva:

Aunque los portales digitales facilitan el cumplimiento y las gestiones rutinarias, tomar el control de su futuro financiero exige una estrategia proactiva y a largo plazo, no solo cumplir con las fechas límite.

Ya sea que necesite optimizar la estructura de su entidad, agilizar el cierre mensual o preparar un plan fiscal integral, The Scarsdale Group Inc. está a su lado para brindar claridad financiera y proteger su rentabilidad.

Managing your taxes just got easier — but strategic planning is where the real value happens. 📊

The IRS has expanded its suite of digital tools on IRS.gov, giving individuals and business owners faster self-service access to:

🔹 IRS Online Account: Check balances, view tax transcripts/W-2s, track refunds, and manage direct bank payments.

🔹 Business Tax Account: Access company records, review payment histories, manage authorizations, and view IRS notices in one place.

🔹 Identity & Security: Request Identity Protection PINs and handle authorizations securely.

💡 Our Take:

While digital portals make compliance and routine filings more accessible, taking command of your financial future requires proactive, multi-year strategy — not just deadline management.

Whether you need to optimize your entity structure, streamline your monthly close, or prepare a comprehensive tax plan, The Scarsdale Group Inc. is here to engineer financial clarity and defend your bottom line.
