TAX PLANNING STRATEGIES FOR 2016 FROM KIM COYLE CPA
Dear Client; As the end of the year approaches, it’s a good time to think of planning strategies that will help lowering your taxes for 2016. My goal is for you to leverage your tax deductions and credit to the fullest extent. I want to briefly discuss five different strategies that can be powerful tools in lowering your tax bill. And the really great part is that each of these strategies is easy to understand and implement. Here are the strategies: 1. Prepay Expenses The IRS allows cash-basis taxpayers to prepay and deduct qualifying expenses up to 12 months in advance (through December 2017) without challenge, adjustment, or change by the IRS. For a cash-basis taxpayer, qualifying expenses include lease payment on business vehicles, rent payments on offices and machinery, and business and malpractice insurance premiums. This is a great way to pump up your 2016 deductions with expenses you will eventually pay anyway. 2. Stop Billing Customers and Patients An easy strategy for reducing your taxable income for this year is to stop billing your customers until December 31, 2016. Customers, patients, and insurance companies generally don’t pay until billed. Not billing customers and patients is a time-tested tax planning strategy that business owner have used successfully for years. 3. Buy Office Equipment With Section 179, you can write off up to $500,000 of office equipment in 2016. Qualifying Section 179 purchases include new and used personal property such as equipment, computers, desks, chairs, and certain qualifying vehicles. To qualify for Section 179, you need to both buy the items and put them in business service on or before midnight December 31, 2016. 4. Use Your Credit Cards If you are a sole proprietor, the day you charge a purchase to your business or personal credit card is the day the expense is deductible, Therefore, as a proprietor, consider using your credit cards to buy office supplies and other business necessities. If you operate your business as a corporation, and if the corporation has a credit card in the corporate name, the same rule applies: the date of charge is the date of deduction for the corporation. But if you operate your business as a corporation and you are the personal owner of the credit card, the corporation must reimburse you if you want the corporation to realize the tax deduction, and that happens on the date of reimbursement. Thus, submit your expense report and have your corporation make its reimbursements to you before midnight on December 31. 5. Don’t Assume You Are Taking Too Many Deductions Make sure your record all of your rightful deductions for 2016, because if your business deductions exceed your business income, you have a tax loss for the year. After a few modifications to the loss, tax law calls this a “net operating loss,” or an NOL. The good news is that tax law allows you to carry back the NOL for two years and get instant refunds from taxes previously paid. If, after going back for two years, you still have unused losses, you can carry them forward for up to 20 years. In other words, you have a 22-year window during which you can realize the benefits of your deductions. So always document your expenses in order to get your rightful deductions. Please do not hesitate contact me if you want to discuss in greater depth any of the strategies outlined above.

The best wearable tech devices to help you look and feel better
Wearable health technology first started in hospitals as a way to help people with injuries heal faster. Now, the trend has gone mainstream and pro-active; one in five online adults uses a wearable device, and the majority of those devices are health-related, according to Forrester Research. “Americans are using a variety of wearable devices to help them reach their wellness goals,” says Mike Nohilly, an expert in wearable technology for Slendertone. Once, people would have needed a doctor’s visit to find out key wellness numbers like BMI or blood pressure, or needed gym equipment to monitor their heart rates while exercising. Wearable devices allow them to do all those things, and even tone specific muscle groups, at their own convenience.” Here are five wearable health devices and how you can use them to help build fitness and better health: * Fitness trackers - If it seems like everyone is wearing some kind of fitness tracker, you’re not imagining it. The top wearable of 2016 was a fitness tracker that shipped more than 21 million units last year and represented nearly 38 percent of the wearables market, according to International Data Corporation. Fitness trackers allow wearers to monitor key health indicators such as heart rate or calories burned. You can also use them to set and track exercise goals, such as walking a certain number of steps per day, or monitor your heart rate while exercising to ensure you reach a target zone. * Pain relief braces - Worn like traditional braces, smart braces use neurostimulation sensors, built into the fabric, to ease pain with low-level electrical impulses. Wearers rely on the bands to help relieve joint pain from chronic conditions like arthritis. Some come with a smartphone app that allows you to track usage and sleep patterns. * Ab toner - Instead of spending hours in the gym doing crunches, you can enhance your workout by wearing a piece of technology that
works to strengthen, firm and tone your abs. The Slendertone Connect Abs wearable belt uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to stimulate the major abdominal muscles, and can be worn and used at any time even under your clothes. Users report visible results in six to eight weeks when used at least five days per week for 30 minutes. You can control this FDA-cleared device through an app on Android or Apple smartphones, and choose one of five goal-driven programs, from essential toning to post-natal and even advanced toning. The app also tracks and shares data on your progress. Visit www. slendertone.com. * Sleep trackers - Getting the right amount of sleep is critical for overall health, so sleep trackers have gained popularity as aids to help people get better rest. Many types are available and some are wearable. Sleep trackers monitor such sleep metrics as REM phases, how long per night you spend in light sleep versus deep sleep, wake times, how quickly you fall asleep, what time you sleep each night and more. * UV detector - An emerging form of wearable technology, UV detectors monitor skin exposure to harmful ultra-violet radiation - the portion of sunlight that causes sunburn, tanning and skin cancer. Multiple versions are under development, and one commercially available detector is a small patch that you wear on your skin and then scan using your smartphone that’s been equipped with a special app. The app allows you to read the information recorded in the patch so you know your UV exposure, and offers tips for sun safety, including what level SPF sunscreen you should wear. “Many health care and tech industry watchers say the wearable health care device trend is really just getting started,” Nohilly says. “Technology has great potential to help make it easier than ever to achieve our health and fitness goals, whether we want to get a better night’s rest, improving cardio-vascular health or get toned abs.” - BPT)

DECEMBER CHRISTMAS EVENT CAPS OFF ELK’S LODGE YEAR OF GIVING By Andy Costello December is always extra busy as Mission Viejo / Saddleback Valley Elks Lodge #2444 hosts a Christmas party for the developmentally challenged men, women and children of the Saddleback Valley. The Elks Lodge was once again decorated in it’s finest and full of the holiday spirit as the members played host to 194 special guests. The guests ranged in age from sixteen to sixty-six. They entered the Lodge in groups - some walked, some shuffled, some used walkers and many came in wheel chairs with the help of their caregivers. Faces lit with excitement as they were all warmly embraced at the Lodge entrance by the Elks cheerful greeters who assisted them into the party. After a lunch of chicken fingers, chips, lemonade and cookies was served, D.J. entertainer Jim Mouth kept the music flowing much to the delight of the merrymakers who sang and danced all afternoon along with old friends and with the Elk volunteers. Elk members, part of the Square Dance Club, put on a square dance exhibition. The Laguna Woods “Clown Alley” clowns were again on hand in full regalia passing out balloon hats and bringing smiles to the faces of the party-goers. Shortly after noon, a big red fire truck arrived with sirens blaring. Riding atop the truck, and waving to all as the truck pulled up to the Elks Lodge, was none other than Santa Claus Ed Mackay & Mrs. Claus Elk Pam Mackay. The jolly couple was met at the steps of the Lodge by a large enthusiastic group of the party-goers. They then worked their way through the crowded dance floor with many hugs and warm greetings for all before retreating to a special room to make ready for the individual visits. Each guest enjoyed his or her own personal time with Santa and received a bag full of gifts. Elk photographers Dan Dean and Dave Anderson again worked their magic and provided framed color photos taken with Santa and Mrs.
Claus for each guest. Elk Les Stipek with wife Maggie chaired the event. Stipek offered a special thanks to the Elks Bingo Charity committee for their ongoing sponsorship and said, “It takes a small army of Elks volunteers to make this happen and I can’t thank them enough.” At day’s end, a very tired but still glowing Santa said, “It’s organized mayhem, but as usual we somehow manage to pull it off. We just love seeing so many smiles and how much happiness the party brings to these wonderful people.” Past Lodge President Charlie Hart, a veteran worker at the event said, “I wouldn’t miss being here every year. Some of these same special guests have been attending this party for 25 years and look forward to returning each year. Our Elk’s members do whatever it takes to give them a fun day at the Lodge.” This year’s Elk helpers included: Ed & Pam Mackey, Pat & Barbara Martino, Gloria LeCouvre, Debby King, Charlie Hart, Jesse & JoAnn Hunt, Sandie McClure, Diana Wilson, Jinnae Wessling, Margie Brown, Harvey, Dennis & Keyeigh Boelts, Michael Mandell, Pauline Correa, Dinah Grosch, Dan & Salli Dean, David Anderson, Julie Thomas, Gail Patti, Debbie Lamb, Mike & Judy Klinger, Doug & Janelle Olson, Mary Ann and Andy Costello, Barbara King, Janie Farris, Kay & Ed Guthrie, Brian, Erin, Zach & Nate Johansen, Larry Colgan, Jesse & John Hunt, Jerry Buford, Caren Bowman, Dave Maurer, Alejandra Payne, Fran Baum, Lane Karen, Logan Thompson, Margo Kutner, Jim Humphrey, Gary Stewart, Leah Faase, Sandy Bergan, Vera Pavelec, Craig & Nancy Drennon, Jean Chapman, and Cynthia Ross. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) has a long standing support structure for the developmentally challenged and has a 148 year history of giving. “Elks Care, Elks Share.”

In the late 1950s, Pop Art burst onto the art scene with nothing less than a bang. On January 7, 2017, the Orange County Museum of Art opened Pop Art Design with more than 150 artworks that are bold, bright, and familiar. Pop Art influenced furniture and architecture, as well as everyday objects. Sofas, lamps, and paper bags became topics of artistic reflection and developed into a genre that moved beyond visual art and included both graphic design and industrial design. Pop Art Design is the first comprehensive exhibition examining the inspirations and cross-references between art and design that continue to shape our society today. The exhibition is on view January 7 through April 2, 2017. Pop Art is one of the most influential art movements since 1945 with a fundamental element of dialogue between design and art. Pop Art Design features artworks from international museums by artists Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, Roy Lichtenstein, Ed Ruscha, Richard Hamilton, and more; juxtaposed design objects by designers such as Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, Achille Castiglioni, and Ettore Sottsass; as well as extensive ephemera. “We are excited to host this international exhibition that examines the intersection between Pop art and design,” stated OCMA Director
and CEO Todd D. Smith. “OCMA is the only west coast venue for this exhibition, and we are pleased to complement the work in the exhibition with important works from our own collection.” Some of the highlights of the exhibition include George Nelson’s Marshmallow Sofa (1955); Andy Warhol’s iconic Campbell’s Soup Cans II (1969); Studio 65’s Leonardo sofa which has rarely been exhibited since it was first produced in 1969; Allen Jones’s provocative Chair (1969); Verner Panton’s Cone Armchair K3 (1959); Superstudio’s Passiflora floor or wall lamp (1966), and notable album covers from the 1960s. OCMA will enhance the exhibition with several original artworks from its own collection including paintings by Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, and Ed Ruscha, as well as iconic sculptures such as Wedding Souvenir (1966) by Claes Oldenberg and Eraser (1967) by Vija Celmins. “Vibrant and innovative, while also a playful commentary on consumer culture, this exhibition demonstrates the extraordinary influence of the Pop sensibility on all aspects of day to day life,” stated OCMA Senior Curator Cassandra Coblentz. Pop Art’s influence on furniture, graphic design, and architecture has until this point received limited attention. This exhibition unites
artworks and design objects, along with photographs, documents, films, and texts. With this variety of material, Pop Art Design demonstrates how design in the early 1950s anticipated later elements of Pop Art when both artists and designers explored the motifs of the emerging consumer society. Objects of daily use were transformed into artistic pictorial motifs and sculptures while designers, in turn, availed themselves of artistic strategies like quotation, collage, and irony to develop a new aesthetic for everyday objects. Pop Art shaped a new sense of cultural identity, with a focus on celebrity, mass consumer production, and the expanding industries of advertising, television, radio and print media. Pop Art Design offers new
insights into the pop phenomenon: the migration of motifs between art and design; the relationship between everyday object and image; and how everyday life first came under the still-dominant influence of pop culture. OCMA INFORMATION Wednesday – Sunday, 11 am – 5 pm; with extended hours Friday, 11 am – 8 pm. Admission: Adults $10, seniors and students $7.50, children 12 and under are free. Fridays are free to the public and parking is always free. Orange County Museum of Art is located at 850 San Clemente Drive in Newport Beach, CA. For additional information, call 949.759.1122 or visit www.ocma.net.

The event was Co-Chaired by Linda Burns, Veronica Meshkati and Shan Vincent. Heading up the Men’s Committee was Mark Adams, Kristen James and Bud Pharris. Christine Bren, President of the OC Chapter, welcomed everyone into the ballroom and introduced Patti Edwards, Childhelp National Board Member, who spoke on child abuse and the devastation it has on our nation. Jamie Hong then introduced her Mother, Eileen Saul, and presented her with the Benevolent Heart Award for her endless dedication and commitment to Childhelp. Eileen gave a very heartfelt speech and shared how proud she is that Childhelp’s Annual Golf Tournament is now the Rich Saul Memorial Golf Classic in honor of her late husband, Rich. Party revelers then dined on Pan Seared Filet Mignon and Chilean Sea Bass with a cognac peppercorn sauce and finished with Red Velvet Cake with a White Chocolate Mousse. The Live Auction was hosted by the very enthusiastic auctioneer, Mark Thomas; some of the items included a Newport Harbor Cruise with Dinner for 6 at Waterline Restaurant, an Acapulco Vacation with a 6 night stay at the Princess Mundo Imperial Riviera Diamante with airfare, dinner and golf, a Liquor Cabinet filled with a fabulous collection of over 37 bottles of fine spirits, a New York stay for 5 days with airfare and dinner, a 5 day stay at Rock Creek Cattle Company in Montana, a Seattle stay at the Fairmont Olympic that included Mariners VIP tickets, a Jerusalem Vacation and Tour Package, a Huntington Harbor Cruise and Dinner for 10 aboard a Beautiful Yacht, Diamond Earrings from Winston’s Crown Jeweler and last but not least, a 4 day Big Bear Getaway at the Luxurious Lakefront Home of Becky and Zlatko Zadro. The Grand Prize Raffle of a $2,500 Shopping Spree at South Coast Plaza went to Myrna Levy. After the auction, Sean Tolliver, a graduate of the Childhelp Boys’ Group Home, spoke emotionally about his abuse as a child and how he was so positively influenced by the love, care and therapy provided by Childhelp. He thanked everyone in the ballroom that evening for being there and helping raise much needed funds. The night concluded with gambling and lots of dancing.

Celebrity Homes : Zsa Zsa Gabor ’s Bel Air Mansion Zsa Zsa Gabor sold her Bel Air mansion in 2014 but the buyer delayed the closing so that she could continue to live in the home until her death. Zsa Zsa’s home is featured this week at TopTenRealEstateDeals. com. “I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man, I keep his house” was one of Zsa Zsa Gabor’s famous quotes. She was married nine times. Zsa Zsa was born in Budapest in 1917 during World War I, became an actress in Vienna at age 15 and was crowned Miss Hungary in 1936. She eventually moved to the United States along with her two sisters (sister Eva starred in the longtime TV hit “Green Acres” and sister Magna married Zsa Zsa’s third husband George Sanders). Her beauty was legendary, her personality bubbly and her accent forever famous. Her nine husbands included Paris Hilton’s great uncle Conrad Hilton and Jack Ryan, the inventor of the Barbie Doll. Zsa Zsa was one of the last of the Hollywood Golden Age movie stars when she died on December 18th. Zsa Zsa purchased her final home in 1973 in Bel Air, California for $250,000. It spanned 9,000 square feet with six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and large pool terrace with stunning views. There are several versions of the home’s history, including that it was built by John Zurlo, who was a Los Angeles milkman who would get up at 3 in the morning and drive out of Bel Air in his milk truck. It seems that Mr. Zurlo eventually rented the home to Howard Hughes for most of the 1960s. According to Zsa Zsa, the house was also owned by Elvis Presley. House guests included John Kennedy, Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Ronald Reagan, Henry Kissinger
Page 14
and both George H. and George W. Bush. The home has its own movie history having been the film site in a number of movies including “Argo” and “Behind the Candelabra.” But despite the all-star credibility, Zsa Zsa couldn’t seem to sell it. She put the home on the market in June, 2011, and it became an ongoing saga. Zsa Zsa originally wanted $28 million for her home but in a bad real estate market, her agent convinced her to start out at $12.9 million for the 8,878-square-foot estate. But she had no takers so she upped the price to $14.9 million. With mounting money problems due to her poor health and a $10 million Bernie Madoff theft, the home was on the brink of foreclosure, only to be saved through a social media plea from ninth husband Prince Frederic von Anhalt. The prince temporarily rescued the home for Zsa Zsa but he made selling the home much more difficult in the process by making demands that
The Ladera Ranch News
after selling the home, he and Zsa Zsa could continue to live in the home for three years plus a $325,000 a year stipend. Surprisingly the property sold under those conditions, but the sale fell through. Afterwards, broker Roger Perry helped arrange a deal between Gabor and a buyer that delayed the closing so that she could continue to live in the home until her death. Now after her death, the developers
are mulling two options. They will either resell the property with the construction permits in place, or tear it down and redevelop the property. In either case, Prince Frederic von Anhalt will have to find a new place to live. Visit TopTenRealEstateDeals. com for more historic, celebrity and spectacular homes and real estate news.

Segerstrom Center Welcomes Rita Wilson and Friends with All New Production of Liner Notes: Songwriters, Stories and Music Segerstrom Center for the Arts welcomes Rita Wilson, the talented actress, film producer and Broadway star, who brings her vocal and songwriting talents to Samueli Theater in her Center debut with Liner Notes: Songwriters, Stories and Music, on Friday, February 10, 2017. Special guests and notable songwriters Billy Steinberg, Holly Knight and Desmond Child join Wilson in this intimate evening performing songs and sharing stories behind their most memorable music. Tickets start at $59 and will go on sale Sunday, December 18 at 10 a.m. and be available online at www.SCFTA.org, at the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling (714) 556-2787. Rita Wilson is well-known as an actress (It’s Complicated, Sleepless in Seattle, a recurring role in CBS’s The Good Wife, HBO’s award-winning series, Girls, and most recently on Broadway in Larry David’s smash hit, Fish in the Dark), and as a film producer (Mamma Mia!, My Big Fat Greek Wedding and its sequel, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, for which she co-wrote and performed Even More Mine) but her first love is music. In May 2012, Wilson realized a lifelong dream with the debut of her solo album AM/FM. The album, released by Decca/Verve Records, is an intimate, elegant and beautifully sung collection of covers of her favorite songs from the ‘60s and ‘70s. Since the release of AM/FM, Wilson has been focusing on a new component of her musical career as a songwriter. In March 2016, she released her self-titled second album, showcasing her skill for creating insightful, eloquent singer-songwriter pop music that is etched with stunning honesty. For two years prior to the release, Wilson worked with a host of the finest award-winning and bestselling songwriters and producers in both Los Angeles and Nashville. This new material was prominently featured in her sold-out two-week residency at the famed Café Carlyle in New York City. “Ms. Wilson has a catch in her voice that conveys yearning and potential heartbreak behind a façade of cheer. As a stage performer, she is gregarious and forthright; a natural entertainer,” said The New York Times. In June 2016, Wilson toured with Rock and Roll Hall-of-Famers Chicago, one of the bestselling bands of all time, with more than 100 million albums sold. Billy Steinberg co-wrote (with Tom Kelly) five #1 singles on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, including “Like A Virgin” (Madonna), “True Colors” (Cyndi Lauper), “So Emotional” (Whitney Houston), “Eternal Flame” (The Bangles) and “Alone” (Heart). He cowrote other well-known Top 10 U.S. pop hits, including “I’ll Stand by You” (Pretenders, Carrie Underwood), “I Touch Myself” (the Divinyls), “How Page 16
Do I Make You” (Linda Ronstadt), “I Drove All Night” (Roy Orbison, Cyndi Lauper, Celine Dion), “In Your Room” (The Bangles), “Too Little Too Late” (JoJo) and “Give Your Heart A Break” (Demi Lovato). Steinberg and Kelly were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2011. Holly Knight has had a wild 38year ride in the music business that ignited when she joined her first band, Spider, in 1980. She penned many of their songs, including the single, “Better Be Good To Me,” which music icon Tina Turner recorded on her multi-platinum record, Private Dancer. Holly’s meteoric rise to success continued, writing the charttopping, “Love Is A Battlefield” and “Invincible” for Pat Benatar, “The Warrior” (Patty Smyth), “Ragdoll” (Aerosmith), “Change” (John Waite), “Never” (Heart), “Love Touch” (Rod Stewart), “Obsession” (Animotion), “Hide Your Heart” (KISS), and countless others. Knight has written a total of nine songs for Turner alone, including “The Best,” “Better Be Good To Me” and “Wildest Dreams.” Her songwriting has earned her numerous awards, including three Grammys and 13 ASCAP awards. In June of 2013, Knight was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame along with rock legends Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, Foreigner, and JD Souther. Knight’s songs have appeared in countless movies such as: Thelma and Louise, Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, Stewart Little, Hot Tub Time Machine, Dallas Buyer’s Club, The Other Woman, Anchorman 2, 13 Going on 30 and TV shows, American Idol, The Voice, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Late Show with James Corden, The Following, Nip/Tuck, Necessary Roughness, Mr. Robot, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock, Family Guy, The Simpsons, South Park and many more. She is currently developing a musical with her hit songs, and working on her memoirs. Her passion and love of music has never wavered. Grammy-winning songwriter/ producer Desmond Child is one of music’s most accomplished hit-makers having written and/or produced more than 70 Top 40 singles with 300 million albums sold worldwide with a music career spanning over four decades. In 2008, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and serves on its Board of Directors. He is also the Chairman/ CEO of the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame founded in 2012. Child’s collaborations include: “Livin’ On A Prayer” and “You Give Love A Bad Name” (Bon Jovi), “Waking Up In Vegas” (Katy Perry), “Dude Looks Like A Lady” and “Angel” (Aerosmith), “I Was Made For Lovin’ You” and “Heaven’s On Fire” (KISS), “Livin’ La Vida Loca” (Ricky Martin), “How

Can We Be Lovers” (Michael Bolton), “Poison” (Alice Cooper), “Before Your Love” (Kelly Clarkson),“Invisible” (Clay Aiken), “Inside Your Heaven” (Carrie Underwood), “Where Your Road Leads” (Garth Brooks & Tricia Yearwood), “Just Like Jesse James” and “We All Sleep Alone” (Cher), “I Hate Myself For Lovin’ You” (Joan Jett) which is also the theme song for NBC’s Sunday Night Football.
