J E. Sands has written: 'Wealth, income and intangibles'
Goodwill can be negative and arises where the net assets at the date of acquisition, fairly valued, exceed the cost of acquisition. Negative goodwill is recognized as a liability.
If the sales price of my business includes goodwill, is that portion subject to capital gains treatment or is the goodwill considered to be ordinary income?
Yes, state pension is considered unearned income for tax purposes. It is subject to federal income tax, but may not be subject to Social Security and Medicare taxes. State tax laws may vary on how state pension income is treated for tax purposes.
One way I can think of is: Income - Expenses = Profit (These figures can be found in the Profit and Loss statement) Now substitute the profit figure into the following equation: Profit / Goodwill = Return on Goodwill (The goodwill figure can be found in the Balance Sheet) So even though a brand may be perceived as very strong, if the carying value of the goodwill is very high then the return on goodwill will be lower.
No, capital gains do not count as earned income for tax purposes.
No, a home equity loan is not considered as income for tax purposes.
