Businesses in economically distressed communities often have difficulty obtaining capital for expansion, equipment, facilities, and other investments. The New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) encourages private investment in these underserved areas by offering federal income tax credits to qualifying investors.
Choosing the Right Business Funding Solution
Access to capital helps small businesses succeed and grow. Whether you need to cover cash flow gaps, fund expansion plans, or invest in long-term assets, it’s important to understand all your financing options. This will help you make informed decisions and select funding that aligns with your goals.
Using an IRA Withdrawal for a Qualified Home Purchase
Purchasing a home is an expensive proposition that leaves many would-be buyers feeling cash-strapped. If that’s you, you might be thinking about taking some money out of your traditional IRA to help fund the purchase. But should you? After all, a 10% penalty normally applies to IRA withdrawals before age 59 1/2. The good news is that there’s an exception to the penalty for certain home purchases, subject to a lifetime limit of $10,000.
