the remain of gross income not attributed to the performing of services (20% or less) shall be taxed at ordinary tax rate.tax must be covered by withholding or estimated tax payments.tax is computed on gross revenue without the benefit of operating expenses or personal deductions.an optional computation tax is available for self-employed individuals who derive their income substantially from services that are subject to withholding at source.“Substantially” means 80% or more of the services performed.Optional computation for self-employed individuals an alternate basic tax in lieu of any other tax will be paid for each taxable year upon the Alternate Basic Tax (“ABT”) income of every individual as follows:.More than $9,000 but not more than $25,000 Also, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2019, and for individuals with a gross revenue less than 100,001, the tax determined will be 92% of the regular and gradual adjustment, instead of 95%. for taxable year 2021, the tax determined will be 95% of the total regular tax and gradual adjustment.Your 2020 Income Tax Return and your 2021 pay stubs and other income and deduction-related materials are a good starting point for estimating your AGI. when considering whether to accelerate or defer income or deductions, you should be aware of the impact this action may have on your AGI and your ability to maximize deductions that are tied to the AGI.the AGI is a key aspect of tax planning since several tax benefits are tied to or limited by it (e.g., mortgage interests, donations, and medical expenses) therefore, a key aspect of tax planning is to estimate both your AGI for 20.the Adjusted Gross Income (“AGI”) is equal to an individual’s total gross income less a series of specific deductions.
married persons who choose to file separately should include their own income, and certain deductions must be allocated 50% to each spouse and others may be claimed fully by the spouse to whom they relate.if one spouse dies during the year, and the surviving spouse did not remarry in said year, the surviving spouse may file a joint return up to the date of the death, and another as individual taxpayer, from the date of the death up to the end of the year.
Consequently, each spouse will be taxed separately as an individual taxpayer.
if prenuptial agreements were filed expressly stipulating that economic regime of “community property assets” is one of complete separation of property, you and your spouse will not qualify for the “married” status for income tax purposes.individuals may elect to file one return reporting their combined income, or the optional computation (“split”) of tax to avoid higher tax brackets on combined income.As a general reminder, pursuant to the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011, as amended (the “Code”), there are three ways by which individuals can file their corresponding income tax returns: (i) married (ii) individual taxpayer and (iii) married filing separately.
