 For many in their journey to weight loss, it gets frustrating counting calories, stressing out when standing on scales and being assessed by your trainer. CJ the CEO of CJ’s Functional Fitness takes the stress of weight loss by developing a new program called “Fit in Your Clothes Bootcamp” CJ explains, “Many people put too much emphasis on scale numbers and body measurements when that should be the least on their minds when starting on a path to wellness. The goal is for this program is simple; work out have fun and slide into your clothes.” CJ continues, “The idea came when clients would get exited that they could fit in their old clothes or they are able to slide in that new outfit without a struggle.” The idea of this program is to take the guess work out of fitness and weight loss. CJ continues, “There is no secret to a better overall body composition. The more active you are and the less stress you put on yourself while being active you will lose inches. For this program I don’t want over thinking I want action. Everything else will follow!” What makes the program fun is that you are not alone. A person can come with up to two friends. You simply bring the clothes that you’ve been struggling to get into, and a before picture is taken in them. When you are finished with the program your final assessment is simply showing up in you outfit and fitting in them comfortably. It is a fun way to achieve a small goal which is a confidence booster in reaching more challenging weight loss goals. What makes the program successful is its simplicity and affordability. For two people it is only $280 per person for eight sessions for three it is even more affordable at just $200 per person. Each workout is different than the previous one. People participation in the program can expect to do everything from circuit training to boxing to outdoor activities. It is the perfect small group class.

Within 24 Hours of  being killed in a secret raid Osama Bin Laden in  at the bottom of the ocean.  It ‘s a good thing that his DNA was checked and confirmaed before he was tossed in the sea. In this case we have to trust our goernment because we didn’t see his body but other Americans did. This is the end of a man who thought he had the right to punish people with terrorism and death. You can’t get away with anything in this life.  Osama Bin Laden knows that and he can’t come back to tell us how it is on the other side he has gotten his reward whether good or bad.  One thing we do know is that he is not with 72 virgins.

Osama Bin Laden was killed by US special forces today in Pakistan. I am a military person and this is big news to me. It is so sad that thousands of U.S. forces have lost their life behind one man. There will be a lot of celebrating and joy due to the death of Bin Laden, but it will not bring back the thousands of American and military personnel who lost their life.  It is never a good thing for anyone to loose their life especially when they are innocent. People have gathered in front of the white house to celebrate this historical moment in history. As Americans we still have to be vigilent and continue to fight against terrorism.

Osama Bin Laden has been public enemy number one for many years. It was interesting to know that this became an issue during the Clinton administration and now during the Obama administration he has been killed. One man has caused so much pain and hurt to the American people.  President Obama has said before he took office that he  would get Osama Bin Laden and that day has come.  The presdent has kept his word. Now whaq does this mean for the American people now. It means that we have to stay alert and not let our guards down. Remember we still have American Soldiers overseas fighting against terrorism.  At times in this life it it may seem like someone is getting away with murder, but just remember no one gets away with anything. It you do wrong sooner or later you will get caught.  As long as God is in control we as people have nothing to worry about.

There will be lots of talks in the days to come. This event will go down in history as being one of the most successful military mission that has ever taken place. One of the most wanted men in the world has now gave up the ghost and now his soul is in the hands of the Lord. He is no longer in a position to hurt anyone.  We have to move forward as a nation and continue to do the right thing in order to protect others who may become victims of the people who will try to pick up where Bin Laden.

Administration Releases New Information on Affordable Care Act’s

Small Business Health Care Tax Credit

New Guidance Gives Small Employers Full Set of Tools to Claim Credit for 2010;  

Credit Covers Up To 35 Percent of Small Employers’ Health Care Contributions  

Today, many small businesses across America struggle to provide health benefits to their employees. On average, small businesses pay about 18 percent more than large businesses for the same health insurance policy. The Affordable Care Act helps level the playing field by lowering costs for small businesses and increasing their bargaining power. At the same time, small business owners will have the flexibility to make choices they believe are right for their business and their employees.  Starting in 2014, firms with up to 100 workers can pool their buying power and reduce administrative costs by purchasing insurance through a health insurance exchange.  And the Congressional Budget Office predicts that, thanks to the Affordable Care Act, premiums in the small group insurance market will decrease 1 to 4 percent by 2016.  

To make health insurance more affordable for small businesses, the new law also includes tax credits for many small businesses that offer coverage to their workers.  Starting in 2010, small businesses that have fewer than 25 employees, pay average annual wages below $50,000, and pay for most of their employees’ health coverage may qualify for a tax credit of up to 35 percent of health expenses.  The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the tax credit will save small businesses $40 billion by 2019. Both for-profit and nonprofit organizations may qualify for the tax credit.

The tax credit is already having a substantial impact. Insurance companies have used the tax credit to encourage more businesses to provide benefits. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City has promoted the tax credit and enrolled more than 9,000 new members covered by 400 new employers; 38 percent of those new employers did not previously offer insurance.

Today, the Obama Administration is releasing new guidance that will make it easier for small businesses to claim this tax credit.

Facts About the New Guidance

• Gives Small Employers Full Set of Tools to Claim Credit for 2010.  The new guidance includes all the tools small businesses need to claim the credit when they file their 2010 taxes, including the one-page form (Form 8941) and instructions used to claim the credit for tax year 2010, as well as the remaining guidance for 2010.  All of this information is now available at www.irs.gov.
• Clarifies that Religious Institutions Qualify.  Due to their special status under other law, religious institutions that obtain coverage through a denominational organization that self-insures the coverage can qualify for the credit, even though the coverage is not fully insured – a requirement for most employers.  The guidance makes clear that this rule applies solely for purposes of eligibility for the small business tax credit.
• Explains “Qualifying Arrangement” – Wide Range of Employers Qualify.  Following up on previous guidance issued by the Treasury Department that provided transition relief to help businesses claim the credit for 2010, the new guidance clarifies that a broad range of common arrangements used by employers to subsidize insurance coverage for their workers will qualify for the credit for tax years 2010 to 2013.  For example, firms that pay more to help older workers cover the higher premiums and firms that allow employees a choice of coverage, may both qualify for the credit.  For tax year 2010, small employers have the flexibility to use the transition relief set forth in the earlier guidance or to take advantage of the rules in the new guidance.
• Clarifies that Certain Employers Contributing to Multiemployer Health and Welfare Plans Qualify.   The guidance provides that a small employer that makes contributions to a multiemployer plan that are used to pay premiums for employee health insurance coverage may qualify for the credit, so long as 100 percent of the cost of coverage for all employees covered by the multiemployer plan is paid from employer contributions and not by employees.

Facts About the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit

• Available Immediately.  Enacted as part of the Affordable Care Act, the credit was effective January 1, 2010.  As a result, small businesses currently providing health care for their workers receive immediate help with their premium costs.
• Broad Eligibility.  The Council of Economic Advisors estimates that 4 million small businesses are eligible for the credit if they provide health care to their workers. 
• Substantial Benefit.  The credit is worth up to 35 percent of a small business’s premium costs in 2010 and in each of 2011, 2012, and 2013.  In 2014, this rate increases to 50 percent.
• Firms Can Claim Credit for Up to 6 Years. Firms can claim the credit for 2010 through 2013 and for any two years after that.
• Non-Profits Eligible.  Tax-exempt organizations are eligible for a 25 percent tax credit in 2010 and in each of 2011, 2012, and 2013.  In 2014, this rate increases to 35 percent.^[1][1]
• Gradual Phase-Outs.  The credit phases out gradually for firms with average wages between $25,000 and $50,000 and for firms with the equivalent of between 10 and 25 full-time workers. 
• Premium Cost Eligibility.  To avoid an incentive to choose a high-cost plan, an employer’s eligible contribution is limited to the average cost of health insurance for small businesses in that state.
• No Reduction Due to State Credits.  The credit is not reduced if an employer also receives a state health care tax credit or subsidy (except in limited circumstances to prevent abuse of the credit).   In particular, an employer that receives such a state tax credit or subsidy also receives the full federal credit based on its entire contribution so long as the federal credit does not exceed the employer’s net contribution.  According to lists compiled by the National Conference of State Legislatures, about 20 states offer these benefits.[2][2]

• Dental and Vision Coverage Qualify.  Small businesses can receive the credit not only for traditional health insurance coverage but also for add-on dental, vision, and other limited-scope coverage.

• Employers Can Choose the Most Favorable Method of Determining Hours Worked.  Because the tax credit’s matching rate is highest for employers with 10 or fewer full-time equivalent employees (FTEs), the number of hours worked is an important factor in calculating the credit.  Employers can choose among three different methods of determining hours to minimize their bookkeeping duties while receiving the maximum tax credit for which they are eligible.  Employers can look at actual hours of service, or can use simple rules of convenience to estimate hours based on total days or weeks of service.

SBA Backs Repeal of ‘Burdensome’1099 Reporting

Requirements on Small Business Transactions

WASHINGTON – In an open letter to small business owners, SBA Administrator Karen Mills described requirements that small businesses report all transactions greater than $600 as “burdensome,” and called for their repeal.  Mills said the reporting requirements in the Affordable Care Act, which were to have begun in 2012, add up to “too much paperwork, too much filing.”

The text of the letter, which is posted on the SBA Website at http://www.sba.gov/1099letter/, follows:

Dear Small Business Owner,

I’m writing to update you on the progress that we have made regarding concerns stemming from the expanded 1099 reporting requirement in the Affordable Care Act, which could affect small businesses starting with 2012 purchases and 2013 filings.

The SBA and the Administration support the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (introduced by Senator Baucus) which would repeal this provision. 

As President Obama said on Nov. 3: “… the 1099 provision in the health care bill appears to be too burdensome for small businesses.  It just involves too much paperwork, too much filing.  It’s probably counterproductive.”  Our support for the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act also follows the Administration’s support in September for Senate Amendment 4595 (offered by Senator Bill Nelson), which would have relaxed the reporting requirement.

All businesses that pay another individual or business $600 or more for goods or services starting in 2012 will be required to issue 1099s.  The unintended consequence of a potential paperwork burden resulting from this provision quickly came to light, and we immediately began working across the Administration to reduce the burden of these potential future reporting requirements, as I noted in a letter to small businesses in May.   We gathered feedback and comments from the small business community through roundtables, forums, and other feedback mechanisms involving outreach from the SBA, the Treasury Department, the I.R.S. and others.

Importantly, the repeal of this provision through the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act will not adversely affect the Affordable Care Act, which provides important health care benefits to millions of Americans.  Small businesses are already taking advantage of the new tax credits for providing health insurance to employees this year, and future benefits such as the insurance exchanges in 2013 will provide small businesses with more negotiating power and reduced administrative costs.

Thank you for the input and feedback that many of you have provided on the impact that the expanded 1099 reporting requirement could have on your business.  Overall, with your help, we will continue to ensure that America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners operate in an environment not burdened by excessive regulation, allowing you to continue doing what you do best: grow businesses, create jobs and lead America’s economic recovery.

Sincerely,

Karen Mills

SBA Administrator
