organizational expense

Read a random definition: non solvendo pecuniam ad quam clericus

A quick definition of organizational expense:

An organizational expense is money spent while setting up a company or other organization. It is a type of business expense that is charged against revenue for a specific period. Examples of organizational expenses include legal fees, incorporation fees, and accounting fees. These expenses are not tax-deductible and are usually amortized over a period of time.

A more thorough explanation:

An organizational expense is an expenditure of money, time, labor, or resources incurred while setting up a corporation or other entity. It is a type of business expense that is charged against revenue for a specific period.

Examples of organizational expenses include legal fees, accounting fees, and state filing fees incurred during the process of incorporating a business. These expenses are not deductible in the year they are incurred but must be amortized over a period of time.

For instance, if a business spends $10,000 on legal fees and other expenses to incorporate, it cannot deduct the entire amount in the year it was incurred. Instead, it must spread the expense over a period of 180 months (15 years) and deduct $56 per month as an organizational expense.

The purpose of amortizing organizational expenses is to match the expense with the period in which the business benefits from it. This ensures that the business does not receive an unfair tax advantage by deducting the entire expense in the year it was incurred.

Tell us what's important to you
Yeah, that's fair! For some people it can help a lot. I'm just saying in general I don't think it is necessary unless you are trying to finetune a very specific area (or get to the high 170s because that is another thing in and of itself) OR are just terrible at the test. I tutor the test and I find that most people can improve just as much through self-study.

i think for her it was a lack of discipline more than anything else tbh. she could not get herself to meaningfully study on her own

I've finished all my major requirements, so I'm taking pretty much all electives next semester. Keeping one major specific class bc I'm majoring in it for a reason haha. But I'll be pretty free to study and try and improve my GPA. I will try self study first, see where that gets me. If that doesn't work I'll look into tutoring!
the way there probs won't be another wave until after thanksgiving LMFAO

most of the stuff a tutor will teach you is stuff you can figure out yourself if you’re sufficiently motivated. if you would benefit from some support and structure tutoring can be helpful

I'm in a dual degree program that my undergraduate has where if you meet a gpa and percentile you can have your senior year be your L1 ! Cuts off a year of time and money and the partner was my top pick for law anyways. It all just worked out and since it's ED can't really apply anywhere else because the L1 transfers back to complete my degree. :)
