When he isn’t at work he enjoys taking part in activities that allow him to give back to the community. One of the things he is most committed to is mentoring high school students. The relationships that are formed between mentors and their mentees can lead to short and long term benefits to both, as well as society at large.

Mentoring can be a huge help to young people who are facing challenging life transitions. This is especially true of the mentor-mentee relationships that last for more than a year and feature a lot of contact. One of the most gratifying benefits to mentors is the knowledge that what they do is making a difference. Studies show that young people with mentors have increased high school graduation rates, a better attitude about their educations, have healthier interpersonal relationships, and make better lifestyle choices. Mentors, too, report boosts in their own self-esteem, having better senses of accomplishment, and better insights into childhood, adolescence and young adulthood through the young people they are mentoring.

French Larry Taylor - The Section 199 Deduction

French Larry Taylor is a tax consultant who works in the Dallas office of the KPMG tax firm. He is the firm’s West Region leader for Tax Accounting Methods Practice. He also manages large tax outsourcing compliance projects, and specializes in the Section 199 deduction of the Federal tax law.

The Section 199 deduction, also known as the domestic manufacturing deduction or the U.S. production activities deduction, is a tax break for American businesses whose manufacturing is done within the United States. It is a more than ten-year-old deduction that was established by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. In its first three years, Section 199 provided a three percent deduction on qualified production activity, and from 2007 to 2007 provided a six percent deduction. Beginning in 2010, the deduction was fully phased in at nine percent. Consequently, more businesses are finding it worthwhile to calculate and substantiate the deduction.

The activities that are eligible for the Section 199 deduction include the manufacture, production, growth or extraction of tangible personal property by the taxpayer; the production of electricity, natural gas or water; architecture and engineering services; and the construction of real property. The Domestic Production Gross Receipts that result from the property produced must be owned by the producer who is taking the Section 199 deduction.

French Larry Taylor holds a Masters degree in Taxation from the University of North Texas and is a former adjunct professor at UNT. He also earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business and Public Relations from Austin College.
