🚨 IMPORTANT IRS UPDATE: Meals & Entertainment Changes for 2026

👉Effective 01/01/26, employee-provided meals that were previously 50% deductible (including office snacks, break room coffee, and convenience meals), ARE NO LONGER DEDUCTIBLE.

💡 What this means for your business:
If you regularly provide food or drinks for your team, this could increase your taxable income in 2026.

✔️ Now is a good time to:
• Review your current spending on employee meals
• Adjust your 2026 budget if needed
• Talk with your bookkeeper or tax pro about smart planning strategies

📣 Happy Tax Deadline Day!

If you’re hitting “submit” today — congrats! 🎉
And if you’re not quite ready, that’s okay too — here are a few quick, friendly reminders:

✅ Need more time? File an extension!
An extension gives you until October to file your return — but remember, it does not extend the time to pay any taxes owed.

💰 Quarterly estimates are due too
If you’re self-employed or have additional income, your Q1 estimated tax payment is due today as well.

🌐 Where to pay:
• Federal payments: IRS Direct Pay or EFTPS: https://www.irs.gov/payments
• Pennsylvania: myPATH (PA Department of Revenue): https://mypath.pa.gov/_/

⚠️ Important: Even if you file an extension, try to pay what you can now to avoid penalties and interest.

Take a deep breath — you’ve got this! And if you have questions, I’m always here to help 😊

Make payments, view your account or apply for a payment plan with the IRS.

Make sure your income and expenses are fully reconciled before handing things to your tax preparer. ✅

Extensions Aren’t Bad!!👍

Filing an extension is common and often wise.
But remember:
📌 It extends filing time
📌 It does NOT extend payment time

Every year, around this time of year, it seems there is a heightened sense of awareness of the increasing struggles farmers have faced over the last several years. It is not getting easier for them, and we're grateful that fair season does remind us to support our local farmers.

However, with our direct connection to agribusiness and farmers ourselves, we recognize it year-round. Buying produce from your local farmers market is great, but don't forget to ask them ways you can support them during the off-season. The struggle certainly is real.

And if you are a farmer or in the industry, you are likely nodding your head right now. One thing we want to remind those in the business is to make sure you plan for your estate (or that you review your estate strategy if it's been a while). Unfortunately, it can no longer be assumed that the farm will stay in the family no matter how much you wish it could. If this is something you want us to review for you, give us a call to get started.

AND if you know a local farmer, help support them by tagging them below!
