To attract and retain skilled workers, your small business needs to offer more than competitive pay. Your benefits package matters, too. Tax-free fringe benefits may be especially valuable to employees. Examples include many types of insurance (health, disability, long-term care and life), assistance plans (dependent care, adoption and educational) and transportation benefits, subject to certain limits. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act also changed some fringe-benefit tax rules for 2026 and beyond. Open enrollment is right around the corner for many businesses. As you review your 2027 benefits package, contact us at (505) 886-1040 for help evaluating your offerings and fine-tuning them as needed.

Teachers and other educators often spend their own money on books, supplies, equipment and other classroom needs. For 2026, eligible educators may have two ways to deduct qualifying unreimbursed expenses: A deduction of up to $350 is available whether or not they itemize, and a new deduction with no dollar cap is available to itemizers. Educators eligible for both deductions can first claim the above-the-line deduction and reap the benefits of reducing their adjusted gross income and, if they have eligible expenses in excess of $350, claim the itemized deduction for those excess expenses. (Educators can’t claim both deductions for the same expenses.) Contact us at (505) 886-1040 to see if you may be eligible.

Business owners: Are you or your employees planning to go “back to school” soon? Two types of work-related education costs may qualify for business tax breaks: 1) those required to retain an existing job, license or professional status, and 2) those directly tied to maintaining or improving skills for a current trade or business. Deductible expenses can include tuition, books, supplies and possibly travel if the primary purpose of the trip is business-related education. However, you can’t deduct costs for education that help meet the minimum qualifications for a position or to qualify for a new trade or business. Contact us at (505) 886-1040 to learn the ABCs of work-related education expense deductions.

Bartering can be a viable way to conduct business, especially if you’re strapped for cash. But you can’t escape tax obligations.

The fair market value of goods or services you receive generally must be reported as taxable income. Business expenses related to the exchange may also be deductible. Special rules apply if you use a barter exchange, including when trade credits are taxable and whether Form 1099-B reporting applies.

Good records are essential, including documentation of the fair market value, invoices, barter agreements and statements from barter exchanges. Whether you already barter or are considering it, call us at (505) 886-1040 to discuss the tax and reporting implications.

Effective job costing can help business owners make smarter pricing and budgeting decisions. By tracking the direct labor, materials and overhead tied to specific jobs or projects, you gain a clearer picture of profitability and operational efficiency. Without accurate data, it’s easy to underprice work, overlook cost overruns or misjudge your most profitable services. We can help you set up practical costing methods that improve financial insight and support better decision-making. Call us at (505) 886-1040 for more information.

Could your traditional 401(k) or IRA balance be too large? Maybe! Contributing as much as you can to tax-deferred retirement accounts can be a good idea. Contributions are pretax or deductible, and tax-deferred compounding can turbocharge growth. But sometimes maximizing tax deferral is counterproductive. This may be true if tax rates increase by the time you pay tax on distributions. Also, retirement plan distributions are taxed at your ordinary-income rate, not your long-term capital gains rate. So you may pay a higher tax rate on dividends and growth than you would if you held the investments in a taxable account. Fortunately, there are strategies that can help. Call us at (505) 886-1040 to learn more.

If you’re age 50 or older, a great way to enhance your retirement nest egg is to make “catch-up” contributions to your 401(k), 403(b), 457 plan, SIMPLE or IRA. And workers age 60 to 63 can potentially boost their 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan up to 150% of the regular catch-up limit. For 2026, this means an extra contribution of $11,250 ($5,250 for SIMPLEs). Want to make the most of tax-advantaged savings opportunities? Contact us at (505) 886-1040.

Sole proprietors: Are you on top of your federal tax obligations? Even if your business is small, tax compliance and planning are a big deal.

In addition to reporting business income and expenses, you may owe self-employment tax and need to make quarterly estimated payments. You might also need an employer identification number (for example, if you hire employees). State and local income, sales, payroll, and other tax requirements may apply, too. Careful planning can help you maximize deductions and choose the right retirement plan for your situation.

Contact us at (505) 886-1040 to learn more about the tax aspects of being a sole proprietor, including the reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
