No Tax on Tips" isn't exactly what it sounds like.

The IRS finalized the rulesβ€”and many tipped workers are misunderstanding this new deduction.

βœ… Up to $25,000 deduction
βœ… Standard deduction users can qualify
❌ Not tax-free income
❌ Service charges don't count
❌ F**A taxes still apply

If you earn tips, now is the perfect time to understand the rules so you're prepared when it's time to file.

Don't let the headline fool you...

Everyone's saying "No Tax on Overtime."

That's only part of the story. πŸ‘‡

Here's what most people don't know:

βœ… It's a federal deductionβ€”not completely tax-free overtime.

βœ… In most cases, only the overtime premium (the extra half in time-and-a-half) qualifies.

βœ… Social Security and Medicare taxes still apply.

βœ… Income limits apply.

⏳ The deduction is temporary and is scheduled to expire after 2028 unless Congress extends it.

Before you count on a bigger refund, make sure you understand what actually qualifies.

πŸ’¬ Comment "OT" if you want me to explain whether your overtime may qualify.

Buying an EV in 2026? Don't miss this tax break.

The EV tax credit may no longer be available for new purchases, but there's another tax benefit you should know about. πŸ‘€

You may be able to deduct up to $10,000 in qualified vehicle loan interest each year through 2028. πŸ’°

To qualify:

βœ… New vehicle

Quick summer reminder for business owners and self-employed folks: are you actually tracking your business mileage?

For 2026, the IRS standard mileage rate is:
πŸ“Œ 72.5 cents/mile β€” business use
πŸ“Œ 20.5 cents/mile β€” medical
πŸ“Œ 14 cents/mile β€” charitable

If you're self-employed, that business rate adds up fast β€” every 1,000 miles driven for work is a $725 deduction.

⚠️ Heads up: if you're a W-2 employee, unreimbursed mileage is no longer deductible under current law β€” this mainly benefits business
owners, self-employed individuals, and independent contractors.

πŸ“Œ Keep a simple log: date, destination, business purpose, and miles driven. A mileage app makes this painless.

Not sure if you're capturing all your eligible miles? DM me. πŸ‘‡

Did you know you can rent out your home for up to 14 days a year completely tax-free?

It's called the "Augusta Rule" (IRC Β§280A(g)) β€” named after homeowners renting out properties during the Masters Tournament. Here's the deal:

βœ… Rent your personal home for 14 days or less per year
βœ… That income is NOT taxable β€” and you don't even report it
βœ… Business owners with an S-corp, C-corp, or partnership can rent their own home to their company for legit meetings, retreats, or events (at fair market rate) and create a deductible expense for the business

⚠️ Important: this requires a separate legal entity paying you rent β€” sole proprietors and single-member LLCs generally can't rent from themselves and get this benefit.

πŸ“Œ Keep it legit: use a written rental agreement, document fair market rent with comps, keep meeting agendas/minutes, and expect a 1099 if rent exceeds $600.

Curious if this works for your situation? DM me. πŸ‘‡

Business owners: got kids home for summer? Put them to work!

βœ… Their wages = a deductible business expense for you
βœ… Sole proprietors & parent-only partnerships: wages to kids under 18 are exempt from Social Security/Medicare, under 21 for unemployment tax
βœ… Your kid can use their own standard deduction to shelter their earnings from income tax

⚠️ Heads up: this doesn't apply to S-corps or C-corps β€” corporations must withhold F**A on a child's wages no matter what.

It's a win-win: real work experience for them, real tax savings for you.

DM me if you want to see if this fits your business. πŸ‘‡

πŸŽ‡ Happy 4th of July! While you're grilling and watching fireworks, here's a tax deadline you don't want to miss...

Today is generally the cutoff for solar and wind energy projects to meet the IRS's "beginning of construction" requirements (per IRS Notice 2025-42) and preserve valuable federal clean energy tax credits under the new tax law.

β˜€οΈ Here's the catch: the rules for what counts as "beginning construction" have shifted more than once recently, including a recent court ruling that reopened additional pathways to qualify. So if you've got a project in progress, don't assume you're automatically in or out β€” the details matter.

Have a solar or wind project on the table? Message me and let's figure out exactly where you stand. πŸ‘‡

Heading out this 4th of July weekend? If you're tipping your server, bartender, or delivery driver β€” they might want to thank the new tax law too! πŸ’°

Starting in 2026, tipped workers can deduct up to $25,000 in qualified tips, no itemizing required. It's one of several big changes from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act reshaping 2026 returns.

πŸ“Œ Pro tip: Start keeping records of your tip income NOW β€” good documentation today makes for a smoother tax season next spring.
