Filing taxes is never fun, but filing after a divorce is a whole other story 🤔 Here are a few quick tips to help:

🖋️ Ensure your name is correct – The name on your return must match the name on your social security card.
🖋️ Agree on filing status – Your marital status on Dec. 31 determines your tax filing status for the entire year. Unless the divorce is finalized by then, you need to know if you’re filing jointly or separately with your spouse.
🖋️ Decide on child tax credits – The IRS only allows one parent to claim the child tax credit, so you and your spouse will need to discuss and be in agreement if you have dependents.

Filing your tax return the first year after a divorce can be a little tricky—if you have any questions, please reach out! We’re here to help.

August has a way of reminding us that change is already on its way. Summer is not quite over, but the days are already hinting at something new — earlier sunsets, a slight cool in the morning, and a quiet sense that a fresh season is just around the corner.

It can be tempting to hold on to what is familiar and comfortable, but this month is a gentle nudge to look forward instead. This is the moment to channel something new: a goal, a habit, or a mindset shift that moves you toward the next chapter with intention.

As we move through August, what is one thing you are ready to build or step into? Feel free to share it in the comments. We would love to hear what you are looking forward to.

💡 When Should You Start Collecting Social Security?

One of the biggest retirement decisions you'll make is deciding when to claim your Social Security benefits. While benefits can begin as early as age 62, claiming too soon could permanently reduce your monthly income.

📅 Key facts to consider:
✔️ Full Retirement Age is 67 for those born in 1960 or later.
✔️ Claiming at age 62 can reduce benefits by up to 30%.
✔️ Delaying benefits beyond full retirement age can increase your benefit by about 8% per year until age 70.

The best time to claim depends on several factors, including:
• Your health and life expectancy
• Whether you plan to continue working
• Spousal and survivor benefit considerations
• Your overall retirement income and tax situation

Many retirees are surprised to learn that up to 85% of their Social Security benefits may be taxable, depending on their total income. Coordinating Social Security with IRA withdrawals, pensions, RMDs, and other income sources can help improve cash flow and reduce taxes.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. A well-planned retirement income strategy can help you maximize your benefits and provide greater financial security throughout retirement.

📱 Small Business Marketing Doesn't Have to Break the Bank

Many small business owners feel overwhelmed by marketing, but today's social media platforms have made it easier than ever to reach customers, build trust, and grow your brand—without a massive advertising budget.

🚀 Here are a few social media trends helping small businesses succeed in 2026:

🎥 Short-Form Video Content
Quick videos featuring behind-the-scenes moments, customer success stories, FAQs, or product demonstrations often outperform traditional advertisements. Authenticity matters more than perfection!

🤖 AI-Powered Marketing Tools
Artificial intelligence can help create captions, generate graphics, edit videos, and schedule posts—saving valuable time while helping maintain a professional online presence.

📅 Consistency Over Perfection
You don't need to post every day or create flawless content. Sharing helpful information a few times each week can keep your business visible and top of mind.

💡 Educate Your Audience
Answer common questions, share industry insights, and offer practical tips. Educational content helps position your business as a trusted resource.

💬 Engage, Don't Just Broadcast
Respond to comments, answer messages, and interact with your followers. Social media is about building relationships, not just promoting products and services.

The businesses that see the greatest success aren't necessarily the ones that go viral—they're the ones that consistently show up, provide value, and build trust over time.

🏙️ Own a Luxury Second Home in NYC? A New Tax Is Coming.

New York’s newly enacted Pied-à-Terre Tax takes effect July 1, 2026, targeting high-value New York City properties that are not the owner's primary residence.

The surcharge generally applies to:
✔️ One-, two-, and three-family homes valued over $5 million
✔️ Condominiums and co-ops valued over $1 million during the initial phase

The law introduces a two-phase approach, with different valuation methods and tax rates for houses, condos, and co-ops through 2027, before transitioning to a more uniform system beginning in 2028.

Not all properties are affected. Rental apartment buildings, commercial properties, hotels, vacant land, certain new construction units, and some sponsor-owned properties are excluded.

One important detail: the primary residence exemption may be broader than many owners realize. The NYC Department of Finance will determine whether a property qualifies as a primary residence, and owners will have the opportunity to provide supporting documentation if they disagree.

If you own a high-value NYC second home, condo, or co-op, now is the time to understand how these new rules could affect you. Valuation methods, residency determinations, and documentation requirements will all play a critical role in your tax liability.
