JTC CPAs

10/29/2026

A CPA-led plan typically starts with forecasting your taxable income and then selecting the levers you can still pull before year-end.

Some of these controllable planning levers are:

- Timing of income and expenses
- Retirement plan contributions and setup timing
- Owner compensation strategy
- Large equipment/software purchases & how they should be treated
- Estimated tax review to reduce underpayment surprises

Prefer to start small? Ask about a financial clean-up + forecasting roadmap so you can prioritize the highest-impact changes first.

What U.S. owners should do when operations span multiple states?

Even when your headquarters and primary work are in one place, modern small businesses often sell, hire, or serve clients across state lines. That can affect registration, payroll withholding, sales tax, and state income/franchise tax exposure. A practical planning habit is to maintain a quarterly “state footprint” check:

Where did we ship products or deliver services?
Where did we hire remote employees or contractors?
Did we open a location, store inventory, or attend trade shows?

When you catch changes early, you can often address registrations and compliance before penalties and rush fees show up.

Decide what you’ll document before you spend.

A common pain point isn’t whether an expense is “allowed”—it’s whether it’s supportable. Before you ramp travel, client entertainment, or vehicle use, set a simple policy: who approves, how receipts are captured, and what business purpose note is required.

Does the 2026 mileage change mean I need two mileage logs?

You need mileage records that can separate miles driven before July 1, 2026 from miles driven on/after July 1, 2026 if you use the standard mileage rate. The IRS issued revised rates effective July 1, 2026, including 76 cents per mile for business.
