Is federal tax debt blocking you from achieving your financial goals?

The good news is relief may be just a phone call away. We can assess your situation and help you find a path forward. Contact us at (941) 744-0604 to discuss your next steps.

The ultimate success of a business often comes back to decisions made at its inception. If you’re planning to start a business, one key decision is choosing its structure, commonly sole proprietorship, C corporation, S corporation, partnership or limited liability company. In addition to owner liability variations, all have different tax requirements that can affect everything from hiring to cash flow to owner income. Another critical decision is choosing a tax year — either a calendar year or a fiscal year (12 consecutive months ending on the last day of any month except December). Call us at (941) 744-0604. We can help you make the best decisions for your current situation and your business’s future.

Did you know the IRS can file a tax return on your behalf if you don’t file one yourself? It’s called a Substitute for Return (SFR) — and it’s rarely in your favor. The IRS uses information it already has, such as W-2 and 1099 forms, to prepare the SFR. But it usually skips deductions and credits you may be entitled to, often resulting in a higher tax bill. You could also face penalties, interest and collection actions, such as liens or levies. The good news? You can fix it. Filing an accurate return can generally replace the SFR and may reduce what you owe, though penalties and interest may still apply. Call us at (941) 744-0604 for help.

The IRS is more likely to audit certain types of businesses, such as those that are primarily cash-based. Although you probably can’t change the nature of your transactions, you can control the accuracy of your tax returns. Minimize errors by maintaining meticulous documentation. Generally, you should keep tax records for at least three years — the normal statute of limitations for an IRS adjustment. And don’t try to go it alone: Call us at (941) 744-0604 for help reducing the likelihood of attracting IRS scrutiny, as well as for support if your tax return is ever questioned.

If you’re getting married, or were recently married, congratulations! Taxes are likely the furthest from your mind, but there are a few tax-related chores you need to consider. For example, next year, for 2026, you’ll be filing your first tax return as a married person. That could affect the amount of tax you should have withheld from your paycheck. Use the IRS Withholding Estimator to check. Then provide your employer with a new Form W-4. If your last name has changed, notify the Social Security Administration, which will inform the IRS. You and your new spouse should also review financial accounts, insurance coverage, estate plans and tax strategies. We can help. Contact us at (941) 744-0604.

Beginning July 4, 2026, parents, grandparents and others can contribute to Trump Accounts (TAs) for the benefit of eligible children. Certain children born 2025–2028 may also qualify for a $1,000 starter deposit from the federal government. TA contributions are generally limited to $5,000 per year (not counting the government deposit) and aren’t tax deductible. But earnings grow tax-deferred. At age 18, the TA will become a traditional IRA. For education goals, options like 529 plans may be better, because qualified education withdrawals are tax-free. Contact us at (941) 744-0604 to discuss what fits your family.

A 500-year-old soccer ball has made the journey from Scotland to Florida, and it is about to have its biggest moment yet.

The ball, recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's oldest football, was discovered during renovation work in the 1970s at Stirling Castle. Workers found it lodged in the rafters behind oak paneling in the Queen's Chamber, a room once used by Mary, Queen of Scots. Scientific testing dates it to somewhere between 1540 and 1570.

It is a remarkable object up close. Made from thick leather panels stitched together and turned inside out for a smoother surface, with a pig's bladder forming its inner core, the ball is roughly the size of a melon. It has been carefully kept at the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum in Scotland, which describes it as "a true piece of football history."

Now, for the first time ever, it is on American soil. The ball is on display at the Coral Gables Museum in Miami as part of an exhibition called "Diplomacy and the Beautiful Game: From Scotland to Brazil to Haiti." And on Wednesday, it will be spotlighted at the World Cup match between Brazil and Scotland, making it the first time the ball has ever been present at a FIFA World Cup game. The ball is five times older than the tournament itself.

Mary, Queen of Scots, is known to have been a keen sportswoman who enjoyed football among other sports. Caroline Mathers, director of the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum, put it best: "I like to imagine that Mary had a kickabout with this ball at some point."

As for whether it will bring any luck to Scotland, Mathers is hopeful. "We brought the ball over to Miami," she joked, "and I think it's going to bring us good luck." Scotland's fans, known as the Tartan Army, have already made a big impression in the US after flooding Boston for earlier fixtures, and they have now arrived in Miami ready for Wednesday's game.
