Form 1099-K – Did You Know?

If you receive a Form 1099-K, review it for payments that may not be taxable, such as reimbursements from friends or family. If these payments were mistakenly included, ask the payment processor to issue a corrected form. Keep in mind that some transactions involving personal items may still have tax consequences, particularly if you sold an item for more than you paid for it.

Completing W-4 and I-9 forms CORRECTLY

Save the date – July 30, 2026 at 11:30 a.m.

A webinar on completing W-4 and I-9 forms. This 90-minute session will give you guidance on staying compliant with IRS and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations.

A few years ago, the IRS issued a 4-page W-4 form that has confused both employers and employees resulting in many mistakes especially in the amount of taxes deducted from paychecks. In turn, these mistakes can result in an employee owing a large amount of money to the IRS when filing their taxes. We will review the W-4 form to ensure you understand how to complete the form correctly.

Back in 1986, all employers were required to complete what is known as an I-9 form for all new hires. With the Trump Administration’s crack down on undocumented workers, the number of inspections and raids conducted by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have skyrockets resulting in fines exceeding a million dollars. We will review the I-9 requirements in detail and give you all the tools you need to complete I-9 forms correctly.

Employer-Provided Childcare Tax Credit – Did You Know?

Businesses that offer childcare benefits to employees may qualify for the Employer-Provided Childcare Tax Credit for some of the expenses involved. Eligible costs may include acquiring, constructing, or improving a childcare facility, operating an on-site childcare program, contracting with a qualified childcare provider, or paying for childcare resource and referral services.

Beginning in 2026, the credit generally equals 40% of qualified childcare expenditures (or 50% for eligible small businesses) plus 10% of qualified childcare resource and referral expenses. The maximum annual credit has also increased to $500,000, or $600,000 for eligible small businesses.
