We're halfway through the year, making this the perfect time for a quick tax check to help avoid surprises next filing season.

Here are a few smart steps you can take today:
1. Organize your tax records: Keep important documents in one secure location so you're ready when tax season arrives.
2. Review your filing status: Marriage, divorce, a new child, or other life changes may impact your taxes and available credits.
3. Understand your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI): Your AGI affects your tax rate and eligibility for many deductions and credits.
4. Check your withholding: The IRS Tax Withholding Estimator has been updated to reflect recent tax law changes like deductions for qualifying tips, overtime pay, car loan interest, enhanced senior deductions. It has also made updates to family, homeownership, and charitable tax benefits.
5. Update your name or address: Make sure your information is current with the IRS, Social Security Administration, your employer, and USPS to help prevent delays.
6. Boost your retirement savings: Contributions to eligible retirement plans may reduce your taxable income while also helping you prepare for the future.

A little planning today can make tax season much smoother tomorrow.

This weekend, we're cheering on two of our own as they take on the 2026 Cascade Lakes Relay!

Please join us in wishing Drew, Will, and their relay team the very best as they tackle one of the Pacific Northwest's most iconic endurance events. Covering miles of scenic roads, mountain views, and challenging terrain, the Cascade Lakes Relay is a true test of teamwork, perseverance, and determination.

We know they'll represent the same dedication, commitment, and team spirit that they bring to Barrett & Co. every day.

Good luck, have fun, and enjoy every mile! We're proud to be cheering you on from Camas.

"Everything is a write-off!" ...Not exactly.

We hear it all the time:
"I bought lunch, so it's deductible."
"I work from home sometimes, so I qualify for a home office deduction."
"I took a client to a game, so I can write off the tickets."

The IRS has stricter rules than many people realize.

Business Meals:
Most business meals are only 50% deductible and must have a legitimate business purpose. The taxpayer (or employee) must be present, and the meal cannot be lavish or extravagant.

Home Office Deduction:
For self-employed individuals, the space must generally be used regularly and exclusively for business. A dining room table used for both work and family meals typically won't qualify.

Entertainment Expenses:
Client golf outings, sporting events, concerts, and similar entertainment expenses are generally NOT deductible, even when business is discussed. However, separately stated food and beverages purchased during an entertainment event may still qualify as a deductible meal expense.

The key to maximizing deductions isn't finding more write-offs, it's understanding the rules and maintaining proper documentation.

Before claiming a deduction, ask: Is it ordinary, necessary, and supported by records?

Questions about what your business can deduct? Our team is here to help.
