Thinking about mixing business with vacation this summer? ☀️✈️
The IRS may allow deductions for travel with a legitimate business purpose, including airfare, hotels, mileage, rental cars, trade shows, client meetings, and 50% of business meals.
🍽️
BUT if it’s mostly a vacation with one quick business stop, don’t expect a write-off.
👀
Good records matter:
✔️ Receipts
✔️ Meeting info
✔️ Agendas
✔️ Mileage logs
🚘
Business travel deductions are mainly for self-employed individuals and business owners.
🏝️
When in doubt, ask your tax professional before you pack your bags, 1-800-816-6121 or [email protected]

⚠️ What we’re seeing at Estrada Tax Firm:
Bigger refunds ≠ better tax strategy
👨🏽‍💻
If your refund jumped this year, it’s a perfect time to ask:
👉 “Am I overpaying all year just to get it back later?”
❓
🔥 Here’s the catch:
Those bigger refunds are being eaten up by higher costs: gas, groceries, and everyday expenses are canceling out the “extra” money for many households. 
🏡
👉 Translation:
You didn’t necessarily “make more”…
You just got your own money back differently this year.
💰
🔥 Pro Tip:
The real flex isn’t a big refund…
It’s keeping more money in your pocket all year long. The time is now to make a plan for your individual tax situation for the year ahead.

🚨SCAM ALERT🚨
⁉️
This time of year, the senior picture challenge and school trivia challenges resurface…and we’ve done them. Here is how we looked in the ‘80’s.
📸
Banks are issuing warnings to STOP VOLUNTEERING PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC. One of the most common security questions on accounts is where did you graduate — also the general question St. Louisians are known for — and what year. A lot of the other common security questions/answers can easily be found in the trivia challenges that are circulating on FB, almost as if the scammers themselves write the trivia.
👺
Posting pictures is fine, banks say, just be mindful of not divulging personal information to potential scammers, especially crucial near tax season when returns hit bank accounts.

April 15th officially marked the end of the 2026 tax filing season and we want to take this time to thank you for trusting Estrada & Associates, LLC, with your accounting and tax needs. We are truly grateful for your business.
🙏
We take pride in reviewing each and every client's specific situation by working one-on-one with them to identify creative strategies in lowering federal and state income tax. Nothing is more satisfying than being able to give our clients financial peace of mind.
🏦
As we look back over the past several years of unprecedented changes, it’s not the number hours we put in or the number of returns we filed that we’ll remember and celebrate, but rather, the personal service we were able to provide and the relationships we fostered which will last far beyond tax season.
🤝
Thank you for your trust, patronage, and support — and patience! You made this tax season a success and it has been an honor to work with you! Onward! — now back to working on tax extensions!

Tax Season is a great time to update any contact info changes to dodge any inconveniences for tax issues.📬
For now, refunds may still come by paper check — in some cases—and you don’t want that going to the wrong place. Plus, the IRS sends important notices by mail that may require a quick response. Hiring us means you will never directly deal with the IRS.
🙌
Use Form 8822 (or 8822-B for businesses) to update your info, which could take 4–6 weeks to process. The good news is, we do this automatically for Estrada & Associates clients, so nothing slips through the proverbial tax cracks. 1-800-816-6121

Millions wait until today to file… and yes, we’re running on caffeine and calculators.
