Helping care for an aging parent? Some of those costs may be tax-deductible.

If a parent or elderly relative moves into a nursing home mainly for medical care (or is chronically ill), payments to the facility can often count as deductible medical expenses.

Medical costs are deductible to the extent they exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income — and if you claim your relative as a dependent, you can generally combine their medical expenses with your own.

Caring for family is hard enough. If you're carrying these costs, let's see whether they can ease your tax bill.

When's the last time you checked your emergency fund?

Life changes — income, expenses, family, priorities — and the safety net that felt right a few years ago might not fit anymore. A quick review can tell you if you're still covered:

✔️ Add up your essential monthly costs (housing, utilities, food, insurance, transportation, health care).

✔️ Aim for 3–6 months of those essentials — more if your income varies, you're self-employed, or you're nearing retirement.

✔️ Check where it's parked: a high-yield savings or money market account can earn more while staying accessible.

Peace of mind is worth a 10-minute check.

Renting out your Florida vacation home this year? The “14-day rule” could mean tax-free income.

If you rent your vacation home for 14 or fewer days during the year, that rental income generally doesn't have to be reported at all.

Rent it longer, and the income becomes taxable — but you can deduct a share of expenses and depreciation based on how much it's rented versus used personally.

The rules get tricky fast (personal-use days, expense allocation, whether you can claim a loss). Before you list it, let's make sure you're on the right side of the line.

Want to offer retirement benefits without the cost and paperwork of a big 401(k)? You have options.

For small business owners, a SEP or SIMPLE plan can be a straightforward way to help your team save — and cut your own tax bill:

• SEP-IRA: contribute up to 25% of compensation (max $72,000 per employee in 2026), fully deductible for you — with minimal recordkeeping and no annual IRS reports.
• SIMPLE IRA / 401(k): built for businesses with 100 or fewer employees, with employee deferrals up to $17,000 in 2026 (plus catch-up contributions for those 50+).

The right plan depends on your size, cash flow, and goals. We'll help you pick the one that fits.

Nothing means more to us than hearing this from the people we work with. 🙏

Thank you to the South Florida business owners and families who've made Blum & Blum part of their team. If you're looking for a CPA who'll actually explain your finances and have your back year-round, we'd love to meet you.

The rules for deducting employee meals just changed — and it could affect your 2026 numbers.

If your business provides free on-site meals or snacks for employees, here's what's new: starting in 2026, employers generally can no longer deduct meals treated as de minimis fringe benefits, or employer-provided meals furnished for the employer's convenience on premises. For 2025, those were often 50–100% deductible.

Translation: a write-off you may have counted on is shrinking. If free meals are part of how you take care of your team, it's worth planning for the change now rather than discovering it at tax time.

This is part of a wave of changes from the 2025 tax law (the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”). We're breaking them down in plain English, one at a time.

¿Su contador entiende su negocio... y su idioma?

Manejar un negocio en el sur de la Florida ya es bastante. Entender sus impuestos no debería sumarle estrés — y mucho menos en un idioma que no domina del todo.

En Blum & Blum, le explicamos sus finanzas en español claro, sin tecnicismos. Y si su negocio tiene conexiones fuera de EE.UU. — cuentas, ingresos o familia en el extranjero — contamos con experiencia internacional para guiarlo con confianza.

Usted no tiene que ser experto en impuestos. Ese es nuestro trabajo. 💼

We're halfway through the year — which makes right now the best time to get ahead of next April's tax bill.

A quick midyear check-in can catch things while you can still do something about them:
✔️ Is your withholding or estimated tax still right after this year's changes?
✔️ Are you on track with retirement or HSA contributions? (Those lower your taxable income.)
✔️ Any big life or business changes that shift your tax picture?

Ten minutes now can save you a real headache — and real money — later.

You don't have to be a tax expert. That's our job.

Security reminder - tax season, and the months right after, are one of the most active times of year for scammers. Criminals know that taxpayers are exchanging sensitive financial information during and after the tax season and are more likely to respond to messages that appear to be from the IRS, their accountant, or other trusted sources.



The IRS publishes an annual "Dirty Dozen" list of the most common scams targeting taxpayers. We covered five in our last security reminder post. Here are 4 more scams every client should know about.



We take the security and privacy of our clients very seriously. Our office uses a secure client portal for document exchange, and we will never ask you to send sensitive personal or financial information through regular email without protection. If you ever receive a communication — whether by email, text, or phone — that claims to be from Blum & Blum and asks for information or payment that seems unusual, please call us immediately before responding.



When in doubt, reach out! We would gladly take your call than have you become a victim of a scam.
