Start with whatโ€™s fair for the work and realistic for your business.

A good college intern pay rate should account for:
โ€ข What similar businesses in your area are paying
โ€ข Whether the role requires special skills or education
โ€ข How much training and oversight the intern will need
โ€ข Whether your budget can support the role well

If youโ€™re bringing on an intern, the arrangement should focus on training, mentorship, and real learning experience, while also giving your business a better way to build future talent.

Getting married changes how the IRS views your finances, but it doesnโ€™t guarantee a lower tax bill.

For some couples, filing jointly can open up planning options. For others, filing separately may be the better option, especially when one spouse has high out-of-pocket medical expenses or other complications to their tax situation.

For an internship to be unpaid, the internโ€™s learning and career development needs to be the primary focus. The work should feel more like training than filling a role your business actually needs done.

A few things to think through:
โ€ข Is the training similar to what theyโ€™d get in a classroom?
โ€ข Are they learning, or mainly covering regular work?
โ€ข Are they replacing someone youโ€™d otherwise pay?
โ€ข Is there a clear understanding that no job is promised afterward?

Some people appreciate a quick note. Others value a private conversation, a public shoutout, or clear next steps they can act on.

The same goes for recognition.

A simple โ€œthank youโ€ can mean a lot, but it means even more when itโ€™s given in a way the other person actually receives well.

So hereโ€™s a good question to ask your team, your clients, or even yourself:

When someone wants to acknowledge your work, what feels most encouraging to you?

If you rent out your home, apartment, or spare room to guests, income taxes may not be the only tax issue on the table.

Occupancy taxes are taxes charged on the rental price paid by your guest. Theyโ€™re sometimes called tourist tax, hotel tax, room tax, or lodging tax.

Theyโ€™re different from income tax, which is based on your profit.

The confusing part is that occupancy tax rules can change depending on your city or county. And if the tax isnโ€™t collected and sent in correctly, the penalties can be a real problem.

If your business deducted tariff payments as an expense in prior years, you may not be able to treat the refund as tax-free money when it comes back.

Most of the refund will likely need to be reported as taxable income in the year you receive it.

Thereโ€™s another piece to watch too: CBP may include interest with the refund.

For tax reporting, youโ€™ll need to separate:
โ€ข The refund principal
โ€ข The interest paid on the refund

Donโ€™t just plan for the cash coming in. Plan for how it may show up on your tax return too. DM us if you want help getting that plan in place.

And you might be tempted to ask all kinds of tax questions with the new features. And the thing is, the answer might sound definitive in the results but actually still be wrong for your situation.

Tax questions need details that AI agents don't think to ask for.

Maybe your income changed. Maybe you got an IRS notice. Maybe youโ€™re asking about a deduction, but the real issue is how your business is set up.

Don't rely on quick answers from Gemini when it comes to your IRS obligations.

Ask a professional you can trust (we're right here).

If youโ€™re charging people to stay in your house, apartment, or even just a spare bedroom, that income may need to be reported on your tax return.

In the eyes of the IRS and state taxing authorities, youโ€™re acting as a landlord once guests are paying to stay there.

But the tax treatment depends heavily on your personal use of the space.

Two questions to think about:
1. How many days did guests stay there?
2. How many days did you use the property yourself?

So if youโ€™re renting out part or all of your home, donโ€™t just look at how much money came in.

Your guest days and personal-use days matter too.

โ€œOur debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices.โ€

About 42% of full-time working Americans donโ€™t have access to a retirement plan. And as a business owner, you have the power to influence that statistic.

If you've avoided offering a plan because of the administrative burden, it may be worth taking another look.

Under the SECURE 2.0 Act, eligible small businesses may qualify for:
1. A startup cost credit covering up to 100% of eligible administrative and employee education costs.
2. A credit that may help offset employer contributions for qualifying employees.
3. A separate credit for adding automatic enrollment.

But donโ€™t add a retirement plan just to chase tax credits.

What we need to consider is: does the plan fit your cash flow and your long-term business goals?

Let's run the numbers and figure out whether a retirement plan makes sense for your business.
