When you're contributing to an individual retirement account (IRA), the type of account you choose affects when you may receive the tax benefit.

Traditional IRAs → if you qualify, your contribution may be fully or partially deductible in the current year.

Roth IRAs → No deduction in the current year, but potential for tax-free withdrawals in the future.

Not sure which one is right for you? ⤵️

We touch on retirement in all of our 1:1 tax planning meetings for Organized Accounting clients.

Not all "tax strategies" you see on social media are endorsed by yours truly an accountant who actually helps your business with taxes on the daily.

But the tax strategy on slide 4?

I'm giving that one a 980000/10 all day every day! 😏

The filing deadline may not be until October 15th, but that doesn't mean you should wait until October to get everything together. 👀

We still need time to review your documents, follow up on missing information, clarify income or deductions, and make sure your return is accurate and complete.

To all current Organized Accounting clients: please upload your remaining tax documents by September 15th. 📆

Not sure what we're still waiting on?

DM me "🗂️" and I'll send you a list of the remaining information we need to get your tax return filed!

I'm coming to you very earnestly and asking from the bottom of my heart... pleaaasee quit doing this! 🙏

The temptation of saving on self-employment tax is very real. I get that!

But depending on your profit, it might not be the right time now (or ever) to make an S election for your business.

Can an S election lead to tax savings? Absolutely! 💸

But can it also cost you more?

With the need to run payroll, more admin work, and additional tax filings, absolutely!

At Organized Accounting, we run your numbers FIRST to make absolutely sure that an S election is right for you (before it becomes an even bigger headache to reverse it).

Your Business: Sometimes, what you think is a tax write-off and what the IRS does are living in two totally separate realities.

I'm here to bring you back down to earth (and hopefully prevent you from getting a nasty IRS notice!). 🙅

Remember when you extended your taxes waaay back in April and decided you'd worry about your taxes later?

It's ~officially~ later! 🙃

Time to upload any missing tax documents, respond to any questions from me sitting in your inbox, and sign your e-file authorization so we can finally get your return filed! 📤

Open up an LLC + run all your expenses through your business credit card = unlimited write-off hack, right?! 🙂‍↔️

This is soooo obviously wrong, but the amount of TikTok tax bros pushing this narrative (and the people eating it up in the comments) is concerning...

First off, you don't actually need to open up an LLC to get tax write-offs!

If you're running a business, and you have properly documented, ordinary + necessary expenses in the course of running said business, there's a good chance that counts as a write-off.

Personal expenses don't magically become tax deductions just because you put them on your business card (you're just creating a bookkeeping mess if you do this).

You've probably heard that "the U.S. has a pay-as-you-go tax system", kay cool, but what does that meaaan?!

When you're an employee, your employer withholds federal income tax from your paycheck that usually satisfies the IRS's desire to get paid as you make money (that is, if you fill out your W-4 correctly).

But when you're self-employed, that responsibility to pay your taxes throughout the year falls on you in the form of estimated taxes! 🫵

These are due ~roughly~ every quarter, and your accountant can help you determine how much you should pay to avoid penalties + interest.

P.S. That isn't your only new responsibility if you're self-employed... you've also got to worry about self-employment tax now. 🥴

These two things are just the tip of the iceberg on why I recommend that entrepreneurs work with a qualified accountant.
