If you own a business, you can leverage your annual gift tax exclusions ($19,000 per recipient for 2026) and your lifetime gift and estate tax exemption ($15 million for 2026) by gifting ownership interests. These interests may be eligible for valuation discounts for lack of control and marketability. Another way to benefit from valuation discounts is to set up a family limited partnership (FLP). You fund the FLP with assets such as public or private stock and real estate, and then gift limited partnership interests. Contact us at (208) 529-9276 for additional details.

If you’re thinking about starting a business, make sure you understand your federal tax responsibilities before opening your doors. IRS Publication 583, Starting a Business and Keeping Records, covers the basics. Your business structure (such as a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company or corporation) determines which forms you must file and which taxes apply, including income, self-employment, employment and excise taxes. You may also need an Employer Identification Number for tax purposes, and you should be aware of your recordkeeping requirements. Starting a business is exciting, and getting the tax details right is important. We’re here to help.

Psst! Want to save more for retirement? If your employer offers one, use your Health Savings Account (HSA). You might already contribute pretax earnings and use the balance for out-of-pocket medical expenses. But because HSA balances carry over year to year and can grow indefinitely tax-deferred, these accounts also work as retirement savings tools. After age 65, you can use penalty-free distributions for nonmedical expenses, but they’ll be taxable. So if you’ve maximized contributions to a 401(k) and IRA, HSAs offer another opportunity. Contact us at (208) 529-9276 to discuss retirement savings strategies.

Business owners: 100% bonus depreciation is back. It had been scheduled to drop to 40% for 2025 and 20% for 2026 and to disappear for 2027. Also, the Sec. 179 expensing limit has doubled for 2025 and is indexed for inflation going forward. Eligible assets for both breaks generally include machinery, equipment, computers, furniture and certain qualified improvements to nonresidential real estate. These tax law changes could make a meaningful difference on your 2025 return and in your 2026 planning. Contact us at (208) 529-9276 to learn more.

Attention, small business owners: As you wrap up your 2025 tax filings and begin planning for 2026, remember that many previously temporary tax law provisions are now permanent. And new opportunities may be available to help reduce your tax burden. If you’re ready to take a smart, strategic approach to the year ahead, we’re here to guide you. Contact us at (208) 529-9276.

The IRS is reminding taxpayers of new deductions available this tax season. If you’re 65 or older, you potentially can claim an additional $6,000 deduction. Depending on your occupation, you may be able to deduct up to $25,000 in qualified tips. You may also be able to deduct up to $12,500 in qualified overtime ($25,000 if you’re married and file jointly). If you took out a vehicle loan in 2025, you possibly can deduct up to $10,000 in interest paid. But all these breaks are subject to additional rules, and they phase out when income exceeds applicable limits. If you’re eligible, you can claim these deductions whether you itemize or take the standard deduction. Contact us at (208) 529-9276 with questions.

07/20/2026

The decision to itemize deductions or claim the standard deduction can have a big impact on your tax bill. With a higher standard deduction and itemized deductions more limited, many taxpayers who once benefited from itemizing have been better off taking the standard deduction. But the recent quadrupling of the deduction limit for state and local taxes could make itemizing worthwhile again for some. Not sure which is better for you? We can help. Call us at (208) 529-9276.

In a divorce, a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO) allows retirement plan assets to be transferred to a spouse without dire tax consequences. A court issues a QDRO, which states a dollar amount or a percentage of assets that belongs to the spouse. It also specifies the number of payments to be made (or the length of time for the terms to apply). Contact us at (208) 529-9276 for details.
