🧔 Happy World Beard Day!

Meet George—our Head of Maintenance, Rose’s husband, and proud owner of a beard that could PROBABLY survive an IRS audit. 💪😂

George keeps things around the office running, repaired, and under control. And while we can’t officially confirm that his beard has been audited (ya know, client confidentiality!), based on the evidence… we’re pretty sure it passed.

Here’s to the guy who keeps WZ Accountants maintained—and somehow keeps that legendary beard looking good while doing it. 🏆

Happy World Beard Day, George! 🧔✅

🐾 Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

In honor of the occasion, we’re tackling the very important age-old tax question:

Can you write off your dog? 🐕💰

Sometimes… but your pup needs a better résumé than just “very good boy.” 😂

There are legitimate situations where dog-related expenses may qualify for a tax deduction — including certain trained service animals, bona fide working dogs, and unreimbursed foster/rescue expenses for a qualified charitable organization.

And of course, we needed some highly qualified models for this lesson. Meet firm owner Rose’s three pups, Maggie, Moose, & Molly, who graciously agreed to demonstrate both the legitimate deductions AND some… creative interpretations of the tax code. 😂

Unfortunately, barking at the Amazon driver does not automatically make your family dog a deductible security expense.

As always, the facts, documentation, and specific tax rules matter — so talk to your tax professional, or better yet - talk to us, before putting “CEO of Fetch” on the payroll. 🐕💼

Happy National Dog Day from WZ Accountants! ❤️🐾

🎁 Giving to charity in 2026? The tax rules are getting a little makeover. And yes… there’s some new math involved. 😅

Here are 3 charitable giving changes to have on your radar:

💚 1. New deduction for non-itemizers
Take the standard deduction? You may still be able to deduct up to $1,000 in qualifying cash donations — or $2,000 if married filing jointly.

🧮 2. New 0.5% AGI floor for itemizers
If you itemize, only the portion of your charitable giving that exceeds 0.5% of your AGI will count toward your deduction.

For example:
AGI = $200,000
0.5% = $1,000
Donate $2,000 → only $1,000 would be deductible.

🚨 Important: You don’t get to use both #1 and #2. You’ll either take the standard deduction and potentially use the new non-itemizer charitable deduction OR itemize and follow the 0.5% AGI floor rules.

📉 3. Reduced benefit for top-bracket taxpayers
For taxpayers in the highest tax bracket, the tax value of itemized deductions will be capped at 35%, which may reduce the tax benefit of charitable giving compared with prior rules.

❤️ The good news? You can still be generous. We just may need to be a little more strategic about it, which is where we come in!

If charitable giving is part of your tax planning, talk to us before year-end so we can help you figure out the most tax-efficient way to give. 🧐
