Will your Social Security benefits be taxable? A portion might be. How much depends on your provisional income, your overall income and IRS thresholds. Provisional income is your adjusted gross income with some additional calculations. You may have to report up to 85% of your Social Security benefits as taxable income if your provisional income is over $34,000 ($44,000 for joint filers). If you file separately from your spouse who lived with you at any time during the year, the threshold is $0. Smart tax planning can potentially reduce your liability. We can help project your provisional income and review your overall tax situation to identify strategies that make sense for you. Call us at (702) 898-9000.

Define your target market, revenue model and marketing approach with credible data. And showcase your leadership team’s expertise and achievements. You should also provide reliable financials to support your growth projections. AI tools may help you create a pitch deck, but be sure to personalize content and double-check all numbers.

If you’re age 50 or older, a great way to enhance your retirement nest egg is to make “catch-up” contributions to your 401(k), 403(b), 457 plan, SIMPLE or IRA. And workers age 60 to 63 can potentially boost their 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan up to 150% of the regular catch-up limit. For 2026, this means an extra contribution of $11,250 ($5,250 for SIMPLEs). Want to make the most of tax-advantaged savings opportunities? Contact us at (702) 898-9000.

College student-athletes can now be legally paid for the use of their “name, image and likeness” (NIL) without risking NCAA eligibility. But if you support an athlete through NIL contributions, know that payments made directly to student-athletes aren’t tax-deductible. Contributions to organizations commonly called “collectives” may be deductible, but be sure to clear three key hurdles: 1) Itemize deductions on your return, 2) give only to a collective that’s a tax-exempt charity, and 3) don’t earmark payments for specific athletes or make them in exchange for substantial benefits, such as season tickets. Contact us at (702) 898-9000 to learn more.

Your business can show a profit on paper and still face cash shortages because profit and cash flow measure different things. Profit reflects revenue minus expenses, while cash flow tracks the movement of cash in and out of your business. Cash shortfalls are especially common for growing businesses. That’s because you typically must pay suppliers, vendors and lenders upfront, and then wait for customers to pay you. Understanding the difference between profit and cash flow — and how to account for each — can help you make smarter financial decisions. Contact us at (702) 898-9000 to learn strategies for improving cash flow management.

Many experts are now urging business owners to view cyberattacks as more of a certainty than a possibility. Why? Because they seem to be happening to just about every company in one way or another. What can your small-to-midsize business do to protect itself? First and foremost, you need a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy that accounts for not only your technology, but also your people, processes and as many known external threats as possible. The good news is there are free resources available online, such as policy templates and program frameworks. However, you may need to invest in an IT consultant for customized assistance. For help managing your technology costs, contact us at (702) 898-9000.

Does your child have a paid internship? Don’t let him or her forget about taxes. Many interns are surprised to learn that internship stipends or other related payments are generally taxable, even if the program offers training or educational opportunities. Depending on the arrangement, payments may be reported on Form W‑2 or Form 1099. Even if no tax form is issued to your child, the income may still be taxable. If taxes aren’t withheld from internship pay, estimated tax payments might be necessary to avoid surprises when it’s time to file a tax return. If you have questions, we can help. Contact us at (702) 898-9000.
