Duplicate transactions aren't normally something I'd panic about in your bookkeeping because they're SO easy to catch + correct...

But if ~someone~ isn't regularly reconciling your accounts, those pesky duplicates can haunt your books for waaay longer than any small business owner or startup founder would want. 👀

I, myself, am guilty of saying that a big tax refund is basically just giving Uncle Sam an interest-free loan...

But there's a specific scenario I want to share today where getting a big tax refund doesn't necessarily mean you overwithheld or overpaid.

In fact, *this* is specifically built into our tax system to result in a refund: refundable credits.

When it comes to refundable credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit or Premium Tax Credit, even if they reduce your tax liability to $0, whatever amount of the credit is left over is added to your refund.

Want to worry less about the tax nitty-gritty and just feel good knowing you've got a accountant who cares about these types of things? I can make that happen! 😏

Let me paint a picture for you: it's October and you're deep in Black Friday + Halloween + holiday planning (just like your contractors). 🎃

November rolls around, and you're busier than ever, and December? Good luck getting a hold of you!

Oh yeah, same goes for your contractors! 👀

It's not that they want to ignore you the last few months of the year; we all just get busyyyy!

So when you start trying to get those loose ends, like W-9s from your contractors in December, you're too late...

Moral of the story: now is the time to make sure you have W-9s from all the contractors you've paid in 2026.

Before throwing my little sister into the big, bad tax-filing world of W-2s and 1099s, this is the exact advice I'd give her! ➡️

10/14/2026

Let me tell you a little bit about her, and you tell me if anyone rings a bell! 😜

She's a small business owner who's trying to grow her business without letting her finances get completely out of control.

She's constantly juggling serving her clients, trying to have a life outside of work, and all the never-ending admin work of being a business owner.

She definitely wants to know her numbers, but she'd rather stare at a blank wall for three hours than open up QuickBooks.

Bonus points if she's a coffee lover, so we can chat numbers AND our favorite coffee orders.

I totally have a type; like this post if it's you (or send it to my next client!). 📲

"File even if I can't afford my taxes? Or wait until I can pay?"

That's what my clients ask when we prepare their return, and they're not able to pay their full tax bill.

Generally, my advice is to file and pay whatever you *can* towards your bill.

Filing on time helps you avoid a failure-to-file penalty, but the failure-to-pay penalty can still add up on your unpaid balance.

If you're in a tough spot with your taxes and need some advice, let's chat! 📲

You might save a few minutes by just drafting up a contractor agreement instead of setting up a new hire in your payroll system...

But if you get that employee vs. contractor classification wrong, the time and money you thought you saved up front just might cost you waaay more in back taxes + penalties.

If you're not totally sure *what* to call your new team member, ask an HR expert, like

I need you to quit treating your W-4 like it's a time capsule that you only have to come back to in 10 years...

It's a living, breathing document that can have a very REAL effect on your tax bill.

If your W-4 doesn't reflect your current marital status, dependents, and any side hustle + second jobs... what are you waiting for?!

Call up HR and get that thing updated. 🤨

All I want is to help small business owners think BIG! 🧠

Like, you're not telling me Jeff Bezos only worries about taxes in April... so why are you?! 👀

Not that Bezos is my business gold standard, but seriously, I need small business owners to stop playing it safe when it comes to their money mindsets.

ANYYTHING IS POSSIBLE (especially with as your bookkeeper).

You're tired of tax deadlines...

I'm tired of tax deadlines...

Let's just get through the ones on the next slide, then I'm officially hibernating until 1099 season.😴
