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 (601) 914-9190 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 (601) 914-9190 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 (601) 914-9190.

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 (601) 914-9190.

Can taxpayers deduct alimony payments? It depends on when you signed your divorce or separation agreement. If it was made in 2019 or later, you can’t deduct alimony (and alimony’s not included in the recipient’s taxable income). But these payments are generally deductible (and taxable to the recipient) if they’re subject to an agreement made before 2019 — unless it was modified. As for child support payments, they aren’t deductible if you make them or considered taxable income if you receive them, regardless of when the agreement was signed. If you’re going through a divorce, consult us. We can work with your attorney to manage tax issues and minimize your tax burden. Call us at (601) 914-9190.

Small business owners: Tax credits can reduce your tax bill dollar for dollar. But using them isn’t always straightforward. Many business credits fall under the general business credit (GBC), which limits how much you can claim each year and governs how unused credits are carried back or forward. Missteps can mean lost or delayed tax benefits. We help small businesses identify eligible credits, apply the GBC rules correctly and optimize their tax outcomes over time. Contact us at (601) 914-9190 to see whether you’re making the most of the credits available to you.
