Financial statements help owners and other stakeholders evaluate historical business performance. But trouble can develop between reporting periods. So it’s critical to monitor operational changes for issues that could affect your financial interests. Unexpected turnover, delayed financial reports and unusual transactions may warrant a closer look. So can repeated borrowing, reliance on an owner’s personal credit or sales of equipment needed for operations. Individually, these developments may be explainable. Together, they could point to financial stress. Call us at (925) 944-1881 to help identify potential risks and evaluate a business’s financial health.

If you want to sell your business, receiving the purchase price over time in an installment sale may allow you to spread your gain — and the related tax — over several years. The buyer typically makes a down payment and issues a note for the balance. Each principal payment generally includes a tax-free return of basis and taxable gain; interest on the note is taxed separately as ordinary income. This arrangement may also expand the pool of buyers or help you obtain a higher price. But depreciation recapture may be taxable upfront, and you assume the risk that the buyer won’t pay. Contact us at (925) 944-1881 to discuss the pros and cons and determine the optimal deal structure for your situation.

The IRS says you’re deceased, but you’re very much alive. It sounds unbelievable, but this unusual situation can happen when an incorrect Social Security number (SSN) is entered on your tax return or when Social Security Administration (SSA) records mistakenly indicate that you or your spouse have died. If you receive IRS Notice CP01H, verify that the SSN on the return in question matches your Social Security card. If it does, contact the SSA to see whether its records need to be corrected. Then follow the notice instructions to unlock your IRS account. Call us at (925) 944-1881 for help resolving this issue promptly.

When buying a business, financial due diligence is essential. Start by reviewing financial statements, tax returns and the accounting records behind the numbers. Receivables, inventory, bank reconciliations and related-party transactions may reveal risks that aren’t obvious at first glance. Adjustments may also be needed for expenses or financial arrangements that won’t continue after the sale. An independent quality of earnings (QoE) report can help determine whether reported earnings are sustainable. New U.S. Small Business Administration guidance requires QoE reports for certain change-in-ownership transactions. Contact us at (925) 944-1881 for help navigating the due diligence process.

You must pay the alternative minimum tax (AMT) if your AMT liability exceeds your regular tax liability. An exemption of $90,100 is available ($140,200 for joint filers, half that for separate filers), but it phases out when income exceeds certain levels — which have dropped for 2026. Plus, the exemption is now phased out twice as fast as in 2025. Add to that the impact of a potentially larger state and local tax deduction (which isn’t AMT-deductible), and you might be at higher AMT risk this year. Call us at (925) 944-1881 for help assessing your risk and finding strategies to minimize your taxes.

Limited partner status in a business generally offers valuable benefits, including liability protection and self-employment tax advantages. But it may also limit your ability to deduct partnership losses under the passive activity loss rules. Passive losses are usually deductible only against passive income unless you materially participate in the business. Limited partners face a tougher standard than general partners. Certain work, such as investor activities or tasks not customarily performed by owners, may not count toward material participation. Other limitations may also apply. Before investing in a limited partnership or claiming losses, contact us at (925) 944-1881 to discuss the tax implications.

Reconstructing business mileage records months after the fact can be frustrating — and unreliable. If you or your employees use personal vehicles for business, establish a system for logging trips as they occur. QuickBooks users can take advantage of mobile tools that automatically track trips and classify business vs. personal mileage. Other mileage apps or a well-maintained manual log can also work. As year end approaches, make sure your records include key details, such as mileage and business purpose. Timely, accurate documentation is essential for bookkeeping, employee reimbursements and tax reporting. Call us at (925) 944-1881 for help improving your mileage tracking process.

10/13/2026

Are you ready for your next financial statement audit? A well-planned audit is typically more efficient, less disruptive and easier to manage than one that relies on last-minute preparation. Before fieldwork starts, inform your auditor about significant business developments, resolve accounting questions, review last year’s adjustments and control recommendations, and organize supporting documentation. Complete records, clear responsibilities and prompt responses can help avoid delays and minimize surprises. Contact us at (925) 944-1881 to coordinate audit planning and address potential issues early.

Giving away assets during your life can reduce the size of your taxable estate. One option is to pay someone’s tuition or medical expenses. Such payments can be gift-tax-free — but only if you make them directly to a qualifying educational institution or medical provider. (Advancing the funds to a loved one or reimbursing previously paid expenses doesn’t count.) Unlike making gifts under the gift tax annual exclusion ($19,000 per recipient for 2026), there’s no limit on the amount of tuition or medical expenses you can pay tax-free. Call us at (925) 944-1881 to learn more about lifetime gifts.
