It’s time to address year-end tax planning, especially if your business is booming. Start by projecting your 2026 tax obligation and assessing whether estimated payments made throughout the year are sufficient. You may need to adjust your fourth payment to potentially avoid (or minimize) underpayment penalties.

Also consider tax-reduction strategies, such as timing revenue and expenses, taking advantage of the qualified business income deduction, contributing to a retirement plan and leveraging first-year depreciation write-offs for eligible asset purchases.

These moves require careful coordination, so contact us to explore your options. We can help develop a plan tailored to your situation.

Are you separating or divorcing this year? Decisions made before your divorce is finalized can affect your 2026 income tax liability and your tax situation in future years. Some of the most critical tax issues to consider as you work through a separation or divorce are related to: 1) tax filing status and, if you have dependent children, who’ll claim them for tax purposes, 2) support payments, 3) home ownership, 4) retirement accounts, and 5) business interests. We can help you evaluate the tax consequences of your separation or divorce so you can make informed decisions before year end. Contact us to get started.

The Social Security Administration has announced that Social Security benefits for 2027, including Old-Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance (OASDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments, will increase 3.6%. This is the largest annual cost-of-living increase since 2023, driven primarily by high inflation. Social Security retirement benefits will increase by about $75 per month on average starting in January. Increased payments to SSI recipients will begin on Dec. 31, 2026. (Note: Some people receive both Social Security benefits and SSI.) The maximum earnings subject to Social Security tax (the so-called “wage base”) will increase $7,800, from $184,500 to $192,300.

Business owners often have more complex tax situations that can trigger an IRS audit. The good news is that with proper preparation, detailed records and professional guidance, you can make the process far less stressful.

Some returns may be selected randomly, but the IRS also has some audit hot buttons. Examples include significant differences between current and prior-year returns, repeated business losses, profit margins and expenses that differ substantially from similar businesses, and mathematical errors.

If you receive an IRS notice, don’t panic; contact us immediately. We can help you understand the issues, gather the needed documents and respond to the inquiries effectively.

Retirement is far from most teenagers’ minds when they get their first jobs. But those early earnings create a significant tax-advantaged savings opportunity. Even modest IRA contributions now can substantially multiply over time. For example, just $2,000 contributed to an IRA earning 5% annually will grow to nearly $23,000 50 years later. A Roth IRA can be especially powerful because qualified distributions will be tax-free. For 2026, the annual contribution limit for IRAs is the lesser of taxable compensation or $7,500. 2026 contributions can be made until April 15, 2027, but the income to support them must be earned by Dec. 31, 2026. Contact us to discuss tax-smart planning for your teen.

Estate planning can take on added significance when a loved one has a disability. Leaving assets directly to that person could interfere with his or her eligibility for certain means-tested government benefits. A special needs trust (SNT) allows assets to be held and managed by a trustee without being treated as the beneficiary’s countable resources for certain government benefits purposes. An SNT’s assets can pay for virtually anything government benefits don’t cover. The trust must not pay money directly to the beneficiary. Rather, it must distribute funds — on behalf of the beneficiary — directly to the third parties providing goods and services to him or her. Contact us for more details.
