Not all IRS forms are created equal, and this one is a great example.

If the IRS asks you to sign a form that extends the time it has to assess tax, check which version it is. A recent Tax Court decision says a fixed-date extension can only be ended by the calendar. Mailing in a termination form did not do the job.

Boring? Maybe. But it can change how long an exam stays open.

Has anyone ever asked you to sign one of these? Tell us what you did, or send this to the person in your company who signs the paperwork.

Saturday reading for anyone who buys parts or materials across the border.

The U.S. Trade Representative is collecting public comments on how the USMCA is working, ahead of the 2027 review. The deadline is January 12, 2027.

We are tax people, not trade lawyers, but we know where this lands: your cost of materials, your pricing, your cash flow.

So here is our question. If the rules for Mexico and Canada shifted next year, which part of your business would feel it first? Drop a comment. We read every one.

Intercompany loans are the junk drawer of a multi-entity business.

Everyone knows something is in there. Nobody remembers exactly what.

This month a Treasury official signaled that the rules on related-party debt may get friendlier, with proposed changes expected by September 2027. Good news, but it is a preview, not a new rule.

In the meantime, the loan notes, interest terms, and repayment records still matter.

When did your group last clean out the drawer? Be honest. Tell us below, or tag the person in your office who keeps the spreadsheet.

Here is a sentence we did not expect to type this week: congestion is not suspension.

A Utah food maker said port delays during COVID disrupted its business and claimed the Employee Retention Credit. A federal court said no. Delays and higher costs are not the same as a government order stopping your operations.

If your business filed an ERC claim back then, this is a good week to dust off the file and make sure the story and the paperwork match.

Did you file one? Tell us how that process went, or tag a manufacturer who should read this.

Fun fact from the tax court docket this week.

A judge reviewed a land easement deduction on 144 acres in rural Georgia. The claim was $8.1 million. The court's number was about $115,000. That's roughly 70 times apart.

The big development plans? The county had been issuing about three new home permits a year, and no rezoning application was ever filed.

A good story is not the same as good evidence.

Own land or working on a development deal? What's the one document you'd want in the file before anyone asks? Tell us below.

Our week in tax, in one sentence: almost every good-news headline came with fine print.

Diesel tax break? Paid later.
Bigger interest deduction? Unless you're in California.
New scholarship credit? Starts in 2027, not now.

Fine print is kind of our thing. Our team in The Woodlands reads it all day so business owners don't have to.

Which story surprised you most this week? Let us know. And if one of them hit close to home, the coffee's on us.

Housing news that might touch more people than you'd think.

A new federal law stops the biggest investment firms (the ones that control 350+ houses) from buying existing single-family homes. Brand-new build-to-rent homes are still allowed.

For local builders and developers, that could mean more interest from big buyers in new construction. Great for business. Also a good moment to make sure the tax side of the deal is set up right.

Builders and agents: are you seeing this shift around Houston yet? We'd love to hear.
