Business owners: Should you use cash to pay federal tax debt or keep it for operational needs? Paying the IRS sooner may ease stress and reduce penalties, but draining cash can disrupt operations, payroll and growth. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. In many cases, the IRS offers options — such as installment agreements, temporary collection holds or penalty relief — that may help you stay compliant while preserving cash flow. The biggest risk is choosing extremes, either depleting cash reserves or ignoring the issue. A balanced strategy often works best. Call us at 708-864-4071. We can review your options and help you create a plan.

If your C corporation traditionally makes deductible charitable gifts, make sure you know the rules for 2026 donations. Starting Jan. 1, 2026, corporations can only deduct charitable gifts in excess of 1% of the company’s taxable income, with a 10% of income cap. Amounts exceeding the 10% cap can be carried forward — as can amounts that aren’t currently deductible due to the 1% floor — for up to five years. You may want to execute a multiyear charitable deduction strategy if your company’s income varies from year to year. Contact us at 708-864-4071. We can help by projecting income and other deductions so you can support your community while maximizing long-term tax benefits.

A common tax-related question is whether an employee working remotely from home qualifies for a home office tax deduction. The answer is “no.” But business owners, self-employed individuals and people with home-based side gigs may qualify. To be eligible, generally you must use part of your home regularly and exclusively as your principal place of business or a place to meet with customers, clients or patients in the normal course of business. Typically, the business use percentage is determined by the home office’s square footage, but other methods exist. Contact us with questions regarding the home office tax deduction.

The IRS has increased the 2026 cents-per-mile rates for calculating tax-deductible vehicle operating costs due to rising fuel costs. Effective July 1, 2026, the standard mileage rate for the business use of a car, van, pickup truck or panel truck is 76 cents per mile, up from 72.5 cents per mile for the first half of the year. The revised rate for medical and eligible moving purposes is 23.5 cents per mile, up from 20.5 cents per mile. For charitable driving, the 14 cents per mile rate remains unchanged. These rates apply to gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles as well as electric and hybrid ones. To protect your deduction, keep detailed mileage records. Contact us with questions.

If you’re thinking about financing a new vehicle, you may be able to deduct up to $10,000 per year of interest paid. The deduction is available for certain personal auto loans originated after Dec. 31, 2024 — even if you don’t itemize deductions. Modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) limits apply, and only qualifying vehicles assembled in the U.S. are eligible. Before purchasing, consider whether eligibility for the deduction should factor into your vehicle choice. We can help run the numbers. Call us at 708-864-4071.

Weddings can be exceptionally expensive. But if you’re getting married and planning a reception with food, you may be eligible for a tax deduction by donating the leftovers to a local food bank. Coordinate with your caterer and a vetted food pantry. You may also want to consider donating your wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, decorations and flowers to charity. To deduct these contributions, you’ll need to itemize federal tax deductions. (Physical goods don’t qualify for the new charitable deduction for nonitemizers.) Be sure to retain sales receipts and obtain donation acknowledgments from the organizations. Contact us with questions and for help with tax planning as a married couple.

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 to discuss the tax implications.

⛳️ We're trading calculators for golf clubs... just for one day! 😎

On Wednesday, July 15, our office will be closed while we participate in the Tinley Park Chamber of Commerce Golf Outing! 🏌️‍♀️☀️

🍮 Be sure to stop by our hole!
Erin & Katie will be serving up pudding shots, games, laughs, and a few surprises! 🎯🎉 (Trust us... you don't want to skip our stop.)

You’ll probably owe tax on your retirement income — how much depends on factors such as the types of retirement accounts you own and your other income sources. In general, retirees should withdraw funds from any taxable accounts first, tax-deferred accounts second and tax-free accounts last. But different withdrawal strategies may benefit you. The important thing is to start planning before you retire. Call us at 708-864-4071 for help.
