💡 Did you know the Roth IRA "five-year rule" isn't just one rule?

There are actually multiple five-year rules that can impact when you can withdraw your money tax-free and whether penalties may apply.

Here are a few key things to know:
✔️ Your original Roth IRA contributions can generally be withdrawn at any time without taxes or penalties.
✔️ Investment earnings have different rules and may need to meet certain requirements before they're tax-free.
✔️ Each Roth conversion has its own five-year holding period, so timing matters.

Understanding how these rules work can help you avoid unexpected taxes and make more informed retirement planning decisions.

Looking for guidance? Let's chat. We'd be happy to help you better understand your retirement strategy and answer your questions.

🎯 3. Refocus and recommit
Set clear goals, revise your strategy, and prioritize what will truly move the needle in the second half of the year.

🌎 Working Abroad? You May Qualify for Valuable Tax Benefits. 🌍💼✈️

If you're a U.S. citizen living and working overseas, you may be eligible for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) and a deduction for certain foreign housing expenses.

For 2026, the IRS increased:
✅ Foreign Earned Income Exclusion to $132,900
✅ Base Foreign Housing Deduction to $21,264 (higher limits may apply in certain high-cost locations)

To qualify, you must meet specific IRS residency and income requirements, and the rules can be complex.

If you're working internationally—or planning to—it's important to understand your options and ensure you're taking advantage of every tax benefit available.

Contact our team to discuss your situation and determine whether you qualify.

🦁🐍🐢 Our Girl Scouts had an unforgettable adventure at Jungle Experience Zoo in June! 🦜🦘

The girls had the opportunity to see a wide variety of amazing animals and enjoyed several hands-on experiences, including feeding and holding some of their new furry, feathered, and scaly friends. It was a fun, educational day that everyone will remember!

We were especially impressed by the commitment to animal welfare, education, and conservation which was evident throughout our visit, making it a wonderful experience for both the girls and the adults. 🦒💚

A big thank you to the team at Jungle Experience Zoo for such a memorable day. We can't wait to come back!

🚨 Could You Be Eligible for a Tax Refund?

A recent court ruling in Kwong v. United States may create an opportunity for some taxpayers to claim refunds of certain IRS penalties, interest, or other tax-related amounts associated with tax years 2019–2022.

Important: The ruling is currently under appeal, and there is no guarantee that filing a claim will result in a refund or credit. However, because filing deadlines may apply, it may be worth exploring your options now.

If you think you may qualify, our team can evaluate your situation and determine whether filing a protective claim or conducting further analysis is appropriate.

Contact our office today to schedule a consultation and discuss your eligibility.
