Need to File Your BOI?

Even though penalties and fines are currently suspended, you may still be required to file your BOI report — especially if you’re a foreign entity registered in the U.S.

📅 According to the latest FinCEN interim final rule:

U.S.-based entities (domestic) are exempt from BOI filing as of March 21, 2025.

Foreign entities registered before March 26, 2025 must file by April 25, 2025.

Foreign entities registered on or after March 26, 2025 must file within 30 days of registration.

💡 Important Filing Guidance:

Filing your BOI is FREE if you do it yourself.

Always file using the official portal: https://boiefiling.fincen.gov/

Do not pay a filing fee if you are filing yourself — paying a third-party could result in no report being filed in your business name.

Be cautious of companies claiming they can file your BOI for a fee.

👉 At KML Financial, we include BOI filing in our Business Start‑Up Package and help clients stay compliant, whether you need to file, update, or correct a report.

Stay on top of your compliance and avoid unnecessary surprises!

Do You Need to File Form OS-114?
If you sell products or taxable services in Connecticut, you’re likely required to file Form OS-114, the state’s Sales & Use Tax Return. Even with zero sales, businesses holding a CT permit must still report.

Stay compliant and stress-free — KML Financial can:
✔️ Reconcile your books monthly
✔️ File your report for you
✔️ Or handle both, so nothing gets missed.

Simple, accurate, and on time — every month.

Financial Mistakes That Cost Small Business Owners Big — And How to Avoid Them

Running a small business takes passion, hard work and nonstop attention — but what often trips up owners is financial mistakes, especially around taxes and cash flow. These errors don’t just mean paying a little more in taxes — they can erode profits, drain cash reserves, and in worse cases contribute to business closure.

Here are 4 key pitfalls to watch out for:

1. Weak bookkeeping and mixed records
When income, expenses and transactions aren’t tracked properly, you’ll likely miss deductions and pay more tax than necessary.

Inaccurate records also make it harder to monitor your cash flow, make informed decisions and spot issues early.

2. Choosing the wrong business structure or not reviewing it
Your business entity (sole proprietor, LLC, S‑Corp, etc.) affects how you’re taxed, what you owe, and your personal liability. Staying in an inefficient structure can mean overpaying tax and limiting your ability to grow.

3. Missing legitimate deductions and tax planning
Many small business owners leave money on the table because they’re unaware of deductions or fail to claim them — which means higher tax bills.

Without a proactive tax plan, you’re reactive — and reactive often costs more.

4. Running short on cash and not setting aside for tax obligations
When you invest aggressively, or spend without planning for future tax bills, you risk ending the year with a big tax bill, low buffer and high stress. Some businesses simply don’t survive the financial squeeze.

✅ How KML Financial Can Help

At KML Financial, we help small business owners avoid costly financial mistakes by:

-Reconciling your books monthly to keep records accurate and ensure you don’t miss deductions.

-Reviewing and optimizing your business structure for the most tax-efficient setup.

-Developing a proactive tax strategy, so you’re not scrambling at year-end.

-Setting up a system to pay taxes quarterly, keeping you compliant and avoiding year-end surprises.

💡 Support with bookkeeping, tax planning, or staying ahead of your obligations — we’ve got you covered.

Important Update for Businesses!

Although the Treasury Department has suspended the enforcement of fines for businesses that fail to comply with the Corporate Transparency Act, registration is still required.

⚠️ BEWARE of SCAMS! There are many companies out there charging unnecessary filling fees for you to do the registration yourself. The registration process is FREE through official government portals, and there is no need to pay any fees if you are registering your company yourself.

Make sure you're getting accurate information directly from reliable sources like the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

Stay informed, protect your business, and avoid getting caught in a scam!

Not everyone that "does taxes" is qualified to do so!

Why You Need a Qualified Tax Professional – More Than Just a Bigger Refund

When it comes to taxes, we all want the same thing: a bigger refund or to avoid paying taxes altogether. But it's crucial to remember that a larger refund or the desire to avoid taxes isn't always the best outcome if it's not done correctly. Sure, anyone can promise you a larger refund, but the real question is: How will that impact you in the long run?

Your tax professional's focus should be on more than just maximizing your refund. It’s about making sure the process is done properly and ensuring that you don’t end up with a nasty surprise later on. Getting you a refund is great, but keeping it without facing any future IRS penalties or liabilities is the most important goal.

Sometimes, shortcuts or improper filings may lead to a larger refund or the illusion of not paying taxes, but this can result in complications down the road, such as owing the IRS money plus penalties, which can be a huge burden. A qualified tax professional ensures everything is done correctly from the start, so you're not left dealing with unexpected consequences.

If you're dissatisfied with your current outcome this year, your tax professional can help you understand your situation and guide you through the next tax year. We’ll make sure you're not just getting a refund or avoiding taxes, but also keeping it, and staying compliant with the IRS.

Your taxes should work for you, not against you. Make sure you’re set up for success, both now and in the future.

Taxable Hobbies vs. Non-Taxable Hobbies: What's the Difference?

Did you know not all hobbies are treated the same when it comes to taxes? Here’s a breakdown of the difference:

🧩 Taxable Hobbies:
If your hobby involves earning income—whether through sales, services, or other activities—you may need to report it to the IRS. These are hobbies where you generate revenue, and the IRS may classify them as a "business." If your hobby consistently makes a profit or has the potential for business activity, you’ll likely need to pay taxes on the earnings, even if it's a side gig!

🎨 Non-Taxable Hobbies:
On the other hand, hobbies that don’t generate income (or where any earnings are minimal and personal) are generally not taxed. Examples include gardening for fun, crafting as a passion, or any activity where the financial aspect is secondary to enjoyment.

🔑 Key Difference:
If your hobby earns you money, especially with the intention of making a profit, you’ll need to report it. If it's just a fun, personal pursuit without any major financial gain, it’s likely non-taxable.
