We help small and medium-sized enterprises and their owners turn dreams into realities and opportunities into tangible results.

Charitable giving can be about more than supporting the causes you care about. It can also be an important part of your tax and financial planning. ❤️

If you’re considering a charitable gift in 2026, keep in mind that contribution deductions may be limited based on your adjusted gross income (AGI), the type of gift and the organization receiving it.

A few things to know:

✔️ Cash contributions to many qualified public charities may generally be deductible up to 60% of AGI.
✔️New for 2026, taxpayers who don’t itemize may be eligible for a deduction of up to $1,000 in qualifying cash contributions, or $2,000 for married couples filing jointly.
✔️For larger gifts, timing and what you choose to donate can make a difference in the potential tax impact.

If charitable giving is part of your year-end plan, now is a good time to start the conversation. Our team can help you evaluate your options and coordinate your giving strategy with your broader financial goals.

💰 One of the best financial advantages teens have? Time.

Helping kids develop smart money habits early can build a foundation that benefits them for years to come. And those lessons don't have to start with complicated financial concepts.

A few ways parents can help make money lessons stick:

💬 Make it relatable. Start with things they're already interested in and use real-world examples to talk about saving, spending and investing.

⏳ Show them the power of time. Even small amounts saved consistently can grow significantly over the years. Helping teens understand compound growth early can make a lasting impression.

📉 Let mistakes become lessons. Not every financial decision will be the right one. Instead of focusing on the mistake, talk about what happened and what they might do differently next time.

🤝 Share your own experiences. Talk openly about financial decisions you've made, including both the good ones and the ones you wish you'd handled differently.

Financial literacy is a lifelong skill, and the earlier those conversations begin, the better prepared young adults can be to make informed decisions about their future.

Have questions about how saving, investing, taxes and long-term financial planning fit into your family's bigger financial picture? Contact our team. We're here to help you plan with confidence.

📢 IRS Update: New Overtime Tax Deduction

The IRS has released updated guidance on the new federal deduction for qualified overtime compensation.

Here are a few key things to know:

💰 Eligible taxpayers may deduct up to $12,500 in qualified overtime compensation, or $25,000 for married couples filing jointly.

📊 The deduction begins to phase out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income above $150,000, or $300,000 for joint filers.

✅ The deduction is available whether you itemize deductions or take the standard deduction.

⚠️ Not all overtime qualifies. Generally, the deduction applies to overtime compensation required under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

The IRS has also provided updated guidance for employees and employers on eligibility, reporting, withholding and other requirements.

As with any new tax provision, the details matter. Contact our firm if you have questions about the new overtime deduction or would like guidance on how it may apply to your individual or business tax situation.

💻 The IRS is making it easier for businesses to access important federal tax information online.

The IRS continues to expand its Business Tax Account, giving eligible business owners and organizations secure, convenient access to more of their federal tax information.

Depending on eligibility and business type, users may be able to:

✅ View balances and recent payments
✅ Make or schedule federal tax payments
✅ Access certain tax transcripts and IRS notices
✅ Verify business information on file with the IRS
✅ Download EIN verification documentation
✅ Review existing payment plan information

While these online tools can make it easier to access information and handle routine tax matters, they don't replace the value of proactive tax planning and professional guidance.

Your CPA can help you understand your tax obligations, respond appropriately to IRS notices, identify planning opportunities and make informed decisions throughout the year.

📌 Have questions about your business taxes, an IRS notice or planning for what's ahead? Our team is here to provide guidance.
