If you’re thinking about starting a business, make sure you understand your federal tax responsibilities before opening your doors. IRS Publication 583, Starting a Business and Keeping Records, covers the basics. Your business structure (such as a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company or corporation) determines which forms you must file and which taxes apply, including income, self-employment, employment and excise taxes. You may also need an Employer Identification Number for tax purposes, and you should be aware of your recordkeeping requirements. Starting a business is exciting, and getting the tax details right is important. We’re here to help. Call us at (347) 804-8080.

Have you considered an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) for your business? An ESOP is a form of qualified retirement plan. More specifically, it’s a profit-sharing plan that allows employees to own shares of their employer’s company and cash in those shares when they retire or otherwise leave their jobs. Many small to midsize businesses have implemented ESOPs because of their exciting advantages. But ESOPs do present some hurdles to clear. Please contact us at (347) 804-8080 to learn more about whether an ESOP might be right for you.

The IRS is reminding taxpayers of new deductions available this tax season. If you’re 65 or older, you potentially can claim an additional $6,000 deduction. Depending on your occupation, you may be able to deduct up to $25,000 in qualified tips. You may also be able to deduct up to $12,500 in qualified overtime ($25,000 if you’re married and file jointly). If you took out a vehicle loan in 2025, you possibly can deduct up to $10,000 in interest paid. But all these breaks are subject to additional rules, and they phase out when income exceeds applicable limits. If you’re eligible, you can claim these deductions whether you itemize or take the standard deduction. Contact us at (347) 804-8080 with questions.

Good news for small business owners! The 20% qualified business income (QBI) deduction for pass-through business owners is now permanent. (It had been scheduled to expire after 2025.) This break reduces taxable income for eligible sole proprietors, partners, S corp owners and, generally, LLC members. Beginning in 2026, expanded income ranges over which certain limits phase in may allow more taxpayers to qualify for the QBI deduction, and some may enjoy larger deductions. Contact us at (347) 804-8080 to learn how you can benefit.

Gifts that consist of hard-to-value assets, such as interests in a closely held business, can be risky. A defined-value gift may help you avoid unexpected tax liabilities. A defined-value gift is a gift of assets that are valued at a specific dollar amount rather than a certain number of stock shares or a specified percentage of a business entity. Structured properly, a defined-value gift won’t trigger gift taxes down the road. The key to this strategy is that the defined-value language in the transfer document is drafted as a “formula” clause rather than an invalid “savings” clause. Call us at (347) 804-8080 to learn more.

It’s common for small businesses to work with friends, relatives and affiliated companies. After all, they can be loyal workers and trustworthy business partners. But if related-party transactions aren’t handled properly, they can distort financial results, affect loan eligibility and even trigger IRS scrutiny. We can help you identify and record these transactions at market terms. Proper documentation supports compliance and provides clearer insight into how these arrangements affect cash flow and profitability. Contact us at (347) 804-8080 to keep your books accurate and transparent.

Do you have an IRS Individual Online Account? If not, the IRS is encouraging you to create one. Taxpayers with an account can securely access their tax information online. Specifically, you can view your balance, make payments, set up payment plans, access tax records and review prior notices without waiting on hold or mailing forms. Plus, the account can help protect you from identity theft and fraud. Having an account can also help reduce errors and surprises by allowing you to monitor activity in real time and respond quickly if issues arise. See something in your account that concerns you? Call us at (347) 804-8080 to discuss it.

When you file your 2025 income tax return, you can deduct your charitable donations only if you itemize deductions. But beginning with donations made in 2026, people who take the standard deduction instead of itemizing can claim a charitable deduction of up to $1,000 ($2,000 for married couples filing jointly). Only “cash” donations qualify, but the definition may be broader than you think. It includes gifts made by debit or credit card, check, ACH, online payment platform and payroll deduction. Call us at (347) 804-8080 to discuss what you can deduct on your 2025 return and your donation strategy for 2026.

To make confident business decisions, you need a clear view of your cash position. The statement of cash flows reveals how money moves in and out of your business. It’s usually organized into three sections: 1) Cash flows from operations reflect day-to-day activity. 2) Cash flows from financing activities show how you use debt and equity to fund growth. 3) Cash flows from investing activities capture how you’re building for the future. Together, they tell the real story behind your numbers. We can help you interpret trends, spot risks and manage cash flow to strengthen your business strategy. Call us at (347) 804-8080 to learn more.

For 2026, you generally can contribute up to $7,500 pretax to an employer-sponsored child and dependent care Flexible Spending Account (FSA). This $2,500 increase over the 2025 limit was part of the major tax legislation that was signed into law in 2025. An FSA pays or reimburses you for qualified child or dependent care expenses. (Your contributions will, however, reduce your qualified expenses for purposes of the child and dependent care tax credit.) Contact us at (347) 804-8080 to learn more about tax breaks for families.
