Do your employees pay out of pocket for business travel, meals or supplies? With a properly structured “accountable plan,” reimbursements are tax-free to employees and deductible for your business. (Remember, meals are generally only 50% deductible.) Without an accountable plan, reimbursements count as taxable wages and trigger income taxes for the employee and payroll taxes for both the employee and your business. Contact us at (347) 804-8080 to help ensure your reimbursement practices comply with the tax rules and minimize unintended tax consequences.

Did you know you can amend your tax return if you need to revise information after you filed it? Amended returns let taxpayers fix errors or omissions — such as income, deductions, credits or filing status — and make certain late elections. They can also be used to address tax law changes, claim losses and credit carrybacks, and more. You can e-file up to three amended returns per tax year. Usually, you have up to three years from the original filing deadline or two years from when you paid the tax, whichever is later, to claim a refund. But the rules can be complex. Contact us at (347) 804-8080 for guidance.

When you’re busy running a business, it’s easy to overlook or dismiss the warning signs of financial distress. Rising employee turnover can signal internal strain. Cash flow issues may indicate slow collections or weak working capital practices. And sudden external shifts — such as interest rate volatility, cost increases or supply chain disruptions — can take a toll on otherwise healthy businesses. Supplementing your company’s year-end financial statements with interim reports or targeted agreed-upon procedures can help you spot problems early and take prompt corrective action. Contact us at (347) 804-8080 to learn more.

Two federal tax breaks can help offset the cost of accessibility improvements. In 2026, qualifying small businesses (with $1 million or less in gross receipts or no more than 30 full-time employees in 2025) may claim the Disabled Access Credit. It’s generally worth 50% of eligible accessibility costs (up to a $5,000 maximum). Businesses of any size may also deduct up to $15,000 per year for qualified architectural and transportation barrier removal. You can claim both benefits in the same year, but not for the same expense. New construction isn’t eligible for either break. If you’re planning upgrades, call us at (347) 804-8080 to help you make the most of these incentives.

F**A taxes on W-2 wages are split equally between employee and employer. For self-employment income, you pay both halves, but the “employer” half is deductible. If you own and work in a business structured as a partnership, the income passing through to you for income tax purposes generally is also subject to self-employment taxes, even if it isn’t distributed to you. If your income exceeds certain levels, you also could be subject to the 0.9% additional Medicare tax. Call us at (347) 804-8080 to review your situation.

You’ll receive a CP24 notice if the IRS reviews your tax return and determines you’re due a refund that differs from what you originally claimed. This often happens because the IRS corrected a math error, applied a payment or credit differently, or offset a refund to pay another tax liability. The notice explains what changed and how the refund was calculated. Generally, no response is required if you agree with the adjustment; your adjusted refund will be issued automatically. But if you disagree or don’t understand the change, it’s important to review the notice carefully and respond by the deadline. We can help you determine whether the IRS adjustment is correct and advise on next steps. Call us at (347) 804-8080.

Does your business use independent contractors? The reporting requirements for these workers differ from those for W-2 employees. For payments made in 2026, businesses generally must issue Form 1099-NEC, “Nonemployee Compensation,” to contractors paid $2,000 or more (up from $600 for 2025). The higher threshold may reduce your administrative burden because you could have fewer forms to file with the IRS. However, it doesn’t change your recordkeeping, worker classification or backup withholding responsibilities. Contact us at (347) 804-8080 to help ensure you’re prepared for the updated reporting requirements.

Imagine if a fraud perpetrator wiped out your 401(k) account balance overnight. Would you still be able to retire? Millions of dollars in U.S. retirement plans have been stolen thanks to hackers, identity thieves and social engineers, such as scammers using phishing emails to obtain financial and other personal information. But you can protect your hard-earned savings! Call us (347) 804-8080 for retirement planning help.

The IRS has launched a new “Report Fraud” webpage to simplify confidential reporting of suspected tax fraud or scams. It consolidates multiple IRS fraud-reporting options into a single location, allowing taxpayers to report suspected scams, tax evasion or other tax-related misconduct in one place. This is the initial phase; the IRS plans to further streamline fraud reporting by reducing the number of forms, automating processes and adopting modern case‑management tools. We’re here if you have questions. Call us at (347) 804-8080.

Can business debt become personal? In some cases, yes. If you’re a sole proprietor or a general partner in a partnership, you’re personally liable for business debts. Owners of corporations and limited liability companies are generally protected from personal liability, unless they personally guarantee a loan, commit fraud or fail to keep business and personal finances separate. Payroll taxes are different. The IRS can assess the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty to hold owners, officers or other responsible individuals personally liable for unpaid withheld payroll taxes, regardless of the business structure. This applies even if the business declares bankruptcy. Call us at (347) 804-8080 with questions.

Many businesses today outsource one or more of their IT functions to save money. Yet if you don’t manage the risks involved, you could end up spending more and getting less in return. For example, slow support times or services that don’t match your objectives or employees’ needs can undermine productivity. Contact us at (347) 804-8080 for help evaluating a prospective IT outsourcing arrangement or assessing the ROI of an existing one.
