One of the biggest challenges when buying a home is coming up with the down payment. But a traditional IRA can help. First-time homebuyers can usually withdraw up to $10,000 from their IRAs penalty-free. (Normally, withdrawals before age 59 1/2 are subject to a 10% penalty.) But there are several rules you must follow to qualify, as well as downsides to consider. And the timing of your withdrawal will be critical. Contact us at (800) 839-5767 for more information.

Business owners: 100% bonus depreciation is back. It had been scheduled to drop to 40% for 2025 and 20% for 2026 and to disappear for 2027. Also, the Sec. 179 expensing limit has doubled for 2025 and is indexed for inflation going forward. Eligible assets for both breaks generally include machinery, equipment, computers, furniture and certain qualified improvements to nonresidential real estate. These tax law changes could make a meaningful difference on your 2025 return and in your 2026 planning. Contact us at (800) 839-5767 to learn more.

Not everyone is eligible to make tax-deductible contributions to a traditional IRA. For example, for 2026, deduction eligibility for single taxpayers who also contribute to a workplace retirement plan, such as a 401(k) plan, phases out with income between $81,000 and $91,000. For joint filers, the phaseout range for a spouse who contributes to a work-based plan is $129,000 to $149,000. For a spouse who doesn’t contribute to a work-based plan, the phaseout range is $242,000 to $252,000. Also for 2026, Roth IRA contribution eligibility phases out as follows: $153,000 to $168,000 for single filers, $242,000 to $252,000 for joint filers, and $0 to $10,000 for married separate filers.

Sponsoring a qualified retirement plan is a tried-and-true way to help attract and retain employees. Among the most popular options is a 401(k). Your business’s contributions are tax deductible, and you may be able to use matching and a vesting schedule to encourage employees to stay with your company. But 401(k)s come in many varieties. Please contact us at (800) 839-5767 for help choosing the right one for your business (or another type of retirement plan).

Businesses involved in some clean energy projects and products are hurt by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. That’s because it accelerates the phaseout of certain tax credits and adds new restrictions to tax breaks related to solar, wind, and hydrogen power and electric vehicle charging stations. The dates that clean energy tax breaks end vary. Some may be available until 2026 or 2027. Contact us at (800) 839-5767 if you have questions about your situation. The date that projects begin construction is critical.

Starting in 2025, the cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions increases from $10,000 ($5,000 for married couples filing separately) to $40,000 ($20,000 for separate filers). If your 2026 property taxes have already been assessed, prepaying them in 2025 could help you maximize your 2025 deduction. But keep in mind that the cap is reduced for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross incomes over $500,000 ($250,000 for separate filers). Let us help you determine how to incorporate the increased SALT deduction limit into your tax planning. Call us at (800) 839-5767.

Engaging independent contractors can be a smart business strategy under the right circumstances. For example, your company might experience a seasonal upswing in workload or require specialized skills for a short period. However, there can be negative tax consequences if you inadvertently mishandle the relationship and the IRS can recharacterize an independent contractor as an employee. Please contact us at (800) 839-5767 for help understanding the tax implications and staying in compliance.

Does your business provide relocation benefits for employees? Under current tax law, employers can deduct payments to employees for relocation costs, such as moving services, storage expenses and transportation. But these amounts are generally taxable to employees, except for active-duty military personnel. That means employers are required to include relocation benefits in the employee’s gross income and withhold and pay applicable payroll taxes on the payments. 2025 legislation made this tax law provision permanent, but it added another exception for “intelligence community members” that starts in 2026. Contact us if you have questions.

Wage garnishment can be tough. It allows creditors to collect a debt by legally withholding a portion of an employee’s paycheck, but it comes with limits and employee protections. Garnishments are often triggered by government debts such as child support, student loans, tax levies, or court judgments. Before withholding can begin, you must be notified of the order to withhold. Some portion of your wages must be exempt per state law. If you’re hit with a garnishment order you believe is incorrect or unfair, you have the right to challenge it. Contact us for help with this matter at (800) 839-5767.
