We offer a broad range of services for business owners, executives and independent professionals.

Even if you use a computer software program there's no substitute for the assistance of an experienced tax professional. We can also assist if you find yourself on the wrong side of the IRS. We're here to help you resolve your tax problems and put an end to the misery that the IRS can put you through.

The new tax law introduced deductions for qualified tips and qualified overtime compensation. Specifically, for 2025 through 2028, it creates a deduction of up to $25,000 for tips income in certain industries. It also creates a deduction of up to $12,500 ($25,000 for joint filers) for qualified overtime pay. Because employers and payors may not yet have adequate procedures to comply with the new rules, the IRS has designated 2025 as a transition period and is providing penalty relief. Notice 2025-62 offers relief to employers and payors for not filing correct information returns and not providing correct payee statements to employees and other payees. For more information, call us at (308) 754-4557.

For cash-based businesses, meticulous recordkeeping is essential. Because cash transactions are harder to verify, they increase the risk of underreporting income and attracting IRS scrutiny. The IRS closely monitors such businesses, using tools like cash flow analysis, bank deposit comparisons and lifestyle audits to estimate actual income. If discrepancies arise, the IRS may calculate your income based on estimates, potentially resulting in higher taxes than necessary. Contact us for help with your business at (308) 754-4557.

The Social Security Administration said that Social Security benefits for 2026, including Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI), and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments, will increase 2.8%. These changes reflect cost-of-living adjustments based on inflation. Social Security retirement benefits will increase by about $56 per month on average starting in January. Increased payments to SSI recipients will begin on Dec. 31, 2025. (Note: Some people receive both Social Security benefits and SSI.) The maximum earnings subject to Social Security tax (the so-called “wage base”) will increase $8,400, from $176,100 to $184,500. Have questions about the Social Security tax? Call us at (308) 754-4557.

A revocable trust (sometimes known as a “living trust”) can provide significant benefits. They include the ability to avoid probate for the assets the trust holds and to facilitate the management of your assets in the event you become incapacitated. To obtain these benefits, you must fund the trust by transferring the title of assets to it. Assets not held by your revocable trust may be subject to probate and will be beyond the trustee’s control in the event you become incapacitated. Contact us at (308) 754-4557 with questions about the financial and tax aspects of your estate plan.

Did you receive an IRS audit notice but believe you did nothing wrong? Some audits are random, and some can be resolved by mail. Others are triggered by red flags that may put the IRS spotlight on your tax return. Keeping up with ever-evolving tax laws can be challenging, but one common red flag that may draw attention is a sudden, unexplained spike or drop in your reported income from one year to the next. While legitimate income changes do happen, it’s important to be prepared to justify them. Contact us for help with this matter at (308) 754-4557.

12/01/2025

Your business can claim a tax credit for qualified expenses paid or incurred when providing child care for employees. Beginning in 2026, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act increases the percentage of qualified expenses that can be taken into account for purposes of claiming the employer-provided child care credit. It also increases the maximum credit. Contact us at (308) 754-4557 with questions.

The IRS has issued transitional guidance to auto lenders required to report certain vehicle loan interest for 2025. Under the tax legislation signed into law in July, interest on qualified passenger vehicle loans originated after Dec. 31, 2024, generally is deductible up to $10,000. Lenders must provide eligible taxpayers with the appropriate information to claim the deduction on their 2025 tax returns. According to the guidance, the IRS will consider that lenders have met their reporting obligations for interest received on a qualified vehicle loan in 2025 if they make statements available to buyers indicating the total amount of interest received. To learn more about the new vehicle loan interest deduction, contact us at (308) 754-4557.

Did you celebrate your 73rd birthday in 2025? If you have money in an IRA, 401(k), SEP or SIMPLE plan, you must take your first required minimum distribution (RMD) by Dec. 31 (or, potentially, by April 1, 2026). RMDs are annual withdrawals of specified amounts based on your age and the account’s value at the end of the last tax year. For more information about managing retirement income, contact us at (308) 754-4557.

A sound succession plan is a must for every business owner. But even the best-laid strategies can go awry. In fact, it’s not unusual for changing circumstances to affect the feasibility of a succession plan. We’d be happy to review the strengths and potential weaknesses of yours.

A qualified personal residence trust (QPRT) allows you to give your home to your children today while enjoying the right to live there for a set number of years. The home is removed from your taxable estate at a reduced value for gift tax purposes (provided you survive the trust’s term). At the end of the term, your beneficiaries own the home. You may continue to live there beyond the end of the term if the trustees or owners agree and you pay fair market rent. Contact us at (308) 754-4557 with questions about QPRTs or other estate planning ideas for reducing taxes.
