02/23/2026

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 (479) 361-2201 to learn how you can benefit.

Your marital status affects many federal tax filing variables, including your standard deduction, credit eligibility and tax owed. If you’re currently “informally” separated from your spouse but still legally married, the IRS generally considers you married for the entire year (even if you’ve lived apart for many months). Unless you divorced or legally separated by Dec. 31, 2025, you must file as married filing jointly or married filing separately for the 2025 tax year. If, on the other hand, you finalized a divorce or legal separation in 2025, you should file as single or, if eligible, head of household. Call us at (479) 361-2201 if you have questions about filing your tax return.

Drip, drip, drip. That may be the sound of your business’s retirement savings plan “leakage.” Leakage refers to pre-retirement withdrawals made by plan participants (your employees). When a plan’s total assets and individual account sizes shrink, it tends to hurt administrative efficiency and raise costs. It could also indicate that your workers are experiencing financial difficulties, which can reduce productivity. Contact us at (479) 361-2201 to discuss possible solutions.

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 (479) 361-2201 for more information.

The IRS and the Security Summit are warning taxpayers that during tax filing season identity thieves are poised to scam people into sharing personal information to file false tax returns and steal refunds. Specific threats include phishing emails and smishing texts, where the thief impersonates a legitimate organization in the tax community, such as the IRS, a state agency or a tax software company, to try to convince the target to provide personal information, click on harmful links or send money. Having an Identity Protection (IP) PIN can protect taxpayers from tax-related identity theft. Anyone with an SSN or an ITIN can get an IP PIN. For more information, contact us at (479) 361-2201.

You may have heard you need at least $1 million (or $750,000 or $3 million or another number) saved before you retire. The truth is, “your number” is specific to you. How much you need for a secure and fulfilling post-work life depends on factors such as your current income, your desired retirement lifestyle and whether you hope to leave a legacy to heirs. Contact us (479) 361-2201. We’ll review your situation together and come up with a retirement savings plan — including a number.

For small business owners, investing in new equipment, expanding facilities or launching a new product can be a big decision. With limited funds, it’s essential to pinpoint the opportunities that deliver the most value. Financial models like accounting payback, net present value and internal rate of return offer a disciplined, data-driven approach to evaluating your options. We can help you apply these models to make confident, informed capital-budgeting decisions that fuel long-term success. Call us at (479) 361-2201 to get started.

Filing your income tax return early can help protect you from tax refund fraud, a scam in which thieves file bogus returns using victims’ Social Security numbers. It can cause big headaches and delay legitimate refunds. But if you file first, it will be the return filed by a potential thief that will be rejected, not yours. Call us at (479) 361-2201 to get your return preparation started.

When natural disasters strike, tax deadlines shouldn’t add to your stress. Generally, taxpayers have had three years from the April filing deadline for the tax year to claim a credit or refund for overpaid taxes. But when the IRS extended filing deadlines for disasters such as wildfires, floods or hurricanes, the three-year period didn’t always adjust accordingly. The Disaster Related Extension of Deadlines Act, signed into law on Dec. 26, 2025, addresses this issue. Now, when the IRS extends filing deadlines due to federally declared disasters, the period to claim refunds and credits is also extended. The new law also aligns payment deadlines with filing relief. Call us (479) 361-2201 at with questions.

Grantor-retained annuity trusts (GRATs) and grantor-retained unitrusts (GRUTs) allow you to give assets to your children today while you receive payments back from the trust for a specified term. And, provided you survive the trust’s term, you’ll remove the assets from your taxable estate at a reduced value for gift tax purposes. At the end of the term, the principal may pass to the beneficiaries or remain in the trust. Contact us at (479) 361-2201 for additional details.

02/03/2026

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 (479) 361-2201 to learn more about tax breaks for families.
