Tax myths can spread quickly, leading to costly mistakes or missed opportunities. Here are several common tax myths along with best practices to help you stay grounded in reality.
Myth: Moving into a higher tax bracket means you’ll take home less money
Reality: The U.S. tax system is progressive, meaning your income is taxed in layers. There are currently 7 different layers, with tax rates ranging from 10% to 37%. When you enter a higher tax bracket, only the portion of income above the bracket threshold gets taxed at the higher rate, not your entire income.
Best Practice: Know your marginal tax rate! This is the tax rate of the next dollar you earn. By understanding this you can do your own calculations on the impact of any additional income you earn.
Myth: Getting a tax refund means you did something right.
Reality: A tax refund means you overpaid your taxes. It’s your money, coming back to you – without interest. Getting a big refund might feel great, but from a cash flow perspective, you’re better off adjusting your withholding so you keep more of your paycheck each month.
Best Practice: Review last year’s tax return, then update the numbers to reflect your situation for the current year. Factor in the latest changes such as tax-free tips, tax-free overtime, and increased standard deductions, including the new $6,000 deduction for seniors. Once you’ve made these adjustments, revisit your paycheck withholdings to make sure they’re on track.
Myth: You can deduct all your expenses if you’re self-employed.
Reality: Not quite. While being self-employed certainly opens up more deduction opportunities, not every expense qualifies. Only ordinary and necessary business expenses can be deducted. That family trip overseas doesn’t qualify unless it was genuinely work-related (and even then, only parts of it might qualify).
Best Practice: Set up a dedicated business bank account to handle all income and expenses related to your work. Then establish a regular schedule to transfer funds into your personal account for all non-business spending. And don’t commingle funds with your personal expenses. The IRS may be quick to throw out ALL expenses if they see this occurring.
Myth: You don’t have to report income if you didn’t receive a Form 1099.
Reality: If you earn money, the IRS expects to hear about it, regardless of whether you received a Form 1099. Many people assume that if a client or gig platform doesn’t send you a 1099, then that income doesn’t need to be reported on your tax return. But that’s not how it works. The tax code requires you to report all income, no matter how it’s documented – or if it’s not documented at all.
Best Practice: Keep a list of past 1099s to help you remember which clients or platforms have paid you before, and to double-check if you earned income from them again this year.
Please call if you have any questions about your tax situation.
As you get older, so do your parents and grandparents. And at some point, the need for support and transition becomes unavoidable. If you’re lucky, the shift happens gradually. But without planning, it can arrive suddenly and feel overwhelming. Here are some suggestions to make the transition smoother for everyone involved.
Parents (or grandparents!) – Proactively plan
Talking to your children or grandchildren about money, health, and living arrangements are not normally addressed. Your goal is to be prepared should you be faced with an emergency. This way you can avoid making key decisions in emergencies, such as in the ER, after a fall, or under emotional strain.
What you can do:
Make it legal. If you have not already done so, set up a will, power of attorney, and healthcare directive. Most states have a preferred legal format that is often accompanied with a list of questions. Walk through this document with your children, and while it may seem awkward, remember they may need to be the one carrying out your wishes. Without these, your children may face expensive and drawn-out legal battles just to act on your behalf.
Share your financial picture. Start small. It may be as simple as providing a place to get a list of your accounts and passwords if needed. Your children don’t need every detail, but they need enough to understand resources, debts, and insurance coverage.
Clarify wishes for care. Do you want to age in place? Would you consider assisted living? Who do you trust to make medical decisions if you can’t? What funeral arrangements make sense?
Children – Initiate conversations sooner rather than later
This isn’t about taking control from your parents, but rather it’s about being ready to help when it’s needed. Ideally your parents are having these conversations with you periodically, but if not you may find that you need to step into this void.
How you can help:
Learn their wishes now. Ask where they’d like to live if living alone becomes unsafe, and what kind of care they would like. Or explore a plan to stay in their house, if that’s their wish. Who knows, they may already have a robust plan in place, but then you’ll know!
Understand available resources. Know which bank accounts, insurance policies, and retirement funds exist, and where to find documents. Also get a general feel if there are adequate funds in place to navigate the next phase of life.
Build your own plan. Prepare financially and emotionally for the possibility that you may need to help cover costs or coordinate care.
Become a resource. Pay attention to changes in laws, then relay this information to your parents. An example is the extra $6,000 senior deduction passed into law in July. By staying alert, you can ensure your parents are taking full advantage of the opportunities made available to them.
Know the tax tools available
Money is often the biggest stress point in transitioning to new living arrangements or higher levels of care. But many families overlook the tax credits, deductions, and programs that can ease the financial burden. Here are some key areas to explore:
Medical Expense Deductions. If medical and long-term care expenses exceed 7.5% of your income, they may be deductible, including in-home care, assisted living (if medically necessary), and medical equipment.
Dependent Care Credit. You may qualify for this credit if you pay for the care for a dependent parent while working.
Claiming a Parent as a Dependent. If you provide more than half of your parent’s support, you might be able to claim them as a dependent, which can further reduce your taxable income.
State-Specific Credits. Some states offer tax breaks for care giving or senior housing. Check your state’s tax agency for details.
Health Savings Accounts. These accounts can be used tax-free for qualifying medical expenses for your parents if they’re considered dependents, even if they’re not on your insurance.
Get started today
The problem isn’t that children and parents don’t care about transition planning…it’s that they think there’s plenty of time to do it. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Here’s how you can start taking action today:
Schedule a first meeting. Don’t wait for the right moment. Put it on the calendar.
Break it into small pieces. Talk about housing one week, finances the next. Avoid trying to solve everything at once.
Document agreements. Even informal notes can be a lifesaver later.
Review regularly. Life changes. So should the plan.
If handled properly, these planning discussions build a level of trust and create a level of partnership. The sooner you start talking and planning, the more control you’ll have over choices, costs, and comfort.
As a freelancer or contractor, at some point you may wish to incorporate and be taxed as an S corporation. Here’s a closer look at the process of becoming an S corporation and when switching might make sense for you.
The main benefits of S corporations
Self-employment tax savings. As a sole proprietor, you’re required to pay a 15.3% self-employment tax (which includes Social Security and Medicare) on your entire income. However, with an S corporation, you can split your income into two parts: a reasonable salary (which is subject to Social Security and Medicare taxes) and distributions (which are subject to income taxes but not Social Security and Medicare taxes).
Pass-through taxation. Similar to sole proprietorships, S corporations are considered pass-through entities. This means that the business itself doesn’t pay income taxes. Instead, profits and losses pass through the business to the owner’s personal tax return. Profits of a C corporation, on the other hand, are taxed twice – once at the entity level, and again on the owner’s tax return.
Legal protection. If there is a risk of possible legal action, an S corporation can potentially help protect your personal assets from your business assets. For example, this can be especially helpful if you are in the contractor trade and the customer makes a claim against the fulfillment of your contract.
While transitioning from a sole proprietor to an S corporation can certainly result in significant tax savings, there are a few trade-offs to consider.
Trade-offs to consider
Most of the trade-offs are centered around administrative requirements and potential costs. These include:
Running payroll. Even if you’re the only employee, you’ll need to set up payroll and withhold taxes. Many business owners use a payroll service to handle this.
Separate tax filing. Your business will now need to file a Form 1120-S tax return with a March 15th due date in addition to your personal tax return.
Accountants or bookkeepers are typically used. Most S corporation owners work with professionals to handle bookkeeping and tax filings.
Reasonable salary requirement. The IRS expects owners to pay themselves a fair market wage. Underpaying yourself to avoid taxes can lead to penalties.
State-level requirements. Some states have minimum franchise taxes or annual fees for corporations and LLCs, regardless of income.
When it makes sense to switch
Switching to an S corp generally becomes worth considering when your net income (after expenses) is in the range of $75,000 to $100,000 or more per year.
Here’s an example: Assume you earn $120,000 in net income as a consultant.
As a sole proprietor, you’d pay self-employment tax on the full amount, about $18,000.
As an S corp, if you pay yourself a reasonable salary of $60,000, you’d only pay payroll taxes on that amount, roughly $9,200. The remaining $60,000 in profit would be subject to income taxes but not payroll taxes.
That’s a potential tax savings of nearly $9,000 per year.
Switching from a sole proprietor to S corp can offer real tax advantages, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s usually best practice to review your situation once per year to ensure your business is organized properly.
Getting a bill for an unexpected expense can put a dent in your business’s cash flow. Here are some tips your business can use to handle these unforeseen bumps in the road.
Stick to a reconciliation schedule. Know how much cash you have in your bank account at any given time. This is done by sticking to a consistent bank reconciliation schedule. Conventional wisdom suggests reconciling your bank account with bills paid and revenue received once a month, but you now have the ability to reconcile your cash every day. Perpetual reconciliation is easier to do if your business has fewer transactions. It may seem a bit much, but with the correct team in place, you will be prepared for surprises as they happen.
Create a 12-month rolling forecast. This exercise projects cash out twelve months. Each new month you drop the prior month and add another month one year out. This type of a forecast will reflect the ebbs and flows of cash throughout the year and identify times that you’ll need more cash, so when a surprise bill shows up, you know exactly how it will impact your ability to pay it. If you have lean months, you may wish to explore creating a line of credit with your bank to be prepared for any surprises.
Build an emergency fund. Getting surprised with an unexpected business expense isn’t a matter of if it will happen, but when. Consider setting money aside each month into an emergency fund to be used only in case of a significant expense. A longer term goal could be to save enough money to cover 3 to 6 months of operating expenses.
Partner with a business advisor. Even small businesses sometimes need help keeping their cash flow in line and avoiding unexpected expenses. Please call if you have any questions about organizing your business’s cash flow and preparing for surprises.
Couples consistently report finances as the leading cause of stress in their relationship. Here are a few tips to avoid conflict with your long-term partner or spouse.
Be transparent. Be honest with each other about your financial status. As you enter a committed relationship, each partner should learn about the status of the other person’s debts, income and assets. Any surprises down the road may feel like dishonesty and lead to conflict.
Frequently discuss future plans. The closer you are with your partner, the more you’ll want to know about the other person’s future plans. Kids, planned career changes, travel, hobbies, retirement expectations — all of these will depend upon money and shared resources. So discuss these plans and create the financial roadmap to go with them. Remember that even people in a long-term marriage may be caught unaware if they fail to keep up communication and find out their spouse’s priorities have changed over time.
Know your comfort levels. As you discuss your future plans, bring up hypotheticals: How much debt is too much? What level of spending versus savings is acceptable? How much would you spend on a car, home or vacation? You may be surprised to learn that your assumptions about these things fall outside your partner’s comfort zone.
Divide responsibilities, combine forces. Try to divide financial tasks such as paying certain bills, updating a budget, contributing to savings and making appointments with tax and financial advisors. Then periodically trade responsibilities over time. Even if one person tends to be better at numbers, it’s best to have both members participating. By having a hand in budgeting, planning and spending decisions, you will be constantly reminded how what you are doing financially contributes to the strength of your relationship.
Learn to love compromising. No two people have the same priorities or personalities, so differences of opinion are going to happen. One person is going to want to spend, while the other wants to save. Vacation may be on your spouse’s mind, while you want to put money aside for a new car. By acknowledging that these differences of opinion will happen, you’ll be less frustrated when they do. Treat any problems as opportunities to negotiate and compromise.
You put your phone down. Close your laptop. Step away from the smart speaker. You think you’ve hit pause, that the lights go out and the gadgets sleep. But no. The show goes on.
Welcome to the quieter side of your electronics — a collection of clicks, pings, hums, and whirs that continue after hours. While you relax with a beverage or watch late night TV, your devices remain active. They’re handling updates, syncing with cloud servers, and communicating behind the scenes. Let’s take a closer look at what goes on beneath the surface.
The Night Shift: What Sleep Mode Really Means
You’d think sleep is synonymous with off. It’s not. Your smart TV is still listening for the wake word. Your phone is syncing email, checking location, indexing photos you forgot you took. Your gaming console? It’s auto-downloading 16GB of updates you didn’t ask for.
Manufacturers sell it as convenience: devices ready the moment you are. But it’s also about control. They want your gadgets running maintenance tasks, pushing new features, collecting diagnostics, and, truth be told, learning more about you.
The Data Harvest Festival
When your devices aren’t busy serving you, they’re studying you. That weather app? It doesn’t just check the forecast. It might also ping your GPS at midnight to keep its location data fresh — info that could end up in marketing databases or shared with partners whose names you’ll never know. Smart fridges monitor how often the door opens. Toothbrushes log your brushing patterns.
And all this happens in the background. You don’t see it or hear it, but the servers are always online.
Phantom Firmware Updates
If your device gets smarter while you sleep, who’s really in control?
Firmware updates are quiet instructions sent from tech companies to your devices—subtle but significant. They often arrive unannounced, and it’s not always clear what’s been altered.
In many ways, silent updates resemble unexpected home repairs. Sometimes they’re useful. Sometimes they introduce new issues. But they serve as a gentle reminder: the technology we think we own often runs on terms set elsewhere.
How to Tame Your Gadgets
You don’t need to ditch your devices or declare war on the cloud. But being mindful goes a long way:
Start small. Unplug gadgets you’re not using—chargers, old streaming boxes, anything with an ever-glowing LED. They draw power and stay quietly active when they don’t need to.
Smart plugs can help. Set schedules to fully power down devices overnight, rather than letting them idle in standby mode.
Take a closer look at app permissions. Not every app needs constant location access or background updates. It’s okay to be selective.
Be deliberate with updates. Turn off automatic installs if you can, and choose when and what to update. It gives you more control over what’s changing.
And remember, not everything needs to be smart. Sometimes, a simple, offline tool—a French press coffee maker, a light switch—does the job just fine, without phoning home.
Credit cards may offer convenience and opportunities to build credit, but they also come with terms and conditions that aren’t always advertised. Here are several credit card secrets that banks may not tell you about.
Minimum payments are a trap. Banks design minimum payments to look appealing (typically 2% to 3% of your balance). But paying only the minimum allows interest to grow on your remaining balance, which can result in you paying two or three times (or more!) of the original purchase price over time. If possible, pay your credit card balance in full each month.
Interest rates are negotiable. If you’ve been a reliable customer and consistently make payment on time, there’s a good chance your bank might lower your annual percentage rate if you ask. Simply call the customer service number on the back of your card and ask if you can lower your rate. Banks prefer to keep loyal customers rather than risk losing them to competitors.
The high cost of rewards programs. Banks design these programs to encourage spending, which increases the likelihood that cardholders will carry a balance and pay interest. Some rewards cards also have high annual fees that can erode the value of the rewards you earn. To truly benefit from rewards programs, only use your card for planned purchases and pay off the balance in full each month.
Late fees are avoidable. Many credit card issuers offer a grace period for late payments. If you miss your payment due date, call your bank immediately and explain the situation. This can often result in the bank waiving its late fee, especially if it’s your first offense. Banks don’t widely advertise this because they profit significantly from late fees.
Introductory offers have strings attached. Offers like 0% interest or bonus rewards often come with terms and conditions that are easy to overlook. For example, some rewards programs require you to spend a certain amount within the first three months to qualify for the bonus. If you don’t read the fine print, you might miss out on the offer or end up spending more than you intended. Always understand the requirements before applying for a new card.
Banks monitor your spending habits. Banks track your spending patterns and use this data to their advantage. For example, if you consistently pay off your balance in full, you might not be as profitable to them, which could result in fewer promotional offers. On the other hand, customers who carry balances and pay interest may receive more marketing for additional financial products. Being mindful of your spending habits can help you avoid falling into costly traps that are pushed by banks.
Credit cards can be a valuable financial tool, but only if you understand how they work and how to avoid the hidden pitfalls. By paying off your balance in full, negotiating fees and rates, and leveraging rewards strategically, you can take control of your credit card rather than letting it control you.
Our tax code contains plenty of opportunities to cut your taxes. There are also plenty of places in the tax code that could create a surprising tax bill. Here are some of the more common traps.
Home office tax surprise. If you deduct home office expenses on your tax return, you could end up with a tax bill when you sell your home in the future. When you sell a home you’ve been living in for at least 2 of the past 5 years, you may qualify to exclude from your taxable income up to $250,000 of profit from the sale of your home if you’re single or $500,000 if you’re married. But if you have a home office, you may be required to pay taxes on a proportionate share of the gain.
For example, let’s say you have a 100-square-foot home office located in a garage, cottage or guest house that’s on your property. Your main house is 2,000 square feet, making the size of your office 5% of your house’s overall area. When you sell your home, you may have to pay taxes on 5% of the gain. (TIP: If you move your office out of the detached structure and into your home the year you sell your home, you may not have to pay taxes on the gain associated with the home office.)
Even worse, if you claim depreciation on your home office, this could add even more to your tax surprise. This depreciation surprise could happen to either a home office located in a separate structure on your property or in a home office located within your primary home. This added tax hit courtesy of depreciation surprises many unwary users of home offices.
Kids getting older tax surprise. Your children are a wonderful tax deduction if they meet certain qualifications. But as they get older, many child-related deductions fall off and create an unexpected tax bill. And it does not happen all at once.
As an example, one of the largest tax deductions your children can provide you is via the child tax credit. If they are under age 17 on December 31st and meet several other qualifications, you could get up to $2,000 for that child on the following year’s tax return. But you’ll lose this deduction the year they turn 17. If their 17th birthday occurs in 2025, you can’t claim them for the child tax credit when you file your 2025 tax return in 2026, resulting in $2,000 more in taxes you’ll need to pay.
Limited losses tax surprise. If you sell stock, cryptocurrency or any other asset at a loss of $5,000, for example, you can match this up with another asset you sell at a $5,000 gain and – presto! You won’t have to pay taxes on that $5,000 gain because the $5,000 loss cancels it out. But what if you don’t have another asset that you sold at a gain? In this example, the most you can deduct on your tax return is $3,000 (the remaining loss can be carried forward to subsequent years).
Herein lies the tax trap. If you have more than $3,000 in losses from selling assets, and you don’t have a corresponding amount of gains from selling assets, you’re limited to the $3,000 loss.
So if you have a big loss from selling an asset in 2025, and no large gains from selling other assets to use as an offset, you can only deduct $3,000 of your loss on your 2025 tax return.
Planning next year’s tax obligation tax surprise. It’s always smart to start your tax planning for next year by looking at your prior year tax return. But you should then take into consideration any changes that have occurred in the current year. Solely relying on last year’s tax return to plan next year’s tax obligation could lead to a tax surprise.
Please call to schedule a tax planning session so you can be prepared to navigate around any potential tax surprises you may encounter on your 2025 tax return.
Your bookkeeping system is the financial heart and lifeblood of your business. When set up and operating properly, your books help you make smart decisions and seamlessly turn your financial data into useful information. Here are four key characteristics to building and maintaining a healthy bookkeeping system:
Select the proper accounting method. There are two different methods for recording transactions: cash-basis and accrual-basis. In general, the cash-basis method records a transaction when a payment is made, while the accrual-basis method books the transaction upon delivery of the good or service. Cash-basis is easier to track and a useful option for smaller businesses and sole-proprietors. Larger businesses who buy from vendors on account (accounts payable) generally use accrual-basis accounting.
Selecting the proper method affects any related financial transactions and how your financial statements are displayed. A correct approach will also include consideration of outside factors, including IRS rules (businesses with more than $25 million in gross receipts must use accrual-basis), bank covenants, and industry standards. Once a choice is made, it can be changed but it must be properly reported to the IRS.
Create an account structure that fits the company. Every business has a chart of accounts included in their bookkeeping system. These accounts sort the business’s transaction data into six meaningful groups. They are assets, liabilities, equity, income, cost of goods sold and other expenses. Each group will often have numerous accounts and sub-accounts associated with them.
Having the right mix of accounts, created and grouped in an organized fashion, will help you properly classify transactions and prepare usable financial statements. The proper account structure for your company will mesh with your specific information needs.
Enter accurate and timely transactions. The value your data provides is dependent on each transaction being recorded correctly and on time. Entering transactions in the wrong account can cause major issues down the road. Financial reporting that is delayed can hide problems that need immediate attention. Some transactions are relatively straightforward, and some are more complex (like payroll, accruals and deferrals).
It’s important to have someone who understands both your business and the accounting rules to enter your transactions in a timely fashion. In addition, a good month-end close process that involves reviewing each account will help you identify and fix mistakes from the initial entries.
Establish financial statements for decision-making. The main financial statements are the income statement (income – expenses = gross profit), the balance sheet (assets – liabilities = equity) and statement of cash flow. Each statement has a specific purpose:
Income statement. The income statement shows company performance for a select period of time, typically monthly with a full-year summary. At the end of each year the income statement restarts.
Balance sheet. The balance sheet displays a company’s overall health on a specific date. It is perpetual. This means it doesn’t end until the business is closed or sold. It includes one line that summarizes the current year and prior year results from the income statement.
Statement of cash flow. This statement summarizes the inflows and outflows of cash. It ensures you know whether you have enough cash and the pattern of your cash position over time.
If properly executed, your bookkeeping system will create accurate financial statements that can be used to make key financial decisions. Feel free to call with any questions or to discuss bookkeeping solutions for your business.
Ever catch yourself mid-call with the doctor or your internet provider, only to hang up and find your notepad full of squiggles, stars, and mystery objects? No, you weren’t just zoning out…you were doodling!
You may have dismissed these spontaneous little sketches your hand makes while your brain is deep in thought, but your doodles often have a surprising secret life. Here are three unexpected perks of letting your writing tool of choice wander around.
Boosting your memory. Doodling isn’t just a mindless habit – it’s a memory booster in disguise. Think back to your days as a student, frantically jotting down notes during class. Sure, those scribbles helped you study late into the night, but part of the magic was in the act itself – writing things down can help wire them into your brain. Doodling works the same way. It transforms what you’re hearing into visual cues, helping your mind remember the important stuff. It’s like your pen is quietly highlighting things your brain wants to remember.
Sharpening your focus. Doodling might be your secret weapon for staying on task. In a Harvard Medical School study led by psychologist Jackie Andrade, 40 people listened to a dull 2.5-minute voicemail (riveting stuff!), and guess what? The ones who doodled remembered nearly 30% more than those who didn’t. Why? One theory: doodling keeps just enough of your brain busy to stop it from drifting off into daydream land, so the rest of your mind can stay tuned in. It’s like mental noise-canceling – with a pen.
Relieving your stress. Doodling is like a mental exhale. Unlike drawing something specific, there’s no plan, no pressure with doodling — just your pen or pencil doing its thing. That’s the beauty of it. When your brain’s juggling a dozen to-dos and overthinking every little detail, doodling gives it a moment to wander. No rules, no goals, just shapes and squiggles that let your mind breathe. It’s a quiet reset. And in the middle of a hectic day, that tiny act of letting go can feel like a full-blown stress detox.
With so many things grasping for our attention, it can be difficult to focus and retain information in the middle of a busy day. If you find yourself drifting during a meeting, or your kids struggle to pay attention to subjects they find less interesting, give doodling a try to see if it works for you!
