If you’re responsible for collecting, accounting for or remitting federal taxes withheld from employee paychecks, beware of the trust fund recovery penalty (TFRP). As a responsible individual, you may be personally liable for a 100% penalty on income and employment taxes your business either fails to collect or fails to remit to the IRS. Your actions must be “willful,” meaning you’ve been, or should have been, aware of the responsibility and either intentionally disregarded the law or were indifferent to it. According to the IRS, no “evil intent or bad motive” is required. Call us at (662) 728-6235 if you receive a letter from the IRS about the TFRP or for help with tax compliance.

Eligibility for Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) accounts has expanded to individuals whose blindness or disability began before age 46. Until this year, the blindness or disability had to have begun before age 26. As a result, many people who weren’t previously eligible can benefit from these accounts beginning in 2026. ABLE accounts offer tax-advantaged savings for qualified disability expenses. The 2026 contribution limit is generally $20,000. In some cases, 529 plan funds can be rolled over tax-free to ABLE accounts, counting toward the annual limit. Call us at (662) 728-6235 to learn more.

You may need to make quarterly estimated tax payments if you own a sole proprietorship or an interest in a pass-through entity, which includes partnerships, S corporations and most limited liability companies. Changes in your business’s taxable income, deductions or overall tax situation may have altered your expected tax liability. A year-end projection can help you determine whether you’ll need to adjust your fourth-quarter estimated tax payment that’s due by January 15, 2027. Call us at (662) 728-6235 to review your situation.

Buyer beware! If you acquire a business with delinquent tax obligations, you could become liable for those debts. Your exposure primarily depends on how the deal is structured. In an asset purchase, buyers can generally avoid liabilities associated with the business, but certain state laws may allow creditors or tax authorities to pursue transferred assets. When buying ownership interests, liabilities typically remain with the business entity. Due diligence should include reviewing several years of tax returns for unpaid income, payroll, sales and property taxes, uncertain tax positions, and undisclosed liabilities. Call us at (662) 728-6235 for help identifying potential risks before closing.

How much should you budget for retirement expenses? One common guideline says 60% to 70% of your current income. Some expenses might decrease or disappear (commuting costs, mortgage payments), while others are likely to increase (health care, property taxes). Specificity, not to mention incorporating inflation into your calculation, is important. We can help — call us at (662) 728-6235.

If your business offers employees a 401(k) plan, be sure to comply with all applicable regulations. Misunderstanding or inadvertently ignoring eligibility rules — for example, when workers must be allowed to start participating — can result in IRS penalties. It can also harm employees who are mistakenly excluded. Contact us at (662) 728-6235 with questions.

Cryptocurrency holders: Be alert for a new IRS impersonation scam. Fraudsters are mailing fake IRS letters directing recipients to a bogus “Digital Asset Compliance Portal.” The letters instruct recipients to scan a QR code that leads to a fraudulent website designed to look like IRS.gov. The site may ask for personal information, cryptocurrency wallet details, or exchange account credentials that criminals can use to steal identities or digital assets. If you receive one of these letters, don’t respond. Report any suspicious communication to the IRS immediately. If you have questions about an IRS notice or digital asset reporting, we’re here to help. Contact us at (662) 728-6235.

Reconstructing business mileage records months after the fact can be frustrating — and unreliable. If you or your employees use personal vehicles for business, establish a system for logging trips as they occur. QuickBooks users can take advantage of mobile tools that automatically track trips and classify business vs. personal mileage. Other mileage apps or a well-maintained manual log can also work. As year end approaches, make sure your records include key details, such as mileage and business purpose. Timely, accurate documentation is essential for bookkeeping, employee reimbursements and tax reporting. Call us at (662) 728-6235 for help improving your mileage tracking process.
