The short answer: Income phaseouts.

While the 2026 SALT cap jumped to $40,400, once your income passes $505,000, the IRS gradually scales that write-off back down to $10,000.

3 quick ways to keep your write-offs:
1. Max out pre-tax retirement contributions before Dec 31.
2. Harvest capital losses to offset gains and trim your adjusted income.
3. Map out a strategy before this higher cap resets in 2030.

You can roll over up to $35,000 of unused 529 funds directly into a Roth IRA for your child without paying federal taxes or penalties.

To qualify, the rollover has to meet several IRS rules:
• The 529 account must be open for at least 15 years
• The total lifetime rollover cap is $35,000 per beneficiary
• The annual rollover is limited by the yearly IRA contribution cap, which is $7,500 in 2026 for someone under age 50
• The beneficiary must have taxable compensation at least equal to the amount rolled over
• Contributions made during the previous five years, along with the earnings on them, can’t be rolled over

We get it, tax rules are a lot to digest when you're trying to plan for your child’s future. Every family’s picture is a little different, and I’d love to help you figure out if a 529 plan actually makes sense for your specific goals.

If your annual net profit is over $60,000 and your cash flow is steady, an S corporation election can make sense for your business. Here are the main steps to get started:
1. File IRS Form 2553. Submit this within 75 days of the start of the tax year (March 15 for calendar-year businesses) or within 75 days of forming a new LLC. All owners must sign.
2. Set up W-2 payroll. Document a reasonable salary based on the work you perform, your responsibilities, and relevant pay data. Set up payroll to withhold the required income and payroll taxes from your W-2 salary.
3. Separate your accounting ledgers. Keep strict records separating W-2 wages from shareholder distributions.
4. Track your new filing requirements. A calendar-year S corporation generally files Form 1120-S by March 15 and provides each shareholder with a Schedule K-1.

Missed the deadline? You can qualify for late-election relief if you had reasonable cause and meet the IRS requirements, including filing within three years and 75 days of the intended effective date.

Comment S CORP below if you want help figuring out whether the election makes sense and what you’d need to set up.

A 529 plan can protect your college savings from annual taxes on dividends and capital gains, with tax-free withdrawals for qualified education expenses.

In a standard brokerage account, dividends and realized capital gains can create a tax bill along the way. Those taxes leave less money in the account to keep growing.

A 529 plan handles your growth differently:
• You contribute money that has already been taxed, so there’s no federal deduction on your return.
• The money can grow without annual federal taxes on dividends or capital gains.
• Withdrawals are tax-free when you use them for qualified education expenses.

Depending on your state, you may also qualify for a state income tax deduction or credit when you contribute.
