October 15 Filing Extension Deadlines

Taxpayers who timely requested an extension to file their 2025 federal income tax returns generally must file by Thursday, October 15, 2026. The same deadline generally applies to calendar-year C corporations that received an extension to file their 2025 corporate returns (Form 1120).

In addition, U.S. persons with a financial interest in or signature authority over foreign financial accounts whose combined value exceeded $10,000 at any time during 2025, and who are required to file a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR), generally must file by October 15, 2026. The FBAR extension is automatic; no extension request is necessary.

Up to $5,120 of the Adoption Tax Credit Is Refundable for 2026 – Did You Know?

The Adoption Tax Credit helps eligible families manage qualified costs such as adoption fees, travel, legal services and home studies. In recent years, the credit was nonrefundable: it could reduce a person's federal income tax, but any unused amount generally had to be carried forward.

Under rules that took effect in 2025, part of the credit is now refundable. For tax year 2026, up to $5,120 per eligible child may be refundable, even if the taxpayer owes no federal income tax. Any unused nonrefundable portion may be carried forward for up to five years, but a carryforward cannot become refundable in a later year.

The Adoption Tax Credit is subject to income limits and other restrictions, and the timing of a claim depends on the circumstances of the adoption. A tax professional can help determine whether you qualify and how much credit you may claim.

A small electrical business we work with was buried in receipts, invoices, and spreadsheets every month. Handing off their bookkeeping freed up 10 hours a month, time they've put straight back into the business (and honestly, into having a weekend).
Sometimes the best investment isn't more tools, it's more time.

Ready to get some of your time back? Send us a message and let's chat.

Insurance renewals, license fees, association dues: the costs that don't show up in day to day job pricing but hit hard once a year. Trades business owners often budget for materials and wages down to the dollar, then get caught off guard by these. Building them into your annual budget (not just your monthly one) avoids the scramble.

Want help building these into your annual budget? Get in touch.

More time for the work that pays. That's the shift happening across trades right now: less time buried in admin, more time on the jobs that actually bring in revenue. The businesses pulling ahead aren't necessarily the busiest, they're the ones who've streamlined what happens behind the scenes.

Want to see where your admin time is going? Let's take a look together.

Busy every week and still barely breaking even? It's rarely the tax bill causing that, it's usually the quote. Underpricing jobs to stay competitive quietly eats your margin no matter how much work is on the board. Being fully booked isn't the same as being profitable.

Want a second set of eyes on your pricing? Message us and we'll take a look.

Sole trader or company: it's a question a lot of trades business owners put off longer than they should. The right structure depends on your revenue, liability exposure, and growth plans, not just what's simplest to set up. If you've grown a lot in the last year or two, it might be time to revisit this decision rather than assume the original setup still fits.

Not sure if your current structure still fits? Let's talk it through.

Quick poll 👇 What's costing you the most stress right now: chasing invoices, tax time, or just not knowing your numbers? Drop your answer in the comments, we're curious what trades business owners are dealing with most this season.

A concreting business we work with was losing hours every week to manual paperwork: job costing, receipts, invoicing, all handled separately. One change to how they track it back of house gave them back 5 hours a week. Sometimes the biggest efficiency win isn't a bigger crew, it's a better system.

Curious what that change looked like? Send us a message, we're happy to share.

Thinking about taking on a second crew? Before you commit to more trucks, tools, and wages, there's one number worth knowing cold: your break even utilization rate. Get that wrong and growth adds stress without adding profit. Get it right, and you'll know exactly how much work the new crew needs to bring in before it's worth it.

Planning a second crew? Let's run the numbers together before you commit.
