AI can help your business meet high customer service expectations without overburdening employees. It’s particularly effective for routine tasks. These include answering customers’ basic questions anytime on your website or social media accounts. AI can also help analyze and route customer requests to the right employees, and work behind the scenes to give staffers context and suggest next steps. Of course, AI is only as effective as how it’s trained and used. Your business should regularly test its systems, restrict access to confidential data and establish escalation rules. Call us at (702) 898-9000 for help calculating possible savings and finding affordable solutions.

You must pay the alternative minimum tax (AMT) if your AMT liability exceeds your regular tax liability. An exemption of $90,100 is available ($140,200 for joint filers, half that for separate filers), but it phases out when income exceeds certain levels — which have dropped for 2026. Plus, the exemption is now phased out twice as fast as in 2025. Add to that the impact of a potentially larger state and local tax deduction (which isn’t AMT-deductible), and you might be at higher AMT risk this year. Call us at (702) 898-9000 for help assessing your risk and finding strategies to minimize your taxes.

Looking for investments with valuable tax advantages? Stock in certain domestic C corporations can offer substantial tax savings when you sell, and the benefits have been enhanced. Investors in qualified small business (QSB) stock acquired after July 4, 2025, may be eligible for a 50% capital gains exclusion after holding the stock for three years and a 75% exclusion after four years. The previous 100% exclusion after five years is still available. The maximum exclusion also increased from $10 million to the greater of $15 million (inflation-adjusted after 2026) or 10 times the aggregate adjusted basis of stock sold during the tax year. The rules are complex, so contact us at (702) 898-9000 to learn more.

For businesses, gamification is a way to use game-like strategies to motivate both customers and employees. For example, rewards programs may help strengthen customer loyalty and encourage repeat purchases. Internally, employee recognition systems, sales leaderboards and training milestones may improve performance and promote skill development. When implemented thoughtfully, these efforts can reinforce desired behaviors and support long-term growth. Call us at (702) 898-9000 for help designing and evaluating your gamification initiatives.

For businesses to stay operational and attain profitability, liquidity is key. The good news is that working capital management is a tried-and-true way to tackle this challenge. Working capital is a metric (current assets minus current liabilities) that measures liquidity. Regularly calculating it can help you and your leadership team determine, among other things, whether you have enough current assets to cover current obligations. The amount of working capital your company needs is known as its working capital requirement. To optimize your working capital requirement, focus primarily on three key areas: 1) accounts receivable, 2) accounts payable and 3) inventory. Call us at (702) 898-9000 for help.

Do you donate thousands of dollars to charity each year? Do you miss out on the itemized charitable deduction because you don’t have enough total itemized deductions to exceed your standard deduction? Consider “bunching” most of your donations into alternating years. By combining two years of gifts into one year, you may push your itemized deductions above your standard deduction and get a greater tax benefit from your charitable giving — even with the new deduction for nonitemizers starting in 2026. Contact us at (702) 898-9000 for help determining if you can benefit from this strategy.

Are you paid to care for a family member? Don’t overlook the tax implications. Depending on the arrangement, a family caregiver may be considered a household employee, which can create employment tax and Form W-2 obligations for the person receiving care. In other situations, the caregiver may not be an employee but still must report the payments as income. Self-employment tax may also apply if the caregiver operates a trade or business providing care services. But employment tax or self-employment tax exceptions may apply when caring for a spouse, parent, child or other relative. Contact us at (702) 898-9000 to discuss your family’s situation.

In many businesses, the sales department tends to have a markedly higher turnover rate than other departments. If this has been the case at yours, don’t give up hope. There are ways to address the challenge. Begin with improvements to your hiring and onboarding processes. Welcome new salespeople warmly, provide ample training and consider appointing mentors to help them get comfortable. Of course, compensation matters as well. Carefully investigate the feasibility of retention bonuses and financial rewards for maintaining or increasing sales. Also, consider forming a sales leadership team that can contribute to strategic planning. Contact us at (702) 898-9000 for assistance.
