📣 Tax pros: filing season questions are already on the way.

Your clients have heard "no tax on tips," "no tax on overtime," and "the bigger SALT cap." What they haven't heard about are the limits:

🔹 Income phase-outs based on MAGI
🔹 Married filers must file jointly to claim the tips and overtime deductions
🔹 These are income tax deductions, so Social Security and Medicare taxes still apply

🗓️ On October 21st at 6 PM ET, I'm teaching a free virtual workshop on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, built for practitioners.

📒 Your bookkeeper tells you what happened.

🧭 Your CPA helps you decide what happens next.

You need both. And here's what I see all the time: planning is available, but it isn't being used. By tax season, the numbers are already set.

The owners who get the best results engage all year. Clean books, real planning, and one team seeing the whole picture.

🤝 At The Relatable CPA, your bookkeeping and your CPA are under one roof.

💼 S-corp owners: are you paying yourself a salary?

If you're taking distributions and skipping payroll, or keeping your salary unrealistically low, the IRS can reclassify those distributions as wages. That means back payroll taxes, penalties, and interest.

The standard is reasonable compensation: what you'd pay someone else to do your job. It rests on the wage definitions in IRC §3121(a) and §3401(a) and Rev. Rul. 74-44.

⏳ Q4 starts Thursday. Your April tax bill is already being written.

Most of what you'll owe next spring gets decided before December 31st. Once January hits, most of your options are gone.

✅ Retirement contributions
✅ Entity structure
✅ Estimated payments

These are Q4 conversations, not tax season conversations.

💡 Did you know your overtime pay just got a federal tax deduction?

Under IRC Section 225 — added by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act — qualifying overtime pay can now be deducted from your federal taxable income.

But here's the part most people are missing: it's not ALL your overtime.

Only the HALF. The premium portion of time and a half.

Up to $12,500 for single filers. $25,000 if you're married filing jointly.

W-2 employees only. Federal FLSA overtime only. Phase-outs apply at higher income levels.

The details matter — and that's exactly what a Clarity Call is for.

📖 Most tax advice you find online didn't come from the source.

It came from someone's version of someone else's summary.

At The Relatable CPA, we go straight to Title 26 — the actual Internal Revenue Code — and work forward from there.

Not trends. Not social media. The real law. Explained so you actually understand it.

If you've been looking for a CPA who can tell you the WHY behind the numbers — not just hand you a form — you're in the right place.
