Many of the major tax provisions signed into law in 2025 start taking effect in 2026. How has the tax landscape changed for you or your business since last year? Contact us at (786) 505-0017 and we’ll give you the lay of the land, including how you can potentially claim tax credits and deductions.

Choosing the head of household (HOH) tax filing status may reduce your 2025 tax bill. HOH status offers a higher standard deduction, and in some cases, more favorable tax brackets than if you were to file as single. To qualify, you must have been unmarried (or considered unmarried) on Dec. 31, 2025; have paid more than half the cost of maintaining your home; and have had a qualifying dependent living with you for more than half the year. If you’re living with the other parent of your child but not married, only one of you can claim HOH status. The rules for HOH status can be complex, especially for divorced or separated parents. We can help you determine if you qualify. Contact us at (786) 505-0017.

Creating a well-thought-out estate plan can significantly reduce current and future tax liability. Incorporating strategies such as gifting assets during your lifetime, placing appreciating assets in trusts and ensuring proper beneficiary designations can help minimize taxes for you and your family. Contact us at (786) 505-0017. We can review your plan to ensure you’re using the most tax-efficient tools to protect your wealth and pass it on according to your wishes.

Beginning in 2025, businesses can once again deduct domestic research and experimental (R&E) expenses in the year they’re incurred, rather than amortizing them over five years. In addition, “small businesses” can file amended returns to claim the deduction retroactively for 2022 through 2024. Regardless of size, businesses that incurred domestic R&E expenses in 2022 through 2024 can elect to accelerate the remaining deductions for those expenditures over a one- or two-year period. If your business has incurred domestic R&E expenses in any of these years, call us at (786) 505-0017 to discuss how these changes can help boost your cash flow.

You may have heard you need at least $1 million (or $750,000 or $3 million or another number) saved before you retire. The truth is, “your number” is specific to you. How much you need for a secure and fulfilling post-work life depends on factors such as your current income, your desired retirement lifestyle and whether you hope to leave a legacy to heirs. Contact us (786) 505-0017. We’ll review your situation together and come up with a retirement savings plan — including a number.

If you’re thinking about starting a business, make sure you understand your federal tax responsibilities before opening your doors. IRS Publication 583, Starting a Business and Keeping Records, covers the basics. Your business structure (such as a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company or corporation) determines which forms you must file and which taxes apply, including income, self-employment, employment and excise taxes. You may also need an Employer Identification Number for tax purposes, and you should be aware of your recordkeeping requirements. Starting a business is exciting, and getting the tax details right is important. We’re here to help. Call us at (786) 505-0017.

When you’re running a business, it’s easy for the books to fall behind. But timely, accurate financial records are essential for a healthy operation. Reporting delays can lead to cash-flow surprises, cost overruns and missed opportunities. Contact us at (786) 505-0017 to get caught up and gain real-time insights that can help your business thrive.

In a divorce, a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO) allows retirement plan assets to be transferred to a spouse without dire tax consequences. A court issues a QDRO, which states a dollar amount or a percentage of assets that belongs to the spouse. It also specifies the number of payments to be made (or the length of time for the terms to apply). Contact us at (786) 505-0017 for details.

Writing a comprehensive business plan is an absolute imperative when launching a business. But it’s also important for running one. Why? Because your business plan can help you see into the future. As long as it’s properly structured, adheres to sound strategies and contains accurate data, a business plan should spell out in black and white what your company will accomplish and how it will get there. Contact us at (786) 505-0017 for help determining whether your business plan is still the crystal ball it needs to be.

The IRS is reminding taxpayers of new deductions available this tax season. If you’re 65 or older, you potentially can claim an additional $6,000 deduction. Depending on your occupation, you may be able to deduct up to $25,000 in qualified tips. You may also be able to deduct up to $12,500 in qualified overtime ($25,000 if you’re married and file jointly). If you took out a vehicle loan in 2025, you possibly can deduct up to $10,000 in interest paid. But all these breaks are subject to additional rules, and they phase out when income exceeds applicable limits. If you’re eligible, you can claim these deductions whether you itemize or take the standard deduction. Contact us at (786) 505-0017 with questions.

It’s common for small businesses to work with friends, relatives and affiliated companies. After all, they can be loyal workers and trustworthy business partners. But if related-party transactions aren’t handled properly, they can distort financial results, affect loan eligibility and even trigger IRS scrutiny. We can help you identify and record these transactions at market terms. Proper documentation supports compliance and provides clearer insight into how these arrangements affect cash flow and profitability. Contact us at (786) 505-0017 to keep your books accurate and transparent.

Many businesses today outsource one or more of their IT functions to save money. Yet if you don’t manage the risks involved, you could end up spending more and getting less in return. For example, slow support times or services that don’t match your objectives or employees’ needs can undermine productivity. Contact us at (786) 505-0017 for help evaluating a prospective IT outsourcing arrangement or assessing the ROI of an existing one.
