If you’re responsible for collecting, accounting for or remitting federal taxes withheld from employee paychecks, beware of the trust fund recovery penalty (TFRP). As a responsible individual, you may be personally liable for a 100% penalty on income and employment taxes your business either fails to collect or fails to remit to the IRS. Your actions must be “willful,” meaning you’ve been, or should have been, aware of the responsibility and either intentionally disregarded the law or were indifferent to it. According to the IRS, no “evil intent or bad motive” is required. Call us at (630) 548-9293 if you receive a letter from the IRS about the TFRP or for help with tax compliance.

Now is a good time to review your year-to-date investment gains and losses. If you have net capital gains, consider selling investments that have declined in value to help offset your gains — a strategy known as “loss harvesting.” If you have net losses, harvesting gains by selling appreciated investments can allow you to recognize some or all of the gains tax-free. You can also generally use up to $3,000 of net capital losses to offset ordinary income. Contact us at (630) 548-9293 to discuss year-end tax planning for your investments.

Employers: The IRS recently updated its FAQs on the qualified overtime pay tax deduction for employees created in 2025. The guidance provides new details on how you must identify, calculate and report qualified overtime income. For example, it clarifies that only FLSA-mandated overtime premiums qualify, notifies employers that separate reporting on Forms W-2 is required beginning in 2026, and confirms that overtime pay remains subject to federal income tax withholding. These changes may call for payroll system updates and a closer review of employee classifications and overtime practices. Call us for help preparing for the new requirements.

Your tax, retirement and estate planning shouldn’t be done separately. Decisions in one area can affect the others, especially as tax laws, financial circumstances and long-term goals evolve. We can help keep these important drivers of financial security in sync by providing coordinated strategies for managing taxes, supporting retirement objectives and preserving wealth for future generations. Contact us at (630) 548-9293 to get started.

Your business can show a profit on paper and still face cash shortages because profit and cash flow measure different things. Profit reflects revenue minus expenses, while cash flow tracks the movement of cash in and out of your business. Cash shortfalls are especially common for growing businesses. That’s because you typically must pay suppliers, vendors and lenders upfront, and then wait for customers to pay you. Understanding the difference between profit and cash flow — and how to account for each — can help you make smarter financial decisions. Contact us at (630) 548-9293 to learn strategies for improving cash flow management.

You may be eligible for the Child and Dependent Care Credit if you pay for care so you can work. For 2026, the credit for lower-income taxpayers increases from 35% to 50% of the first $3,000 of qualified expenses for one child ($6,000 for two or more children). Some middle-income taxpayers may also qualify for a larger percentage than in prior years. Call us at (630) 548-9293 to learn how the updated rules may apply to your family.

Wondering how Sec. 530A accounts (also known as Trump Accounts) may be invested? The IRS has issued proposed regulations clarifying the investment options allowed during the “growth period.” This period begins when the beneficiary’s initial account is established and ends on Dec. 31 of the year the child turns 17. During this time, eligible investments generally include mutual funds or exchange-traded funds that track an equity index of mainly U.S. companies, don’t use leverage, and have annual fees and expenses of no more than 0.1% of the fund’s balance. The proposed regulations would apply to tax years starting on or after Jan. 1, 2026. Call us at (630) 548-9293 with questions.

Business owners: Are you or your employees planning to go “back to school” soon? Two types of work-related education costs may qualify for business tax breaks: 1) those required to retain an existing job, license or professional status, and 2) those directly tied to maintaining or improving skills for a current trade or business. Deductible expenses can include tuition, books, supplies and possibly travel if the primary purpose of the trip is business-related education. However, you can’t deduct costs for education that help meet the minimum qualifications for a position or to qualify for a new trade or business. Contact us at (630) 548-9293 to learn the ABCs of work-related education expense deductions.
