Harris, Hardy & Johnstone, P.C.

Happy Labor Day! Today we honor the dedication and effort that drive our community forward every day. Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!
- The HHJ Team

On behalf of the entire firm, HHJ extends our gratitude to Anna Buell as her accounting internship comes to a close. Anna consistently delivered top-tier work, showing impressive drive, meticulous accuracy, and a clear talent for financial analysis.

We truly valued having your professional presence in the office, Anna. We offer our best wishes as you return to Harrisonburg for another stellar year at James Madison University - we know bright achievements are ahead.

Did you know the Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) Tax Credit is now permanent? Under Section 45S, qualifying employers can claim a federal business tax credit ranging from 12.5% to 25% on wages paid during leave.

Key enhancements make it easier than ever for businesses to save:
• Broader Eligibility: Covers employees with just 6 months of tenure and part-time staff working 20+ hours/week.
• Two Ways to Claim: Base your credit on qualifying wages paid OR insurance premiums for PFML policies.
• State Mandates Count: Leave provided under state/local mandates now helps satisfy eligibility requirements.

Whether you cover employee leave for welcoming a new child, personal illness, or family care, make sure your written policy meets IRS standards so you don't leave money on the table. Contact your Harris, Hardy, and Johnstone accountant today to review your leave policy and maximize your tax savings!
