Dueños de negocio Schedule C: la temporada de impuestos se acerca.

¿Están listos tus libros?

Si tu contabilidad de 2026 ha estado sin tocar desde la primavera, ahora es el momento, no en enero.

Por qué esto importa ahora:

✔️ Aprovecha las deducciones mientras puedas. ¿Olvidaste categorizar un gasto en marzo? Es mucho más difícil recordarlo y documentarlo para abril.
✔️ Evita el cuello de botella de enero. La agenda de cualquier preparador se llena rápido en cuanto comienza la temporada de impuestos. Tener tus libros al día ahora significa ser de los primeros, no andar corriendo.
✔️ Reduce el costo de preparación. Libros desordenados toman más tiempo en resolver, y ese tiempo de limpieza normalmente se refleja en una cuenta más alta antes de que tu declaración pueda comenzar.
✔️ Sabe dónde estás antes del 31 de diciembre. Libros al día te permiten tomar decisiones inteligentes de fin de año, como compras de equipo o aportaciones de retiro, mientras aún hay tiempo.

Poner tus libros al día ahora no se trata solo de estar organizado. Se trata de entrar a la temporada de impuestos adelante, no atrás.

Schedule C business owners: tax season starts soon. Are your books ready?

Why this matters now:

If your 2026 bookkeeping has been sitting untouched since the spring, now is the time, not January.

✔️ Catch deductions while you still can. Missed categorizing an expense back in March? It's a lot harder to remember and document it by April.
✔️ Avoid the January bottleneck. Every preparer's calendar fills up fast once tax season hits. Clean books now means you're first in line, not scrambling in the rush.
✔️ Lower your prep fees. Messy books take longer to untangle, and that cleanup time usually shows up as a bigger bill before your return can even start.
✔️ Know where you stand before December 31. Clean books let you make smart year-end moves, like equipment purchases or retirement contributions, while there's still time to act.

Getting your books cleaned up now isn't just about being organized. It's about walking into tax season ahead of it instead of behind it.

Se acerca el 15 de octubre. No te quedes atrás.

Si presentaste una extensión en tu declaración individual a principios de este año, esta es tu fecha límite: Declaraciones Individuales (1040), las declaraciones extendidas vencen el 15 de octubre, 2026.

Esto es lo que se olvida fácilmente: una extensión solo te dio más tiempo para declarar, no para pagar. Si debías impuestos y no los pagaste en la primavera, es probable que ya se estén acumulando penalidades e intereses desde entonces. Si no cumples con esta fecha límite, se suman penalidades por no declarar a lo que ya se ha acumulado, y mientras más tiempo pase, más te cuesta.

Si aún no me has enviado tus documentos, o no estás seguro de en qué situación te encuentras, resolvamos esto antes de que se convierta en una cuenta más grande de lo necesario.

If you filed an extension on your individual return earlier this year, this is your deadline: Individual 1040 Returns, extended returns due October 15, 2026.

Here’s what’s easy to forget: an extension only bought you more time to file, not more time to pay. If tax was owed and wasn’t paid back in the spring, penalties and interest have already been accruing since then. Missing this deadline adds failure to file penalties on top of that, and the longer it sits, the more it costs.

If you haven’t sent your documents over yet, or you’re not sure where things stand, let’s get this handled before it turns into a bigger bill than it needs to be.

“Just do everyone as a 1099 if you’re under 10 employees” is advice we hear ALL THE TIME in small business circles — and it’s one of the fastest ways to end up owing the IRS way more than you saved.

Worker classification isn’t about headcount. It’s about who controls the work — the hours, the tools, the how. Get it wrong, and you’re not just looking at back taxes. You’re looking at penalties, interest, and a Texas Workforce Commission audit that can trace back years.

Swipe through for what’s actually true 👉

Not sure if someone on your team should be on payroll or on a 1099? That’s exactly the kind of question we love untangling. Send us a message — let’s get it right before it becomes expensive. 💚

One of the best parts of what I do is getting to walk alongside business owners like this one. Boerne Bespoke Cleaning Service, LLC just celebrated 13 months in business: voted Best House Cleaning in Boerne’s Best of Boerne! Watching her turn a side hustle into a thriving company, all while being an incredible mom and wife, has been such an honor to witness. Thank you for trusting me with the business side of things so you can keep doing what you do best. So proud to be part of your story, here’s to many more years of growth!

One whole year! ✨

We actually did it! One year of Boerne Bespoke Cleaning…well, 13 months to be exact. I've spent this last month trying to find the right words to pack all my gratitude into one "cheesy" post, but the truth is, my heart is just so full.

When we first moved to Boerne, I started cleaning as a simple side hustle. I remember throwing together some Canva ads and posting them in our local Facebook mom group with zero expectations. A few of you took a chance on the "new girl from Nebraska," and from those first few homes, this little dream just took off! Word of mouth travels fast in this small town, and I saw the chance to try something I never imagined: becoming a business owner.

I couldn't have done it alone. Erik was so excited to support me, even when he realized three months in that he'd basically signed up to be our delivery driver, racing cleaning supplies to the cleaning crews all over the Hill Country! Boerne Bespoke wouldn't be where it is today without the endless encouragement from him and my family every step of the way.

As we grew, I started bringing on crew members, working side-by-side with them to perfect our systems. We found such a welcoming community in the Greater Boerne Chamber of Commerce and Boerne Love, whose resources and connections really fueled our momentum. And I have to give a huge shoutout to Celeste Passement Baker Accounting; having her as our accountant brought so much clarity and stability to the "business" side of things, letting me focus on what I love. Every single one of our team members brings something special to the table, and I'm so grateful for the dedication they pour into Boerne Bespoke.

"Bespoke" means custom-made, and that's exactly how we treat every home. Our team works incredibly hard to care for your space as if it were their own. It's one thing to follow a checklist, but it takes a truly special person to remember the little things—like which treat the dog gets or which stuffy the toddler likes tucked into their bed. Because of this amazing team, we're able to bring a whole new level of personal, professional cleaning services to Boerne.

I have met so many incredible people here. Our schedule stays full because so many of you gave us a chance and have cheered us on since day one.

Because of your incredible support, we were even voted Best House Cleaning in the Boernean’s Best of Boerne! I am still pinching myself.

It is so exciting to see how far this "side hustle" has come in just one year. I am so looking forward to another year of growing and serving this amazing community.

Thank you for everything, Boerne! ❤️

📋 “I just formed my LLC… now what?”

If that’s you right now, you’re not alone. The decisions you make in the next few weeks matter more than most people realize. Getting your EIN, bank account, sales tax setup, and compliance obligations right the first time saves real money later.

That’s exactly why I offer the New Business Consultation, a focused 60 minute session (virtual or in person) covering:

✔️ EIN & bank account setup. Which documents you need, and why your business name has to match exactly

✔️ Comptroller obligations. Texas franchise tax, your Public Information Report, and BOI reporting, explained in plain language

✔️ Entity & tax elections. LLC vs. S corp, based on your actual projected income

✔️ Why bookkeeping starts day one. And how skipping this now leads to an expensive cleanup later

✔️ Your Certificate of Formation confirmed. Verified filing status with the TX Secretary of State

✔️ Sales tax permit & resale certificate. Do you need a permit, and could a resale certificate save you tax on materials?

✔️ Your first 90 days, mapped out. A clear, sequenced plan, not just a to do list

You’ll walk away with:
📄 A personalized PDF with your key compliance dates
📊 A curated chart of accounts, built for your specific business
✉️ A follow up summary email you can keep for your records

Available in English or Español.

If you formed your LLC and have no idea what comes next, let’s fix that before it costs you.
