UPCOMING EVENT: ESTATE PLANNING CONVERSATIONS FOR FAMILIES

Who will keep the family home?

Should you leave an inheritance or help loved ones while you're still here to see the impact?
These aren’t just estate planning questions. They’re family conversations.

Through real-life examples and perspectives from legal, tax and financial planning, you’ll leave with questions to ask, conversations to start and a better understanding of how professional advisors work together.

Ripple Event: Estate Planning Conversations for Families
Thursday, September 17 | 10:00–11:30 a.m.
Join us in person or on Zoom
Location: Ripple Space, 275 W 3rd St, Ste 400, Vancouver, WA 98660

Beep! Beep! An important change for tax time is here. 🚗

If you use your vehicle for business, there’s an important mileage rate change to keep in mind for 2026.

The IRS standard mileage rate is:

• 72.5 cents per mile for Jan. 1–June 30
• 76 cents per mile for July 1–Dec. 31

One important reminder: Keep your mileage records separated by period. Your log should include the date, destination, business purpose and miles driven.

Save this graphic for your records—and share it with someone who tracks business mileage.
