Small business owners: If you think your income is too high for you to qualify to make Roth IRA contributions, think again. Many owners are eligible without realizing it because of various deductions for the self-employed. A Roth IRA offers potential advantages over tax-deferred accounts. Although Roth contributions aren’t deductible, qualified withdrawals won’t be taxed. And you aren’t required to take withdrawals from your Roth IRA, meaning the account can continue to grow tax-free. Your heirs can also take tax-free withdrawals. For help evaluating your Roth IRA eligibility and developing a long-term retirement strategy that aligns with your personal and financial goals, contact us at (646) 216-9191.

Small business owners: Tax credits can reduce your tax bill dollar for dollar. But using them isn’t always straightforward. Many business credits fall under the general business credit (GBC), which limits how much you can claim each year and governs how unused credits are carried back or forward. Missteps can mean lost or delayed tax benefits. We help small businesses identify eligible credits, apply the GBC rules correctly and optimize their tax outcomes over time. Contact us at (646) 216-9191 to see whether you’re making the most of the credits available to you.

U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is widely perceived as the “gold standard” in financial reporting. However, many businesses supplement their GAAP financials with non-GAAP metrics to help stakeholders make better-informed decisions. For example, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) can provide insight into your business’s cash flow and long-term profitability. Because non-GAAP measures aren’t governed by a single set of accounting standards, calculations can vary significantly. So detailed disclosures are critical for reliable comparisons. Call us at (646) 216-9191 for help presenting your financial results consistently and transparently.

But if early retirement is a priority, call us {Phone%} so we can help you make it happen.

Certain “small businesses” may qualify for several valuable tax breaks. But different tax provisions use different size tests. For instance, a gross receipts test is used to determine eligibility for cash accounting, simplified inventory rules, the completed contract method, relief from UNICAP requirements and exemption from the business interest deduction limitation. This threshold is adjusted for inflation. For 2026, your business may be eligible if its average annual gross receipts for the prior three-year period were $32 million or less. Call us at (646) 216-9191 for help evaluating your eligibility for these and other tax-saving opportunities based on your business’s structure and operations.

Starting in 2026, the tax rules for the personal casualty loss deduction are changing. While the deduction remains limited mainly to disaster-related losses, eligibility is expanding beyond federally declared disasters to include certain state-declared disasters. Because the rules are complicated and additional limits apply, review your situation with us. We can help determine whether you’re eligible for a casualty loss deduction. Contact us at (646) 216-9191.

Don’t underestimate how overhead costs can affect your business’s profitability. Indirect expenses — such as rent, utilities, insurance and administrative costs — often grow quietly over time. Allocating overhead costs across products, services, projects or clients can provide greater insight into profitability. A disciplined allocation approach can help you identify underperforming products or services, evaluate expansion opportunities, and make better-informed pricing decisions. Reviewing your allocation methods periodically is especially important as labor, technology and operating costs change. Call us at (646) 216-9191 to discuss practical strategies for managing overhead and improving your bottom line.

Small business owners, beware: Tax identity theft is a costly, ongoing threat. Criminals may file fraudulent returns using a business’s EIN, impersonate executives to steal employee W-2 data, or use forged IRS documents to pose as a business for financial or tax-related activity. Protect your organization by implementing a cybersecurity plan, securing sensitive data, training employees and using technology tools such as encryption and multi-factor authentication. Working with a trusted tax professional is also critical. We can review your risks, recommend safeguards and determine the next steps if something looks suspicious. Contact us at (646) 216-9191 to learn more.

Do your employees pay out of pocket for business travel, meals or supplies? With a properly structured “accountable plan,” reimbursements are tax-free to employees and deductible for your business. (Remember, meals are generally only 50% deductible.) Without an accountable plan, reimbursements count as taxable wages and trigger income taxes for the employee and payroll taxes for both the employee and your business. Contact us at (646) 216-9191 to help ensure your reimbursement practices comply with the tax rules and minimize unintended tax consequences.
