June 19, 1865. A date that changed everything for millions of people, and one that still deserves to be remembered for the weight it carries.

At Tax Links, we serve a community built by people who came from somewhere, started over, and built something with their own hands. Today, we honor everyone who fought so that freedom could mean something real.

Opening an LLC is only the first step.

What comes next is what keeps the business running — and many business owners find out too late.

After forming your LLC in Florida, four things need to happen: open a business bank account in your company's name, get your EIN from the IRS, set up a basic bookkeeping system from day one, and file your Annual Report with the state of Florida every year.

Each of these have a direct impact on your taxes and the health of your business.

In this episode, Karen explains each step in Spanish for our Latino community — because building a business should not depend on the language the instructions come in.

Watch with subtitles. Comment "NEXT" if you want us to keep going.

Today is the Q2 Estimated Tax deadline.

If you're self-employed, a contractor, a business owner, or receive income without automatic withholding — this payment may be due today.

The IRS says individuals who expect to owe $1,000 or more when they file generally need to make estimated payments throughout the year. Missing today's deadline doesn't erase the obligation. It adds penalties and interest to what you already owe.

Haven't paid yet? It's not too late to act — but today is the day to do so.

If your child was born between 2025 and 2028, the government set aside $1,000 in their name.

Trump Accounts are tax-advantaged accounts backed by federal law. Eligible children get a $1,000 Treasury deposit. Families can add up to $5,000/year. Employers can contribute $2,500/year. Everything grows tax-deferred until age 18.

To claim it: file IRS Form 4547 or go to trumpaccounts.gov. Contributions open July 4, 2026.

Most families don't know about this yet. It shows up on your tax return in ways worth understanding before the program launches.

The IRS doesn't send a reminder. No alert. No warning email. No text.

If you're self-employed, a contractor, a business owner, or you receive income where taxes aren't withheld automatically — July 15 may be a deadline that applies to you right now.

Q2 Estimated Tax covers income earned from April through July. The IRS says estimated tax is used to pay tax on income not subject to withholding, and that individuals generally need to make estimated payments if they expect to owe $1,000 or more when they file. For 2026, the IRS Form 1040-ES confirms the second estimated tax payment is due on July 15.

Missing it doesn't make the obligation go away. It adds penalties and interest to a bill that was already yours.

If you're not sure whether this applies to your situation, don't guess. Ask before Sunday.

Q2 Estimated Tax is coming — and now is the right time to check whether this applies to you.

Estimated tax is used to pay tax on income that isn't subject to withholding. The IRS lists examples such as income from self-employment, interest, dividends, rents and other income where tax may not be withheld automatically. Individuals generally may need to make estimated tax payments if they expect to owe $1,000 or more when they file. Corporations generally use a $500 threshold.

For 2026, the IRS Form 1040-ES shows the second estimated tax payment deadline as July 15, 2026.

If you're self-employed, a contractor, a business owner, or receive income where tax isn't being withheld — now is a good time to get ahead of this before the deadline arrives.

The IRS won't send a reminder. But we will.

This is the final part of our W-4 series. It is an area that many people overlook until tax season comes and they realize not enough federal tax was withheld during the year.

Extra withholding means asking your employer to withhold an additional amount of federal income tax from each paycheck. The IRS Form W-4 states that Step 4(c) is where employees can enter any additional tax they want withheld each pay period. The IRS also explains that if too little is withheld, you may owe tax and possibly a penalty when you file; if too much is withheld, you may be due a refund.

This is why the W-4 is not just a form you fill out once and forget. If your income changes, your household changes, you start 1099 work, your spouse's income changes, or you keep owing at tax time, it may be time to look at it again.

This video is educational and does not replace personalized tax guidance. Your W-4 should be checked based on your income, filing status, dependents, additional income, deductions, credits and overall tax situation.

Save this series and contact Tax Links if you need help understanding your next step.

Orlando business owners aren't just searching for "tax help." They're searching for answers they can actually put into practice.

Some are trying to open an LLC and figure out what comes after the state filing. Some already have a business, but their bookkeeping is behind. Some missed the Annual Report deadline and are trying to understand what happens next. Others are self-employed and don't know whether Schedule C, estimated taxes or self-employment tax apply to them.

These aren't random questions. They're the questions that come up when a business starts becoming more real.

At Tax Links, we help business owners and self-employed professionals in Orlando and remotely make sense of the financial side of running a business with more structure.

If one of these questions is on your mind, send us a message.
