📅 Filed a tax extension? October 15 is coming up!

If you requested an extension for your 2025 tax return, now is the time to gather your documents and get it filed. An extension gave you more time to file, but it did not give you more time to pay any tax owed.

As I work and listen to 9/11: 25 Years Later, my heart hurts for everyone who lost a loved one that day. Hearing people speak about losing their parents at such a young age is especially heartbreaking.

Please hug your loved ones a little tighter today and never take your time together for granted. Tomorrow is never promised. ❤️

💵 National Payroll Week is September 7–11!

The IRS is reminding employees and employers that now is a great time for a payroll checkup.

Employees: Review your paycheck withholding—especially if you recently changed jobs, got married or divorced, had a child, started working multiple jobs, or experienced a change in income.

Employers: Make sure payroll taxes are calculated correctly, deposits and returns are submitted on time, payroll records are maintained, and employee information is protected.

A quick review now can help prevent tax surprises and costly penalties later!

📱 Social Media Influencers: Not Every Expense Is Tax-Deductible

A recent Tax Court case involved an influencer who spent thousands of dollars attending award shows, meeting celebrities, participating in sports experiences, and purchasing memorabilia. He posted photos and videos from these events and claimed the costs as business marketing expenses.

The court denied all the deductions.

Why? The expenses appeared to provide significant personal enjoyment, and the taxpayer did not prove that they were primarily for business purposes. Simply posting an experience online or gaining more followers does not automatically make the expense deductible.

The taxpayer also:

• Did not earn income from social media during the years involved
• Originally claimed the expenses as charitable donations
• Later changed them to business marketing expenses
• Did not have enough receipts or records connecting each expense to a business purpose

✅ The lesson: An influencer expense must be ordinary, necessary, and primarily related to an established business—not mainly a personal experience.

Keep detailed receipts, document the business purpose, and maintain records showing how each expense connects to income-producing activity. Calling something “content” or “marketing” does not automatically make it deductible.

Every situation is different, so speak with a tax professional before claiming influencer or content-creation expenses.

⚠️ Proposed Changes to Refundable Tax Credits for Some Immigrants

The IRS has proposed new rules that could prevent certain noncitizens from receiving the **refundable portion** of these tax credits:

• Child Tax Credit
• Earned Income Tax Credit
• American Opportunity Tax Credit
• Adoption Tax Credit

Under the proposal, the refundable portion would generally be available only to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and certain “qualified aliens.” Qualified individuals may include green card holders, refugees, people granted asylum, trafficking survivors, and certain domestic violence survivors.

Some people who are legally present under certain visas and DACA recipients could be affected.

✅ This proposal would only affect the amount refunded after the credit first pays any federal income tax owed.

⚠️ Important: These are proposed regulations and are not final yet.** The changes would apply only after the regulations become final.

Every person’s immigration and tax situation is different. Please do not assume you are disqualified without reviewing your specific circumstances with a qualified tax professional.

🌪️ Lost Important Records After a Disaster? Here’s Where to Start

Disasters can destroy important documents, but many records can be reconstructed for tax filings, insurance claims, or federal assistance.

✅ -Tax records: Download transcripts through your IRS Online Account, request them by mail, call **800-908-9946**, or submit Form 4506-T.

✅ -Bank records: Contact your bank or credit card company for copies of previous statements.

✅ -Personal property: Use photos, videos, receipts, canceled checks, and online pricing to help establish the value of damaged or lost items.

✅ -Real estate: Contact your mortgage company, title company, contractors, probate court, attorney, or county appraisal office for property and improvement records.

✅ -Vehicles: Contact the dealership for your purchase contract and use reputable resources to determine the vehicle’s fair market value.

Those living in federally declared disaster areas should also check their IRS Online Account for possible filing and payment extensions.

Preparation matters! Whenever possible, keep digital copies of important documents in a secure location.
