🚨 Attention Virginia Employers! 🚨

A major state requirement for small businesses is expanding this summer. Starting July 1, 2026, the RetirePath Virginia mandate has expanded.

If your business meets the following criteria, you are required by law to either register for RetirePath OR offer your own qualified retirement plan (such as a 401(k) or SIMPLE IRA):
β€’ You have been operating in Virginia for 2 or more years.
β€’ You employ 5 or more eligible employees (including part-time workers).
β€’ You do not currently sponsor a qualified retirement plan.

What You Need to Know:
β€’ RetirePath is an auto-enrollment, state-facilitated Roth IRA program.
β€’ It features no employer fees and no fiduciary responsibilities, but employers must process payroll deductions and distribute program information.
β€’ Eligible businesses will receive notices outlining their compliance options and a unique access code to register.

While RetirePath is a simple way to meet state requirements, it carries contribution and income limits that may not be ideal for you or your key personnel. Implementing a custom private plan may make more economic sense for your business. This is why it is important understand the options to ensure that you make the best decision for you and your business.

Not sure which route is best for your business? We can help you navigate these regulatory changes, evaluate your options, and stay compliant before the deadline.

A court decision from late 2025 could mean money back in your pocket, but you need to act before July 10.

The Kwong v. United States ruling found that the nationwide COVID emergency triggered mandatory penalty relief under the tax code, covering failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties from January 20, 2020 through July 10, 2023. Tens of millions of taxpayers may be eligible for refunds, including interest that piled up on those penalties.

To protect your right to a refund, you'll need to file a protective claim using IRS Form 843 or an amended return before the deadline. You don't have to calculate an exact dollar amount now. You just need to get on record before time runs out.

If you received IRS penalties during the COVID years and want to know whether this applies to you, reach out to our office. We're here to help you sort it out.

Tax season may be behind us, but summer is actually the perfect time to get ahead of what's coming next.

Here's your mid-year tax checklist:
βœ… Gather documents you already have (last year's return, investment statements, pay stubs)
βœ… Confirm the IRS received any tax payments you made
βœ… Stay current on quarterly estimated tax payments
βœ… Review your withholdings, especially if your income has changed
βœ… Note any major life changes: marriage, divorce, new baby, retirement, or a move
βœ… Schedule time with your CPA before year-end so you can make smart moves while there's still time

A little planning now means fewer surprises in April. We're here all year, not just when the deadlines hit. Reach out at firmcpa.com or call us at (276) 628-1123.
