Want to find out if your job is on the "no tax on tips" industry list? ➡️

The Treasury Department released a preliminary list of jobs that "customarily and regularly" received tips before 2025.

💾 Save this post to let the algorithm know you want to see Part Two tomorrow!

Before you go wild with the new “no tax on tips” law… here’s the deal:

This list isn’t every job that could ever get tipped. It’s just a preliminary list of occupations that were considered customarily + regularly tipped before 2025. 💸

The IRS is expected to issue additional guidance, especially for employees (or self-employed owners of) Specialized Service Trade or Business (SSTBs).

With any new tax change, working with a qualified tax accountant (like me!) is a great way to make sure you're doing everything right! 📲

⏳ ONE DAY AWAY! 🥂✨

I’m so excited to bring business owners together tomorrow for an evening of great conversations, valuable tax strategies, and meaningful connections—all over delicious food and a cocktail! 🥂

One of my favorite things about being a CPA is helping business owners recognize opportunities to save on taxes while building long-term wealth.

💰 Did you know your 401(k) can be more than just a retirement account?

It can also be a powerful tax-planning tool!

Tomorrow, we’ll discuss how retirement plans can help business owners:

💰 Reduce taxable income through eligible retirement contributions.

📈 Build long-term wealth through tax-advantaged retirement savings.

💼 Maximize business deductions with qualifying employer contributions.

✨ Take advantage of potential tax credits available to eligible small businesses.

I’m especially looking forward to sharing these strategies IN PERSON alongside our partners at J.P. Morgan!

Because sometimes the best financial conversations happen outside the office—over a great meal, a cocktail, and genuine connections.

📅 Thursday, October 29 | 5–7 PM

If you pay someone to prepare your tax return, and they ask you to sign it as "self-prepared"... RUN! 🚩🚩🚩

An S corp can SAVE you thousands in taxes... but it can also cost you (big time!!!) if you mess things up.

👉 Swipe to learn some of the scary things I see S corp owners do when they aren't aware of the consequences.

Don't let one of these things cost you money (or your S corp status!). 😬

If you're guilty of one of these things, or just not 100% confident you're doing things right, I can help you get your S corp back in compliance.

If a small biz owner is going to mess up a tax deduction, there's a good chance it's this one: the home office deduction! 🏡

If you're using a space in your home (whether you rent or own), REGULARLY + EXCLUSIVELY for your business, you can generally deduct expenses like your:

→ Rent or mortgage interest paid 🏠
→ Utilities (yep, electricity + internet count) ⚡️
→ Homeowner’s or renter’s insurance 🛡
→ Property taxes 💸
→ Depreciation (if you own your home) 📉
→ Home office furniture 🪑

What's the catch?

If an expense applies to your whole house (like your mortgage interest or property taxes), you can ONLY deduct the business-use portion.

If it's an expense that ONLY applies to your office space (like specific office furniture or you're repainting your office), you can deduct the entire expense.

At Clarke CPA’s & Advisors LLC, we double-check all of your home office expenses to ensure you're getting all of the deductions you qualify for. 🏡

Before you buy that new blazer, you need to know this ↓

If your clothing is suitable for everyday wear, even if you don't intend to wear it outside of work, it's probably not deductible.

Not convinced? In Pevsner v. Commissioner, the IRS ruled that a YSL manager in Dallas who was required to wear YSL when working couldn't deduct her clothing expenses, because she technically could wear them for personal occasions.

PSA: Look at the top right-hand corner (or wherever the notice number is) of your IRS notice before you panic! 👀

Your notice number is going to help you understand exactly what the notice is (and whether you need to take any action).

Not every notice means you owe money: sometimes the IRS just wants to let you know about an adjustment they made to your return, or they want to request more information from you.

When in doubt, ask your tax accountant for help responding to your IRS notice to make sure any issues don't snowball into bigger tax bills! 💸

When you start your own business, the IRS basically says:

You're officially the boss AND the employee; please pay us both halves of Social Security and Medicare. 🫴

Tiny silver lining: the IRS lets you deduct half of it on your tax return (because they’re oh sooo generous 🙄).

Should I just elect to be taxed as an S corp to save on SE taxes?

It depends... You (or your accountant) need to run an analysis to determine whether the benefits of an S election outweigh the costs.

If you hadn't even heard of self-employment tax before this post (or you had, but kinda forgot), it's past time to hire a tax accountant!

"Isn't 1099 season in January?" - you, probably
You're not wrong...

BUT, prepping for 1099s is a year-round process for small business owners who don't want to be incredibly stressed come the last week of January! 📆

Here are the two things you can be doing NOW to make filing 1099s easier on you (and your accountant):

→ Make a list of every contractor you've paid $600 or more this year.

→ Ensure you have an updated W-9 on file for each of your contractors.

PRO TIP: Each time you hire a new contractor, make sure you get a W-9 before you pay them, and create a new vendor (with their EIN) in your bookkeeping software.
