It's the write-off that you DO NOT have proof for! 🧾

The IRS wants you to back up the business purpose, amount, date, and payee/payor of your deductions.

If you can't substantiate your expense with a receipt, contract, mileage log, or other acceptable record, the IRS could disallow it.

Then, you paid for the expense, AND you don't get to deduct it!

That's why I'm such a stickler on documentation; I don't want you to miss out on any of the write-offs you qualify for.

Remember all that talk about the One Big Beautiful Bill last summer?

If you've been filing your tax return, assuming all the "defaults" are the same as normal, you're in for a wake-up call this tax season! ⏰

The IRS has been rolling out new guidance + updates to the tax return you're filing right now.

Here are just a few changes you need to know:

💰 Updated standard deductions for every filing status

💰 New temporary deduction for qualified tips, qualified overtime

💰 New interest deduction for certain qualifying car loans

There's no operating on a "same as last year" mentality.

A big focus at Tranquil Transactions this year is walking our clients through how the OBBB will impact their refund expectations and future tax planning.

Let's talk about a few expenses I see a lot of wellness business owners try to write off... but the IRS isn't going to let them slide.

→ Donations to political organizations.

→ IRS penalties (or any other fines/penalties paid to the government).

Unfortunately, that parking ticket you got while in a business meeting is NOT deductible. 🚔

→ Country club dues + membership fees (if the primary purpose of the club is business, pleasure, recreation, or social).

But, there are exceptions for organizations like business leagues, chambers of commerce, and trade associations (best practice: check with your accountant on these).

→ Federal income taxes.

When in doubt, ask a trusted CPA like me for help!

If there's no way you'll get together all your 1099s, W-2s, and other tax docs by April, the IRS has a handy solution: filing an extension.

Three things you need to know?

First, filing a tax extension is NOT a bad thing. It actually helps you avoid late filing penalties!

Second, you don't need to give a reason to the IRS for why you extended. You automatically get your extension when you file Form 4868.

PRO TIP: E-file it so you have an electronic confirmation for your records. 📧

And third, an extension only applies to your filing date. The due date to pay your taxes remains the same, so don't forget to make your payment. If you don't, you can rack up late payment penalties + interest.

If you sold your home (or a rental property) last year, here's what your tax accountant needs:

→ 1099-S: This form reports your proceeds from the sale of your house. If you received this form, your accountant needs it to make sure they report any required info on your tax return.

→ HUD Statement (or Closing Disclosure): This document helps your accountant calculate any gain/loss on your sale.

Depending on the nature of the sale, your accountant might ask for additional info, like how long you lived in the house before the sale, and whether or not it was your primary residence, to determine whether you can exclude any taxable gain.

Receipts for major improvements, property taxes, and mortgage interest paid can also be helpful! 🧾

Sold your house? I can help make sure it shows up on your tax return the right way!

One of the biggest perks of self-employment is write-offs, right?!

The problem is, I keep seeing misguided (or straight up WRONG) advice around when you can write off your morning coffee. ☕

The IRS is actually pretty strict on this; a solo coffee run to your local Starbucks generally doesn't count.

But here are a few instances where your morning coffee *can* qualify for a 50% tax deduction:

☕ You're meeting with a client, potential client, employee, vendor, or other similar business contact to discuss business over coffee.

☕ You're traveling on business, away from your tax home, overnight.

In both instances, you need to substantiate (provide proof) that your purchase was a qualifying business expense by documenting the amount, date, location, and business purpose.

When in doubt, ask a qualified tax accountant to ensure you stay in compliance!

If you were to do these three *tiny* things this tax season, it would make a HUGE difference to me:

1️⃣ Send PDF versions of your full statements when possible (instead of screenshots or partial pages).

2️⃣ Let me know about any big life changes (moving states, starting a new business, buying/selling a home, etc.).

3️⃣ Don't leave me hanging for weeks on end when I email you with questions for your return. The sooner you answer, the sooner we can file!

We both have the same goal: making your tax season as easy + stress-free as possible!

If you’re ready for structure, let’s talk.

Let's start with the official IRS rule: you can claim qualifying medical expenses only if you itemize your deductions on Schedule A, and even then, you can only deduct the unreimbursed amount that exceeds 7.5% of your AGI.

A little confusing?

Let's break down each part of that rule! ↓

Right off the bat, if you take the standard deduction, you can keep scrolling! Deducting medical expenses on Schedule A isn't for you.

Okay, now let's talk qualifying medical expenses: per the IRS, they are "the costs of diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, and for the purpose of affecting any part or function of the body."

Think expenses like doctor visits, dentist appointments, hospital services, and prescription meds!

This is key: only unreimbursed expenses are deductible here.

So, if a portion of an otherwise qualifying medical expense is covered by your insurance, you can't deduct that portion.

And then the final tricky part, you can only deduct the amount of total qualifying expenses that are OVER 7.5% of your adjusted gross income.

Yes, that's a calculation I can definitely do for you!

If you’re contributing to a 401(k), IRA, or another qualifying retirement account, you may also qualify for the Retirement Savings Contribution Credit, commonly known as the Saver’s Credit.

This credit can reduce your tax bill simply for investing in your future but eligibility depends on your income and filing status.

If you’re not sure whether you qualify or how much of a credit you may be entitled to, this is exactly the kind of detail we look at during tax planning.
