Business owners often have more complex tax situations that can trigger an IRS audit. The good news is that with proper preparation, detailed records and professional guidance, you can make the process far less stressful. Some returns may be selected randomly, but the IRS also has some audit hot buttons. Examples include significant differences between current and prior-year returns, repeated business losses, profit margins and expenses that differ substantially from similar businesses, and mathematical errors. If you receive an IRS notice, don’t panic; call us at (517) 231-7566. We can help you understand the issues, gather the needed documents and respond to the inquiries effectively.

🍂 As the seasons change, it's a great time to get your financial affairs in order! 📊

Fall is a natural time to slow down, take stock, and prepare for the months ahead. It's also the perfect opportunity to give your personal or business finances a little attention before the year comes to a close.

🍁 Here are a few ways to get started:

✅ Review your budget — Are you on track to meet your financial goals?

✅ Organize your records — Gather receipts, bank statements, and important financial documents.

✅ Reconcile your accounts — Make sure your bank and credit card balances match your records.

✅ Review your bookkeeping — Catch errors, correct miscategorized transactions, and clean up your QuickBooks files.

✅ Get ahead of tax season — Start gathering the information you'll need now instead of scrambling when deadlines approach.

✅ Plan for the year ahead — Review your financial reports and identify opportunities to improve your bottom line.

🍂 A little preparation now can make year-end less stressful and help you start the new year on the right foot!

At Black Lab Accounting & Tax LLC, we help small businesses keep their books organized and their financial records ready for what's next.

Eligibility for Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) accounts has expanded to individuals whose blindness or disability began before age 46. Until this year, the blindness or disability had to have begun before age 26. As a result, many people who weren’t previously eligible can benefit from these accounts beginning in 2026. ABLE accounts offer tax-advantaged savings for qualified disability expenses. The 2026 contribution limit is generally $20,000. In some cases, 529 plan funds can be rolled over tax-free to ABLE accounts, counting toward the annual limit. Call us at (517) 231-7566 to learn more.

Watch out for the growing reach of the 3.8% net investment income tax (NIIT). The income thresholds haven’t changed since the tax took effect in 2013, so it’s hitting more taxpayers. If you have net investment income (NII) and your 2026 modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds $200,000 ($250,000 if you’re married and file jointly, half that if you file separately), you’ll be subject to the NIIT on the lesser of your NII or the amount by which your MAGI exceeds the applicable threshold. Some NII examples are taxable interest, dividends, and gains from stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Year-end planning may help reduce your MAGI or NII and, in turn, the NIIT’s impact. Call us at (517) 231-7566 to learn more.

😂☕ Relax… it’s Monday, not Judgment Day! 🐾

Take a deep breath. Sip your coffee. Make a list if you must — but remember, you don't have to conquer the entire world before lunchtime! 😉

Mondays are a fresh start, not a punishment. Give yourself a little grace, tackle one thing at a time, and remember that not everything needs to be an emergency.

At Black Lab Accounting & Tax LLC, we take the numbers seriously, but we also believe a little humor goes a long way! 💙

🐶 You've got this! And if all else fails, take a lesson from a dog: stretch, wag your tail, and enjoy the moment.

Happy Monday, everyone!

If you want to sell your business, receiving the purchase price over time in an installment sale may allow you to spread your gain — and the related tax — over several years. The buyer typically makes a down payment and issues a note for the balance. Each principal payment generally includes a tax-free return of basis and taxable gain; interest on the note is taxed separately as ordinary income. This arrangement may also expand the pool of buyers or help you obtain a higher price. But depreciation recapture may be taxable upfront, and you assume the risk that the buyer won’t pay. Contact us at (517) 231-7566 to discuss the pros and cons and determine the optimal deal structure for your situation.

✅ Organize receipts and documentation — Gather the records you'll need for tax preparation.

✅ Review fixed assets and inventory — Make sure additions, disposals, and year-end counts are accounted for.

✅ Plan ahead for taxes — Review your financial reports and connect with your tax professional about potential year-end adjustments.
