Start by looking at how your business is being charged.

Flat-rate providers can be simple, but they may not be the cheapest option once your card sales grow.

An interchange-plus plan can cut out the blended-rate markup, so youโ€™re not paying premium processing rates on transactions that may cost less to run.

You can also review:
โ€ข Whether large invoices could be paid by ACH
โ€ข Whether a dual-pricing setup makes sense
โ€ข Whether your merchant statement includes hidden fees
โ€ข Whether your current processor still fits your sales volume

A quick quarterly review can catch fees before they quietly drain cash flow.

When was the last time you looked closely at your merchant statement?

06/16/2026

The economy added 172,000 jobs in May.

So why does hiring still feel so hard for your business?

The report looked strong overall, but growth wasnโ€™t spread evenly across every industry.

If youโ€™re struggling to find employees, it might be time to look at the team you already have:

โ€ข Who could grow with a little training?
โ€ข What tasks could be shared differently?
โ€ข What tools could take pressure off the team?

When hiring feels stuck, start inside your own business.

For the American Opportunity Tax Credit, the answer comes down to whether you claim your child as a dependent. If you do, the credit goes on your return.

That can still be true even if your child paid some of the tuition with a summer job or student loans.

If your child is not your dependent and files their own return, they may be the one who claims the credit instead.

The student also has to meet IRS rules, including being enrolled at least half-time for at least one academic period and pursuing a degree, certificate, or other recognized credential.

Have you checked whether the credit belongs on your return or your studentโ€™s?

The American Opportunity Tax Credit can slash up to $2,500 off your tax bill for each eligible student in college. And it includes a "refundable" safety net, so even if you don't owe any taxes at the end of the year, the government will still send you a refund check for up to $1,000 of the leftover credit.

Expenses that ๐—ฑ๐—ผ ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ณ๐˜† for this are tuition, mandatory enrollment fees, required books, and required supplies and equipment. Room and board, meal plans, transportation, parking, and medical insurance ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ปโ€™๐˜ ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ณ๐˜†.

Also, if scholarships, Pell grants, or employer tuition assistance covered part of the cost, that tax-free money has to be subtracted from your qualified expenses.

College costs add up fast. Before you assume you do or donโ€™t qualify, itโ€™s worth checking which expenses actually count.

A new idea doesnโ€™t have to be perfect before you try it. But it does need to answer:
1. Who is this for?
2. What problem does it solve?
3. What would someone actually pay for?
4. Whatโ€™s the smallest way to try it?

A business is an opportunity to fill a need, so making sure you're clear on what need is being filled and how to actually charge for it is your basis for everything.

The employer credit for family and medical leave can range from 12.5% to 25% of the wages you pay while an employee is on leave.

But before the credit applies, the policy has to meet specific regulations.

To see if your business qualifies, weโ€™d need to review your leave plan, including:
โ€ข Who on your team qualifies based on compensation and hours
โ€ข Whether your written policy covers the right employees
โ€ข How your leave is funded
โ€ข Where your employees are physically located
โ€ข Whether your business can actually use the credit this year

Want to know whether your policy may qualify? Comment โ€œLEAVEโ€ and letโ€™s look at the tax side before you try to claim the credit.

Entrepreneurship is a big thing in our economy right now, especially with the major influx of content creators over the past few years.

But being an entrepreneur doesn't mean you need to wait for a big โ€œahaโ€ moment to start a successful business.

Sometimes a business idea simply comes from paying attention, asking better questions, and finding a need to fill.

Want help processing your business idea? Let's talk it out in the comments.

No. Even if youโ€™re legally married on December 31, the IRS considers you married for that tax year.

That means your federal filing options are: Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately.

You donโ€™t get to choose single just because you were single for part of the year.

If your relationship status changed this year, your tax filing status needs to change too.

Want to know whether filing jointly or separately makes more sense for your situation? Schedule an appointment and letโ€™s talk it through.
