Many parents don’t know that the “kiddie tax” exists. Others assume it affects only minor children. But it also can apply to full-time students through age 23 and 18-year-olds even if they aren’t full-time students. When it applies, the child’s unearned income in excess of $2,700 (for 2026) is taxed at the parent’s tax rate, if higher. If your child has investment income from custodial accounts, consider reviewing the types of investments in those accounts. Growth-oriented investments that generate little current income may help reduce exposure to the kiddie tax until your child is old enough that the tax no longer applies. If you’d like help evaluating your family’s situation, call us at (702) 898-9000.

When you’re busy running a business, it’s easy to overlook or dismiss the warning signs of financial distress. Rising employee turnover can signal internal strain. Cash flow issues may indicate slow collections or weak working capital practices. And sudden external shifts — such as interest rate volatility, cost increases or supply chain disruptions — can take a toll on otherwise healthy businesses. Supplementing your company’s year-end financial statements with interim reports or targeted agreed-upon procedures can help you spot problems early and take prompt corrective action. Contact us at (702) 898-9000 to learn more.

It can be tough for small businesses to borrow money at favorable terms. But the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) offers several loan programs to help small businesses grow and create jobs. SBA loans of up to $5.5 million may be available and typically offer competitive interest rates and terms. Applying and qualifying for an SBA loan may also be easier than for conventional loans. The most popular type is the 7(a) loan, which can be used for most business purposes, including asset purchases and debt refinancing. The microloan program offers loans of up to $50,000. Call us at (702) 898-9000to help determine the right option for your business.

If you participate in a company 401(k) plan, there may be an option to add to your retirement nest egg that you’re not aware of: after-tax, non-Roth contributions. These contributions aren’t subject to the annual elective deferral limit ($24,500 for 2026, plus catch-up contributions if you’re age 50 or older). So, if your plan allows, you can make them after you’ve maxed out your deferral limit, including catch-up contributions, if applicable. They create tax basis in your account that can eventually be withdrawn tax-free. And growth on the money won’t be taxed until you start taking withdrawals. We can review your situation and help you determine whether you might benefit. Contact us at (702) 898-9000.

For the 12 months ending in April 2026, the U.S. inflation rate was 3.8%. Rising inflation can make managing a business challenging, yet you can still thrive by making prudent cost cuts and acting if opportunities arise. You might, for example, reduce expenses by switching vendors, cutting overtime hours or moving offices. Be sure to assess inflation’s effect on each product line and determine whether your product mix still makes sense. Then decide whether you should raise prices (just be sure to give customers fair notice). For help evaluating your current financial situation and developing additional inflation-fighting strategies, call us at (702) 898-9000.

If you donate artwork to charity, the deduction you can claim depends on several factors, including the type of organization receiving the piece and how it will be used. Your deduction will generally be reduced if the charity’s use of the artwork is unrelated to the purpose or function that’s the basis for its qualification as a tax-exempt organization. The reduction equals the amount of capital gain you would have realized had you sold the artwork instead of giving it to charity. Other deduction limits as well as special substantiation and appraisal rules also may apply. If you’re considering donating artwork or other valuable property, contact us at (702) 898-9000 for help ensuring the best tax outcome.
