The Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) program offers tax breaks on capital gains from eligible long-term investments in designated low-income and rural communities. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act made the QOZ program permanent and established a new 10-year designation cycle. The IRS has issued guidance on how to nominate population census tracts for designation as QOZs. The next round of QOZs will be effective from Jan. 1, 2027, to Dec. 31, 2036. Generally, state and territory governors can begin nominating eligible census tracts for QOZ designation on July 1, 2026. The nomination period lasts 90 days, with the option of a single 30-day extension. Contact us at (914) 668-7800 with any questions about QOZ tax breaks.

If you’d like to arrange for a transfer of wealth through multiple generations, consider a dynasty trust. Assets are taxed just once, when they’re initially transferred to the trust. There’s no estate or generation-skipping transfer tax due on any subsequent appreciation in value. A drawback is that the trust is irrevocable. This means it generally can never be revised. Call us at (914) 668-7800 for more details.

Imagine if a fraud perpetrator wiped out your 401(k) account balance overnight. Would you still be able to retire?

But you can protect your hard-earned savings! Call us (914) 668-7800 for retirement planning help.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how almost everything is done, including how fraud is committed. For example, a scammer might use AI to generate “deepfake” voices or “spoof” caller ID information to impersonate IRS agents. AI also makes it easier for perpetrators to establish robocall networks. (The IRS always stresses that it will contact taxpayers via U.S. mail about any tax issues. It won’t leave urgent voice messages or threaten arrest.) Fraud aside, the IRS warns against relying on AI-generated responses to complex tax questions. Be sure to verify AI answers by reviewing IRS instructions and crunching any numbers yourself. Better yet, call us at (914) 668-7800 for assistance.

Today’s finance and accounting (F&A) teams are under significant pressure. Tight deadlines, lean staffing, evolving regulations and growing compliance demands can lead to burnout, errors and turnover. Retention isn’t just about compensation. Practical operational improvements can make a real difference. Consider automating repetitive tasks, clarifying approval workflows, cross-training staff to ease bottlenecks and leveraging external resources during peak times. When your F&A team has the right structure and support, they’re more productive, accurate and engaged. Call us at (914) 668-7800 to brainstorm cost-effective ways to strengthen your financial operations.

Can business debt become personal? In some cases, yes. If you’re a sole proprietor or a general partner in a partnership, you’re personally liable for business debts. Owners of corporations and limited liability companies are generally protected from personal liability, unless they personally guarantee a loan, commit fraud or fail to keep business and personal finances separate. Payroll taxes are different. The IRS can assess the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty to hold owners, officers or other responsible individuals personally liable for unpaid withheld payroll taxes, regardless of the business structure. This applies even if the business declares bankruptcy. Call us at (914) 668-7800 with questions.

Historical financial statements show where your business has been, but forecasts and projections help you plan where it’s going. These terms aren’t interchangeable. A forecast reflects management’s best estimates of future financial results based on expected conditions and planned actions. Some businesses may even share forecasts with their lenders and investors. By contrast, a projection explores hypothetical “what if” scenarios under alternative assumptions and can be particularly beneficial for internal planning and decision-making. Contact us at (914) 668-7800 to determine the right approach for your business needs.

A temporary federal income tax deduction for interest on qualifying auto loans for 2025 through 2028 was created by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The write-off, available even if you don’t itemize, is capped at $10,000 per tax return, subject to income-based phaseouts. It applies only to interest on first-lien loans to buy U.S.-assembled passenger vehicles for personal use. Leased, used and fleet vehicles are excluded. The IRS recently issued proposed regulations that clarify how the deduction works. For example, they address the “personal use” requirement. Contact us for details at (914) 668-7800.

Trying to catch up? Employees age 50 and older are allowed to make extra, “catch-up” contributions to their 401(k) and similar plans. In 2026, you can generally contribute an additional $8,000, for an annual maximum of $32,500. And, if you turn age 60, 61, 62 or 63 this year, you can contribute up to $35,750! However, there’s a catch. Recent tax law changes require certain high earners to invest catch-up contributions in a post-tax Roth account, such as a Roth 401(k). This may require additional planning. Call us at (914) 668-7800 to discuss how to reach your retirement savings goals.
