Beginning July 4, 2026, parents, grandparents and others can contribute to Trump Accounts (TAs) for the benefit of eligible children. Certain children born 2025–2028 may also qualify for a $1,000 starter deposit from the federal government. TA contributions are generally limited to $5,000 per year (not counting the government deposit) and aren’t tax deductible. But earnings grow tax-deferred. At age 18, the TA will become a traditional IRA. For education goals, options like 529 plans may be better, because qualified education withdrawals are tax-free. Contact us at (330) 492-3857 to discuss what fits your family.

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 (330) 492-3857 to discuss how to reach your retirement savings goals.

Does your business provide complimentary on-site food and beverages for employees? The rules for deducting certain business meals have changed. Beginning in 2026, employers generally can’t deduct 1) meals treated as de minimis fringe benefits, or 2) employer-provided meals that are excludable from an employee’s income and provided for the employer’s convenience on business premises. For the 2025 tax year, generally the former were 100% deductible and the latter were 50% deductible. Contact us at (330) 492-3857 to discuss whether this change will affect your company and how to plan accordingly.

The IRS has issued final regulations on the tax deduction for qualified cash tips. The legislation commonly known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” created the deduction of up to $25,000 per year for 2025 through 2028. Qualified tips generally refer to cash tips received by an individual in an occupation that “customarily and regularly” received tips on or before Dec. 31, 2024. The final regs list more than 70 eligible occupations. In addition to occupations previously listed in the proposed regs, the final regs add visual artists, floral designers and gas pump attendants. The final regs also provide clarifications to the definition of a qualified cash tip. For more details, call us at (330) 492-3857.

A summer job is a great way for teens to earn extra cash, but it also comes with tax responsibilities. Anyone with self-employed income over $400, such as earnings from mowing lawns or babysitting, must file an income tax return and may owe self-employment tax. If a teen works for an employer that withholds payroll taxes, the filing threshold is higher: $16,100 for 2026. In this case, the teen usually won’t owe income tax and may receive a refund if taxes were withheld. Call us at (330) 492-3857 with questions.

Starting in 2026, the tax rules for the personal casualty loss deduction are changing. While the deduction remains limited mainly to disaster-related losses, eligibility is expanding beyond federally declared disasters to include certain state-declared disasters. Because the rules are complicated and additional limits apply, review your situation with us. We can help determine whether you’re eligible for a casualty loss deduction. Contact us at (330) 492-3857.

The stepped-up basis rules can reduce capital gains tax for family members who inherit your assets. Under these rules, when your loved one inherits an asset, its tax basis is “stepped up” to its fair market value at the time of your death. If the heir later sells the asset, he or she will owe capital gains tax only on any appreciation after your date of death, rather than on the entire gain since you acquired it. Investment accounts, business interests, real estate and personal property are among the assets affected by the stepped-up basis rules. Call us at (330) 492-3857 for details.

For small business owners, tax planning shouldn’t be a once-a-year chore. It affects nearly every business decision you make.

With major tax law changes taking effect in 2026, now’s the time to be proactive, not reactive. We can help you understand which strategies, deductions and credits matter most for your business. Call us at (330) 492-3857 to learn how smart planning today can lead to long-term tax savings.

06/13/2026

If the IRS audits your income tax return, you may need to produce documentation. In general, the IRS has three years to assess additional tax, starting from the date the return was filed or due, whichever is later. For example, if you filed your 2022 return by the April 18 deadline in 2023, the IRS generally has until April 18, 2026, to assess a tax deficiency. So you potentially can discard records related to that return after April 2026. But records should be held longer in certain situations. And you should keep copies of your returns forever. Call us at (330) 492-3857 with questions.
