A little paperwork now can save a lot of chasing later. 📝

If your business paid contractors, vendors, or service providers this year, check that you have their completed W-9s on file.

Missing one? Request it now - especially from someone you’re no longer working with.

These forms collect the name, address, and taxpayer ID needed to prepare accurate 1099s when required.

Dennis & Associates handles 1099 filings, and we’ll share more detailed guidance and deadlines in late November/early December.
✅ Your to-do for now: review your records and request any missing W-9s. Your January self will thank you!

👻 Ghost your ex, NOT your accountant! 😂

We couldn’t resist jumping on the “Ghost Your Ex” trend this Halloween!

But in all seriousness…this is NOT the time of year to ghost your accountant! 👀

We know April 15th feels like a long way off, but now is actually the perfect time to be thinking ahead!

Year-end tax planning is all about being proactive, not reactive. So before you disappear on us, make sure you’ve scheduled your year-end planning session! 😉

🎃 Happy Halloween from all of us at Dennis & Associates! 👻

Now that we’re in our “slow season,” we can loosen up and play a few games! ✋😂
We’ve been seeing the “Put a Finger Down” trend and had to try an accounting office edition.

Turns out, we have plenty of material.
Play along!
How many fingers did you put down and what “if you ever” truths did we miss? 👇

A retirement savings reminder worth checking! 💰

Starting in 2026, employees age 50+ whose 2025 F**A wages from their plan sponsor exceeded $150,000 must make catch-up contributions to their 401(k), 403(b), or governmental 457(b) on a Roth (after-tax) basis.

What does that mean?
These extra contributions won’t reduce your current taxable income, but qualified withdrawals—including earnings—are tax-free in retirement.
2026 catch-up limits, if your plan allows:
• $8,000 for ages 50–59 and 64+
• $11,250 for those turning 60–63 this year
This change applies to catch-up contributions, so you may still be able to make regular contributions pre-tax.

Check with HR or your plan administrator to confirm your options—especially if your plan doesn’t offer Roth contributions.

🎉 Happy 4-Year Work Anniversary, Nichole Noonan!

This month, we’re celebrating four years of Nichole, our Payroll Specialist!

Her favorite part of the job? Feeling like she’s helping people, something we’re grateful she brings to our team and our clients.
Her advice to family-owned business owners is simple: “Treat employees like family.” ❤️

Outside the office, Nichole enjoys baking, relaxing, and a marshmallow that’s extra toasted. And by extra toasted, we mean burnt! 🔥

Thank you, Nichole, for four years of dedication and care. We’re so happy you’re part of Team Dennis!

Selling an investment property?
The time to talk taxes is before you close.
🏡
A properly structured 1031 exchange may allow you to defer capital gains taxes when exchanging qualifying investment or business real estate for another qualifying property. But the order of events matters.

One critical step: have your qualified intermediary and exchange arrangements in place before the sale closes. Taking receipt or control of the sale proceeds can disqualify the exchange, even if you plan to reinvest the money.

Thinking about selling? Reach out to Dennis & Associates before you list. We can help you understand the tax implications and plan your next steps before a missed opportunity becomes an expensive mistake.
