Individuals with sizable estates can breathe a sigh of relief when it comes to the federal estate tax. Currently, the federal gift and estate tax exemption is $13.99 million for individuals ($27.98 million for married couples). This exemption was scheduled to revert to $5 million (plus inflation adjustments) in 2026. But under the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act, it has been made permanent. For 2026, the exemption will rise to $15 million ($30 million for married couples) and will be adjusted annually for inflation after that. This much-needed certainty provides planning flexibility and enables affluent families to preserve their wealth across generations. Questions? Contact us at (479) 926-1040.

Starting in 2025, the cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions increases from $10,000 ($5,000 for married couples filing separately) to $40,000 ($20,000 for separate filers). If your 2026 property taxes have already been assessed, prepaying them in 2025 could help you maximize your 2025 deduction. But keep in mind that the cap is reduced for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross incomes over $500,000 ($250,000 for separate filers). Let us help you determine how to incorporate the increased SALT deduction limit into your tax planning. Call us at (479) 926-1040.

Engaging independent contractors can be a smart business strategy under the right circumstances. For example, your company might experience a seasonal upswing in workload or require specialized skills for a short period. However, there can be negative tax consequences if you inadvertently mishandle the relationship and the IRS can recharacterize an independent contractor as an employee. Please contact us at (479) 926-1040 for help understanding the tax implications and staying in compliance.

Businesses involved in some clean energy projects and products are hurt by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. That’s because it accelerates the phaseout of certain tax credits and adds new restrictions to tax breaks related to solar, wind, and hydrogen power and electric vehicle charging stations. The dates that clean energy tax breaks end vary. Some may be available until 2026 or 2027. Contact us at (479) 926-1040 if you have questions about your situation. The date that projects begin construction is critical.

Being prepared for disasters is always important. But the IRS warns that you should also be on the alert for an uptick in scams aimed both at survivors and those who donate to help them. Scammers often sweep in after a disaster to solicit donations. They may pose as employees of federal agencies or legitimate charities. In many cases, they ask for donations by gift cards, cash or wire transfers. Scammers may also set up bogus websites with names similar to real charities and make false claims that your donations are tax-deductible. Contact us at (479) 926-1040 with questions about charitable gifts. Use the IRS's Tax Exempt Organization Search tool to verify a charity’s status and learn more details here: https://bit.ly/4pgYYiS

A qualified personal residence trust (QPRT) allows you to give your home to your children today while enjoying the right to live there for a set number of years. The home is removed from your taxable estate at a reduced value for gift tax purposes (provided you survive the trust’s term). At the end of the term, your beneficiaries own the home. You may continue to live there beyond the end of the term if the trustees or owners agree and you pay fair market rent. Contact us at (479) 926-1040 with questions about QPRTs or other estate planning ideas for reducing taxes.

Sure, 401(k) plans can help you save for a secure retirement. But they may offer another important benefit — hardship withdrawals. If you need emergency cash for medical bills, tuition or funeral costs (among other eligible expenses), you may be able to withdraw funds from your 401(k) account. Unlike loans, hardship withdrawals don’t have to be repaid. But you'll need to pay income tax and possibly a 10% early withdrawal penalty. Contact us (479) 926-1040 for details.

Severe weather and other threats to a business’s ability to operate can occur at any time. Although you can’t foresee every disaster, you can put together a comprehensive business continuity plan that addresses most potential threats. If you don’t have a plan in place, implement basic protections immediately, such as an evacuation strategy and insurance. But, from there, take your time to get it right. Contact us at (479) 926-1040 for help identifying and managing the costs associated with a business continuity plan.

Adopting a child is expensive, but adoptive parents may qualify for a tax break to offset some of the costs. Under the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), the tax break got better for some parents. For 2025, the maximum adoption credit is $17,280 of qualified expenses, with phaseouts for higher-income parents. Under prior law, the credit was nonrefundable, meaning that it was limited to the taxpayer’s federal tax liability. However, under the OBBBA, up to $5,000 of the adoption credit is refundable, starting in 2025. After 2025, the refundable amount will be indexed for inflation. Any nonrefundable amount can be carried forward. There may also be state tax benefits. Questions? Contact us at (479) 926-1040.
