For donors, this creates a new opportunity to support education while potentially reducing their federal tax liability. For nonprofits, it introduces new eligibility and compliance requirements worth understanding before the program takes effect.

In RGCO’s latest blog post, Lindsey Earling, explains how the credit works and what donors and nonprofit organizations should know as additional IRS guidance develops.

"My CPA does my taxes." 💡

That may be the most visible part of the relationship, and a CPA can be a valuable resource well beyond filing season.

For business owners, decisions come up throughout the year that carry both financial and tax implications. Involving your CPA early gives you a clearer view of the impact before a decision is made, not after.

A strong CPA relationship continues throughout the year as new business decisions come up.

If you have a business decision on the horizon, reach out to the RGCO team.

Year-end tax planning often begins long before year-end. 📊

October gives business owners a chance to take stock of where things stand and project where they expect to be by year-end.

Your tax situation can change throughout the year, making it important to understand how those changes may affect your year-end position.

Time is one of the most valuable tools in tax planning. Reviewing your position now gives you more time to make informed decisions before the year closes.

If you have questions about your tax position, the RGCO team is here to help.

Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a reminder that digital safety is part of modern business. 🔐

Workplace communication, file sharing, payment systems, and other digital tools make our work more efficient. They also create more opportunities for sensitive information to be exposed.

Strong passwords and multi-factor authentication can make a meaningful difference. Taking a moment to verify an unexpected request can also keep sensitive information out of the wrong hands.

Cybersecurity is most effective when it becomes part of how your organization operates every day.

A few extra seconds to check something now can help protect your organization and the people who depend on it.

Tax planning and financial planning are connected, and each serves a different purpose. 💡

Financial planning helps provide context for where you are and where you want to go. It gives structure to the financial decisions that support your long-term goals.

Tax planning analyzes the consequences of those decisions in terms of the impact they will have on your taxes, and whether there are opportunities to make choices that provide a tax advantage.

The two work in harmony for business owners. Business decisions can affect the owner's personal tax liability, so planning ahead helps the business owner understand the implications before making a decision.

Proactive planning gives you the ability to make decisions with a clear view of what comes next.

The strongest tax outcomes often begin well before a filing deadline.

An audit serves more than one purpose. 📊

An audit can help an organization examine its internal controls and review its financial reporting. For nonprofits, an audit provides financial reporting that supports boards of directors in their oversight responsibilities.

As a business grows, an audit may become necessary when a financing opportunity brings additional financial scrutiny.

Whether an organization needs an audit depends on its financial reporting needs.
