If your child is getting ready for college, it’s a good time to take a fresh look at how education expenses can impact your tax situation. Many families don’t realize how interconnected these rules are, and missing small details can add up.

These pieces often overlap, so reviewing them as one big picture can help you avoid surprises and stay ahead on tax planning.

Important updates for business owners:

• BOI reporting: U.S.-formed companies and their U.S. beneficial owners generally are no longer required to file, update, or correct Beneficial Ownership Information reports with FinCEN. Certain foreign entities registered to do business in the U.S. may still have reporting requirements.

• Trump Accounts: Employers may be able to make tax-advantaged contributions of up to $2,500 annually to eligible Trump Accounts for employees or their dependents. These programs require proper plan documents and compliance with applicable rules.

Questions about how these updates may affect your business? We’re here to help.

As we wrap up another year, it's a great time to revisit some of the tax planning opportunities that can make a big difference for small business owners. One area our team often reviews with clients is whether their current entity structure is still the best fit.

As your business grows, the setup you started with may not be the most tax-efficient anymore. Sole proprietorships, partnerships, LLCs, and S corporations all impact taxes differently depending on your income, payroll, and owner compensation. A review can help clarify how each choice affects self-employment taxes, reporting requirements, and long-term planning.

Our team at M. Hughes, CPA & Company, LLC is here to help you understand your options and see whether your current structure is working in your favor. If you're unsure whether it's time to make a change, reach out — we'd be happy to walk through the numbers with you.

As a Warren RI CPA firm, we know how stressful that can feel, which is why our team put together a quick breakdown of which records are worth keeping and how they can support smoother tax preparation and long-term tax planning.

Understanding what to save can make a big difference for individuals and small businesses across Bristol County and the South Coast. Swipe through the overview and let us know what surprised you most.

If you have questions about your own documents or bookkeeping needs, our team at M. Hughes, CPA & Company, LLC is always here to help.

Year-end tax planning can sneak up fast, and our team knows how stressful that last-minute scramble can feel. Getting an early start gives your business more flexibility to make smart financial decisions and avoid rushing when options are limited.

One of the best ways to get ahead is by running a year-end tax projection. It helps estimate where your income may land and whether it makes sense to accelerate expenses, defer income, adjust estimated payments, or boost retirement contributions.

At M. Hughes, CPA & Company, LLC, we help businesses across Warren, Bristol, Barrington, and the South Coast of Massachusetts understand their numbers before the calendar year closes. If you’re ready to run a projection or want guidance on your next steps, we’re here to help.

Travel expenses can get tricky, and not every cost from a business trip qualifies as deductible. That’s where many small businesses run into issues.

Our team at M. Hughes, CPA & Company, LLC is breaking down a few common travel expenses that typically don’t make the cut, helping you keep your bookkeeping clean and your tax preparation stress-free.

If you’re unsure about what to include or want clearer guidance for your Rhode Island or Bristol County taxes, we’re here to help. Call us at (401) 289-3888 and let’s go through it together.
