💰 Social Security taxes are going up again this year.

The Social Security wage base has increased to $184,500 for 2026, meaning higher earners could pay up to $11,439 in Social Security taxes this year. Self-employed individuals could pay up to $22,878. 📈

While wages above the limit are no longer subject to Social Security tax, Medicare taxes continue with no cap. Understanding how these changes impact your paycheck, tax planning, and retirement strategy is important — especially for business owners and high-income earners.

Now is a great time to review:
✔️ Payroll withholding
✔️ Estimated tax payments
✔️ Self-employment tax exposure
✔️ Retirement contribution strategies

Have questions about how these changes may affect you or your business? Contact our firm — we’re here to help you plan proactively and avoid surprises.

☀️ Sending the kids to summer camp this year? It could come with a tax benefit.

Many parents don’t realize that certain summer day camps may qualify for the Child & Dependent Care Tax Credit — helping offset some childcare expenses while you work. 🧾

Here are a few important things to know:

✅ Summer day camps may qualify
✅ Specialty camps (sports, arts, STEM, etc.) may also qualify
❌ Overnight camps do NOT qualify
✅ The credit may help reduce your tax liability dollar-for-dollar

Recent tax law changes may also expand benefits for some taxpayers beginning in 2026, making tax planning even more important for families. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Before summer expenses add up, now is a great time to review:
📌 Eligibility requirements
📌 Dependent care credits
📌 Flexible spending account opportunities
📌 Documentation you should keep for tax season

Our team is here to help you maximize available tax-saving opportunities and plan ahead with confidence.

Contact us today with questions about childcare expenses and tax credits.

🌼 May was action-packed for GSNENY! 🌼

The girls kicked off the month with an exciting adventure on the low ropes course, where they practiced teamwork, balance, communication, and problem-solving while encouraging one another every step of the way. 💚🤝

In mid-May, the troop had the opportunity to visit the local fire department and learn all about fire safety. The girls explored the fire trucks, met local firefighters, learned important emergency preparedness tips, and even got to try on real firefighter gear! 🚒🔥👩‍🚒

The girls also proudly participated in the Memorial Day Parade, honoring the brave men and women who have served our country. They decorated a beautifully detailed float that was recognized as the most patriotic float in the parade! It was a wonderful opportunity to show community spirit while reflecting on the true meaning of Memorial Day. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

May wrapped up with a special Girl Scout Bridging Ceremony, where the girls celebrated their accomplishments, reflected on the memories they made throughout the year, and looked ahead to new adventures and opportunities in the next level of Girl Scouting. It was a meaningful evening filled with pride, friendship, and excitement for the future. 🌉💚✨

What a fantastic month of learning, leadership, service, and fun!

💡 Looking for ways to fund growth in 2026 without overpaying in interest?

With borrowing costs still elevated, many business owners are rethinking how they access capital. The good news? Traditional bank loans aren’t your only option. 📊

As we move through 2026, smart businesses are exploring strategies like:
✔️ SBA financing programs
✔️ Business lines of credit
✔️ Equipment financing
✔️ Invoice financing
✔️ Local and industry grant opportunities
✔️ Improving cash flow before applying
✔️ Strengthening financial reporting and credit readiness

Access to affordable capital can make a major difference when it comes to hiring, expansion, inventory purchases, technology upgrades, and navigating unexpected expenses.

Before signing onto high-interest financing, take time to evaluate all of your options and develop a funding strategy that supports long-term business health — not just short-term cash flow. 🚀

Our firm helps business owners evaluate financing opportunities, improve lender readiness, and make strategic financial decisions with confidence.

Contact us today to discuss your business goals and financing options for 2026.
