Business owners often have more complex tax situations that can trigger an IRS audit. The good news is that with proper preparation, detailed records and professional guidance, you can make the process far less stressful. Some returns may be selected randomly, but the IRS also has some audit hot buttons. Examples include significant differences between current and prior-year returns, repeated business losses, profit margins and expenses that differ substantially from similar businesses, and mathematical errors. If you receive an IRS notice, don’t panic; call us at (940) 766-0981. We can help you understand the issues, gather the needed documents and respond to the inquiries effectively.

Simple mistakes can prevent you from reaching retirement goals. The biggest error is not saving enough. If you expect to maintain your current lifestyle in retirement — which could last three decades or more — you’ll need to accumulate a surprisingly large sum. We can help set up a savings plan you’ll stick to. Call us at (940) 766-0981.

Interim financial reports produced monthly or quarterly can provide your business with more timely information than year-end financial statements. You can use this data to spot emerging problems and opportunities. Compare each interim report with your budget and financial reporting from the same period of the previous year. Account for seasonality, but don’t focus solely on revenue. Higher labor costs or excessive discounting may increase sales while profit margins shrink. Unexpected results in interim reports don’t necessarily signal a crisis, but you should investigate them. Call us at (940) 766-0981 for help setting up interim reports and interpreting them.

If you want to sell your business, receiving the purchase price over time in an installment sale may allow you to spread your gain — and the related tax — over several years. The buyer typically makes a down payment and issues a note for the balance. Each principal payment generally includes a tax-free return of basis and taxable gain; interest on the note is taxed separately as ordinary income. This arrangement may also expand the pool of buyers or help you obtain a higher price. But depreciation recapture may be taxable upfront, and you assume the risk that the buyer won’t pay. Contact us at (940) 766-0981 to discuss the pros and cons and determine the optimal deal structure for your situation.

Do you donate thousands of dollars to charity each year? Do you miss out on the itemized charitable deduction because you don’t have enough total itemized deductions to exceed your standard deduction? Consider “bunching” most of your donations into alternating years. By combining two years of gifts into one year, you may push your itemized deductions above your standard deduction and get a greater tax benefit from your charitable giving — even with the new deduction for nonitemizers starting in 2026. Contact us at (940) 766-0981 for help determining if you can benefit from this strategy.

AI can help your business meet high customer service expectations without overburdening employees. It’s particularly effective for routine tasks. These include answering customers’ basic questions anytime on your website or social media accounts. AI can also help analyze and route customer requests to the right employees, and work behind the scenes to give staffers context and suggest next steps. Of course, AI is only as effective as how it’s trained and used. Your business should regularly test its systems, restrict access to confidential data and establish escalation rules. Call us at (940) 766-0981 for help calculating possible savings and finding affordable solutions.

Did you celebrate your 73rd birthday in 2026? If you have money in an IRA, 401(k), SEP or SIMPLE plan, you generally must take your first required minimum distribution (RMD) by this Dec. 31 (or, potentially, by April 1 of next year). RMDs are annual withdrawals of specified amounts based on your age and the account’s value at the end of the last tax year. For more information about managing retirement income, contact us at (940) 766-0981.

Limited partner status in a business generally offers valuable benefits, including liability protection and self-employment tax advantages. But it may also limit your ability to deduct partnership losses under the passive activity loss rules. Passive losses are usually deductible only against passive income unless you materially participate in the business. Limited partners face a tougher standard than general partners. Certain work, such as investor activities or tasks not customarily performed by owners, may not count toward material participation. Other limitations may also apply. Before investing in a limited partnership or claiming losses, contact us at (940) 766-0981 to discuss the tax implications.

10/14/2026

When employees change jobs, they often leave behind balances in a previous employer’s 401(k) plan. If your plan accepts rollovers, making it easier for eligible employees to move those balances into your plan can boost participation and engagement. Rollovers may also increase plan assets, which could help you negotiate lower plan services and fees. Meanwhile, providing departing and former employees with rollover instructions may reduce abandoned accounts and plan administration costs. Call us at (940) 766-0981 for guidance on managing your employer-sponsored retirement plan effectively.
