The IRS considers a paper return that’s due April 15 to be timely filed if it’s postmarked by midnight. Sounds straightforward, but let’s say you mail your return with a payment on April 15, and the envelope gets lost. You don’t figure this out and refile until a couple of months later. Despite your efforts to timely file and pay, you can still be hit with both failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties. One way to minimize this risk is to use certified or registered mail or an IRS-approved private delivery service. A better way is to work with a tax professional who’ll e-file your return and help ensure you claim every break you’re entitled to while staying compliant with tax law. Contact us at (818) 920-0633 to start your 2025 return.

The IRS and the Security Summit are warning taxpayers that during tax filing season identity thieves are poised to scam people into sharing personal information to file false tax returns and steal refunds. Specific threats include phishing emails and smishing texts, where the thief impersonates a legitimate organization in the tax community, such as the IRS, a state agency or a tax software company, to try to convince the target to provide personal information, click on harmful links or send money. Having an Identity Protection (IP) PIN can protect taxpayers from tax-related identity theft. Anyone with an SSN or an ITIN can get an IP PIN. For more information, contact us at (818) 920-0633.

For small business owners, investing in new equipment, expanding facilities or launching a new product can be a big decision. With limited funds, it’s essential to pinpoint the opportunities that deliver the most value. Financial models like accounting payback, net present value and internal rate of return offer a disciplined, data-driven approach to evaluating your options. We can help you apply these models to make confident, informed capital-budgeting decisions that fuel long-term success. Call us at (818) 920-0633 to get started.

Income investments can play a key role in a diversified portfolio, so it’s important to be aware of their tax treatment. Qualified dividends are taxed at favorable long-term capital gains tax rates. But interest income is generally taxed at ordinary income rates, which can be as high as 37%. So stocks that pay qualified dividends may be more attractive tax-wise than other income investments, such as CDs and taxable bonds. We can help assess the tax consequences of your investment strategy. Call us at (818) 920-0633.

Grantor-retained annuity trusts (GRATs) and grantor-retained unitrusts (GRUTs) allow you to give assets to your children today while you receive payments back from the trust for a specified term. And, provided you survive the trust’s term, you’ll remove the assets from your taxable estate at a reduced value for gift tax purposes. At the end of the term, the principal may pass to the beneficiaries or remain in the trust. Contact us at (818) 920-0633 for additional details.

When natural disasters strike, tax deadlines shouldn’t add to your stress. Generally, taxpayers have had three years from the April filing deadline for the tax year to claim a credit or refund for overpaid taxes. But when the IRS extended filing deadlines for disasters such as wildfires, floods or hurricanes, the three-year period didn’t always adjust accordingly. The Disaster Related Extension of Deadlines Act, signed into law on Dec. 26, 2025, addresses this issue. Now, when the IRS extends filing deadlines due to federally declared disasters, the period to claim refunds and credits is also extended. The new law also aligns payment deadlines with filing relief. Call us (818) 920-0633 at with questions.

02/04/2026

Many of the major tax provisions signed into law in 2025 start taking effect in 2026. How has the tax landscape changed for you or your business since last year? Contact us at (818) 920-0633 and we’ll give you the lay of the land, including how you can potentially claim tax credits and deductions.

Your first “real” job, living on your own, meeting new people … all of this can make young adulthood exciting but stressful. Accumulating a sizeable retirement nest egg doesn’t have to be. Contribute as much as you can (up to $24,500 in 2026) to your employer’s 401(k) plan. Then watch as time and the compounding power of reinvesting earnings do their work. The longer your time horizon, the better! Contact us at (818) 920-0633 for more advice on planning for your financial future.

In a divorce, a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO) allows retirement plan assets to be transferred to a spouse without dire tax consequences. A court issues a QDRO, which states a dollar amount or a percentage of assets that belongs to the spouse. It also specifies the number of payments to be made (or the length of time for the terms to apply). Contact us at (818) 920-0633 for details.

The IRS has issued the 2026 cents-per-mile rates for calculating tax-deductible vehicle operating costs. Effective Jan. 1, 2026, the standard mileage rate for the business use of a car, van, pickup truck or panel truck is 72.5 cents per mile. (This is up from 70 cents per mile for 2025.) The 2026 rate for medical or eligible moving purposes is 20.5 cents per mile. (This is down from 21 cents per mile for 2025.) For charitable driving, the 2026 rate is 14 cents per mile (unchanged from 2025). These rates apply to gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles as well as electric and hybrid ones. To protect your deduction, don’t forget to keep detailed mileage records. Contact us at (818) 920-0633 for more information on when mileage is deductible.

Beginning in 2025, businesses can once again deduct domestic research and experimental (R&E) expenses in the year they’re incurred, rather than amortizing them over five years. In addition, “small businesses” can file amended returns to claim the deduction retroactively for 2022 through 2024. Regardless of size, businesses that incurred domestic R&E expenses in 2022 through 2024 can elect to accelerate the remaining deductions for those expenditures over a one- or two-year period. If your business has incurred domestic R&E expenses in any of these years, call us at (818) 920-0633 to discuss how these changes can help boost your cash flow.

A standard IRA makes an excellent retirement savings tool, so long as you’re satisfied with plain vanilla investments such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds. If your tastes run spicier, you might want to consider opening a self-directed traditional or Roth IRA. These vehicles offer similar tax benefits but also accept investments in closely held business interests, commodities, precious metals and real estate. Contact us at (818) 920-0633 to learn more about the advantages (and a few risks) associated with self-directed IRAs.
