Attention, small business owners: As you wrap up your 2025 tax filings and begin planning for 2026, remember that many previously temporary tax law provisions are now permanent. And new opportunities may be available to help reduce your tax burden. If you’re ready to take a smart, strategic approach to the year ahead, we’re here to guide you. Contact us at (601) 707-7536.

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 (601) 707-7536 to learn more about the advantages (and a few risks) associated with self-directed IRAs.

Your marital status affects many federal tax filing variables, including your standard deduction, credit eligibility and tax owed. If you’re currently “informally” separated from your spouse but still legally married, the IRS generally considers you married for the entire year (even if you’ve lived apart for many months). Unless you divorced or legally separated by Dec. 31, 2025, you must file as married filing jointly or married filing separately for the 2025 tax year. If, on the other hand, you finalized a divorce or legal separation in 2025, you should file as single or, if eligible, head of household. Call us at (601) 707-7536 if you have questions about filing your tax return.

02/18/2026

When you file your 2025 income tax return, you can deduct your charitable donations only if you itemize deductions. But beginning with donations made in 2026, people who take the standard deduction instead of itemizing can claim a charitable deduction of up to $1,000 ($2,000 for married couples filing jointly). Only “cash” donations qualify, but the definition may be broader than you think. It includes gifts made by debit or credit card, check, ACH, online payment platform and payroll deduction. Call us at (601) 707-7536 to discuss what you can deduct on your 2025 return and your donation strategy for 2026.

02/16/2026

You may have heard you need at least $1 million (or $750,000 or $3 million or another number) saved before you retire. The truth is, “your number” is specific to you. How much you need for a secure and fulfilling post-work life depends on factors such as your current income, your desired retirement lifestyle and whether you hope to leave a legacy to heirs. Contact us (601) 707-7536. We’ll review your situation together and come up with a retirement savings plan — including a number.

02/13/2026

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 (601) 707-7536.

Writing a comprehensive business plan is an absolute imperative when launching a business. But it’s also important for running one. Why? Because your business plan can help you see into the future. As long as it’s properly structured, adheres to sound strategies and contains accurate data, a business plan should spell out in black and white what your company will accomplish and how it will get there. Contact us at (601) 707-7536 for help determining whether your business plan is still the crystal ball it needs to be.

02/10/2026

As the 2025 filing season gets underway, it’s a smart time to also look to the future. Major tax law changes take effect in 2026, and proactive planning now can help you avoid surprises later. While we’re preparing your current return, let’s also review your broader tax picture and identify opportunities that may benefit you in the year ahead. Have questions or want to schedule a planning session? Call us at (601) 707-7536.

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 (601) 707-7536 to start your 2025 return.

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 (601) 707-7536 at with questions.
