The April tax season is in the rearview mirror and you can relax in the sun. But a few simple tax planning steps during the year can take the headache out of filing your next tax return. You might even end up with a better refund or lower tax bill. Before heading to the beach, take a little time to organize your tax records digitally or on paper in clearly labeled folders. Then, add tax documents as they’re received. If you’ve moved, officially change your mailing address with the IRS on Form 8822. And you can use the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator to ensure your tax withholding amount is right.

Does your business pay independent contractors? A provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law on July 4, 2025, will reduce your required reporting. Currently, businesses that pay $600 or more for services rendered by a contractor must issue a Form 1099-NEC (Nonemployee Compensation). Beginning with payments made in 2026, the threshold increases to $2,000 and will be adjusted for inflation in subsequent years. This change will simplify compliance and reduce the risk of penalties for missed filings. Contact us at (360) 336-6511 with questions about how to proceed.

Are you suffering from “retirement sprawl?” You might be if you’ve switched jobs several times and left 401(k) plan accounts behind. You may even have a few traditional or Roth IRAs out there. Over time, having many accounts can make managing and tracking retirement investments increasingly difficult. So it’s time to round up those accounts and consolidate them! Contact us at (360) 336-6511 for advice on avoiding negative tax consequences in the process.

Starting in 2026, tax law changes could increase the risk of getting hit by the alternative minimum tax (AMT). This is especially true for high earners. At least some income-based phaseout thresholds for the AMT exemption will drop, and the exemptions will be phased out twice as fast as in 2025. Add to that the impact of larger state and local tax deductions (which aren’t AMT-deductible), and more taxpayers could face the AMT. Call us at (360) 336-6511 for help assessing your risk and finding strategies you can implement now to minimize your taxes.

Does your business incur research and experimentation (R&E) expenses? The One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act reinstates the immediate deduction for research activities conducted in the United States, beginning in 2025. Before the new law was enacted, R&E expenses had to be capitalized and amortized over five years, beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2022. What if you began to amortize R&E expenses in 2022, 2023 and/or 2024? You can deduct the remaining amount on your 2025 return or split it between your 2025 and 2026 returns, rather than continuing to amortize over what remains of the five-year period. Contact us at (360) 336-6511 with questions.

If you own a life insurance policy, a portion of its proceeds could be lost to estate tax if your estate exceeds the gift and estate tax exemption amount. If you don’t own the policy, the proceeds won’t be included in your taxable estate. Using an irrevocable life insurance trust (ILIT) can keep life insurance policies out of your estate. An ILIT owns one or more policies on your life, and it manages and distributes policy proceeds according to your wishes. You aren’t allowed to retain any powers over the policy, such as the right to change the beneficiary. Contact us at (360) 336-6511 for details.

The IRS Whistleblower Office (WBO) plays a key role in tax collection. The federal tax system relies on voluntary compliance, investigations, data analytics and information from people with knowledge of noncompliance. A tip that leads to the collection of proceeds may result in a valid claim for a cash award. What makes a claim valid? To qualify for an award, a claim must provide specific and credible information regarding tax underpayments or violations. Generally, an award ranges from 15% to 30% of the proceeds collected that are attributable to information from the tipster. Contact us with questions at (360) 336-6511 and learn more about the WBO claim process here: https://bit.ly/3RleVWh

A revocable trust (sometimes known as a “living trust”) can provide significant benefits. They include the ability to avoid probate for the assets the trust holds and to facilitate the management of your assets in the event you become incapacitated. To obtain these benefits, you must fund the trust by transferring the title of assets to it. Assets not held by your revocable trust may be subject to probate and will be beyond the trustee’s control in the event you become incapacitated. Contact us at (360) 336-6511 with questions about the financial and tax aspects of your estate plan.
