#TaxTipTuesday

Self-employed?
Reconcile your 1099s before filing your return.
Sometimes the amount reported is higher than the cash you actually received because of other charges.

Report the full 1099 income β€” and deduct the related expenses.

Let the good times roll… responsibly. 🎭

If I created a simple-to-use Excel add-on to standardize review tick marks for tax firms, would anyone be interested?

We've been using a primitive version of this in our firm for years, but I never thought about cleaning it up and packaging it for other people to use.

Missed Early Bird? It happens.

Now you just have a slightly bigger business expense. That’s what write-offs are for, right? πŸ˜‰

Freedom With a Side of Guilt: How Food Delivery Is Reshaping Mealtime

"From her roughly $50,000 annual salary as a data processor in San Diego, Ms. Reedy, 34, spends at least $200 to $300 a week on food delivery."

If you're spending at least 20 percent of your salary on *delivered* food, maybe affordability isn't the main issue.

This one weird trick could stop US women from voting | Arwa Mahdawi The Save Act – which would do the opposite of its title – could have a huge impact on the midterm elections

I've been posting about this for a long time. Time to raise awareness again: the SAVE Act would disenfranchise tens of millions of American women (including myself) whose legal names do not match the names on their birth certificates.

Lawyers say a Real ID DL wouldn't suffice to be able to vote.

The after-parties at #TaxRetreat are awesome!

This was a group outing at a dueling piano bar during the 2025 Retreat β€” singing badly, laughing a lot, and building real community.

Martin Luther King Jr. wasn’t asking us to admire the dream.

He was asking us to do the work.

DEI isn’t about comfort.
It’s about accountability β€” who is heard, who is protected, and who is still expected to wait quietly for inclusion.

Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) DFPS protects the unprotected - children, elderly, and people with disabilities - from abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month.

One thing that's been worrying me about ICE's conduct is that people could masquerade as ICE in their attempt to capture people for human trafficking activities.
