Don’t miss your opportunity to make a 2025 IRA contribution — whether you can deduct it or not
Each year, you may be able to contribute up to the annual limit to a traditional or Roth IRA (or a combination of the two). The deadline for 2025 IRA contributions is April 15, 2026 — even if you file for an extension on your 2025 return.
You may be eligible to deduct all or part of your traditional IRA contribution and save taxes on your 2025 return. Roth IRA contributions aren’t deductible, but qualified withdrawals are tax-free. If you’re ineligible to make Roth IRA contributions or deduct traditional ones due to income-based phaseouts, a nondeductible traditional IRA contribution can be beneficial.

Should your business consider a fiscal year end?
Most businesses close their books on December 31 because it aligns with the calendar year. And it may seem easier for tax filing purposes.
But this approach isn’t right for every business. Some entities — such as construction companies, accounting firms and snowplowing operations — may have valid reasons for adopting fiscal year ends. Aligning a company’s tax year with its operating cycle can streamline reporting and support better planning.
If you’re thinking about changing your business’s year end, contact us to discuss your options. We can also guide you through the IRS approval process. ... See MoreSee Less
It’s your last chance to claim these clean energy tax breaks
Last year’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) terminated several clean energy tax incentives earlier than previously scheduled. But if you bought an electric vehicle or made certain green home improvements last year, you might be eligible for a tax credit on your 2025 individual income tax return. Possible credits include ones for purchasing a new or used clean vehicle (if done by Sept. 30, 2025), making energy-efficient home improvements, or installing renewable energy systems or electric vehicle charging ports at your home. But various rules and limits apply. If you’re wondering whether you might qualify for one or more of these credits, contact us. ... See MoreSee Less
