No, if you filed an extension in April, October 15 is your federal filing deadline. There isnโ€™t a second standard extension you can file to buy yourself more time.

There are limited exceptions for certain taxpayers living and working abroad, military members serving in designated combat zones, and people affected by federally declared disasters.

Otherwise, if October 15 is getting close and youโ€™re still missing documents, start tracking them down now.

Canโ€™t find a W-2 or 1099? Your IRS Online Account may have a Wage and Income Transcript showing information thatโ€™s already been reported to the IRS.

And if you have most of your documents ready, donโ€™t wait for the last missing item before contacting your tax pro. Send us what you have so we can start reviewing your return and identify whatโ€™s still needed.

Before you sign, check exactly what youโ€™re agreeing to pay, how long the agreement lasts, and what each side is responsible for.

Then check the smaller details:

โ€ข Whether it renews automatically
โ€ข What it takes to cancel
โ€ข Any additional fees or charges
โ€ข When payments are due
โ€ข Any requirements youโ€™ll need to meet during the agreement

To set up an Accountable Plan for your S corp, start with these four steps:
1. Adopt a formal written plan that spells out eligible expenses, deadlines, and documentation requirements.
2. Create a monthly expense reporting system that records the amount, date, business connection, receipt, and business-use percentage for mixed expenses.
3. Submit your expense reports and receipts within the IRS 60-day safe harbor window, then formally approve them.
4. Transfer the approved reimbursement from your S corp account to your personal account and record it under the appropriate operating expense.

If your employees are using AI to do company tasks, then you want to consider these things when regulating its use:
โ€ข Which AI tools you are okay with them using and for which processes those tools should be used
โ€ข How to handle entering sensitive company or client information into AI tools (especially ones that train a model or make information public)
โ€ข Verifying AI-generated information before itโ€™s used or shared
โ€ข Who will handle AI regulation and questions
โ€ข Which types of work still require a human review before anything goes to a client or customer

Yes, your S corp can reimburse you through an Accountable Plan, which is a formal arrangement for handling those reimbursements.

For example, say you paid $6,000 in qualifying business expenses personally. Without an Accountable Plan, your S corp gets no write-off for those expenses.

With an Accountable Plan:
โ€ข Your S corp claims the $6,000 deduction
โ€ข Your K-1 taxable income is reduced by $6,000
โ€ข The $6,000 reimbursement isnโ€™t included in your W-2 wages
โ€ข The reimbursement goes back into your personal account tax-free

If business expenses keep coming out of your personal account, it could be time to make sure your S corp is reimbursing you the right way.

AI can give you financial advice, but new Stanford research found that the quality of that advice depends on how you ask for it.

It's okay to ask ChatGPT your tax questions, but youโ€™re better off talking to a tax professional (something even it recommends) before executing any advice you find on there. Because even if it gives you an answer, you might not be asking the right question.

But we do.

Third-party payment apps report your gross transfers to the IRS.

Say you originally bought a couch for $1,200 and later sold it through Cash App for $400.

If you keep the record showing what you originally paid, you can prove that $400 transfer wasnโ€™t a $400 gain. You sold the couch at a loss.

Don't rely only on PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, or whichever payment platform you're using to track things for you.

Keep the records that show what those payments actually represent.

Getting paid via Venmo or PayPal doesn't automatically make your side income a business. The IRS looks at how you operate and whether your primary goal is making a profit.

If you keep separate books, set aside regular work hours, and take on ongoing gigs like freelancing or tutoring, you're operating as a business.

If you're just making money here and there from something you do for fun, like streaming or selling a few crafts, that's usually hobby income. You aren't really trying to make a living off it.

This distinction completely changes your tax setup. Business owners report their earnings on Schedule C and can deduct ordinary expenses to lower what they owe. If your side income is more of a hobby, you report the earnings on Schedule 1 as other income, but you can't write off any expenses against it.

If youโ€™re operating as a sole proprietor, thereโ€™s no legal separation between you and your business.

So if your business canโ€™t pay a creditor or gets hit with a lawsuit, your personal savings, home, or vehicles could be exposed too.

As your business grows, make sure the way you operate reflects that growth.

That may mean forming an LLC or corporation, then moving your business banking, contracts, insurance policies, vendor accounts, and payment processors into the companyโ€™s legal name.

The goal is to create a clearer line between what belongs to you personally and what belongs to the business.
