For loans forgiven in 2026, the answer depends on which forgiveness program your discharge came from.

Some forgiveness is still tax-free at the federal level, including:
• Public Service Loan Forgiveness
• Teacher Loan Forgiveness
• Death discharge
• Many total and permanent disability discharges

But if your forgiveness comes through a long-term Income-Driven Repayment plan, you may need to plan for a federal tax bill.

If your loans are being forgiven this year, don’t wait until tax time to check your paperwork.

DM us to schedule a time to review your forgiveness program, discharge date, and what it could mean for your return.

The economy added 172,000 jobs in May.

So why does hiring still feel so hard for your business?

The report looked strong overall, but growth wasn’t spread evenly across every industry.

If you’re struggling to find employees, it might be time to look at the team you already have:

• Who could grow with a little training?
• What tasks could be shared differently?
• What tools could take pressure off the team?

When hiring feels stuck, start inside your own business.

Most industries saw no changes or declines in total employment.

Start by reviewing why there is a difference between your records and what was reported on Form 990.

Is it a revenue issue? Were expenses not recorded accurately (or missed)? Were there donor restrictions or board approvals involved? Was unrelated business income overlooked?

When you see a discrepancy, take time to compare the return against your:
• Financial records
• Board minutes
• Donor restrictions
• Program activity
• Unrelated business income records

If something doesn’t match, we can help you review the issue, document what happened, and decide what needs to be corrected. DM us to schedule an appointment.

Yes, if a nonprofit misses 3 Form 990 filings in a row, its tax-exempt status is automatically revoked. And even before it gets to that point, late or missing filings can raise questions with the IRS.

Make sure you're...
• Tracking donated dollars
• Using restricted funds as promised
• Reporting activities accurately
• Keeping nonprofit money separate from private benefit

And if your Form 990 is filed, review it against your records while the details are still fresh. (Or let us handle it for you.)

A new idea doesn’t have to be perfect before you try it. But it does need to answer:
1. Who is this for?
2. What problem does it solve?
3. What would someone actually pay for?
4. What’s the smallest way to try it?

A business is an opportunity to fill a need, so making sure you're clear on what need is being filled and how to actually charge for it is your basis for everything.

The employer credit for family and medical leave can range from 12.5% to 25% of the wages you pay while an employee is on leave.

But before the credit applies, the policy has to meet specific regulations.

To see if your business qualifies, we’d need to review your leave plan, including:
• Who on your team qualifies based on compensation and hours
• Whether your written policy covers the right employees
• How your leave is funded
• Where your employees are physically located
• Whether your business can actually use the credit this year

Want to know whether your policy may qualify? Comment “LEAVE” and let’s look at the tax side before you try to claim the credit.
