The exit plan vs. the lifestyle. Every solo owner hits this exact wall.
I understand that if I ever want to sell my business, I must have employees.
But, to be completely honest, I’ve really enjoyed to is year being solo.
I literally do whatever I want to, whenever I want to do it.
It’s been very enjoyable.

The SALT deduction cap is a lot less painful than it used to be. It's $40,400 for 2026, up from the $10,000 cap that stuck around for years, and it keeps climbing slightly each year through 2029 before reverting back down in 2030.

I support this statement and will add it applies to individuals and families too. #Tax education applies cradle to grave and beyond-your estate.

This matters most for business owners paying themselves a W-2 salary through an S-corp, and for any employees on your payroll who cross that threshold. Not every 401(k) plan allows Roth deferrals yet — worth checking with your plan provider.

If you run a business with tipped or hourly workers, there's a new deduction worth knowing about. Starting with 2025 returns, employees can deduct up to $25,000 in tip income or $12,500 in overtime pay each year, $25,000 if filing jointly.

A common misread: this isn't a payroll change. Social Security, Medicare, and withholding still apply exactly as before. The deduction shows up when your employee files their personal return, not on the paycheck itself.
