Incredible news in the SBA world!
In FY 2025, the SBA guaranteed 84,400 business loans, fueling $44.8 billion to entrepreneurs across the country.
We need to take a moment and pause to take a look at this number…
$44,800,000,000.00
This breaks down to approximately 77,600 7(a) loans worth $37 billion and 6,750 504 loans worth 7.8 billion.
To put in another way…
Every single week, more than 1,600 small businesses secured financing to help them take their operations to the next level.
These aren’t just record breaking numbers…
They’re also a sign that small business optimism is alive and well.

The IRS has officially announced that paper tax refund checks for individual taxpayers will be phased out beginning on September 30, 2025. Payments are next in line—but there is some breathing room.

The irony of TurboTax charging more than 80% of firms for fed-only, with no bookkeeping cleanup
Step 1: Never charge less than $1,751
Step 2: Refer every else over to TT
Step 3: Get the tax res work in a couple years
I'm only slightly joking, but it really is a great time to be an accounting firm
For as much as we gripe about Intuit stealing from firms, we're stealing from ourselves every time we ship a business return under $2k

It's worth building out an explainer for your team.
Because... that's all well and good Jason... but I still gotta figure out how to get this S-Corp from $700 to $2k.
So build one of those feature comparison tables, like you see from software co's:
Rows of features
Columns of providers, and you 🙋
Pilot
Bench
TurboTax
Jason Staats
Whatever makes sense for you, compare what you do to what they do, feature by feature:
Access to an entire team of expert pros ❌ ✅
Support when you get an IRS nastygram ❌ ✅
A service that's tailored to your biz's needs ❌ ✅
Build a relationship with an actual advisor ❌ ✅
The landscape's changing, sometimes faster than we're able to wrap our heads around.
But we need to find the language to explain the state of the market to clients, and our place within it.
The good news is the upside is yours.

Well #taxtwitter, it looks like next year’s tax bill will include no corporate tax increase AND no taxes on tips.
So my return fee for 2025 will be $1.00, with a minimum tip of $499.

Alright #TaxTwitter fam, what are we charging for a base 1040 + 1 state filing next year? W-2s, retirement income, standard deduction, maybe light Schedule B/D income, no planning or minimal planning. Not here to discuss or collude. Just looking for some data points.

How much do you pay for each of the following:
Corp Tax Return
LLC Tax Return
Personal Tax Return
Assume fairly basic, clean books reconciled monthly, no chasing data - standard real estate and small business deductions
*** can you tell I just finished my returns? - my tax guy charged a lot more than last year. Same guy 8+ years.

It’s a great idea for “kids” (18+) to get basic documents like a Power of Attorney and/or Health Care documents - just in case.
We have done them for kids:
- away at college 📚
- about to travel on, say, spring break 🚢
- who are going to study abroad ✈️

Should this be the standard for business tax return pricing?

ICYMI -> Months after the Corporate Transparency Act—or #CTA—went into effect, a federal court has ruled it exceeds the Constitution’s limits on Congress’ power.
It's a narrow ruling, but a game-changer. Expect to hear more on this one.
