Makerspace and Hackerspace Bookkeeping: Membership Dues, Workshop Revenue, and Shared Equipment Costs
Makerspaces should recognize annual membership dues ratably over the term as a deferred-revenue liability rather than all at once, track workshop revenue separately from dues, capitalize equipment above a set threshold, and choose an LLC or 501(c)(3) structure based on whether their funding model relies on grants or dues.
Crypto Taxes in 2026: Staking Rewards, Airdrops, Hard Forks, and Why Every Swap Is a Taxable Disposition
Staking, airdrops, and hard forks are ordinary income at fair value when you gain dominion and control — and every crypto-to-crypto swap is a sale with proceeds, basis, and gain.
Amazon Q2 2026 Earnings: AWS Accelerates 37% as a $53B Anthropic Gain Rewrites Profit
Amazon's Q2 2026: $200.6B net sales (+19.6%) and $62.6B net income (+245%) — but $53.4B of that was a non-operating gain from revaluing its Anthropic stake. Operating income rose 43% to $27.5B as AWS accelerated to 37% growth at a 39.4% margin, while trailing free cash flow turned to a $7.6B outflow on $169B of capex. Modeled line by line in a public Beancount ledger.
Selling Your Business to Your Employees: What the New SBA Worker Cooperative Lending Pilot Means for Retiring Owners
Six million U.S. businesses are expected to change hands by 2035, yet over 58% of owners have no succession plan. The National Worker Cooperative Development and Support Act, reintroduced in December 2025, would create an SBA pilot guaranteeing $60 million in loans over ten years for worker cooperative conversions — solving the 20%-owner personal guarantee problem that blocks most co-op financing. Here's how the pilot, Section 1042 capital gains deferral, and clean bookkeeping fit into an employee-ownership exit.
HMRC's April 2026 Umbrella Company Rules: Agencies and End Clients Now Liable for Unpaid PAYE
From April 6, 2026, HMRC can recover a UK umbrella company's unpaid PAYE and NICs directly from the recruitment agency — or the end client if no UK agency exists — with no reasonable-care defense. Here's who is in scope and the due diligence steps to take before the deadline.
TrumpIRA.gov and the Federal Saver's Match: What Self-Employed Workers Should Know Before 2027
TrumpIRA.gov, a Treasury-run IRA marketplace launching January 1, 2027, will list providers capped at a 0.15% expense ratio with no account minimums and connect eligible savers to a Federal Saver's Match of up to $1,000 a year — a 50% match on the first $2,000 contributed. Here is how it fits alongside a SEP-IRA or Solo 401(k), and why accurate books determine the contribution you can actually make.
Towing Company Bookkeeping: Tow Truck Depreciation, Impound Lot Revenue, and the Compliance Costs Most Owners Underprice
A tow truck over 14,000 lbs GVWR can often be fully expensed under Section 179 the year it's placed in service — but only if the depreciation schedule starts that year. How towing companies should separate tow, impound, and lien-sale revenue, reconcile lot logs monthly, and price compliance costs into every job.
FDIC Coverage for Business Accounts: Lessons from the Small Business Bank Failure in Lenexa, Kansas
On July 18, 2026, regulators closed Small Business Bank of Lenexa, Kansas — the fourth U.S. bank failure of 2026 — with $73M in assets and $69M in deposits assumed by Farmers State Bank of Oakley. Here's how the $250,000-per-depositor, per-ownership-category FDIC limit really applies to business accounts, and how to extend coverage with multiple banks or insured cash sweeps.
Serbia's Paušal Flat-Rate Tax in 2026: The 6 Million RSD Ceiling, the 10% Cap, and What Freelancers Should Track
Serbia's paušal flat-rate regime charges roughly 170,000 freelancers a fixed monthly tax — RSD 30,000–60,000 for most Belgrade IT contractors in 2026 — but crossing the 6,000,000 RSD annual turnover ceiling triggers full-profit taxation with no grace period. Here's how the 2026 decisions, the 10% year-over-year cap extended through 2027, and a simple multi-currency ledger fit together.
The Self-Employed Health Insurance Deduction in 2026: Navigating the Return of the ACA Subsidy Cliff
The enhanced ACA premium tax credits expired January 1, 2026, restoring the 400% FPL subsidy cliff — about $60,240 for a single filer — and roughly doubling net premiums for the average subsidized enrollee. Here's how self-employed workers can use the 100% above-the-line health insurance deduction, Form 7206, HSA contributions ($4,400 individual / $8,750 family), and MAGI timing strategies to soften the hit.
Your Business Partner Has a Green Card? Your SBA Loan Just Got a Lot Harder to Get
As of March 1, 2026, SBA 7(a), 504, and microloan applicants must be 100% owned by U.S. citizens or nationals — green card holders are excluded from any direct or indirect ownership stake. Existing loans are grandfathered; new applicants with a permanent resident anywhere in the ownership chain must turn to CDFIs, state loan programs, or USDA B&I financing instead.
Return on Net Assets (RONA): How to Tell If Your Equipment and Inventory Are Earning Their Keep
Return on Net Assets (RONA = Net Income ÷ Fixed Assets + Net Working Capital) measures whether the equipment, vehicles, and inventory a business owns are actually generating profit.
