PCI DSS v4.0.1 governs every 2026 assessment, and FAQ 1588 has narrowed who qualifies for SAQ A. This guide walks small merchants through the new script-tampering rules (6.4.3 and 11.6.1), the 12-character password and MFA requirements, what non-compliance actually costs, and a 12-step checklist for getting it right.
How U.S. partnerships and S corporations qualify for the Schedule K-2/K-3 domestic filing exception, manage the 1-month-date partner request rule, and use the new small-entity exception for entities with under $250,000 in total receipts.
Section 197 requires buyers in a taxable asset acquisition to amortize acquired intangibles — goodwill, customer lists, workforce in place, covenants not to compete — straight-line over 180 months. This guide walks through Form 8594 purchase price allocation, the anti-churning rules for related-party deals, the no-loss rule on dispositions, and Form 4562 reporting across the full 15-year cycle.
A practical walkthrough of the Single Audit Act, the new $1 million federal expenditure threshold effective for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2024, the SEFA's role, the four-step risk-based major program selection, the 12 compliance areas auditors test, and the steps nonprofits and local governments should take before crossing the threshold.
Subpart F forces U.S. shareholders of a controlled foreign corporation to recognize foreign profits as current-year income, even when no cash is distributed. This guide covers the 10 percent threshold, the four triggering income categories, Section 958 constructive ownership traps, Form 5471 penalties, and how the 2026 OBBBA rewrite (NCTI, restored 958(b)(4), 40 percent Section 250 deduction) reshapes the rules.
ASC 350 lets private companies amortize goodwill over up to ten years and test for impairment only when a triggering event occurs. This guide walks through ASU 2014-02 and 2021-03 elections, the single-step Step One quantitative test after ASU 2017-04, and how to keep auditors and lenders aligned.
A practical guide to the three audits every cost-reimbursable federal contractor faces — the SF 1408 pre-award accounting system survey, daily timekeeping compliance, and the Incurred Cost Submission due six months after fiscal year-end — with a 90-day preparation plan and the five most common audit findings.
A practical walkthrough of Form 941-X — when to use the adjustment process versus the claim process, the three-year (or two-year) statute of limitations, the stricter rules for federal income tax withholding, and what to put on Line 43 so the correction holds up under IRS review.
A 2026 field guide to Section 162(a)(2) travel deductions — how the tax home rule, the temporary-vs-indefinite test, and the one-year rule determine whether consultants, traveling nurses, and other mobile workers can deduct lodging, meals, and per diem.
Section 280G disallows the corporate deduction and imposes a 20% Section 4999 excise tax once parachute payments to a disqualified individual reach three times the executive's five-year average W-2 compensation, with the penalty applying to everything above 1× the base amount. Private companies can eliminate the consequences entirely through a 75% disinterested shareholder vote paired with conditional waivers signed before closing.
The IRS Voluntary Classification Settlement Program lets eligible employers reclassify 1099 workers as W-2 employees for roughly 1.068% of last year's compensation, with no interest, no penalties, and no employment-tax audit of prior years on those workers.
A side-by-side guide to Form 1023 ($600, 30+ pages) and Form 1023-EZ ($275, three pages) — including the $50,000 gross receipts test, $250,000 asset cap, the 27-month retroactive recognition deadline, and why 37% of streamlined approvals failed to meet legal requirements.
