Starting January 1, 2026, anyone whose 2025 FICA wages exceeded $150,000 must direct their entire 401(k) catch-up contribution — $8,000 standard or $11,250 for ages 60-63 — into a Roth account, with no pre-tax option and no opt-out.
Mobile IV and wellness injection bars must structure ownership as a physician-owned PC plus an MSO to satisfy corporate-practice-of-medicine rules, pay medical directors a flat monthly fee rather than a percentage of revenue, and classify nurses as W-2 employees in ABC-test states — each decision maps directly to a different chart-of-accounts structure.
Nacha's Phase 2 ACH fraud monitoring rule took effect June 19, 2026, requiring nearly every business that originates ACH payments to run a documented, risk-based fraud monitoring process covering account ownership verification, change monitoring, anomaly detection, and audit trails.
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.
Gusto's acquisition of compliance-automation platform Mosey signals that multi-state registration is becoming a payroll-provider feature. Small businesses under 50 employees spend about $14,700 per employee per year on regulatory compliance, and a first hire in a new state triggers foreign qualification, withholding and SUTA accounts, workers' comp, and new-hire reporting — each with its own agency, deadline, and penalties.
As of 2026, roughly 20 states plus Washington D.C. require salary-range disclosure in job postings, and the laws apply based on where a remote job could be performed — not where the employer is based. Employee-count thresholds range from 1 to 50+, and penalties run from $250 per violation in Illinois to $25,000 in Massachusetts. Here is what small businesses must disclose, how to handle "Remote — US" listings, and a six-step compliance checklist.
As of July 1, 2026, QuickBooks Online Payroll automates all payroll tax payments and withdraws funds when you run payroll — not on the tax due date. Here's what changed, how it affects small-business cash flow, and a six-step checklist to avoid surprise withdrawals.
A PEO enters a co-employment arrangement that shares payroll tax and compliance liability with your business — pricing runs $40-160 per employee per month or 2-12% of payroll, and IRS CPEO certification determines whether the PEO fully absorbs federal tax liability.
Wagepoint's WagePro+ program (July 2026) gives accounting firms up to 20% discounts, matched co-marketing funds, and automatic tier upgrades from 1 to 500 payroll clients — here's how those incentives can shape the payroll recommendation you get, and five questions to ask your bookkeeper before signing up.
A practical bookkeeping guide for med spa owners covering the industry's hardest problems — tracking expiring injectable inventory with FIFO and treatment recipes, calculating 15–25% injector commissions from provider-level revenue, deferring membership and package revenue until services are delivered, and building a chart of accounts that shows which service lines actually carry margin.
Virginia's pay transparency law took effect July 1, 2026, and Maine's LD 54 follows on July 29, bringing active U.S. pay transparency jurisdictions to 20. Because the rules attach to where a remote candidate could work — not where your company is headquartered — a remote posting without a good-faith salary range can violate laws in states where you have no office. Here's what changed, why remote postings trigger multi-state obligations, and a practical compliance checklist.
Small-group health insurance premiums are rising a median 11% for 2026, with single coverage averaging $703 a month and family coverage near $2,000 per employee. Here's why costs are spiking, how level-funded plans, QSEHRA, and ICHRA compare to traditional group coverage, and a five-question framework for deciding before your renewal deadline.
