The U.S. minted its last penny on November 12, 2025, and 19 states have enacted cash-rounding laws in 2026 with no federal standard yet in force. Most states let retailers round cash totals to the nearest nickel at their discretion, Arizona mandates Canadian-style rounding, and Indiana treats rounding gains and losses as income adjustments. Here is how the rules differ, why sales tax is always calculated on the pre-rounding price, and how to book rounding variances so they stay auditable.

Commercial Fleet Insurance for Small Businesses: 2026 Costs, What Drives Your Premium, and Six Ways to Lower It

Small-business fleets of light-duty vehicles typically pay $150–$450 per vehicle per month in 2026 — cargo vans around $189, box trucks $300–$900+ — and new ventures pay 30–50% more than established ones. This guide explains the five factors underwriters actually price (driver MVRs, garaging location, mileage, limits, claims history) and six concrete ways to cut the premium, including telematics discounts of 10–30%, annual-pay savings of 5–10%, and per-vehicle cost tracking.

Indoor Ice Rink Bookkeeping: How to Handle Deferred League Revenue and Year-Round Refrigeration Costs

Ice rinks collect league fees, memberships, and lesson packages months before delivering the ice time, so prepayments must be booked as deferred revenue and recognized weekly as sessions are used — while refrigeration runs as a fixed cost every month. A practical five-step monthly routine covers deferral schedules, expense categorization, and cash-flow forecasting for rink owners.

Local SEO Budget Benchmarks by Industry: What Small Businesses Actually Pay in 2026

Local SEO retainers run $500–$5,000/month in 2026, but the spread by industry is 8x — legal services pay $2,500–$5,000 while photography studios pay $300–$600, driven by local competition rather than vendor quality.

Louisiana Tropical Storm Arthur Tax Relief: What the November 2, 2026 IRS Deadline Covers for Business Owners

After Tropical Storm Arthur struck Louisiana on June 17, 2026, the IRS postponed federal tax deadlines to November 2, 2026 for Avoyelles, St. Landry, St. Tammany, and Terrebonne Parishes under FEMA declaration 4927-DR. The relief covers returns and estimated payments automatically — but not payroll tax deposits or 1099s — and a Section 165(i) election lets storm-damaged businesses claim casualty losses on last year's return.
