IRS Dirty Dozen 2026: How Payroll Phishing and Direct-Deposit Scams Target Small Businesses

The IRS's 2026 Dirty Dozen list flags a payroll-specific phishing wave: fake HR portal emails and direct-deposit change requests that reroute paychecks to scammers. The FBI's IC3 logged 24,768 business email compromise complaints totaling roughly $3.05 billion in 2025, with 86% of losses moving by wire or ACH — the same rails payroll runs on. Here are the three warning signs (urgency, unusual requests, process changes), five process controls that close the email-only loophole, and the first-72-hours response if a paycheck has already been diverted.

Malta's New VAT-Inclusive Pricing Rule: What Freelancers and Small Businesses Need to Know

Malta's 2026 Budget Implementation Act makes displayed prices presumed VAT-inclusive by law, with only two carve-outs. The domestic small-enterprise exemption holds at €35,000 turnover, new Articles 11A/11B open a €100,000 EU-wide cross-border SME scheme with quarterly declarations, and mandatory e-invoicing is coming as Malta targets its 24.2% VAT gap.

How Merchant Category Codes Control Your Business Credit Card Rewards — and Your 1099-K

A Merchant Category Code (MCC) is a four-digit classification assigned to merchants by payment processors. It decides whether a business credit card's bonus categories trigger, shapes a merchant's interchange fees, and appears in Box 2 of IRS Form 1099-K — which returns to a $20,000 and 200-transaction threshold for tax years 2025 and beyond.

QDOT Rules, Rewritten: What Treasury Decision 10050 Means for Business Owners with Non-Citizen Spouses

Treasury Decision 10050, effective July 10, 2026, delivers the first substantial update to Qualified Domestic Trust (QDOT) regulations in three decades. Here is why the unlimited marital deduction excludes non-citizen spouses, what a QDOT requires — a U.S. trustee, an affirmative Form 706 election, and security for trusts over $2 million — and which four procedural fixes the new rules make for business owners' estates.

Bookkeeping for Reptile and Exotic Pet Breeders: Breeding Stock, Clutch Valuation, and the Hobby-Loss Trap

How reptile and exotic pet breeders should handle taxes and bookkeeping — the IRS nine-factor hobby-loss test, the one-time depreciate-vs-inventory election for breeding stock, why unhatched eggs aren't inventory, the unit-livestock-price method for hatchlings, and why a die-off of self-raised animals usually isn't deductible.

Tailoring and Alterations Shop Bookkeeping: Separating Fabric COGS From Labor, Depreciating Equipment, and Knowing When You Need a Seller's Permit

Alteration labor on a new garment is often taxable while the same work on a used one is exempt — one of several rules that make tailoring shop bookkeeping tricky. How to split fabric COGS from labor revenue, depreciate sewing equipment via Section 179 or MACRS, and know when selling a single zipper triggers a seller's permit.

The IRS Doesn't Have to Prove You Lied — It Just Has to Prove Your Receipts Don't Exist

In Goodwill-Oikerhe v. Commissioner, a tax preparer lost every disputed deduction — dependents, property tax, vehicle expenses, S-corp flow-throughs — and drew a 75% civil fraud penalty under Section 6663, largely because no records existed. Why the Cohan rule couldn't rescue him, and what contemporaneous bookkeeping must capture to survive an audit.

USDA's 2026 Farm Payment Rule: Entity-Level AGI Testing Ends for LLC and S-Corp Farms

USDA's final rule effective June 2, 2026 ends entity-level AGI testing for LLCs, S corporations, partnerships, and joint ventures — AGI is now tested per owner against the $900,000 limit, payment limits stack by actively engaged member, and paid labor counts toward eligibility.

New York's $1.065 billion settlement with Yellowstone Capital canceled $534 million in small-business MCA debt for over 18,000 merchants — but canceled debt is generally taxable income unless you can claim an exclusion like insolvency, so here's how to spot an illegal MCA and get your books ready.
