Profit-Sharing Plans for Your Small Business
Business owners who want to sponsor a retirement plan for employees (including owner-employees) have many options from which to choose. Knowing the basics can help entrepreneurs make an astute decision. One choice is a profit-sharing plan. Despite its name, your company needn’t tabulate its earnings every year and divide that amount among its workers. Instead, […]
The “Other” Exchange-Traded Funds
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have become popular in this century, due largely to relatively low expenses and tax efficiency. (See the July 2016 CPA Client Bulletin for more on ETFs.)

Year-End Planning for Medical Deductions
The PATH Act of 2015 is not the only recent tax law affecting year-end planning this year. One provision of the Affordable Care Act, passed back in 2010, comes into play now.
