Choosing the right business entity is an  important decision for any entrepreneur. It can influence everything from liability protection to taxation and growth potential. Many business owners start their journey informally, often as sole proprietors or default partnerships, but, as the business grows, seeking expert advice to establish a formal entity becomes essential to protect assets and optimize operations.

As we approach the 2025 tax filing year it is important for taxpayers to be aware of upcoming changes.

One change we look for each year is inflation-adjusted tax brackets. The IRS has released information on its new inflation-adjusted tax brackets for 2025.  Inflation-adjusted tax brackets occur as the IRS adjusts various tax provisions in an effort to prevent "bracket creep" (when inflation pushes taxpayers into higher income tax brackets despite their purchasing power not having increased).

One of the most impactful tax incentives for businesses is Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code, commonly referred to as the "Section 179 Deduction." This powerful tax tool can help businesses to immediately write off the cost of certain assets in the year bought, reducing taxable income and freeing up capital for growth.
