🚗 Tax Tip Tuesday: 2026 Business Mileage
Do miles for a personal trips to scope out Starbase Louisiana count❓
Answer: No :( The dead give away was the word PERSONAL!

If you use your vehicle for business, those miles can add up to a valuable deduction BUT ONLY if you’re keeping good records.

For 2026, the IRS business mileage rate is:
72.5¢ per mile from January 1–June 30
76¢ per mile from July 1–December 31

That means 2026 has two different business mileage rates, so your mileage log needs to clearly separate miles driven before and after July 1.

Business mileage can include trips to clients, vendors, job sites, the bank, post office, business meetings, and qualifying business travel. Your regular commute from home to your normal workplace generally does not count.

📌 Keep track of the date, destination, business purpose, and miles driven.

Because at tax time, “I drove a lot for work” is not quite the documentation the IRS is looking for. 😂

Tuesday's Tax Tip‼️️

🍔 Big Mac or Big Deduction?😂

Just because you grabbed lunch while talking business doesn’t automatically make the whole thing deductible.

That Big Mac with a client or potential client? It may qualify for a 50% business meal deduction when the proper business requirements are met.

But those concert tickets, golf outing, or LSU game tickets you bought to “talk business”? 👀 Entertainment is generally not deductible.

And here’s the part people miss: if food is purchased along with entertainment, the meal should be separately stated on the receipt or invoice to potentially qualify for the 50% meal deduction.

So before you start calling every Quarter Pounder a “client meeting,” save this cheat sheet. 😂🍟

Moral of the story: Keep the receipt, document who you met with and the business purpose… and know the difference between a Big Mac and a big tax deduction.💰

Tax rules depend on the specific facts and circumstances. This post is for general informational purposes only!

💚 Getting over the humps of bookkeeping in your QUICKBOOKS Online account on Hump Day!
Does Your QuickBooks Balance Match Your Bank Account? 💚 If so you may want to screen shot this post!

One of the MOST important parts of keeping clean books is making sure the transactions recorded in QuickBooks Online match what actually happened in your business bank account.

And just because your bank is connected to QuickBooks does not mean everything is automatically correct! 👀

Here’s a simple step by step check we do in our office:
1️⃣ Log in to your actual bank account first.
Write down your current available/posted balance and pay attention to any transactions that are still pending.

2️⃣ Open QuickBooks Online.
Go to Accounting → Chart of Accounts, find your business checking account, and select View Register.

3️⃣ Compare the transactions.
Look at your bank activity and compare it to the QuickBooks register. Make sure deposits, checks, ACH payments, debit card purchases, fees, transfers, and other activity are recorded correctly.

4️⃣ Review your Bank Transactions.
If your bank is connected to QuickBooks, review the transactions waiting to be categorized or matched. QuickBooks recommends reviewing downloaded transactions and either matching them to existing entries or categorizing them correctly before adding them to your books.

⚠️ Watch for duplicates!
If a transaction is already entered in QuickBooks, you usually want to MATCH it not add it again.

5️⃣ Look for missing transactions.
If something cleared the bank but isn't in QuickBooks, find out why. Common culprits include:

✔️ Bank fees
✔️ ACH withdrawals
✔️ Automatic payments
✔️ Deposits
✔️ Transfers between accounts
✔️ Checks entered for the wrong amount
✔️ Duplicate transactions

6️⃣ Don’t forget outstanding transactions.
Your QuickBooks register and today's bank balance may not always be identical because QuickBooks can contain checks or payments that haven't cleared the bank yet.

That’s why we don't simply change QuickBooks to force the balances to match!

7️⃣ RECONCILE! ✅
At the end of the month, use your actual bank statement to reconcile the account. Reconciliation compares the transactions recorded in QuickBooks with the transactions reported by your bank and helps identify bookkeeping mistakes or missing activity.

Your goal at the end of reconciliation?

🎯 Difference: $0.00
(With ALL transactions checked off, UNLESS it did not clear until the following month !)

If you're constantly wondering…

🤔 Why doesn't my QuickBooks match my bank?
🤔 Where did this transaction come from?
🤔 Did I enter this twice?

…it may be time to give your books a little TLC. 💚

Clean books = better reports = better business decisions.
