Tax Information and News
May 12 is National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day—a time to raise awareness, show support, and recognize the daily challenges faced by millions living with fibromyalgia. At Acumen MB LLC, we understand that chronic illnesses like fibromyalgia don't just take a toll on the body and mind—they can also place a heavy burden on your finances. That's why it's important to understand how the tax code may offer some relief through medical expense deductions . What Is Fibromyalgia? Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes widespread pain, fatigue, cognitive difficulties, and sleep disturbances. Because it’s often an “invisible illness,” those who live with it may struggle not only with physical symptoms but also with the emotional and financial weight of managing long-term care. Tax Relief for Medical Expenses If you or someone in your household is being treated for fibromyalgia, certain medical costs may be deductible on your federal tax return , provided they exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI). This deduction applies whether you have been formally diagnosed or are undergoing evaluation and treatment for symptoms consistent with fibromyalgia. Common Deductible Expenses for Fibromyalgia Patients Eligible expenses may include: Doctor and specialist visits (including rheumatologists, neurologists, and pain management clinics) Prescription medications Physical therapy and occupational therapy Mental health services such as therapy or counseling Travel expenses related to medical treatment (e.g., mileage, bus fare, parking fees) Alternative treatments recommended by a medical provider (such as acupuncture or chiropractic care) Medical equipment and supplies (e.g., TENS units, braces, ergonomic furniture) Don’t Forget About FSAs and HSAs If you’re enrolled in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) , you may be able to pay for many of these expenses with pre-tax dollars—providing another layer of financial relief. How We Can Help Navigating chronic illness is difficult enough without the added stress of figuring out what you can and cannot claim on your taxes. At Acumen MB LLC, we’re here to guide you through the process. If you or someone you care about is managing fibromyalgia and you'd like to better understand the tax implications, reach out to our team. We can help you track eligible expenses, maximize deductions, and keep your financial health strong. Let’s work together to ease some of the burden—because no one should have to face chronic illness alone, especially at tax time.
At Acumen MB LLC, we know firsthand how much of a difference one person can make—and no one proves that more clearly than our teachers. From shaping young minds to creating safe and supportive learning environments, teachers wear countless hats: educator, mentor, counselor, cheerleader, and sometimes even superhero. You spend your own time (and often your own money) to make sure your students succeed. And today, on National Teacher Appreciation Day , we want to say thank you. Thank you for showing up, even on the tough days. Thank you for turning classrooms into communities. Thank you for investing in the future—child by child, lesson by lesson. A Little Tax Tip as Our Thanks While we can never repay everything you do, we can make sure you know about a small way the tax system tries to show appreciation: the Educator Expense Deduction . If you're a teacher, instructor, counselor, principal, or aide for students in kindergarten through grade 12—and you work at least 900 hours a school year—you may qualify to deduct up to $300 ($600 if married filing jointly and both spouses are eligible educators) of out-of-pocket classroom expenses. This includes: Books, supplies, and classroom materials COVID-19 protective items (like masks and sanitizers) Educational software and subscriptions Professional development courses related to your field It's an above-the-line deduction, which means you don’t need to itemize to take it. We're Here to Help At Acumen MB LLC, we love helping educators understand their tax benefits and financial options. Whether you're navigating deductions or planning for your future, we're just a call or click away. To all the incredible teachers out there: we see you, we appreciate you, and we’re here to support you—during tax season and all year long. With gratitude, The Team at Acumen MB LLC
At Acumen MB LLC, we proudly celebrate the drive, creativity, and resilience of self-employed individuals—especially today, on National Self-Employed Day ! Whether you're a freelancer, gig worker, independent contractor, or small business owner, your role in our economy is invaluable. But with the freedom of self-employment also comes the responsibility of managing your own taxes and finances. That’s where we come in. Understanding Self-Employment Taxes Unlike traditional employees, self-employed individuals are responsible for both the employer and employee portions of Social Security and Medicare taxes—collectively known as self-employment tax. This often comes as a surprise to new entrepreneurs, and it can significantly impact your annual tax liability. Being prepared—and proactive—can make all the difference. Tax Tips for the Self-Employed 1. Know Your Quarterly Estimated Tax Deadlines If you expect to owe at least $1,000 in taxes for the year, you're likely required to make estimated payments quarterly. Missing these deadlines can result in penalties, so mark your calendar and plan ahead. 2. Track All Income and Expenses Diligently Whether you use accounting software or work with a professional, having organized records makes tax time less stressful and helps ensure you're claiming all the deductions you’re entitled to. 3. Take Advantage of Deductions From your home office and internet bill to business mileage and equipment, there are numerous tax deductions available to self-employed individuals. Every dollar you can deduct reduces your taxable income. 4. Consider an SEP IRA or Solo 401(k) Self-employment doesn’t mean you have to miss out on retirement savings. These plans not only help secure your future, but they also offer current-year tax advantages. 5. Don't Overlook the QBI Deduction The Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction may allow you to deduct up to 20% of your business income. This can be complex depending on your industry and income level, so it’s wise to consult with a tax professional. Why Accounting Support Matters Running your own business is a full-time job (and then some!). Managing your finances and taxes shouldn’t be something you do alone. At Acumen MB LLC , we specialize in helping self-employed individuals build smart financial systems, stay compliant with tax laws, and make informed decisions year-round—not just during tax season. We understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with being your own boss. Our team is here to help you simplify your finances so you can focus on what you do best—running and growing your business. Are you self-employed and ready to take control of your finances? Reach out to Acumen MB LLC today and let’s make sure your business is on solid financial ground—this National Self-Employed Day and beyond.
