September 2026 — With the final months of 2026 approaching, Dube & Associates, P.C. is encouraging businesses and individuals to take time now to review their finances, prepare for upcoming tax deadlines and consider strategies that could help reduce their tax liability.
The firm’s September 2026 newsletter highlights several timely tax and financial planning topics, including potential deductions for business bad debts, year-end investment strategies and ways eligible taxpayers can maximize the tax benefits of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).
For business owners, the newsletter examines circumstances in which unpaid customer accounts and other business debts may qualify for a federal tax deduction. Because bad debt deductions are subject to specific requirements, businesses should maintain appropriate records and understand the applicable rules before claiming a loss.
Investors are also encouraged to review their portfolios before year end. While taxes should not be the sole factor driving investment decisions, thoughtful year-end planning may uncover opportunities to improve after-tax returns.
Another featured topic focuses on Health Savings Accounts. For those who qualify, HSAs can offer significant tax advantages while helping pay current health care costs and potentially building funds for medical expenses in retirement.
Additional September topics include preparing accounting records for tax season, potential tax benefits associated with accessibility improvements, the deductibility of certain long-term care insurance premiums and using QuickBooks Online to monitor business performance.
Dube & Associates also reminds taxpayers of several upcoming filing and payment deadlines.
September 15 is an important deadline for many taxpayers, including individuals making their third installment of 2026 estimated taxes and calendar-year corporations making estimated income tax payments. Certain S corporations and partnerships that received extensions for their 2025 returns also face September 15 filing requirements.
Additional deadlines include September 30 for certain calendar-year trusts and estates that received extensions and October 13 for individuals required to report qualifying September tip income to their employers.
Tax laws and individual circumstances vary, and taxpayers with questions about how these rules or deadlines apply to them are encouraged to consult with a qualified tax professional.
The complete September 2026 newsletter, including additional tax and QuickBooks tips, is available through Dube & Associates, P.C.
