“A tax strategy should fit your household, not just your business.”
Tammy Silvas, LIFTed Business Advisor

A job change can affect income, insurance, and the cash your family needs. I help you examine how legal decisions fit that picture, alongside your other advisors. A tax projection matters. So does the life you are building.

“Your documents record your decisions. Your life gives those decisions meaning.”
Tammy Silvas, Personal Family Lawyer® attorney

I want to know what changed, who depends on you, and what your wealth is meant to support. Reviewing a plan is more than checking dates. It is a conversation about whether your choices still fit the people you love.

Q: Does my spouse’s salary count as business income?
A: No, wages are not qualified business income, or QBI. But on a joint return, they can affect your QBI deduction.

Your business profit and your household’s taxable income are different numbers. Bring both into the conversation before assuming your business results alone determine the answer.

Q: I opened a new account. Does my trust automatically cover it?
A: Not automatically. Creating a trust does not automatically place every new account under it.

At Silvas Law, a Personal Family Lawyer® attorney helps you compare ownership and beneficiary instructions with your plan. Bring current account records before changing names or moving money. Different assets need different treatment.

Your spouse got a raise. Your business deduction could shrink.
Celebrate the good news. Then update the tax projection.

On a joint return, household income can affect the qualified business income deduction, even when your business has not changed. This week’s article explains why your spouse’s pay belongs in the year-end conversation with your CPA.

👨👩👧 Helping an aging parent plan for a "different home" can feel awkward.
Try starting with a subject they love talking about: their pet. 🐶

💬 "Who would take care of Max if you were in the hospital?"
💬 "Would you want a place that allows pets?"

Some 55+ and even assisted living facilities understand the benefits of permanent and visiting pets. It may worth seeking these homes out and asking about bringing a beloved companion.

📌 Why read the article:
• Pets can make a difference in care communities
• Some studies indicate health benefits with pet ownership
• Simple legal tools can help to take care of and even transition pets when necessary
• Learn what's possible

Your retirement contribution may come with an employee contribution, too.
Under a SEP, employer contributions generally use the same percentage for eligible participants. In a simplified example, 10% for two eligible employees earning $60,000 each means $12,000 altogether, before your own contribution.

That can be a valuable benefit. Just include the whole commitment before deciding what your business can afford.

🐶 Can a pet help you age well?
Some research says it may... 🧠

📖 In this article, you'll learn:
✅ What a 2023 study of 7,945 adults found about pets and memory
✅ How therapy dogs and house pets lift spirits in care communities
✅ How to care for your pet when you cannot

From this week's blog:

"Your dog may not guarantee that you live longer. But if that dog helps you move, connect, maintain routines and feel needed, the relationship may be an important part of aging well.
And if something matters to your quality of life, it deserves a place in the plan."

Your life changed. Did your estate plan?
You signed the documents. That mattered. But a new home, a growing business, or a change in your family deserves another look.

For National Estate Planning Awareness Week, October 19 to 25, this week’s article explains when to review what you have. A review does not automatically mean starting over.

🐾 Pets and purpose, by the numbers:
• 83% of pet owners over 50 say their pet gives them a sense of purpose
• 64% say pets help them stay active
• 79% say pets help relieve stress

FAQs about pets and purpose
1) Can I leave money to my pet in case something happens to me?
No, but there are legal tools to assign caregiving and resources to help your beloved companion live a good life.
2) Do pets help older adults stay healthy?
Research says they may. In one poll, 64% of owners 50 to 80 said pets help them stay active. It shows a link, not proof.
3) How do I start talking with my aging parent about "long-term care & aging"?
Try starting with what they love. Ask who they would like to care for their pet if they cannot. The focus on their pet can open a deeper discussion.
