Mid-Year Tax Checkup: A Dallas CPA's 5-Point Checklist for Business Owners

DALLAS - Aug. 10, 2026 - PRLog -- With the year now past its halfway mark, Jeff Badu, CPA, founder and CEO of Badu Tax Services, LLC, is urging business owners not to wait until year-end to review their tax position. A mid-year checkup, Badu says, is one of the most overlooked opportunities to catch costly mistakes early and act while there's still time.

"By the time most business owners think about taxes, it's already December — and by then, a lot of your best options are off the table," said Badu. "A mid-year checkup gives you six months of runway to actually do something about what you find."

Badu Tax Services, a Dallas-based CPA firm serving individuals and businesses in all 50 states, recommends business owners run through this five-point checklist before summer ends:

1. Review year-to-date profit and loss to estimate tax liability accurately and avoid surprises at filing time.
2. Reassess quarterly estimated tax payments if income has shifted from what was projected in January.
3. Revisit entity structure — an S-corporation election may now offer meaningful savings for businesses that have grown.
4. Maximize retirement plan contributions to SEP IRAs, Solo 401(k)s, or other vehicles before annual limits are missed.
5. Plan major purchases strategically to maximize deductions, rather than deciding reactively in December.

"None of these steps require a crystal ball," Badu added. "They just require looking at the numbers before the year is almost over. That's the difference between a client who plans and a client who just files."

Badu Tax Services pairs tax planning with tax preparation and representation, giving clients a year-round partner rather than a once-a-year filing service. Clients who engage in year-round tax planning save an average of $17,243 annually compared to those who only file once a year.
