Business InformationCommunity NewsChamber Member

February 2026 — Dube & Associates, P.C., a Leominster-based accounting and tax firm, has released its February 2026 e-newsletter featuring timely guidance on tax strategies, estate planning updates, and financial tools to help individuals and businesses plan for the year ahead.

This month’s featured articles highlight several important topics impacting taxpayers in 2026 and beyond:

Maximizing Rental Real Estate Deductions
The newsletter explains how federal tax rules often classify rental activities as passive, limiting the ability to deduct losses. However, taxpayers who qualify for the real estate professional exception may be able to convert suspended losses into immediate tax savings.

Estate Planning for 2026 and Beyond
Recent legislation has increased the federal gift and estate tax exemption to $15 million beginning in 2026, with annual inflation adjustments and no expiration date. While this offers greater planning certainty for higher-net-worth individuals and families, the firm notes that future legislative changes could still affect exemption levels.

Self-Directed IRA Opportunities
With the April 15, 2026 deadline approaching for 2025 IRA contributions, the newsletter outlines how self-directed IRAs can provide broader investment flexibility beyond traditional stocks and bonds, while also emphasizing the added responsibilities and complexities involved.

Additional Tax Guidance
The February issue also includes practical tax tips and updates for both individuals and businesses, including:

  • Upcoming 2026 tax law changes for businesses

  • Tax considerations for divorced parents

  • Key tax steps when closing a business

  • Five ways to expand the use of QuickBooks Online

  • Important February and March tax due dates

“Our goal is to keep clients informed and proactive,” said a representative of Dube & Associates, P.C. “Tax rules and planning opportunities continue to evolve, and staying ahead of deadlines and law changes can make a meaningful financial difference.”

The full February newsletter is available on the firm’s website.
