With the shutdown limiting IRS operations, new guidance continues under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)—including the restored $20,000/200-transaction Form 1099-K thresholds retroactive to 2022, ERC compliance updates, and transitional rules tied to a new vehicle loan interest deduction starting in 2025. The newsletter also tracks litigation around SNAP benefits and notes Social Security’s 2026 COLA. Small businesses should watch reporting changes, deadlines, and ACA credit debates shaping 2026 costs.
Tying it together: From AI reshaping on-the-job learning, marketing, and clinical workflows to a tech sector sprinting into the holidays and evolving tax rules under a shutdown, the through-line is adaptation. Small businesses that pilot practical AI, track what moves the needle, and stay current on policy changes will be best positioned to grow—efficiently and responsibly—into 2026.
