Nonprofits: Get the word out about IRA qualified charitable distributions
Qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) have been beneficial for donors and nonprofits for almost 20 years. Enhancements in the SECURE 2.0 Act have made QCDs even more appealing, but you may need to educate your supporters about them. Contact the CPAs and nonprofit advisors at SEK to learn more.

What are the duties of an executor?
A key decision you must make when drafting your estate plan is who to appoint as the executor. Your first inclination may be to name a family member. But this can cause complications. Frequently, a professional advisor whom you trust is a good alternative. Contact the estate planning advisors at SEK with your questions.
Seller-paid points: Can homeowners deduct them?
Potential homebuyers may now have an opportunity to attain their dreams of purchasing property. If you’re a homebuyer, you may wonder if you can deduct mortgage points paid on your behalf by the seller. The answer is “yes,” subject to some limits. Contact the CPAs and tax advisors at SEK for answers to your tax questions.
Make year-end tax planning moves before it’s too late!
It’s an ideal time to begin making moves that could reduce your tax bills for 2024 and 2025. If you itemize deductions, you may be able to deduct medical expenses, state and local taxes up to $10,000, charitable donations, and eligible mortgage interest. Contact the CPAs and tax advisors at SEK for assistance.
How to protect your nonprofit’s credit cards from misuse
Without a credit card use policy, you could have trouble responding satisfactorily if a staffer misuses your organization’s card. You may also have a hard time recovering funds lost as a result of improper charges. So it’s important to craft a policy explicitly stating that employees can’t use a work-issued card for personal expenses. Contact the CPAs and nonprofit advisors at SEK for help preventing fraud.
