Yes, if you own stock that's increased in value, donating the shares directly to a qualified charity can save you capital gains taxes while giving you a potential charitable deduction.
๐๐น๐ข๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ: You bought stock for $5,000 a few years ago. Today, it's worth $20,000.
If you sell it, you realize a $15,000 taxable capital gain, even if you donate all the proceeds afterward.
But if you transfer the shares directly to the charity, you avoid realizing that gain. And if you've held the stock for more than a year and itemize, you may be able to deduct its full $20,000 value (subject to IRS deduction limits).
So, if you're planning year-end charitable donations, it's worth looking at the investments you already own before writing a check.

A good starting point is enough cash to cover three to six months of essential operating expenses. You'll also want to set aside money for taxes, based on what you expect to owe.
But the exact amount depends on how your business brings in money.
If you have predictable, recurring revenue (like monthly retainers or subscriptions), three months of expenses may be enough.
If you carry inventory, work on large projects, or experience big seasonal swings, you'll likely need closer to six months.
As for taxes, for most pass-through entities (LLCs, sole props), a good starting point is transferring ๐ฎ๐ฑ%โ๐ฏ๐ฌ% ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ต๐น๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ณ๐ถ๐ into a dedicated tax account to cover both income and self-employment taxes.
Remember, the IRS expects quarterly estimated payments, so you'll be emptying that reserve four times a year. (We can help you dial in your exact percentage.)

Mistakes happen, whether a return was prepared by tax software or another preparer. We can take a second look, identify errors or missed opportunities, and amend the return when a correction is needed.
