2026 – 05/18 – What’s a “small business,” and why does it matter?

Certain “small businesses” may qualify for several valuable tax breaks. But different tax provisions use different size tests.

For instance, a gross receipts test is used to determine eligibility for cash accounting, simplified inventory rules, the completed contract method, relief from UNICAP requirements and exemption from the business interest deduction limitation. This threshold is adjusted for inflation. For 2026, your business may be eligible if its average annual gross receipts for the prior three-year period were $32 million or less.

Contact us to help evaluate your eligibility for these and other tax-saving opportunities based on your business’s structure and operations.
