A new campaign called “Save Our Locals” is aiming to help local businesses, particularly during the holiday season.
The Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce is leading the effort to bring awareness to community members on how crucial it is to shop at local, independent businesses to help ensure their survival as restrictions on businesses due to COVID-19 continues to take a toll.
The Chamber is partnering with business organizations across Saratoga County—including Discover Saratoga, Saratoga County Prosperity Partnership, the Mechanicville-Stillwater Chamber of Commerce, the Saratoga Springs Downtown Business Association, Saratoga Springs City Center, and the Ballston Spa Business and Professional Association—in this united effort to save local businesses.
“As winter nears, many local businesses continue to operate with severe restrictions placed on them in the effort to stop the spread of COVID 19,” Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce President Todd Shimkus said.

After being deemed non-essential and forced to close at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, acupuncturists were permitted to reopen in June. During the closure, the Acupuncture Society of New York (ASNY) pushed for the governor to grant the profession essential status.
Licensed acupuncturist Bridgette Shea, owner of Ageless Acupuncture in Saratoga Springs, is treating several patients who recovered from COVID but have lingering and often debilitating symptoms.
“I’m finding that the combination of acupuncture and herbs—Chinese medicine—is what works best,” said Shea. “I treat them with acupuncture because the body work really helps. Most of them have lung stuff going on still or something chest related or upper back related that was related to when they had the actual acute infection. I’ll also do some cupping on their backs to draw out some of the leftover heat, inflammation, or dampness that may still be residing in the body.”

Financial Advisors Urge People Not To Panic Amid The Uncertainty Caused By COVID-19

Posted onNovember 12, 2020November 13, 2020

By Jill Nagy
Get your life in order, think about possible tax changes and, above all, don’t panic. That is the advice of area financial advisors for surviving in the age of COVID-19.
“It’s never been more important to attend to your estate plan,” said Jeff Vahanian of Vahanian & Associates in Saratoga Springs. “We are very aggressive about this. People have had to adjust their behavior in many ways. I hope they refocus on things that matter.”
He urges his clients to have a health care proxy, naming someone to make medical decisions if they are unable to; a living will, to indicate their preferences in connection with medical care; and a power of attorney, appointing someone to make decisions in non-medical matters if they are unable to do so.
“In times like these, they are very critical. Nobody should be without them,” he said.
Vahanian said people with young children to should decide who they want to raise them if they are unable to do so.

Business Report: When Are Meals, Entertainment Deductible?

Posted onNovember 12, 2020November 13, 2020
Joanna Piscitella is a CPA with Hedley & Co. PPLC.

By Joanna Piscitella, CPA
The Internal Revenue Service has issued final regulations on the business expense deduction for meals and entertainment following changes made by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA).
The Treasury Department and the IRS did not receive any requests to speak at a public hearing on the proposed regulations but they had received written and electronic comments in response to the proposed regulations.
These written comments were incorporated into the new regulations.
As a reminder, the 2017 TCJA generally eliminated the deduction for any expenses related to activities generally considered entertainment, amusement or recreation. However, taxpayers may still deduct business expenses related to food and beverages if certain requirements are met (Typically limited to 50 percent of the expenditure).

Business Report: Focus On What You Can Control

The top two questions that financial professionals have been hearing from customers are: “What’s going to happen to my investments and financial plans depending on the results of the presidential election?” and “When will things get back to normal post-COVID?”
While these questions can’t be answered directly, that doesn’t mean we have to sit tight without taking any action.
It’s probably safe to say that 2020 has not unfolded in a way that any of us could have predicted. The COVID-19 pandemic upended everyone’s plans—financially, and in general—starting in March. A busy and heavily contested election season added to the feeling of heading into the unknown.
Whether you’re looking at financial planning for 2021 from the perspective of a business or as an individual, the pandemic isn’t going away and so uncertainty is likely to continue.
To help reduce some stress, take a look at what is in your control and focus on those elements. Financial planning has many components that are squarely within your control.

Business Report: Your Lease Amid COVID-19 Pandemic

Commercial tenants: Remember that extensive and wholly uninteresting document entitled “lease agreement” that you scanned, signed, then shoved into a file folder and never thought of again?
Well, it’s making a comeback.
If you are one of the many businesses struggling to pay your rent due to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, your lease agreement should be one of the first resources to which you turn for guidance.
Like all contracts, commercial leases typically include the standard who, what, where, when, and why provisions of an agreement between a landlord and tenant. But they generally go beyond that as well and many leases, especially long-term ones, also contain lengthy provisions outlining the rights, obligations, and, perhaps most importantly, protections for both landlords and tenants.
