The DOL says it wants clearer, more predictable guidance on who is an employee vs. an independent contractor under the FLSA. The proposed rule also impacts FMLA and MSPA. We broke it down in plain terms. Read our recent blog: https://t.co/lEdttb6M0w

Cleveland is home and giving back matters. Zinner & Co. spent a recent afternoon volunteering at the @CleFoodBank Healthy Choice Market, then reflected together afterward. Read our blog: https://t.co/PkAG2GYC9L

Think “dropped it off by the deadline” is enough? USPS clarified that many items aren’t postmarked until regional processing, sometimes a day or more later. That can mean late filings under IRC §7502. Read our alert: https://t.co/JwzM2muSrl

Service is part of who we are. Our staff and new interns recently volunteered at the @CleFoodBank Healthy Choice Market as personal shopping assistants. See what the day looked like: https://t.co/PkAG2GZ9Zj

1099s on your payroll? The DOL just announced a new proposed rule for independent contractor classification that could change how “employee vs. contractor” is evaluated under the FLSA. We break down what’s changing and what to watch. Read the blog: https://t.co/lEdttb6M0w

[Zinner & Co. CPAs @ZinnerCo]

Taxpayers: This is a deadline risk you can’t ignore. USPS postmarks may reflect processing dates, not local deposit dates, raising penalty and liability exposure. We outline practical steps to reduce risk. Read our blog: https://t.co/JwzM2mvqgT

[Zinner & Co. CPAs @ZinnerCo]

Paper returns, mailed checks, Tax Court petitions: Postmark timing matters. A new USPS rule (DMM 608.11, effective 12/24/25) can shift the postmark date after your drop-off. Protect yourself. Read our blog: https://t.co/JwzM2mvqgT

[Zinner & Co. CPAs @ZinnerCo]

The DOL announced a new proposed rule on independent contractor classification that would rescind the 2024 rule and return to a 2021-style “economic reality” test. What could it mean for employers and workers? Learn more: https://t.co/lEdttb6M0w

Proud moment for our team: Zinner & Co. employees volunteered at the @CleFoodBank Healthy Choice Market, helping neighbors shop, stocking shelves and loading cars. Clients. Culture. Community. Read the full recap: https://t.co/PkAG2GYC9L
