(And the one that changed for 2026, so the old $600 answer is the wrong answer now.)

Four minutes to read. Check yourself against all five before they turn into a real problem.

I’m a QuickBooks ProAdvisor. If you’re doing your own books, these are the five I’d check first:

1. The 1099 threshold, which moved from $600 to $2,000 for 2026.
2. Business and personal money in one account.
3. Books nobody has reconciled in months.
4. Quarterly estimated payments that got missed.
5. Transactions filed where they don’t belong.
