American Academy McAllister Institute Reduces Enrollment Barriers with New 60-Second College Application

New “60-Second” Application Process Removes 20-Page Barrier for Future Funeral Service Professionals

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — In a move to streamline the path to professional funeral service education, the American Academy McAllister Institute (AAMI) has officially launched a simplified college application process that reduces completion time from 45 minutes to approximately 60 seconds. The modernized one-page digital application replaces a former 20-page document, removing administrative friction for prospective students nationwide.

As AAMI enters its centennial year in 2026, the institute continues to bridge its historic legacy with modern innovation. The decision to overhaul the application process addresses the growing demand for “AI-proof” careers in mortuary science, where AAMI maintains a nearly 90% post-graduate employment rate.

“In 1926, our founder Dr. John McAllister believed that those caring for the departed deserved a rigorous medical education,” said Don Cymbor, President of AAMI. “Today, we carry that mission forward by ensuring the first step toward that education is as accessible as possible. We’ve removed the 20-page hurdle so that compassionate individuals can focus on their future careers, not paperwork.”

The new application is optimized for both desktop and mobile use, allowing students to apply for AAMI’s accelerated 18-month mortuary science program with unprecedented speed. The institute’s predominantly online format already accommodates a diverse student body, and this simplified entry point is expected to further diversify the next generation of funeral service professionals.

Prospective students can access the new 60-second application immediately at www.aami.edu.

This conference was about equipping our members with practical frameworks, processes, and the confidence to lead more strategic conversations that ultimately drive better outcomes for their clients.”

The conference also featured various speakers, including The National Association of Benefits and Insurance Professionals (NABIP) President, Susan Rider. A keynote address from leadership and culture expert Rachel Druckenmiller was presented as well. Druckenmiller delivered a powerful message centered on personal growth as a foundation for business success. Her session encouraged attendees to reflect on whom they are helping and why their work matters, prompting participants to share stories and express gratitude to colleagues who have supported their professional journeys.

“Another incredible BAN conference,” said Thomas Murphy, CEO of Sonus Benefits. “While I have been fortunate to be part of Benefit Advisors Network for nearly 20 years, it never ceases to amaze me how many talented members there are across North America. We all share a common goal of being the absolute best for our clients. BAN members are truly innovative thought leaders who continually strive to learn and deliver the most comprehensive and competitive solutions.”

Sam Riddle Raises a Glass to Small-Town Memories with New Single

“Drink With Your Name On It” – Out February 20, 2026

This song is about those places that raised us, the bars, people, and routines. You don’t realize they’re the best days of your life while you’re living them—you only realize it when you look back.”
— Sam Riddle

NASHVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Following the success of his breakout single “Bad Picker,” country singer-songwriter Sam Riddle returns with a heartfelt, barroom anthem that hits hard with nostalgia. His new single, “Drink With Your Name On It,” arrives everywhere on February 20, 2026.

Built on jukebox country, clanking bottles, and blue-collar storytelling, “Drink With Your Name On It” captures the feeling of walking back into the same small-town watering hole years later—where the memories are loud, the beer is cold, and the ghosts still know your name. From peanut shells on the floor to small town USA, Riddle paints a vivid picture of Friday nights that shaped a generation.

“This song is about those places that raised us,” Riddle says. “The bars, the people, the routines. You don’t realize they’re the best days of your life while you’re living them—you only realize it when you look back.”

With its sing-along chorus, sharp imagery, and timeless country soul, “Drink With Your Name On It” positions Sam Riddle as one of the most authentic voices in modern country—with small-town storytelling and arena-ready riffs.

“Drink With Your Name On It” will be available on all streaming platforms February 20, 2026.

TaxZerone Urges S Corporations and Partnerships to File Forms 1120-S and 1065 Before the March 16, 2026 Deadline

S Corporations & Partnerships can now prepare, e-file, and deliver Schedule K-1s easily with TaxZerone — All in One Place

SAN JOSE, CA, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — With the federal business income tax deadline fast approaching, TaxZerone, an IRS-authorized e-file provider, is urging U.S. S-corporations and partnerships to complete their business income tax filings—Form 1120-S and Form 1065—for the 2025 tax year by Monday, March 16, 2026, as the standard March 15 deadline falls on a Sunday. For business owners, accountants, and tax professionals managing multi-owner entities, this deadline carries serious consequences for those who miss it.

For millions of S-corps and partnerships across the country, tax season brings complexity — from generating K-1s for each shareholder or partner, to ensure that every required schedule is complete and accurate. TaxZerone was built specifically to take the guesswork out of this process, giving business owners and their accountants a streamlined, reliable path to compliance.

Business Tax Forms Due by Monday, March 16, 2026
S-corporations and partnerships must file the following federal returns on or before the IRS deadline:
☑️ Form 1120 S: U.S. Income Tax Return for an S-Corporation, including Schedule K-1 for each shareholder reflecting their share of income, deductions, and credits.
☑️ Form 1065: U.S. Return of Partnership Income, including Schedule K-1 for each partner reflecting their distributive share of partnership items.

“S corps and partnerships face unique filing challenges that many businesses don’t,” said a TaxZerone spokesperson. “Preparing accurate K-1s for each shareholder or partner, completing all required schedules, and filing compliant returns—all under deadline pressure—is exactly the kind of challenge TaxZerone was created to solve.”

Supporting Forms & Schedules for Form 1120-S & Form 1065
When you file your S-Corporation (Form 1120-S) or Partnership (Form 1065) return with TaxZerone, you get all the required supporting forms and schedules — at no additional cost.
☑️ Form 4797 – Report sales of business property
☑️ Form 4562 – Claim depreciation and amortization
☑️ Form 8825 – Report rental real estate income and expenses
☑️ Form 1125-A – Report cost of goods sold
☑️ Form 1125-E – Report compensation of officers
☑️ Form 7205 – Claim energy-efficient building deductions
☑️ Form 8949 – Report sales of capital assets

Additional Schedules — Form 1120-S Filers: TaxZerone also supports Schedule D (Form 1120-S), Schedule M-3 (Form 1120-S), Schedule B, Schedule K, Schedule L, Schedule M-1, Schedule M-2

Additional Schedules — Form 1065 Filers: TaxZerone additionally supports Schedule D (Form 1065), Schedule M-3 (Form 1065), Schedule C (Form 1065), Schedule F (Form 1040), Form 8697, Form 8866, Schedule B-1 (Form 1065), Schedule B-2 (Form 1065), Form 8882

No Extra Fees. No Hidden Charges.
TaxZerone includes all required forms and schedules as part of your filing.
You pay once and file completely — simple, clear, and stress-free.

A Simpler Filing Flow Compared to Traditional Tax Software
Unlike many business tax e-filing platforms that require complex navigation, add-on modules, or multiple pricing tiers, TaxZerone delivers a straightforward, guided filing experience designed specifically for S corporations and partnerships.

From entering business details to generating Schedule K-1s and completing all required schedules, the entire process flows seamlessly. Users can review, validate, and e-file their returns with the IRS — no hidden fees, no separate upgrades, no surprises.

Next-Generation E-Filing Platform for Business Tax Returns
TaxZerone’s cloud-based platform eliminates the most common complexities S corporations and partnerships face during tax season.
☑️ Automatic K-1 Generation: TaxZerone automatically generates Schedule K-1 for every shareholder or partner as a standard part of the filing process—no extra steps, no separate fees
☑️ All Supporting Schedules Included: Required IRS schedules and supporting forms are included with your filing—Business owners pay once and file with full compliance.
☑️ Advanced Validation: Built-in checks catch errors and inconsistencies before submission, significantly reducing the risk of IRS rejections or follow-up notices
☑️ No Hidden Charges: Transparent, flat-fee pricing with no surprises at checkout—what you see is what you pay
☑️ Real-Time IRS Acknowledgments: Get instant confirmation once your return is accepted by the IRS.
☑️ Secure Filing: Industry-standard encryption and data security protect your business’s most sensitive financial information throughout the filing process
☑️ Flexible K-1 Delivery Options: Deliver Schedule K-1 to shareholders or partners electronically through ZeroneVault or via postal mail, ensuring secure and convenient distribution.

Need More Time? File an Extension with Form 7004
TaxZerone understands that not every business will be ready to file by March 16. For those that need additional time, TaxZerone fully supports Form 7004—the automatic extension of time to file (not an extension of time to pay taxes owed) for business income tax returns, including Forms 1120-S and 1065.

Note: Business owners who prepay for their required Form 1120-S or 1065 filing with TaxZerone can e-file their Form 7004 extension for FREE.

Affordable and Transparent Pricing
TaxZerone offers complete business tax return filing for Forms 1120-S and 1065 at a flat price of $179.99, with:
✔️ No subscriptions
✔️ No hidden fees
✔️ No monthly charges

This transparent pricing makes professional-grade e-filing accessible for businesses of all sizes.

Expert Support for Businesses and Tax Professionals
TaxZerone provides dedicated support through:
✔️ Live chat
✔️ Email support
✔️ Phone assistance

“Our goal is to simplify business tax filing while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and security,” said a TaxZerone spokesperson. “Whether you’re filing for a single business or managing multiple clients, TaxZerone provides the tools and support needed for successful compliance.”

Beyond Business Tax Returns
While March 16 focuses on S-corporation and partnership returns, TaxZerone supports comprehensive year-round tax compliance, including:
✔️ Information Returns: ACA forms (1095 & 1094), W-2, 1099, 1098 & 5498 series
✔️ Employment Tax Forms: 941, 940, 943, 944, and 945
✔️ Extension Requests: Forms 7004, 4868, 8868, 8809, and 15397
✔️ Nonprofit Returns: Complete 990 series, Form 5227, CA Form 199

Wyman Legal Solutions Launches Free Condo Building Renovation Software for Florida Associations and Owners

New interactive tool helps Florida condo boards and owners plan major capital projects with Florida-specific cost data.

Condo boards face new financial pressures from inspections, reserves, and aging buildings. This software gives them a practical starting point before hiring engineers.”
— — Andrew Wyman, Founder, Wyman Legal Solutions

BOCA RATON, FL, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Wyman Legal Solutions Launches Free Condo Building Renovation Cost Estimator for Florida Associations and Owners

Wyman Legal Solutions has launched a new Condo Building Renovation Cost Estimator, a free online planning tool designed to help Florida condominium associations, board members, and unit owners better understand the potential cost of major building renovations.

The estimator is now available at:
https://wymanlegalsolutions.com/interactives/condo-renovation-estimator_V2.html

The interactive software allows users to enter key building details—such as number of stories, unit count, and scope of work—and receive a planning-level cost estimate for common condominium projects. These may include exterior painting, roofing, balconies, structural repairs, mechanical systems, and elevator modernization.

Unlike generic renovation calculators, the estimator is tailored specifically to Florida condominium buildings and reflects typical cost ranges seen across the state. The tool was developed to help associations and owners plan for major capital projects, understand funding needs, and avoid the financial surprises that often lead to disputes.

“Condo boards and owners are facing significant new financial pressures tied to inspections, reserve requirements, and aging infrastructure,” said Andrew Wyman, founder of Wyman Legal Solutions. “We created this estimator to give people a practical starting point so they can understand the scope of potential costs before they hire engineers or contractors.”

The Condo Building Renovation Cost Estimator is part of Wyman Legal Solutions’ growing library of free interactive planning tools for homeowners, associations, and construction professionals.

In addition to these tools, the firm offers a Renovation Concierge program for condominium buildings and homeowners’ associations. The program is designed for large-scale capital projects and combines construction-law oversight with an Owner’s Representative to help associations navigate complex renovations with greater clarity and control.

Under this program, Wyman Legal Solutions provides legal guidance throughout the project while partnering with a Florida Certified Master Builder who serves as the association’s Owner’s Representative. This dual approach helps boards:
• Evaluate scopes of work before bidding
• Review and negotiate construction contracts
• Monitor project progress and change orders
• Address contractor performance issues early
• Reduce the risk of disputes, delays, and cost overruns

Influential Women Profiles Marge Nellis: Entrepreneur And Media Veteran Launches Creative Ventures, Empowering Adults

LITHIA SPRINGS, GA, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Building a Community of Resilience, Confidence, and Possibility Through Podcasting, Travel, and Storytelling

Lithia Springs, Georgia — Marge Nellis is a seasoned media professional turned multi-passionate entrepreneur, bringing over 20 years of experience from Turner Broadcasting (WBD) into a new chapter defined by empowerment, creativity, and reinvention. As a former DMD Coordinator, Marge managed feeds, trained staff across multiple departments, ensured on-air quality, and served as a subject-matter expert. Yet after decades in the industry, she faced sudden job loss at the age of 59. Rather than letting ageism define her future, Marge transformed this challenge into an opportunity to rebuild her identity and purpose.

In December 2024, Marge launched her podcast, Imagine Over 50, a platform dedicated to helping adults reinvent themselves later in life. Each episode begins with her signature affirmation: “You are strong, intelligent, worthy, and resilient,” a mantra that has quickly become a cornerstone of her brand. Through her podcast, she encourages listeners to reconnect with their inner child, reclaim confidence, and embrace the possibility of starting anew.

Building on this momentum, Marge expanded her creative ventures in 2025 by founding McNellis Travel, a boutique travel agency rooted in storytelling and discovery. “At McNellis Travel, we believe that every journey should be as unique as the traveler. Whether you dream of a relaxing beach escape, an action-packed adventure, or a cultural exploration, we bring your travel vision to life with expert planning and personalized service,” she shares. Specializing in luxury escapes, family vacations, romantic getaways, and adventure travel, McNellis Travel handles every detail to ensure seamless, stress-free experiences tailored to individual styles, interests, and budgets.

In addition to her travel expertise, Marge has designed a wedding planner for brides and grooms, actively supports animal rescue causes, and earned recognition in the October 2025 VoyageATL feature for her authenticity and inspiring reinvention. A proud member of the DWHSA, she leverages her broadcasting background into content creation, combining TikTok videos, YouTube storytelling, and travel expertise to engage and empower her audience.

Marge attributes her success to her unwavering faith in God, which has guided and grounded her through every chapter of her journey. The best career advice she has received is to stay authentic—remaining real, grounded, and true to herself in every setting. For young women entering her industry, Marge advises learning as much as possible, empowering themselves with knowledge and confidence, and establishing healthy boundaries to protect both personal and professional growth.

She recognizes that one of the biggest challenges—and opportunities—in her field is navigating the realities of being a self-funded business owner, a role that demands resilience, creativity, and strategic decision-making at every turn. Honesty, authenticity, and her faith are the core values that guide Marge in both her work and personal life. When challenges arise, she relies on prayer for clarity and strength.

Outside of her professional endeavors, Marge finds joy and balance in crocheting, baking, and caring for her fur babies, activities that keep her grounded, grateful, and connected to what truly matters.

Through her podcast, travel agency, creative projects, and community engagement, Marge Nellis is inspiring adults to embrace courage, self-worth, and the belief that new beginnings are possible at any age. Her journey reflects not only reinvention but a commitment to empowering others to redefine their own paths.
