  • 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
    ✔️ Excise Tax Filings: Form 2290 (Heavy Vehicle Use Tax) and 8849
    ✔️ Essential Forms: W-9, W-8BEN, 8655, and BOI Reports

  • 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

    These services are designed to give associations a single, coordinated team focused on protecting the building, the board, and the owners throughout major renovation projects.

    Users can access the full library of planning tools at:

  • 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.

  • 1VALET NAMES DEMETRIOS BARNES CEO

    Leadership Transition Positions 1VALET to Scale Its Unified Smart Building Operating System Across North America

    OTTAWA, ONTARIO, CANADA, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — 1VALET Corp., a leader in smart building operating systems and video intercoms, today announced the appointment of Demetrios Barnes as Chief Executive Officer, effective today.

    Barnes brings deep operational, go-to-market, and capital markets experience to 1VALET. Most recently, he served as Chief Operating Officer of SmartRent, where he helped scale the business into a global proptech platform and supported its transition to a publicly traded company. His career spans high-growth startups and scaled operating environments, with a consistent focus on execution, customer outcomes, and disciplined growth across hardware, software, and services.

    As part of this leadership evolution, Jean-Pierre Poulin, founder of 1VALET, will transition to the role of Executive Chairman. In this capacity, Poulin will step back from day-to-day operations and focus on Board leadership, strategic guidance, and key external relationships, while continuing to support the Company’s long-term vision.

    Since founding 1VALET, Poulin has built one of the industry’s most comprehensive smart building platforms—grounded in firsthand experience as an owner and operator. Under his leadership, 1VALET established a strong reputation for reliability, deep hardware-software integration, and a customer-first approach that has resonated with developers, asset managers, and operators across North America.

    “Demetrios is a proven operator with deep credibility across the real estate and proptech ecosystems,” said Jean-Pierre Poulin, Executive Chairman of 1VALET. “The Board believes this transition positions 1VALET to execute with greater focus and scale, while preserving the strong foundation, culture, and customer trust we have built over the years.”

    “The real estate industry is ready for a smarter, more complete approach to building technology,” said Barnes. “Jean-Pierre built 1VALET with a clear vision rooted in real-world operational experience, and that foundation is evident in both the product and the culture. What excites me most is the strength of the platform and the team behind it.”

    Barnes also highlighted the role of 1VALET’s technology leadership in shaping that platform. “The work Hanna and the engineering organization have delivered is exceptional,” Barnes added. “They’ve built an enterprise-grade, deeply integrated system that reflects how buildings actually operate. I’m excited to partner closely with Hanna as we continue to scale the product and push the boundaries of what a smart building platform can be.”
    Barnes pointed to a broader inflection point in the proptech industry. “There is a growing gap in our space: products that don’t work well together, companies losing focus, prioritizing profits over partnerships, and app fatigue that’s creating real dissatisfaction among the operators and residents we’re supposed to serve,” Barnes said. “Partners are being forgotten. At 1VALET, a company built by operators for operators, we believe proptech is about partnerships, trust, and being relentlessly great at what you do. That’s where my focus is. Full stop.”

    Under Barnes’ leadership, 1VALET will focus on accelerating its position as the most complete smart building platform in the market, bringing together access control, video intercoms, IoT, resident experience, and building operations into a single, unified system. The Company will prioritize disciplined growth across North America while advancing a measured international expansion strategy rooted in strong local partnerships, regulatory alignment, and operational readiness.

    “As a former asset manager myself, I know the pressure teams face to deliver better resident experiences while managing complexity behind the scenes,” Barnes said. “Our mission is simple: make buildings work better for everyone. By combining best-in-class technology with a relentless focus on execution, we believe 1VALET is uniquely positioned to define the future of smart communities.”

    About 1VALET

    1VALET is a leading smart building operating system designed to connect residents, property teams, and building infrastructure through a single, unified platform. By integrating access control, video intercoms, IoT devices, and a powerful resident app into one web-based dashboard, 1VALET helps owners and operators enhance resident engagement, improve operational efficiency, increase NOI, and create safer, smarter communities.

  • Rocky Duval to Present MELZITA Immersive Album Release Concert at EdgeCut Arts in NYC Feb. 21

    NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Rocky Duval is pleased to announce she will present an immersive album release concert for MELZITA on February 21, 2026, at EdgeCut Arts (457 Broome St., New York, NY; enter through FILD). The event begins at 7:00 p.m., with tickets offered as a $25 suggested donation. The program is designed as a hybrid listening-and-live performance experience, pairing focused playback moments with live performance to highlight the album’s musical detail, text, and sound design.

    At its core, MELZITA is a new interpretation of music connected to St. Hildegard of Bingen, developed by New York–based mezzo-soprano Rocky Duval and engineer/producer Andrea Roberts. The seven-track album includes three works drawn from Hildegard’s repertoire alongside four original compositions by Duval written in Lingua Ignota, Hildegard’s “unknown” language. Created as a bridge between medieval composition and contemporary aesthetics, the album moves between stark, voice-forward textures and modern production approaches that expand the emotional and sonic palette of the source material.

    Duval and Roberts, friends since childhood, conceived the project as a cohesive listening journey from very old to very new sounds. Some tracks build a drone bed using only voices or violin, while others introduce layered, contemporary elements. While Hildegard’s work has been approached through many interpretive lenses over the decades, MELZITA is positioned as an album-length exploration of continuity, connecting chant tradition, original poetry, and current sound design practices without treating the historical material as museum-piece repertoire.

    A central aspect of the project is its use of Lingua Ignota as an active writing tool. Drawing from the historical vocabulary list, Duval formed four poems, “Aieganz (Angels),” “O Liuionz (O Savior),” “Cauiz, Harizima, Ziuienz (Crickets, Saints of the Fields),” and “Ispariz (Spirit),” and composed new works from these texts. “O Liuionz” is written as a stylistic pastiche of Hildegard’s compositional language, while the other new pieces lean toward modern folk or contemporary choral writing, again emphasizing the album’s connective aim.

    The title MELZITA means “honey,” referencing Hildegard’s legacy as a naturalist and healer while also serving as an artistic reminder to prioritize softness, clarity, and care across the album’s musical choices.

    “This concert is built to let audiences hear the album as a complete world and then experience it live, in the room,” says Rocky Duval. “Hildegard’s music can feel both ancient and immediate. With MELZITA, we wanted to honor that duality; bridging chant, poetry, and sound design, and giving Lingua Ignota the chance to be heard as language, not only as history.”

    The album features Rocky Duval (vocals), with compositions by Hildegard of Bingen and Rocky Duval, arrangements by Rocky Duval and Andrea Roberts, engineering and production by Andrea Roberts, violin by Lily Lyons, keyboards by Andrea Roberts, and mastering by Jett Galindo.

  • Consolidus Closes 2025 with Continued Accelerated Growth as Public Institutions Consolidate Branded Purchasing

    With strong growth in each quarter, the branded solutions leader added a record number of new clients as the industry had its weakest year since the pandemic.

    That 230% increase tells me that more institutions are recognizing this is as no longer a ‘nice-to-have,’ but how modern procurement should work.”
    — Jeffrey Jones

    AKRON, OH, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Consolidus, the leading solution to consolidate, govern, and automate institutional branded purchasing for public sector agencies, today announced continued accelerated growth through the second half of 2025, closing the year with strong momentum despite ongoing macroeconomic volatility and tariff-related uncertainty that weighed on the broader industry.

    Building on a record-setting first half, the company maintained double-digit, year-over-year growth through Q3 and Q4 as universities, local governments increasingly turned to Consolidus to centralize and streamline branded merchandise purchasing.

    New contract bookings in higher education and government increased 230% year-over-year in 2025. This sharp acceleration reflects growing institutional demand for a more structured, technology-centered approach to managing branded merchandise purchases at scale.

    Notable new higher education partnerships signed in the second half include:

    * University of South Florida

    * University of Michigan

    * North Carolina State University

    * Auburn University

    Consolidus also recorded a milestone year in local government expansion, adding a record number of new counties and cities nationwide.

    Growth Against Industry Headwinds

    The company’s full-year results for growth in 2025 are especially notable given the challenges facing the broader promotional products industry. According to ASI Research, U.S. promotional products sales declined for the first two quarters of 2025, the first back-to-back quarterly drops since the COVID-19 pandemic, with a single-digit rebound in the second half of the year. Companies serving the education sector were hit hardest due to budget pressures and tariff uncertainty.

    Yet Consolidus, whose primary market includes higher education, consistently accelerated through those same headwinds.

    “Our 2025 results speak to something that goes beyond a good sales year,” said Jeffrey Jones, Founder and CEO of Consolidus. “When the rest of the industry is contracting in this environment where institutions are under more scrutiny than ever to manage spend responsibly, organizations don’t stop buying branded merchandise – they just look for a smarter way to do it. That’s exactly what Consolidus provides, and we are proud to help them do so more efficiently.

    “Our clients can now consolidate their spend, automate time-consuming processes, get data visibility they didn’t have before, and protect their brand equity in the process. That 230% increase tells me that more institutions are recognizing this is as no longer a ‘nice-to-have,’ but how modern procurement should work.”

    Looking Ahead

    As public-sector organizations continue to modernize procurement practices, Consolidus remains focused on delivering integrated technology, quality products, access to co-op purchasing, and high-touch account support, all tailored to the unique needs and complexity of higher education and government organizations.

    “I’m incredibly proud of our team for what they’ve accomplished this year,” said Jones. “And I’m grateful to our clients who continue to push us to be better. Whether it’s a huge research university or a smaller HBCU, every institution we work with deserves a smarter way to manage branded purchasing, helping their organizations make a lasting impression. That’s what gets us excited about the work we do each day.”
