TAX SEASON IS HERE!
The IRS will begin accepting 2025 tax returns on January 26, 2026, so it’s time to get your documents ready and beat the rush.
What’s NEW this year?
There are some exciting changes that could mean bigger refunds and more savings. I’ll be breaking each one down in upcoming posts.
Here are 5 key updates you need to know:
1. Higher Child Tax Credit amounts helping families keep more of what they earn. 
2. No federal tax on tips for qualifying workers; a big win for service industry earners. 
3. New deduction for overtime pay allowing folks to keep more of their hard-earned overtime income. 
4. Increased standard deductions & inflation-adjusted brackets, meaning lower taxable income for many. 
5. New retirement and savings incentives (like Trump Accounts for kids under 18) provide more ways to plan for the future. 
Stay tuned. I’ll dive deeper into each credit and deduction soon so you can make the most of your refund.
