Hot Topics/ Regulation Changes

All previous tax legislation passed in the last seven years is scheduled to sunset on 12/31/2025. This means that although there were not any major changes in 2024, this coming year is the last year to take advantage of the substantial tax cuts provided until the end of 2025. We recommend that you review our blog (see link below) on the tax legislation passed in 2023, so that you can maximize these opportunities now before wide-sweeping changes in 2026. Here are the most important changes that you can still consider for this tax season…

  • Energy efficient home improvement credits
  • Electric vehicle tax credits
  • Student loan interest adjustments
  • RMD age changing
  • New reporting requirements for 1099-K
  • IRS increases mileage rate – Note: In 2024, the rate increased from 65.5 cents to 67 cents per mile driven for business use.
