Two laws enacted in 2025 may shift how Social Security benefits are taxed in the coming year. The recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill introduces a new $6,000 senior deduction for individuals age 65 and older, available through 2028. Eligibility depends on income: the full deduction applies up to $75,000 for single filers and $150,000 for married couples, and phases out above those levels.

At the same time, the Social Security Fairness Act may increase taxable income for some retirees by restoring benefits to pensioners who previously saw reductions or exclusions. Some beneficiaries will also receive lump-sum payments dating back to January 2024, which may raise the portion of their benefits subject to federal tax.

Tax forms SSA-1099 and SSA-1042S reflecting 2025 benefits will be available online beginning December 25, with mailed copies expected by late January. These forms outline total benefits received for the year and help determine any federal tax owed.

New laws enacted in 2025 may impact just how much federal taxes Social Security beneficiaries owe on their benefit income. Here's how experts say to plan.

As the U.S. enters 2026, economists are watching several key factors that may influence the economic landscape in the year ahead. While growth held up better than expected in 2025, many households continue to feel pressure from elevated costs.

Among the biggest questions are whether inflation will continue to cool, how the Federal Reserve may respond to changes in employment, and whether housing affordability will improve gradually over time. Experts are also monitoring how the adoption of artificial intelligence could affect job growth and productivity, as well as whether stock market gains can be broadened beyond a small group of leading companies.

Taken together, these factors suggest a year shaped less by dramatic shifts and more by gradual adjustment, as businesses and consumers respond to evolving economic conditions.

December will be over before we know it, so we’re sharing an urgent reminder about annual required minimum distributions. Take a look below at key information for Americans who are 73 years or older.

🔹If you turned 73 in 2025, you have until April 2026 to take your first distribution. However, you will need to take your second distribution by December 31, 2026. Taking both in 2026 could have negative tax impacts. Discuss the best course of action with your financial advisor.

🔹If you’re age 74 or older, the IRS requires you to take an RMD from certain retirement accounts by December 31st.

🔹Applicable accounts include: Traditional IRAs, SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, 401(k)s, 403(b)s, and 457(b)s. However, the IRS does not require RMDs from Roth IRAs, Roth 401(k)s, or Roth 403(b)s while the account holder is living.

🔹Missing the deadline could result in a penalty of 25% of the RMD amount and 10% if corrected within two years for IRAs.

Have questions about RMDs or other investing matters? Give us a call today.
