YOUR TAX RETURN CAN BE 💯 % ACCURATE AND STILL COST YOU THOUSANDS!

🇺🇸🍀Let that sink in!

Just because your taxes were filed correctly doesn't mean they were filed using the most beneficial strategy available to you.

You can follow every IRS rule and STILL miss opportunities to legally reduce your tax liability.

🇺🇸🍀And here's the part that gets me...

The IRS is not required to personally call you and explain every tax-saving opportunity you overlooked!

🇺🇸🍀That's why pre-tax season matters!

Because the biggest tax mistake isn't always what you did WRONG.

Sometimes it's what you never knew you could do RIGHT!

🇺🇸 A little history, a little reflection, and a reminder from Professional Tax Service!

As we observe Columbus Day, please remember that federal offices, including the IRS, are generally closed for the holiday.

While government offices take a holiday, tax deadlines are still approaching!

📌 OCTOBER 15 is the federal filing deadline for most taxpayers who requested an extension for their 2025 tax returns.

Enjoy your holiday, stay informed, and stay ahead!

BEFORE YOU FILE THOSE TAXES… WATCH THIS!

6 things that could put your tax return on the IRS radar! 🚩

You might learn something BEFORE tax season!

🎂 TURNING 73 THIS YEAR? THE IRS MAY BE WAITING ON YOU!

If you're turning 73 in 2026, it's time to start talking about Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)!

An RMD is the minimum amount the IRS generally requires you to withdraw annually from certain retirement accounts, including traditional IRAs and many employer-sponsored retirement plans.

🎂HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!

✔️ Your first RMD for 2026 is generally due by April 1, 2027.

✔️ Waiting until 2027 to take your first RMD means you'll also need to take your second RMD by December 31, 2027.

✔️ Missing an RMD can result in an IRS excise tax of 25% of the amount not withdrawn, potentially reduced to 10% if corrected within the required timeframe.

🇺🇸PTS TAX TIP: Don't wait until the deadline to understand your retirement withdrawal requirements. Planning ahead could help you avoid unnecessary penalties!

💔DIVORCED THIS YEAR WITH KIDS?

🗣IT’S TIME TO START HAVING THOSE TOUGH CONVERSATIONS!

The marriage may be over, but the TAX RESPONSIBILITIES ARE NOT!

Before tax season arrives, there are some conversations you and your former spouse need to have.

Who will claim the children?

Who qualifies for the Child Tax Credit?

🏠 Who qualifies for Head of Household?

📄 What does your divorce agreement actually say?

And here's where things get interesting...

PAYING CHILD SUPPORT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO CLAIM THE CHILDREN!

The IRS has specific rules involving custody, residency, dependency, and certain tax benefits. Even a divorce agreement doesn't automatically override federal tax law.

🇺🇸PTS TAX TIP: Have these conversations NOW, not when both parents are trying to file a return claiming the same child in January! 😩😂

THE RELATIONSHIP ENDED. THE TAX CONVERSATION STILL NEEDS TO HAPPEN!

🎰💰 HIT THE CASINO? WON BIG, THEN GAVE MOST OF IT RIGHT BACK?

You walked into the casino feeling lucky.

Won $10,000. 🤑 Lost $8,000. 😩 Walked out with $2,000.

🏦🕵‍♂️BUT THE IRS HAS A DIFFERENT WAY OF LOOKING AT THOSE NUMBERS!

For the 2026 tax year, gambling winnings are generally taxable, and gambling losses are subject to specific deduction rules.

Here's the part that might surprise you:

Under the NEW federal rules for 2026, eligible taxpayers can generally deduct only 90% of qualifying gambling losses, up to the amount of their gambling winnings, when itemizing deductions.

That means winning $10,000 and losing $8,000 could leave you reporting $10,000 in winnings with only $7,200 in deductible losses, even though you actually walked away with just $2,000!

And yes, documentation matters!

🇺🇸 PTS TAX TALK: 🎰 The casino might take your money, but the IRS still wants to know what happened at the table! 😂💰

🫴💸 SOMEBODY OWES YOU MONEY AND NEVER PAID YOU BACK?

😬🏦THE IRS MAY CARE.

That loan you made to a friend, family member, or somebody who suddenly developed amnesia when repayment day arrived could potentially have a tax consequence.

Under federal tax rules, a bona fide personal loan that becomes completely worthless may qualify as a nonbusiness bad debt.

But before everybody starts deducting the $800 their cousin owes them... NO! 😂‼️

🇺🇸You generally need to be able to show that:

• It was a real loan, not a gift.
• There was an actual expectation of repayment.
• The debt became completely worthless.
• You had a legitimate basis in the debt.

Qualifying nonbusiness bad debts are generally reported as short term capital losses, which means the deduction works differently from simply subtracting the entire amount from your income.

🇺🇸PTS TAX EDUCATION: Sometimes money you LOST can matter just as much as money you MADE.

OCTOBER EXTENSIONS ARE QUICKLY APPROACHING!!!!

📌Here’s your friendly PTS reminder: If you requested an extension for your 2025 federal income tax return, you have until October 15, 2026, to file!

Remember, an extension gave you more time to file, not more time to PAY. Any estimated taxes owed were still due by April 15, 2026.

The clock is ticking don’t wait until the last minute! The next tax session is loading soon..
