TAX CHANGES TO KNOW ABOUT.

Tax season is approaching, and several major changes affect 2025 returns you’ll file in 2026.

While the IRS hasn’t announced the official start date, there are key updates you should know before filing.

-- The standard deduction is going up for 2025 with about a 5% increase on top of normal inflation.

Married couples filing jointly get an extra $1,500.

Seniors 65 and older or those who are blind get an even bigger boost with $2,000 extra for single filers and $1,600 more for each spouse on a joint return.

In 2026 the standard deduction continues rising to $32,200 for married couples filing jointly, $16,100 for single filers, and $24,150 for heads of household.

-- If you’re 65 or older, you may qualify for an additional deduction of up to $6,000 ($12,000 for married couples filing jointly).

-- Families will see a modest boost, with the Child Tax Credit increasing from $2,000 to $2,200 per qualifying child for 2025.

-- Purchased a new American-assembled vehicle in 2025? You might be able to deduct up to $10,000 in interest paid on your loan.

-- Service workers can now deduct up to $25,000 in tip income, while overtime workers can deduct up to $12,500 ($25,000 for joint filers).

Getting your W‑2s, 1099s, and other records organized now will make filing smoother and help you maximize refunds.

If the new bill passes for the child tax credit, what does it mean for you?
Child tax credit
For the Sec. 24 CTC, the bill increases the maximum refundable amount per child to $1,800 in tax year 2023, up from the current $1,600 per child. The amount increases to $1,900 in tax year 2024 and $2,000 in tax year 2025 and includes inflation adjustments for those two years.

The bill would also change how the CTC is calculated. Under current law, taxpayers compute the amount by multiplying their earned income (in excess of $2,500) by 15%. The bill calls for the same percentage but allows taxpayers to multiply that amount by the number of children. This change would be effective for tax years 2023, 2024, and 2025.

The bill has passed the house but now it moves up to the senate.
