Enhanced Tax Credit Can Help Cover 2026 Care Costs – Did You Know? (1/2)

If you pay for care for your qualifying child under age 13, or for your spouse or other qualifying person who is physically or mentally incapable of self-care and lives with you for more than half the year, then you may qualify for a federal tax credit. The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC) can help cover care expenses you pay in order to work or seek work. Rule changes that took effect this year have made the CDCTC more valuable for many households.

As in past years, you may use up to $3,000 of eligible expenses to figure the credit for one qualifying person, or up to $6,000 for two or more qualifying persons. However, beginning in 2026, the maximum credit rate increased from 35% to 50% of eligible expenses. The applicable percentage declines as adjusted gross income rises, but many households may qualify for a larger credit than under prior law. The increase can be as much as $900 for taxpayers with two or more qualifying persons.

In general, the CDCTC is available for all filing statuses except married filing separately (MFS). However, MFS filers may qualify if they meet special requirements, including filing separately, maintaining a home for a qualifying person for more than half the year, paying more than half the cost of maintaining the home, and not living with their spouse during the last six months of the year. To claim the credit, you must provide information about both the care recipient and care provider on your tax return. A tax professional can help you determine whether you are eligible for the CDCTC, and if so, help you meet the reporting requirements to claim the largest possible credit.

Educator Classroom Expense Deduction – Did You Know?

Eligible K-12 teachers, instructors, counselors, principals and aides who pay for classroom supplies out of pocket may deduct up to $350 of qualifying expenses per year. Married couples filing jointly who are both eligible educators may deduct up to $350 each, for a combined maximum of $700.

You do not need to itemize deductions to claim this deduction. Be sure to keep receipts and other records for any classroom expenses you plan to deduct.

If you filed a tax extension, August is an ideal time to get organized and stay ahead of the October deadline.

We recommend using this time to gather any missing documents, confirm all income items have been accounted for, and carefully review potential deductions. Taking these steps now can help reduce stress, minimize errors, and avoid a last-minute rush as the deadline approaches.

Our team is here to provide guidance and ensure your return is completed accurately and on time. If you filed an extension and would like support, we invite you to contact Professional Tax Solutions, Inc. to get started.

Understanding key accounting terms can make a meaningful difference when reviewing your tax situation. Here are three important concepts explained in plain English:

Taxable income: This is the portion of your income that is subject to tax after adjustments and deductions are applied. It determines how much tax you owe.

Deductions: Deductions reduce your taxable income. Common examples include certain business expenses, mortgage interest, and charitable contributions.

Credits: Credits directly reduce the amount of tax you owe, dollar for dollar. In many cases, they provide greater savings than deductions.

If you would like help understanding your tax picture or how these terms apply to your situation, we invite you to contact our office to speak with our team.

August is an ideal time to begin year-end tax projections rather than waiting until December. Taking a proactive approach allows us to review income, withholding, estimated tax payments, retirement contributions, charitable giving, and business deductions while there is still time to make meaningful adjustments.

By planning ahead, we can help identify opportunities, reduce surprises, and keep your overall tax strategy aligned with your financial goals.

If you would like to get ahead of year-end planning, we invite you to schedule a conversation with Professional Tax Solutions, Inc. Our team is here to provide thoughtful, personalized guidance.

Major Higher Education Tax Credits Now Require Valid SSN – Did You Know?

The American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC) and Lifetime Learning Credit (LLC) help many Americans pay for higher education. For eligible students pursuing a degree or other recognized credential, the AOTC can cover up to $2,500 in tuition, required school fees and certain course materials per year. Meanwhile, the LLC can offset up to $2,000 per tax return for qualified education expenses for eligible students taking higher education courses for a variety of reasons.

Beginning with tax year 2026, the taxpayer claiming either the AOTC or LLC (and spouse, if filing jointly) must have a Social Security number (SSN) valid for work in the United States that was issued before the due date of the tax return, including extensions. If the eligible student is not the person claiming the credit (for example, if the student is that person's dependent or spouse), then the student must also have a valid SSN issued by that deadline. Other qualification requirements, such as income limits, remain in effect. A tax professional can help you determine whether the higher education expenses you pay for yourself, your spouse or a dependent qualify for a tax benefit.

Unexpected calls, texts, emails, or letters claiming to be from the IRS can be concerning—and in many cases, they may be scams. We encourage our clients to approach any tax-related communication with caution.

Legitimate IRS notices should be reviewed carefully and verified before taking any action. The IRS will never demand immediate payment or request sensitive personal or financial information through unsolicited communication. Sharing information without confirming the source can put you at risk.

If you receive a notice and are unsure of its legitimacy, we are here to help. Contact Professional Tax Solutions, Inc. for guidance and peace of mind at (541) 885-2170.

Keeping accurate and organized records is essential for rental property owners, especially when it comes to tax reporting. We recommend maintaining detailed documentation for rental income, repairs, maintenance, mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, mileage, and any other rental-related expenses. Clear records not only support accurate Schedule E reporting but also help ensure you are prepared in the event of an IRS inquiry.

Staying organized throughout the year can make tax preparation more efficient and reduce the risk of missed deductions. Whether you use digital tools or traditional methods, consistency and thoroughness are key to effective recordkeeping.

If you have questions about Schedule E recordkeeping or need guidance tailored to your situation, we encourage you to contact our office. Our team at Professional Tax Solutions is here to help.

Seasonal Employers - Did You Know?

Summer is a peak time for many businesses to hire seasonal employees. In general, the same federal tax rules apply to these workers as to permanent staff. Employers typically must withhold federal income tax and F**A (Social Security and Medicare) taxes and pay the employer share of F**A. Employers subject to FUTA must also pay federal unemployment tax on taxable wages.

Seasonal employers often must file Form 941 (Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return) for quarters in which they pay wages. However, they generally do not need to file for quarters in which they paid no wages and have no employment tax liability. If this applies, check the "Seasonal Employer" box on every Form 941 you file.

Employment taxes generally must be deposited monthly or semiweekly, based on the applicable lookback period. FUTA follows separate deposit rules and generally must be deposited when accumulated FUTA tax exceeds $500 for a quarter. Federal tax deposits must be made electronically, including through EFTPS.
