💼 Paid Family & Medical Leave Tax Credit for Employers

Offering paid family and medical leave may do more than support your team—it may also make your business eligible for a federal tax credit.

Eligible employers can receive a credit of 12.5% to 25% of qualifying paid leave wages or eligible PFML insurance premiums, for up to 12 weeks per employee each year.

The credit may apply to leave for:

👶 Welcoming a new baby, adoption, or foster placement
❤️ Caring for an employee’s own serious health condition
👨‍👩‍👧 Caring for a spouse, child, or parent with a serious health condition
🇺🇸 Addressing certain military-family needs
🩺 Caring for an injured or seriously ill servicemember

Recent enhancements include:
✨ The credit is now permanent
✨ Eligibility may begin after 6 months of service
✨ Part-time employees working 20+ hours per week may qualify
✨ Employers may use qualifying wages paid during leave or qualifying PFML insurance premiums
✨ State and local mandated leave may help satisfy federal eligibility requirements

Don’t wait until October 15 to file your extended federal tax return. Taking a few simple steps now can help make the process faster, easier, and more accurate.

Tips for Extension Filers
Gather and review your tax documents. Having complete, accurate records can help prevent errors and processing delays. You can also use your IRS Individual Online Account to review account information and transcripts, make payments, and manage communication preferences.

See whether you qualify for free filing. IRS Free File is available to eligible taxpayers with 2025 adjusted gross income of $89,000 or less. Free File Fillable Forms are also available for those who are comfortable preparing and electronically filing their own return.

Explore free tax-preparation help. Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs may provide free basic return preparation for qualified individuals, including people who may qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit, people with disabilities, and taxpayers with limited English proficiency.

Choose a tax professional carefully. If you plan to use a tax preparer, take time to select someone qualified and trustworthy. Review the IRS guidance for choosing a tax professional before sharing your financial information.

File before the deadline. An extension to file is not an extension to pay. The filing deadline for most extension filers is October 15, 2026. Filing electronically and selecting direct deposit is generally the fastest and safest way to receive a refund.

Know your payment options. If you owe taxes and cannot pay the full balance, pay as much as possible by the deadline to help reduce interest and late-payment penalties. The IRS offers payment plans and other options for eligible taxpayers.

Taxpayers in federally declared disaster areas may have additional time to file. Visit IRS.gov for current disaster-relief information, payment options, and filing resources.

Got a Letter from the IRS? Don't Toss It.

Every spring and summer, a few of you call me in a mild panic because an envelope from the IRS just showed up in the mailbox. Take a breath. Most of these letters are routine, and the worst thing you can do is set it aside and forget about it.

Here is how I'd like you to handle one if it lands in your hands.

Read the notice to understand why the IRS contacted you.

Compare any changes or amounts listed with your tax return.

Respond promptly if the letter requests information, payment, or a response.

If you disagree, follow the dispute instructions in the notice—and contact me before replying.

Keep IRS notices with your tax records for at least three years.

Be alert for scams: the IRS does not contact taxpayers through social media or demand immediate payment by unexpected phone call or text. Their first contact is generally by mail.

Not sure what you received? Scan the letter and send it to me. I am happy to review it before it becomes a bigger issue.

The IRS Independent Office of Appeals provides taxpayers with a fair and unbiased review of certain IRS determinations.

A few important reminders:

Your appeal request must be submitted in writing.

Mail your request to the IRS office listed in the letter that explains your appeal rights.

Do not send your request directly to Appeals, as this can delay the process.

Appeals conferences may be held by phone, video, mail, or in person.

If more than 120 days have passed without an update, contact the IRS office you last worked with for a status update.

During the appeal, an Appeals officer will review the facts, applicable law, and information from both you and the IRS. The result may uphold the IRS decision, find in the taxpayer’s favor, or lead to a compromise when the facts or law are unclear.

Learn more about your Taxpayer Bill of Rights and the IRS appeals process at IRS.gov.

Your Taxpayer Rights Matter. 📢

Did you know you have the right to appeal most IRS decisions—including many penalties—in a fair and impartial forum?

Under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, the IRS Independent Office of Appeals must remain separate from the office that originally reviewed your case. If you disagree with an IRS decision, you may have options to appeal, request a written response, or—when applicable—petition U.S. Tax Court.

If you receive an IRS notice, don’t ignore it. Review it carefully, watch all deadlines, and consider speaking with a qualified tax professional about your situation.

Learn more through IRS Publication 5, Your Appeal Rights and How to Prepare a Protest If You Don’t Agree.

🚨 Tax Tip Alert: Watch Out for Charity Scams 🚨

Scammers often create fake charities—especially after disasters—to collect donations and personal info. Before you give:

✅ Verify the charity on IRS.gov (Tax Exempt Organization Search)
✅ Keep receipts & documentation for all donations
✅ Remember: Only gifts to qualified tax‑exempt orgs may be deductible
✅ Avoid “too-good-to-be-true” promises about big tax write-offs
