💍 GETTING MARRIED? YOUR TAX FILING STATUS MAY CHANGE ALONG WITH YOUR LAST NAME!

Going from Single or Head of Household to married can change your tax bill, your refund, and the credits you qualify for. Before you file the same way you did last year, here’s what you need to know. 👇

📅 1. Your marital status on December 31 generally determines your filing status for the entire year.

If you get married on December 31, 2026, the IRS generally considers you married for all of 2026. You usually choose between Married Filing Jointly and Married Filing Separately when filing that year’s return.

You don’t file Single for the months before the wedding and married for the months afterward. Keeping separate bank accounts or different last names doesn’t make you Single for tax purposes.

🏠 2. Can you keep filing Head of Household after marriage?

Usually, no—if you and your spouse live together. Having children and paying most of the household bills does not automatically let you keep that status.

Some married taxpayers living apart qualify under the IRS “considered unmarried” rules. Generally, you must file separately, pay more than half the home’s yearly costs, have a qualifying child living with you for more than half the year, and have your spouse absent from the home during the last six months. Dependency rules and temporary-absence rules also apply.

Simply choosing separate returns does not make you eligible for Head of Household. (irs.gov)

🤝 3. Married Filing Jointly: one return, both spouses’ income.

A joint return includes both spouses’ income and allowable deductions. This often produces a lower combined tax and provides access to benefits that separate filers cannot claim.

You can generally file jointly even if only one spouse worked.

Understand the responsibility: Both spouses are generally responsible for the entire tax, interest, and penalties on a joint return—even if one spouse earned all the income. Certain relief provisions may apply. Review the return before signing. (irs.gov)

📄 4. Married Filing Separately: separate returns with different rules.

This status can make sense in certain circumstances, but it does not work exactly like filing Single.

For example:

• Education credits and the student loan interest deduction are unavailable.
• Earned Income Tax Credit and child and dependent care credit eligibility are limited to specific situations.
• If your spouse itemizes deductions, you generally cannot take the standard deduction.
• Some other tax benefits have less favorable limits.

Compare the combined tax on both separate returns with the tax on a joint return before deciding. (irs.gov)

👩🏾‍👧 5. Marriage can change the refund you’re used to receiving.

Imagine a parent who previously qualified for Head of Household and the Earned Income Tax Credit. After getting married and filing jointly, the spouse’s income becomes part of the calculation.

That combined income may reduce or eliminate an income-based credit. But marriage does not automatically mean you lose every child-related credit—or that your refund will decrease. The result depends on your household’s numbers and eligibility. (irs.gov)

💼 6. Review your paycheck withholding after the wedding.

If both spouses work, updating the W-4 to “Married Filing Jointly” without accounting for both jobs can leave too little tax withheld. Check your withholding together instead of waiting for a surprise bill.

Also report a name change to the Social Security Administration so your tax return matches its records.

🚨🏡 SINGLE MOMS & DADS — ARE YOU FILING YOUR TAXES THE RIGHT WAY? 💰

Just because you’re unmarried doesn’t automatically mean you have to file your taxes as SINGLE! 👀

You could be missing out on valuable tax savings simply because you’re choosing the wrong filing status!

💎 LET’S TALK ABOUT HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD!

For the 2026 tax year (filed in 2027), here’s the difference:

💵 Single: $16,100 standard deduction

💵 Head of Household: $24,150 standard deduction

🔥 THAT’S AN ADDITIONAL $8,050 IN TAX DEDUCTIONS!

And here’s something even better: Head of Household generally has more favorable federal income tax brackets than Single.

🏡 WHO MAY QUALIFY?

✅ You’re unmarried or considered unmarried under IRS rules.

✅ You paid more than half the cost of keeping up your household.

✅ Your qualifying child generally lived with you for more than half the year.

✅ You meet the additional IRS requirements.

📌 HERE’S AN EXAMPLE:

Meet Jessica! She’s a single mom raising two children. She earns $48,000 annually, pays her household bills, and her children live with her throughout the year.

Jessica may qualify to file Head of Household instead of Single.

That means she could receive a higher standard deduction and potentially pay less in federal income taxes! 💰

⚠️ Remember: An $8,050 additional deduction does NOT mean an $8,050 refund. Your actual savings depend on your tax situation.

📂 DOCUMENTS TO KEEP:

📄 Lease or mortgage records

💡 Utility bills and household expenses

🏫 School or medical records showing your child’s address

🪪 Social Security numbers for your dependents

🚨💰 SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS, STOP SPENDING MONEY JUST TO GET A TAX WRITE-OFF! 💰🚨

🗣️ Let me tell you something that could save your business thousands of dollars!

As the owner of Taxes by Tan Jay, LLC, here in Tallahassee, Florida, I’ve seen business owners spend money they didn’t need to spend just because somebody told them, “You can write it off on your taxes!” 🤦🏽‍♀️

💸 BABY, A TAX WRITE-OFF DOES NOT MEAN FREE MONEY!

If you spend $1,000 on something your business doesn’t need just to claim a deduction, guess what? That $1,000 is STILL gone out of your pocket!

✅ A tax deduction may lower your taxable income.

❌ It does NOT mean the IRS is giving you back every dollar you spent.

❌ You cannot write off every personal purchase just because you own a business.

⚠️ Claiming expenses that don’t qualify can lead to IRS penalties, additional taxes, and interest.

📅 AND PLEASE STOP WAITING UNTIL JANUARY TO THINK ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS TAXES!

By January, the tax year is already over. Some valuable tax-planning opportunities may be gone!

📊 At Taxes by Tan Jay, LLC, we believe in protecting your PROFITS, not just chasing deductions!

Here’s what we can help you with:

💛 Review your business income and expenses
💛 Identify legitimate business deductions
💛 Plan for estimated tax payments
💛 Organize your financial records
💛 Stay compliant with IRS requirements
💛 Develop a tax strategy BEFORE the year ends

📢 You didn’t start your business just to give all your hard-earned money away!

And remember, passing out flyers alone doesn’t build a steady business. You need a plan for attracting clients, managing expenses, and protecting your profits.

💼 STOP GUESSING. START PLANNING. PROTECT YOUR PROFITS!

🚨 SAVING FOR RETIREMENT? DON’T OVERLOOK THIS TAX BREAK! 💰🔐

2026 is the final tax year for the Saver’s Credit, before the Saver’s Match replaces it in 2027.

Eligible taxpayers who contribute to a qualifying retirement account may receive a credit of up to $1,000 per person—or $2,000 for married couples filing jointly. Your income, filing status, contributions, and other eligibility rules determine how much you qualify for.

💡 Example: If you qualify for the 50% credit rate and contribute $2,000, your potential credit is $1,000, subject to your federal income tax liability.

This credit can reduce your federal income tax to zero, but any unused credit won’t be paid to you as extra cash.

📅 Most workplace retirement contributions must be made by December 31, 2026. Eligible IRA contributions for 2026 can generally be made through April 15, 2027.

🧾 Keep your W-2, retirement contribution records, and records of any retirement withdrawals.

Let’s make sure your retirement savings get the attention they deserve when you file! 🖤💛

🏠📅 WAIT A MINUTE! YOU MADE MONEY RENTING YOUR HOUSE AND MIGHT NOT HAVE TO PAY FEDERAL INCOME TAX ON IT?

Yes, you read that correctly! 💰

With football games, homecoming weekends, graduations, and special events bringing visitors into town, some homeowners are making extra money by renting out their homes.

But did you know the IRS has a special rule for certain short-term rentals?

🔐 IT’S CALLED THE 14-DAY RULE!

If you use your property as your personal residence and rent it out for fewer than 15 days during the year, the rental income generally doesn’t have to be included on your federal income tax return.

🏈 LET’S SAY THIS HAPPENED:

You rented your house for one football weekend in September and another in November.

You collected $2,400 altogether, and your house was rented for only six days during the entire year.

As long as you meet the IRS requirements, that $2,400 generally is not reportable rental income!

✅ WHO SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS?

Anyone occasionally renting out their home during major sporting events, college graduations, festivals, or other busy weekends.

🚨 NOW DON’T MISS THIS PART!

Just because the rental income generally isn’t reportable doesn’t mean you can deduct the related rental expenses. Those expenses generally aren’t deductible under this special rule.

🗂️ DOCUMENTATION MATTERS!

Keep track of the exact dates rented, total payments received, booking confirmations, and rental platform statements. Even if the income isn’t reportable, good records help establish that you qualify.

📖 READ IT DIRECTLY FROM THE IRS:
https://www.irs.gov/publications/p527

💡 Sometimes knowing the tax law is just as important as knowing how much money you made!

💰 DID THE IRS PAY YOU INTEREST? THAT EXTRA MONEY MAY BE TAXABLE!

Here’s something a lot of taxpayers don’t realize!

When the IRS takes longer than expected to issue your tax refund, sometimes they pay you a little extra money in interest.

Sounds good, right? Well, here’s what you need to know.

📌 Your federal tax refund generally isn’t taxable, but the interest the IRS pays you IS taxable income.

Here’s an example:

You were supposed to receive a $2,000 refund, but because of a delay, the IRS sent you $2,035.

💵 $2,000 — Your original refund (generally not taxable)

💵 $35 — Interest paid by the IRS (generally taxable)

That extra $35 must generally be reported on your federal income tax return.

📂 What should you keep?

* Any IRS refund notices
* Form 1099-INT, if you received one
* Records showing the interest payment

And here’s another thing: Even if you don’t receive a Form 1099-INT, taxable interest still needs to be reported.

🔎 Read more directly from the IRS:

https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc403

https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1099-int

Don’t overlook the small amounts. Accurate tax preparation means accounting for all taxable income.

🧾 YOU HAVE A SIDE HUSTLE? LET’S TALK TAXES! 💵

Making extra money is great, but are you keeping track of where that money is coming from and what you’re spending to earn it?

Whether you’re selling plates, doing hair, cleaning homes, delivering food, taking pictures, or running a small business from home, your records matter!

📌 Here’s an example:

Let’s say you made $8,000 doing DoorDash this year.

You also had qualifying business mileage and other allowable expenses totaling $2,500.

That could leave you with $5,500 in business profit before any additional tax adjustments.

But here’s the catch: If you haven’t been tracking your mileage or saving your receipts, you may have a harder time proving those expenses.

📂 What should you be saving?

✅ Cash App, Zelle, Venmo and bank payment records
✅ Forms 1099-K and 1099-NEC
✅ Business supply and equipment receipts
✅ Business mileage logs
✅ Customer invoices and payment records
✅ Records of any estimated tax payments

And remember, receiving money through a payment app doesn’t automatically make it taxable. Personal gifts and reimbursements are different from payments for business services.

You don’t have to have an LLC for your side hustle income to count!

Before tax season arrives, get your records together. A little organization now can save you a lot of confusion later.
