Changes to charitable donation deductions are on the horizon. Beginning in 2026, if you itemize deductions, your otherwise allowable charitable deductions will be limited to the amount that exceeds 0.5% of your 2026 adjusted gross income. In addition, if you’ll be in the 37% income tax bracket, your tax benefit generally will be as if you were in the 35% bracket. If you’ll be affected, you may want to accelerate donations into 2025 and then bunch donations into alternating years. But if you claim the standard deduction, in 2026 you can potentially benefit from a new charitable deduction for nonitemizers of up to $1,000 ($2,000 for married couples filing jointly).

Are you age 50 or older? You’ve earned the right to supercharge your retirement savings with extra “catch-up” contributions to your tax-favored retirement account(s). An eligible taxpayer can make extra catch-up contributions of up to $1,000 annually to a traditional or Roth IRA. If you’ll be 50 or older as of Dec. 31, 2025, you can make catch-up contributions for 2025 by April 15, 2026.

For 2025–2028, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act creates a new federal income tax deduction that can offset up to $25,000 of annual tip income. It begins to phase out when income is more than $150,000 ($300,000 for joint filers). The deduction is available if a worker receives tips in a job designated as one where tips are customary. However, the U.S. Treasury Dept. has released a draft list of occupations it proposes to receive the tax break and there are some surprising jobs on it, including plumbers, electricians, digital content creators and movers. Tips can be paid in cash, with credit cards or through tip-sharing arrangements. The deduction can be claimed even if a worker doesn’t itemize.
