That kitchen remodel or new roof could save you money… but only if you keep the records.

Many homeowners don’t realize that certain capital improvements can increase the tax basis of their home. Years later, when it’s time to sell, those records may help reduce your capital gains tax.

Don’t make the mistake of tossing receipts, invoices, permits, or contracts for qualifying home improvements. Good recordkeeping today could mean significant tax savings tomorrow.

📌Save this post for later and share it with a homeowner who should know this.

Tax planning isn’t just about this years return. Learn to protect your financial future.

🚨 Good News from the IRS: Penalty Relief Just Got Easier

The IRS has introduced a significant change that could save eligible taxpayers time, stress, and money.

The traditional First-Time Abate (FTA) process is being replaced with a new Automatic Exemption from Penalty (AEP) program.

If you have a clean three-year compliance history, the IRS may now automatically waive certain penalties, without you having to call or submit a request.

The program may automatically waive:
• Failure-to-File (FTF) penalties
• Failure-to-Pay (FTP) penalties
• Failure-to-Deposit penalties

To qualify, you generally must:
1. Have filed all required tax returns
2. Have paid your taxes in full or be in an approved payment arrangement.
3. Have no penalties for the same tax type on the same return during the previous three years.

If you're eligible, the IRS will suppress the penalty during return processing and send you a notice confirming the relief.

The automatic process applies to eligible 2025 individual tax returns and 2026 quarterly returns, and will fully replace the traditional First-Time Abate request process for original returns due on or after January 1, 2027.

⚠️ One important note: During the transition, some qualifying taxpayers may still receive a penalty notice. If that happens, don't assume the relief doesn't apply. Review your IRS Online Account or consult your tax professional to determine whether an automatic adjustment is pending.

At IRS Angel, we're committed to keeping you informed about tax law changes that can help protect your finances. If you've received an IRS penalty notice and aren't sure whether relief may be available, we're happy to help you evaluate your options.

The best tax strategy isn't just knowing the rules—it's knowing when they've changed. That's what we're here for.

I’m so happy to share that my blog post is live on GiftWell Soon / LMKpod. 💛
It’s about Always With You, the book I wrote to help parents and loved ones leave handwritten messages, stories, guidance, blessings, and love for their children to return to throughout life.
I created this book because I believe some of the most powerful gifts are not things. They are words. They are memories. They are pieces of our heart preserved in our own handwriting.
Always With You is a way to let love travel forward in time — for birthdays, graduations, heartbreaks, big decisions, and ordinary days when someone simply needs to feel connected.
Some gifts are opened once. Others become part of someone’s life forever.
