Summer Activities and Taxes – Did You Know?

Summer is a time to relax and have fun, but some seasonal activities may have tax consequences. Being aware of them now may save you time and hassle later.

If your child attends a day camp so you can work or look for work, some of the cost may qualify for the Child and Dependent Care Credit. Be sure to keep records and obtain the camp's tax identification information.

Students with summer jobs may be entitled to tax refunds if income tax is withheld from their pay. Adults earning income from seasonal, part-time, or gig work may need additional withholding or quarterly estimated tax payments.

Summer is also a popular wedding season. If you change your name after marriage, update your records with the Social Security Administration. If you move, update your address with the IRS and submit a new Form W-4 to your employer so your withholding reflects your current tax situation.

National 529 Day – Did You Know?

If you put money into a 529 education savings plan, earnings may be withdrawn federal income tax-free when used for qualified education expenses. Qualified expenses can include tuition, fees, books, supplies, computers, and for students enrolled at least half-time, certain room and board costs.

While 529 contributions are not deductible for federal income tax purposes, many states offer a full or partial state income tax deduction or credit for contributions. Some states and plan sponsors may also offer special incentives around National 529 Day.

Recent law changes expanded the use of 529 plans. In 2026, up to $20,000 per year, per student, may be used for qualified K–12 education expenses at public, private, or religious schools. Prior years were generally limited to $10,000 annually.
