Buying business equipment before December 31? 💻

For this year's taxes, what counts is when the equipment is placed in service: set up and ready to use in your business. Something ordered in December but delivered in January generally counts next year.

Keep the invoice, the payment record and the date it was set up. If you also use it personally, track the business-use share.

Giving to charity before December 31? Keep the right receipt for every gift. 🧾

Cash gifts need a bank record or a written receipt with the charity's name, date and amount. Any single gift of $250 or more needs a written acknowledgment from the charity before you file. Donated items worth more than $500 in total go on Form 8283.

Gifts count in the year you make them, so a check mailed or a card charge made by December 31 counts for this year.

Drive for your business? Keep a mileage log 🚗

Business miles can lower your taxes if you're self-employed or own a small business, but only with records made at or near the time of each trip.

For every business trip, write down the date, where you went, the business reason and the miles driven. Note your odometer reading at the start and end of the year, too.

Driving from home to your regular workplace is commuting and doesn't count. A mileage app or a notebook in the glove box both work, as long as you keep it up.

Paying college tuition for spring? Timing can matter. 🎓

Tuition you pay by December 31 for a term that starts in January, February or March can count toward this year's education credit. The American Opportunity Tax Credit is worth up to $2,500 per eligible student, and the Lifetime Learning Credit up to $2,000 per return. Both phase out at higher incomes.

Keep the school's Form 1098-T plus your own payment records, and remember that expenses covered by tax-free scholarships or 529 withdrawals can't also be used for the credit.

New baby in the family this year? Congratulations! 👶

Before tax season, make sure your baby has a Social Security number. To claim the Child Tax Credit, your child needs a valid SSN issued by the due date of your return, or the credit can be denied and an e-filed return can be rejected.

Most parents apply at the hospital with the birth certificate paperwork. If you didn't, you can apply with Social Security using Form SS-5. A baby born any time this year, even December 31, can count as your dependent for the whole year.

Planning a big gift to family before the year ends? 🎁

For 2026, you can give up to $19,000 to each person without filing a gift tax return. Go over that for one person and you'll usually file Form 709, but most people still owe no gift tax because it counts against a much larger lifetime exemption.

Tuition paid straight to the school and medical bills paid straight to the provider don't count toward the limit. The gift isn't income to the person who gets it, and the limit resets each calendar year.

A good weekend task before tax season: set up your IRS online account 💻

Once you're in, you can see the estimated tax payments you've made this year, check for any balance from a past year, view many IRS notices, pull past return transcripts, and get an Identity Protection PIN to help stop someone else from filing with your Social Security number.

The sign-up includes an ID check, so it's easier now than in April. Use only the official IRS website, and never follow links in surprise texts or emails that claim to be the IRS.

Got married, divorced, or changed your name this year? Update Social Security before you file 💍

The name on your tax return has to match what the Social Security Administration has on file for your Social Security number. If it doesn't, an e-filed return can be rejected and a refund delayed.

Report the change to Social Security (Form SS-5, no fee), give your employer your new name for your W-2, and until Social Security shows the new name, file under the name they have on record.

Paying for daycare or after-school care? Get the paperwork now 🧸

To claim the Child and Dependent Care Credit, or get reimbursed from a dependent care FSA, you generally need the provider's name, address, and taxpayer ID (an EIN, or an SSN for an individual caregiver), plus receipts or a year-end statement showing what you paid.

Form W-10 is an easy way to ask for the provider's tax ID. The care has to let you (and your spouse, if married) work or look for work. Overnight camps and private school tuition usually don't count.

Got your Texas property tax bill? Timing can matter 🏡

Texas bills are generally due by January 31, but property tax is deducted in the year you actually pay it. Paying by December 31 can move the deduction onto this year's return.

It only helps if you itemize, and state and local taxes are subject to the SALT deduction limit. If your mortgage escrow pays the bill, the date is up to your lender, so check your year-end escrow statement.
