Are you aware of the 2026 contribution limits for tax-advantaged retirement accounts? If not, we’ve got you covered, with a quick look at what’s changing:

✅ 401(k), 403(b), 457, and TSP limits will increase to $24,500 (up from $23,500).
✅ Workers age 50+ can contribute an additional $8,000 (up to $32,500 total).
✅ IRA contribution limits will rise to $7,500, with a $1,100 catch-up option.
✅ “Super catch-up” contributions for ages 60-63 remain at $11,250.

Now is a good time to evaluate your current savings plan, explore your IRA options, and decide whether catch-up contributions make sense for your 2026 goals.

If you’re self-employed, it may also be worthwhile to review whether your SEP IRA or solo 401(k) plan needs an update.

Need help navigating these changes? Contact us to discuss how you can maximize these increased limits for your retirement strategy.

With tax day quickly approaching, we wanted to share a timely tax season reminder about filing extensions.

Filing IRS Form 4868 gives you until October 15, 2026, to submit your federal return. Just remember: If you owe taxes, payment is still due by April 15th to avoid any added fees.

There’s no penalty for requesting an extension and filing late, so it’s best to take the time you need to make sure your return is filed properly.

If you’re considering an extension, don’t wait to reach out; you must file for it by April 15th to receive it. Give us a call today! We are here to help.
