We have done our best to clarify and show you what we believe is “Black and White” in an expeditious manner but there may be variations to come through IRS statements. Use the following as a guide and reference. Before making any decisions without our

Summary Tax Tables for 2025, including taxable income ranges, tax rates, and standard deductions.

SALT – State and Local Taxes – Know the Phase outs

Age 65+ Extra Deduction – Know the Phase outs

Phase outs start at $75/$150k (Single/Joint) – Surprised this is not more known!

529 More Uses Now – Higher limits starting in 2026 –

Whew there is a lot of misinterpretations here – We are comfortable with knowing that $20k for k-12 will be available in 2026 – up from $10k now, AND there are far more liberal uses of the 529 starting NOW!

New $1k Currently Born Trump Account

We are not sure on how to get these and where they will reside ie Investment Account or Government Account, but we do know they exist – If you have a child this year, he/she should eventually get a $1k Account from the US Government called a Trump account at no cost or taxes to you!
