Start Tax Planning for 2026

Many tax-related changes made by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) are scheduled to expire at the end of 2025. Beginning in 2026, among other things, tax rates are scheduled to increase for most people, the standard deduction is set to be cut roughly in half, and the federal gift and estate tax exemption will drop to an estimated $7 million.


Even though there’s currently talk in Congress about preserving some or all of the TCJA’s tax breaks, it’s uncertain what will happen. Consult your advisor to discuss the potential impact of the elimination of these tax breaks and planning strategies to soften the blow.

On July 13, 2026, the IRS announced an increase in the mileage rate for the second half of the year. Ordinarily, the IRS updates mileage rates only once a year, but occasionally it makes interim adjustments like this one, which reflects recent increases in the price of fuel.
