Parents: Claim all the tax credits you’re entitled to
Raising a family comes with plenty of expenses, but it may also make you eligible for various tax breaks. Some of the most valuable are tax credits, because they reduce your tax liability dollar for dollar (unlike deductions, which only reduce the amount of income subject to tax). Which credits might you be eligible for on your 2025 return? The child credit, credit for other dependents, child and dependent care credit, adoption credit, American Opportunity credit and Lifetime Learning credit are some of the possibilities. But various rules and income-based limits apply. We can help ensure you maximize your tax savings from these and other tax breaks you’re eligible for. ... See MoreSee Less
Deferring taxes on advance payments
If your business uses the accrual method of accounting and received advance payments in 2025, you may be able to defer reporting some or all of that income until 2026 for federal tax purposes. An advance payment is one received by a business before it provides whatever is being paid for. Examples of advance payments that may be eligible for this favorable tax treatment include payments for services, the sale of goods, gift cards, the use of intellectual property, the sale or use of computer software, warranty contracts and subscriptions. But complicated rules apply. Contact us for help determining if your business is eligible to defer 2025 advance payments. ... See MoreSee Less
