The 2026 tax season brings significant changes and opportunities. 

Starting with tax year 2025 and continuing through 2028,employees and contractors in certain tipped occupations can deduct up to$25,000 annually per return in voluntarily paid and reported qualified tip income. This deduction is claimed directly on their individual tax returns and is considered “above-the-line,” which means it can be taken even if the taxpayer does not itemize.

Reconciliation Bill H.R.1 introduced a new “no tax on tips” provision allowing workers in tipped occupations to claim a tax deduction for qualified tips received.

The Internal Revenue Services recently released Rev. Proc. 2025-32 providing the annual inflation adjustments for more than 60 tax provisions for tax year 2026 and increases the standard deduction for tax year 2025 as prescribed by the Reconciliation Bill.
