The IRS has announced that the 2026 filing season opens January 26, with a deadline of April 15, 2026. This year includes several new tax law provisions that may affect deductions, credits, and reporting—such as the new Schedule 1-A, digital asset forms, and updated refund and account requirements. With more than 164 million returns expected, accuracy and informed filing are more important than ever.

NAEA encourages taxpayers to use IRS online tools and to work with a credentialed tax professional when questions arise. Enrolled Agents are tax experts and are authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS and can help navigate these changes with confidence.

Happy New Year!

As we prepare for another busy and successful tax season, we wanted to share a few convenient ways we can work together this year.

Along with our traditional in-office appointments, we’re pleased to continue offering our drop-off service, which does not require an appointment. If you prefer this option, simply gather your tax documents in a sealed envelope or package and drop them off during normal business hours. Please be sure to include your name and a phone number so we can contact you once your return is ready.

Everyone at Paiva Financial looks forward to assisting you again this season. If you have any questions or need anything along the way, feel free to reach out to us by phone, email, or through our website at www.PaivaFinancial.com.

Thank you, and we look forward to working with you!

📢 Important Tax Info: Don't Be Fooled by False Rumors! 📢

We've noticed some misinformation circulating online regarding a supposed change in tax law allowing parents paying child support to claim their children as dependents without the permission of the custodial parent, even if the child doesn't live with them.

Here's what you need to know:

FALSE: Parents paying child support can claim the child as a dependent without permission, even if the child doesn't live with them.

FALSE: Parents receiving child support cannot claim their child as a dependent.

TRUTH: The IRS rules for claiming dependents remain unchanged. The custodial parent (the parent with whom the child lives for the majority of the year) is generally entitled to claim the child as a dependent.

Don't let false information cause confusion or lead to mistakes on your tax return. If you have any questions about claiming dependents or other tax-related matters, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to help!

A bizarre rumor has been circulating online, claiming that Donald Trump signed a law barring child support recipients from claiming their children on tax returns. This misinformati
