Do you have a Health Savings Account? It’s time to go online and pull your tax doc for your accountant! That doc shows how much you withdrew from the account in 2025. Yes, the withdraws ARE reported on your tax return, and as long as your medical bills met or exceeded that amount, the withdraws are not taxable.

New for 2026 - "No Tax on Overtime" the tax break applies to the "half" part of "time and a half" not to the entire overtime amount. If you worked overtime in 2025, your employer MUST provide that amount to you either on the W-2 (optional) or on a separate piece of paper.

New in December 2025 - Don't count on a postmark to prove when you mailed a document! Sometimes docs don't get postmarked for 2-3 days after you drop them at the Post Office. That's because they often get sent to a bigger distribution center now before they get postmarked. If you MUST have the proper postmark on a document, you will need to walk up to the counter and ask a Post Office person to "hand stamp" the envelope to make sure TODAY'S date gets on the envelope.

New for 2026 - Refunds must be direct deposit, so please make sure to give your Tax Preparer your account number where you would like to receive your refund.

If you have health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace (Obamacare), then you must receive a Form 1095-A. Your accountant cannot do your taxes without this form! If you have online access to your marketplace insurance, go look for this form under Tax Documents.

Do you have a health savings account? Quick, jot down what your balance was at the end of December 31.
Make sure you provide that balance to the person who does your taxes. They may or may not need your balance at the end of the year. Better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it!

Reminder for all people who use a car for their business: today, go outside and jot down the odometer reading on every car that you use in your business and send that information to the person who does your taxes!
A few vehicles will be exempt, but let’s not split hairs today. Better to have the data and not need it then to need it and not have it.
