π‘ TUESDAY TAX TIPS | September 2026
π§Ύ Protect your records. Know your rights. Stay prepared.
The latest IRS Tax Tips include important reminders for taxpayers, tax preparers and business owners. Hereβs what you should know:
πΉ π Lost important records after a disaster?
You may be able to reconstruct vital tax records using IRS transcripts, bank and credit card statements, receipts, property records and other available documentation. Don't assume lost records mean you can't rebuild your tax information!
πΉ π€ Giving someone authority to help with your taxes?
Different IRS third-party authorizations give different levels of access. Make sure you understand whether someone is authorized to simply receive tax information or actually represent you before the IRS.
πΉ π Need a tax transcript?
IRS transcripts can be useful for filing taxes, verifying income and applying for a mortgage or loan. Know which type of transcript you need and how to securely access it.
πΉ π¨βπΌ Employers: Review Paid Family & Medical Leave benefits
Eligible employers, including small businesses, that provide qualifying paid family and medical leave may be eligible for an employer tax credit. Review the requirements before assuming your business qualifies.
πΉ β° Filed an extension? Don't wait until October!
Extension filers don't have to wait until the October 15 deadline to file their federal tax return. Filing earlier can help you resolve issues and avoid a last-minute rush.
πΉ π Heavy highway vehicle owners: Know your deadlines
Owners and operators of qualifying heavy highway vehicles should stay aware of annual Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax requirements and applicable Form 2290 filing deadlines.
πΉ βοΈ Remember: You have the right to appeal
Taxpayers have the right to challenge certain IRS decisions in an independent forum. The IRS Independent Office of Appeals may be available to help resolve qualifying disputes.
π Tuesday's Tax Takeaway:
Being proactive with your records, authorizations and tax deadlines can save you time, stress and potential problems later!
