Recent Tax Law Updates:


  1. Inflation Adjustments for 2025:

    • The IRS has updated tax brackets and standard deductions for inflation. For individuals, the standard deduction is now $13,850 for singles and $27,700 for married filing jointly. Ensure your tax planning reflects these new figures.

  2. Meal Deduction Reversion:

    • Business meal deductions have returned to 50% from the temporary 100% rate. Accurate expense tracking is essential to maximize your deductions.
