🚨 🚨 IRS UPDATE: Standard Mileage Rate Increased Effective July 1, 2026 🚨

The IRS has announced a mid-year increase to the standard mileage rates effective July 1, 2026.

New Rates:
🚗 Business: 76¢ per mile (up from 72.5¢)
🏥 Medical & Qualified Moving: 23.5¢ per mile (up from 20.5¢)
❤️ Charitable: 14¢ per mile (unchanged by law)

📌 What does this mean?

If you’re a business owner, independent contractor, gig worker, or self-employed, your deductible mileage may be higher for miles driven on or after July 1, 2026.

If you’re a tax professional, be sure you’re using the correct mileage rate based on the date the miles were driven, since 2026 now has two different business mileage rates.

Always keep a detailed mileage log to support your deduction.

‼️Head of Household‼️

You do not know if someone qualifies for Head of Household unless you ask the proper qualifying questions. It is not determined by an income amount.

Also, if a taxpayer’s income is under the standard deduction, it will not make a difference whether they file as Head of Household or Single. It will not increase or decrease their refund at all.

This is why asking the right questions and understanding the rules matters.
