📬 Important Tax Filing Update!

The United States Postal Service (USPS) has updated its postmark rule, which could impact how timely your tax filings and payments are considered.

💡 What this means for you:

- A postmark date may no longer always serve as proof of timely mailing in certain situations
- Delays or inconsistencies in postmarking could affect filing deadlines
- Payments mailed close to the due date may be considered late if the postmark is missing or not timely applied
- Late payments could result in penalties and interest, even if you mailed them on time

✅ Our recommendation:

To avoid any risk, we strongly encourage clients to e-file and pay electronically whenever possible or send documents and payments well in advance of deadlines. Using certified mail or tracking can also provide added protection.

Have questions about how this impacts you? We’re here to help—reach out anytime!

New 2025 Federal Senior Deduction – A Little Bonus from Congress

The One Big Beautiful Bill (2025) increased the standard deduction, effectively reducing taxable income for all taxpayers - that’s a win for everyone!

To further lower taxable income for seniors, Congress introduced a brand-new Federal Senior Deduction ($6,000) for taxpayers age 65+.

What it means:
• More room before your Social Security gets taxed
• Plus, an extra deduction to help lower your taxable income even further
• Translation: More of your retirement money stays yours

Think of it as two perks in one bill – not perfect, but definitely worth claiming!

At Clyde, Ferraro & Co., LLP, we’ll make sure you get every dollar you deserve under the new rules.

⏰ Overtime & the One Big Beautiful Bill – What’s Not Taxable

The new One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) says the overtime premium you earn for extra hours is not taxable for federal income tax.

What does that mean?

You still pay tax on your normal hourly rate — even for overtime hours — but the extra premium pay is tax-free.

💡 Example:
Jordan works 40 hours/week at $25/hr. One week, he works 48 hours.
· Regular pay: 48 hrs × $25 = $1,200 (taxable)
· Overtime premium: 8 hrs × $12.50 = $100 (not taxable)
So, Jordan’s paycheck:
· $1,200 taxable income
· $100 tax-free overtime premium 🎉
