2026 Federal Tax Law Updates

Tax laws are constantly evolving, and keeping up with them can feel like trying to hit a moving target. The reality is that tax law was never designed to be permanent, and recent years have made that crystal clear. The federal government has rolled out temporary income tax cuts and business incentives in response to economic conditions, some of which have since been made permanent, and others that came attached with new conditions and phase-outs. The landscape keeps shifting, and that is exactly why continuing education matters.

Each year, the IRS steps in with inflation adjustments covering federal income tax brackets, the standard deduction, and a host of other provisions. For 2026, those adjustments were issued under Rev. Proc. 2025-32, raising income thresholds, increasing key credit amounts, and updating figures across the board. These changes apply to returns filed in 2027, and this course covers the essential updates every practitioner needs going into filing season.
