The provided sources outline significant federal tax updates for 2026, specifically focusing on legislative changes introduced by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. A primary highlight is the introduction of a new senior tax deduction of up to $6,000 for individuals and $12,000 for married couples aged 65 and older. This bonus relief, which is available through 2028, stacks on top of increased standard deductions and existing age-related tax breaks for qualifying retirees. The documents also detail updated ordinary income tax brackets and long-term capital gains thresholds, which have been adjusted for inflation to offer further financial breathing room. Additionally, the materials explain the complexities of Social Security taxation, IRMAA Medicare surcharges, and the phase-out ranges that limit benefits for higher earners. Together, these sources emphasize the necessity of proactive retirement planning to navigate shifting rules and maximize potential tax savings.
