Description
New 2025 Deductions Come With New Reporting Risk.
Beginning in 2025, taxpayers who receive overtime pay or tips may qualify for new federal deductions. However, IRS reporting forms will not immediately reflect these changes, creating uncertainty and compliance challenges for tax professionals.
This course explains how to determine what income qualifies and how to rely on IRS transitional guidance during this temporary reporting gap.
