What’s new for the 2026 filing season
Key highlights for this filing season. Tax rules and reporting thresholds can change each year, so this section is reviewed and updated annually.
Standard deduction and tax bracket adjustments
The IRS typically adjusts federal tax brackets and standard deduction amounts for inflation each year. Review the official figures for this filing season.
Retirement contribution limit updates
Contribution limits for IRAs and employer retirement plans may change annually. If you contributed during the tax year, expect documentation such as Form 5498 (often later).
1099-K reporting thresholds
Payment platform reporting requirements have evolved in recent years. Confirm the current threshold and rules for this filing season if you received platform payments.
Health insurance tax forms (1095-A, 1095-B, 1095-C)
If you had Marketplace coverage, Form 1095-A can be important for premium tax credit reconciliation. Forms 1095-B/1095-C may also be provided for records depending on coverage source.
Filing and extension deadline confirmation
The federal filing deadline is typically April 15, but it can shift if it falls on a weekend or federal holiday. Verify the official deadline for this season.

FAQ
Quick answers for common terms and “do I need this?” questions.
What is Marketplace insurance?
Marketplace insurance means health coverage purchased through HealthCare.gov or your state’s ACA exchange (Obamacare/ACA). If you had Marketplace coverage—especially if you received a premium subsidy—you typically use Form 1095-A.
Do I need to wait for 1095-B or 1095-C to file?
For federal returns, many taxpayers do not need to wait for 1095-B or 1095-C. These are often provided for records. However, confirm any state-specific requirements that might apply to you.
What if I never receive a form?
You’re still responsible for reporting income you received, even if a form is missing. Check the issuer’s online portal, then contact them if needed. Keep your own records (paystubs, bank statements, invoices).
Why does a form say 'corrected'?
Some issuers (especially brokerages) may send corrected versions if they discover changes after the initial form is issued. If you see a corrected form, you may need to update what you entered in tax software.
