Season's Greetings from the Beverly & Bucker Team!
We hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday season and greets this time of year in good health. As we approach the 2025 tax filing season, our office would like to provide updates and information on upcoming changes. Please use this Newsletter and the Links available on our Website to stay up-to-date.
Tax Season will begin on January 26th, 2026. We encourage all of our clients who require a face-to-face appointment to call now to ensure that your preferred time and date are available. Please note that we book up quickly! Call our office at (540) 371-0691 to schedule.
As in years prior, clients who received $600 or more through cash-sharing apps like Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal will receive a Form 1099-K by mail or through the app. If you receive this form, please include it with your tax documents as we will not be able to complete your return without it. If you believe you received $600 or more through a cash-sharing app but did not receive a Form 1099-K, please contact the company. Please be prepared to explain where the funds came from and what they were used for to determine how the amount should be applied on the Tax Return.
For our Virginia clients who are over the age of 55 and receive military retirement, you may be able to claim a subtraction for certain military benefits of up to $10,000. This means that qualifying recipients may receive up to $10,000 of military retirement pay tax-free. Qualifying benefits include military retirement income received for service in the US Armed Forces or paid to the surviving spouse of a veteran under the Survivor Benefit Plan program. If you have questions concerning this change, please contact our office or consult the Virginia Department of Taxation website.
Now that we've covered changes in tax code, here's what you can expect in our office. As we continue to prioritize the safety of our staff and clients this cold and flu season, we encourage anyone who does not require a face-to-face appointment to use our Drop Off option. Many of our clients used this method for the first time during the pandemic and found that it was easier and much faster than waiting for an available appointment time. The Tax Return will be prepared in your absence and our staff will contact you when it has been completed. If you are dropping off your Tax Return but would still like to discuss your concerns with a Tax Preparer, a Phone Appointment option is now available! To schedule a Phone Appointment, please contact our office or select the Phone Appointment option on our website when scheduling. Due to IRS guidelines, we are not able to use online phone call platforms such as Zoom, FaceTime, Google Chats, or Signal. These third-party calling platforms do not provide the level of security required for discussing sensitive personal information. For clients who are able to Drop Off Tax Documents, we would like to make sure you are aware of our variety of Drop Off methods.
Drop Offs:
Tax Documents can be mailed to our office, dropped off with our staff during our office hours, or dropped off after hours via the mail slot beside our front door. We also have a contact-free, digital option available. If you would like to virtually submit your documents, please contact our office via phone or email to request a link to our secure, Document Sharing Portal. Upon request, a link will be sent to you via email. This link will be randomly generated and, for your security, should not be shared. Once you have received the link, you will be able to upload your documents to our Secure Portal, at which point our staff will be notified and will be able to view your documents to prepare your Tax Return. Please do not email sensitive documents to our office or submit them via Facebook. These are not secure options to submit sensitive information. If you have any questions concerning our Digital Drop Off method or any of our other methods for receiving documents, please let us know. When mailing documents, we request that you mail copies, not original documents. Original documents that are lost in the mail are difficult to replace so, if possible, please only mail copies.
No matter how you Drop Off this year, please include your Name, Phone Number, Address, and a list of any changes in family structure such as Marriage, sale of a property, or changes in the number of Dependents. If you have questions concerning what documents to include when dropping off, our staff will be more than happy to assist.
Appointments:
For our clients who necessitate a face-to-face appointment, please schedule either through our website or by phone. We ask that if you or someone in your household is experiencing Covid-related symptoms to please wear a mask during your appointment. Our front desk staff will have extras available. If you or someone in your household has tested positive for Covid-19 or RSV within four days of your appointment, please contact our office to reschedule.
Client Organizers:
Client Organizers are available! These are helpful tools that list what documents we will require to prepare your Tax Return. Client Organizers are based off of the information you provided to our office for the prior Tax Year, so they will not include any information that has changed since we last saw you. With Client Organizers, we will include an additional checklist that outlines any changes in Tax Code for the upcoming year. If you are new to our office this year, welcome! We have blank Client Organizers available for you in our office and on our website in "Info Center." While they will not have a list of documents that you have used for prior Tax Returns, they will have a summation of documents you may need to bring in depending on your needs. If you have any questions or would like to request a Client Organizer, please contact our office.
I would like to, once again, thank our amazing clients. Our team is excited to assist with the approaching tax season and we're looking forward to seeing everyone. We hope everyone has a great New Year and we look forward to working together in 2026!

About 830,000 taxpayers are having their tax refunds held up due to the move away from paper checks and Democratic leadership on the House Ways and Means Committee is seeking information on what the IRS is doing to expedite the issuance of those refunds.
About 830,000 taxpayers are having their tax refunds held up due to the move away from paper checks and Democratic leadership on the House Ways and Means Committee is seeking information on what the IRS is doing to expedite the issuance of those refunds.
House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Worker and Family Support Ranking Member Danny Davis (D-Ill.) and Subcommittee on Oversight Ranking Member Terri Sewell (D-Ala.), in a March 9, 2026, letter to IRS Acting Commissioner Scott Bessent, noted that to date 530,000 notices have been sent to individual taxpayers who did not include bank account information on their tax returns and are planning to send another 300,000 notices this week.
“As a result of President Trump’s Executive Order 14247 mandating electronic payments of tax refunds, these taxpayers could face more than a 10-week delay (over 2.5 months) in receiving their refunds by paper check,” the letter states, adding a National Taxpayer Advocate citation stating that more than 10 million individual taxpayers received their refunds by check.
They continued: “Having reviewed the IRS notice and called the IRS phone lines, we learned that there is no simple process for these taxpayers to request an immediate release of their refund by paper check without waiting at least 10 weeks. Effectively, the President, unilaterally through his Executive Order, is causing undue hardship on millions of Americans by delaying their paper refunds for months. This delay is not mandated by the Internal Revenue Code.”
The ranking members ask Bessent a series of questions, including how IRS taxpayers without an online account can apply for a paper check and immediate release of funds; how many notices have been sent and are expected to be released; how many tax payers have exceptions have been successfully filed; and how many paper checks have been mailed to date.
The representatives asked for answers by March 23, 2026.

The IRS has issued the luxury car depreciation limits for business vehicles placed in service in 2026 and the lease inclusion amounts for business vehicles first leased in 2026.
The IRS has issued the luxury car depreciation limits for business vehicles placed in service in 2026 and the lease inclusion amounts for business vehicles first leased in 2026.
Luxury Passenger Car Depreciation Caps
The luxury car depreciation caps for a passenger car placed in service in 2026 limit annual depreciation deductions to:
- $12,300 for the first year without bonus depreciation
- $20,300 for the first year with bonus depreciation
- $19,800 for the second year
- $11,900 for the third year
- $7,160 for the fourth through sixth year
Depreciation Caps for SUVs, Trucks and Vans
The luxury car depreciation caps for a sport utility vehicle, truck, or van placed in service in 2026 are:
- $12,300 for the first year without bonus depreciation
- $20,300 for the first year with bonus depreciation
- $19,800 for the second year
- $11,900 for the third year
- $7,160 for the fourth through sixth year
Excess Depreciation on Luxury Vehicles
If depreciation exceeds the annual cap, the excess depreciation is deducted beginning in the year after the vehicle’s regular depreciation period ends.
The annual cap for this excess depreciation is:
- $7,160 for passenger cars and
- $7,160 for SUVS, trucks, and vans.
Lease Inclusion Amounts for Cars, SUVs, Trucks and Vans
If a vehicle is first leased in 2026, a taxpayer must add a lease inclusion amount to gross income in each year of the lease if its fair market value at the time of the lease is more than:
- $62,000 for a passenger car, or
- $62,000 for an SUV, truck or van.
The 2026 lease inclusion tables provide the lease inclusion amounts for each year of the lease.
The lease inclusion amount results in a permanent reduction in the taxpayer’s deduction for the lease payments.
Vehicles Exempt from Depreciation Caps and Lease Inclusion Amounts
The depreciation caps and lease inclusion amounts do not apply to:
- cars with an unloaded gross vehicle weight of more than 6,000 pounds; or
- SUVs, trucks and vans with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of more than 6,000 pounds.
So taxpayers who want to avoid these limits should "think big."

The IRS has released guidance on the withdrawal of an election to be an excepted trade or business for the Code Sec. 163(j) business interest limitation for the 2022, 2023, and 2024 tax year. The election is made by filing an amended income tax return, amended Form 1065, or administrative adjustment request (AAR) on or before October 15, 2026, or applicable statute of limitation. The withdrawal allows a taxpayer to make depreciation adjustments or a late election not to deduct the additional first-year depreciation (bonus depreciation) for certain property in light of recent legislative changes.
The IRS has released guidance on the withdrawal of an election to be an excepted trade or business for the Code Sec. 163(j) business interest limitation for the 2022, 2023, and 2024 tax year. The election is made by filing an amended income tax return, amended Form 1065, or administrative adjustment request (AAR) on or before October 15, 2026, or applicable statute of limitation. The withdrawal allows a taxpayer to make depreciation adjustments or a late election not to deduct the additional first-year depreciation (bonus depreciation) for certain property in light of recent legislative changes. Guidance is also provided on the early election or revocation of a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) CFC group election.
Background
A taxpayer’s deduction of business interest expenses paid or incurred for the tax year is generally limited under section 163(j) to the taxpayer’s business interest income for that year and 30 percent of the taxpayer’s adjusted taxable income (ATI). The deduction limit does not apply to certain excepted businesses, including an electing real property trade or business, electing farming business, or regulated utility trade or business.
The election applies to the current tax year and all subsequent tax years. The election is irrevocable but may automatically terminate in certain circumstances. An electing real property trade or business or electing farming business that elects out of the section 163(j) limit must depreciate certain property using alternative depreciation system (ADS) and as a result cannot claim bonus depreciation for that property.
Election Withdrawal
An election to be an excepted trade or business for the section 163(j) business interest limit may be withdrawn for the 2022, 2023, and 2024 tax year. The withdrawal is made by attaching a statement to the taxpayer’s amended income tax return, amended Form 1065 , or administrative adjustment request (AAR) on or before October 15, 2026, or applicable statute of limitations per the IRS guidance.
A taxpayer that receives an amended Schedule K-1 as a result of an amended return or Form 1065 should similarly file an amended return, amended Form 1065, or AAR with a similar attached statement. If a taxpayer withdraws an election, the taxpayer will be treated as if the election had never been made.
Depreciation Adjustments
A taxpayer that is withdrawing an excepted trade or business interest election under section 163(j) must determine its depreciation deduction and basis for the property that is affected by the withdrawn election in accordance with Code Sec. 168. A taxpayer that makes the withdrawals may make a late election under Code Sec. 168(k)(7) to opt certain property out of bonus depreciation on the same amended Federal income tax return, amended Form 1065, or AAR filed for withdrawing the section 163(j) excepted trade or business election.
CFC Group Election
A taxpayer that is a designated U.S. person may revoke or make a CFC group election without regard to the 60-month limitation of § 1.163(j)-7(e)(5)(ii) for the first specified period of a specified group beginning after December 31, 2024. A taxpayer that chooses to revoke the election or make a new election must follow all procedures specified in the regulation other than the 60-month limit. In addition, the 60-month limitation applies to subsequent specified periods.

Internal Revenue Service CEO Frank Bisignano highlighted the early successes of the tax provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act before the House Ways and Means Committee while defending or deflecting critical commentary from the panel’s Democratic representatives.
Internal Revenue Service CEO Frank Bisignano highlighted the early successes of the tax provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act before the House Ways and Means Committee while defending or deflecting critical commentary from the panel’s Democratic representatives.
In his opening statement during the March 4, 2026, hearing, Bisignano noted that the tax benefit to individuals under these provisions is “estimated to be $220 billion,” noting key aspects like the no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and the Trump accounts helping to pave the way to the benefits.
He also highlighted the growth of 43 percent in usage of online tools, which he said is coinciding with a decrease in demand for phone service.
“Our goal is for taxpayers is our transformational efforts to create a seamless customer experience where taxpayers can interact with the IRS with the same ease they expect from the private sector,” Bisignano told the committee.
Bisignano during the hearing framed AI simply as a tool in the technology toolbox and stated that he didn’t simply want to “modernize” IRS systems because all that does is lead to future obsolescence, but framed information technology upgrades as “transforming” the systems to be able to evolve with technology, which “will increase compliance and increase simplification.”
He was put on the defensive on the subject of audit rates, with questions suggesting that the agency is not doing its job in terms of auditing high income and other wealthy taxpayers, which will lead to a greater tax gap.
Bisignano tried to interject that there was a $2 billion settlement reached but was not given an opportunity to expand upon the circumstances around the recovery, as Rep. Mike Thompson (D-Ca.) noted that “fewer audits of wealthy tax cheats and more scrutiny of working families” doesn’t build “trust among the American taxpayers.”
In answering a separate question regarding audit rates, he pushed back on the increase or decrease in audit rates, testifying that there has never been a standard audit rate that has been proven to be the right number and it could be more or less than where things are at now.
Bisignano defended the cutting of the National Treasury Employees Union contract, stating that by statute, federal employees already have “greater benefits that any union in the world can provide for their people,” including pay, health, and other benefits that are guaranteed by law. “So they are losing nothing,” he said.
He also defended the elimination of the Direct File program, citing its lack of utilization and its costs to operate the program, while promoting Free File as “well-received” and a well-used and trusted program.
Bisignano avoided any discussion regarding the IRS turning over taxpayer information to the Department of Homeland Security without proper authorization, noting that litigation on this issue was still ongoing. He confirmed that so far, no one has been fired or disciplined for this unauthorized information transmission.
He also would not commit to opening any of the closed Taxpayer Assistance Centers, noting that the current centers were experiencing increased activity, although he did add that there were no plans to close any of the existing centers.
Adoption Credit Update
Bisignano told the committee that the IRS will be implementing a provision that for tax year 2025, carry forward amounts of the adoption credit for prior years are refundable up to $5,000 per qualifying child, “and the IRS is implementing this policy as expeditiously as possible without disrupting the current filing season.”
He said there is will be information on this published “very soon” and that taxpayers “should continue to claim the credit as directed by the current tax forms and instructions during the tax season, since the IRS is pursuing post-filing remedies to solve this issue.”

The IRS has finalized regulations to include unmarked vehicles used by firefighters, members of rescue squads, or ambulance crews in the list of “qualified nonpersonal use vehicles” exempt from the IRC §274(d) substantiation requirements. The final rule adopts, with only minor, non-substantive changes, the text of the proposed regulations (NPRM REG-106595- 22) issued on December 3, 2024. The amendments ensure that specially equipped unmarked vehicles are subject to the same tax treatment as other emergency vehicles used by first responders.
The IRS has finalized regulations to include unmarked vehicles used by firefighters, members of rescue squads, or ambulance crews in the list of “qualified nonpersonal use vehicles” exempt from the IRC §274(d) substantiation requirements. The final rule adopts, with only minor, non-substantive changes, the text of the proposed regulations (NPRM REG-106595- 22) issued on December 3, 2024. The amendments ensure that specially equipped unmarked vehicles are subject to the same tax treatment as other emergency vehicles used by first responders.
Qualified Nonpersonal Use Vehicles
IRC §274(d) requires that taxpayers satisfy additional substantiation requirements when claiming certain business deductions including the business use of an automobile or other means of transportation. A qualified nonpersonal use vehicle is any vehicle that, by reason of its nature, is not likely to be used more than a de minimis amount for personal purposes. Reg. §1.274-5(k)(2)(ii) provides a list of such vehicles, which includes, in part: ambulances; clearly marked police, fire, public safety officer vehicles; and unmarked police vehicles.
Unmarked Emergency Vehicles
Recently, some municipalities have been providing unmarked vehicles to these first responders as a response to an increase in incidents of vandalism and harassment. These unmarked vehicles are typically equipped with special equipment such as lights and sirens, medical emergency equipment, communication radios, and personal protective equipment. Most fire and emergency response departments retain the title to these unmarked vehicles and have policies that limit the use of the vehicles for personal purposes.
The intent and use of these unmarked vehicles meet the definition of qualified nonpersonal vehicles provided in IRC §274(i). However, prior to the amendments, fire and emergency response departments had to substantiate the time the first responders spent using these unmarked vehicles for work related purposes. Personal use of these vehicles, no matter how minute, was required to be included in that employee’s income.
In addition to adding unmarked rescue to the list of qualified nonpersonal use vehicles provided in Reg. §1.274-5(k)(2)(ii), the amendments add Reg. §1.274-5(k)(7) which provides the definitions for “unmarked firefighter, rescue squad or ambulance crew vehicles”, “firefighter,” and “member of a rescue squad or ambulance crew.”
The amendments apply to tax years beginning on or after the date the final regulations are published in the Federal Register. However, taxpayers may rely on the guidance provided in the proposed regulations until that date.

Proposed regulations under Code Sec. 530A, providing guidance on making an election to open a Trump account, and under Code Sec. 6434, relating to the Trump account contribution pilot program, have been issued. Comments are requested and should be submitted via the Federal eRulemaking Portal (indicate IRS and REG-117270-25 for comments related to Code Sec. 530A or IRS and REG-117002-25 for comments related to Code Sec. 6434). The proposed regulations are proposed to apply on or after January 1, 2026.
Proposed regulations under Code Sec. 530A, providing guidance on making an election to open a Trump account, and under Code Sec. 6434, relating to the Trump account contribution pilot program, have been issued. Comments are requested and should be submitted via the Federal eRulemaking Portal (indicate IRS and REG-117270-25 for comments related to Code Sec. 530A or IRS and REG-117002-25 for comments related to Code Sec. 6434). The proposed regulations are proposed to apply on or after January 1, 2026.
Background
Code Sec. 530A, as added by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (P.L. 119-21) provides for the creation of a Trump account for an eligible individual. A Trump account is subject to certain special rules that do not apply to other types of individual retirement accounts during the growth period, which is the period that begins when an initial Trump account is established and ends on December 31st of the year in which the account beneficiary of the initial Trump account reaches the age of 17. Proposed regulations on the special rules that apply during and after the growth period are reserved and will be proposed at a later date.
In addition, Code Sec. 6434 was added, which provides for a one-time $1,000 pilot program contribution to the Trump account of an eligible child with respect to whom an election is made. The qualifications to be an eligible child are less restrictive than those to be an eligible individual. Finally, Code Sec. 128 allows for employer contributions to a Trump account of an employee or a dependent of an employee. These contributions must be made in accordance with the rules of a Code Sec. 128(c) Trump account contribution program. Guidance on this section is expected to be released in the future.
General Requirements and Election to Open an Account
A Trump account is either (1) an initial Trump account, created or organized by the Treasury Secretary for an eligible individual or (2) a rollover Trump account, which is an account created during the growth period and funded by a qualified rollover contribution from the account beneficiary's existing Trump account. An individual can only have one Trump account containing funds in existence at a time. The written governing instrument of a Trump account must generally meet the rules of Code Sec. 408(a)(1) through (6) and Code Sec. 530A (b)(1)(C)(i) through (iii). Any person approved by the IRS as of December 31, 2025, to be a nonbank trustee of an IRA would have automatic approval to act as a trustee of a Trump account. The written instrument must clearly identify the account as a Trump account at the time of creation.
An election to open an account can be made by either an authorized individual or by the Secretary. If a pilot program contribution election is made at the same as the election to open the initial account, the authorized individual would be the individual authorized to make (and making) the pilot program contribution election. If a pilot contribution program election is not being made, Prop. Reg. §1.530A-1(c)(1)(i)(B) provides an ordering rule to determine who the authorized individual is. In order of priority, the authorized individual would be a legal guardian, parent, adult sibling, or grandparent of the eligible individual. The election to open an initial Trump account is made on or before December 31st of the calendar year in which the eligible individual attains age 18. The election is made on Form 4547 or through an electronic application or webpage made available by the Secretary.
Contribution Pilot Program
A pilot program election with respect to an eligible child must be made by a pilot program-electing individual so that the Secretary can make the $1,000 pilot program contribution into the Trump account of en eligible child. An eligible child is a pilot program-electing individual's anticipated qualifying child, as defined in Code Sec. 152(c), for the tax year of the pilot program-electing individual in which the pilot program election is made; is born in 2025, 2026, 2027, or 2028; is a U.S. citizen; has been issued a social security number; and with respect to which no prior pilot program election has been made by any individual and processed by the Secretary.
A pilot program election is made with respect to the eligible child's "special taxable year" (defined in Prop. Reg. §301.6434-1(c)(1)), instead of with respect to any calendar based tax year for the eligible child's federal income tax liability. Once an election is processed, the eligible child is treated as making a $1,000 payment against a federal income tax liability for the eligible child's special taxable year, resulting in a $1,000 overpayment. The overpayment is then refunded by the Secretary as a pilot program contribution to the eligible child's Trump account. The overpayment is not refunded unless the eligible child has an established Trump account.
An election may be made on the day that a child becomes eligible, and the last day to make the election is December 31st of the calendar year in which the eligible child attains age 17. In addition, only the first pilot program contribution election processed by the IRS will result in a $1,000 contribution to the eligible child's Trump account. The pilot program contribution election is made on Form 4547.

The IRS expects to delay the applicability date of proposed regulations on required minimum distributions (RMDs) until the distribution calendar year that would begin 6 months after the date the regulations are finalized. Specifically, the announcement relates to proposed amendments of Reg. §§1.401(a)(9)-4, 1.401(a)(9)-5, and 1.401(a)(9)-6, issued pursuant to NPRM REG–103529–23 .

Specifically, the announcement relates to proposed amendments of Reg. §§1.401(a)(9)-4, 1.401(a)(9)-5, and 1.401(a)(9)-6, issued pursuant to NPRM REG–103529–23 .
Background
Prior to this announcement, provisions under NPRM REG–103529–23 (2024) were proposed to apply for determining RMDs for calendar years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. This ensured the provisions would begin to apply at the same time as final regulations under T.D. 10001 (2024).
Following a request for comments, concerns included difficulty to implement many provisions of future final regulations in a timely manner if the January 1, 2025, applicability date were to be retained in future final regulations.
Future Final Regulations
The IRS expects future final regulations that would amend Reg. §§1.401(a)(9)-4, 1.401(a)(9)-5, and 1.401(a)(9)-6, issued pursuant to NPRM REG–103529–23, to apply to determine RMDs for the distribution calendar year that would begin no earlier than six months after the date that any future final regulations would be issued in the Federal Register. For periods before the applicability date of such future final regulations, taxpayers must continue to apply a reasonable, good-faith interpretation.
Announcement 2026-7
The IRS has issued a waiver for individuals who failed to meet the foreign earned income or deduction eligibility requirements of Code Sec. 911(d)(1) because adverse conditions in certain foreign countries prevented them from fulfilling the requirements for the 2025 tax year. Qualified individuals may elect to exclude from gross income their foreign earned income and to exclude or deduct the housing cost amount.
The IRS has issued a waiver for individuals who failed to meet the foreign earned income or deduction eligibility requirements of Code Sec. 911(d)(1) because adverse conditions in certain foreign countries prevented them from fulfilling the requirements for the 2025 tax year. Qualified individuals may elect to exclude from gross income their foreign earned income and to exclude or deduct the housing cost amount.
Relief Provided
The IRS, in consultation with the Secretary of State, has determined that war, civil unrest, or similar adverse conditions precluded the normal conduct of business in the following countries, effective from the dates specified: (1) Haiti – January 1, 2025; (2) Ukraine – January 1, 2025; (3) Democratic Republic of the Congo – January 28, 2025; (4) South Sudan – March 7, 2025; (5) Iraq – June 11, 2025; (6) Lebanon – June 22, 2025; and (7) Mali – October 30, 2025. An individual who left any of these countries on or after the respective dates will be treated as a qualified individual for the period during which the individual was a bona fide resident of, or was present in, the country. To qualify for relief, an individual must establish that, but for these adverse conditions, they would have met the requirements of Code Sec. 911(d)(1). Additionally, the waiver does not apply to individuals who first established residency or were physically present in any of these countries after the respective dates listed above. Taxpayers seeking guidance on how to claim this exclusion or file an amended return should refer to the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion section at https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/foreign-earned-income-exclusion or contact a local IRS office.
