The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is urging Americans to begin preparing now for the 2026 filing season, noting that broad tax-law changes, newly adjusted benefit thresholds, and a phaseout of paper refund checks will make early organization critical for filing accurate returns.
On Nov. 26, the IRS launched its annual “Get Ready” campaign, encouraging taxpayers to review the latest updates tied to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and other changes that take effect in the coming months. Agency officials said the new law—signed by President Donald Trump earlier this year—will significantly affect federal taxes, credits, and deductions.
