IRS Proposes New Rules for Remittance Transfer Providers Under OBBBA

IRS Proposes New Rules for Remittance Transfer Providers Under OBBBA

The IRS has proposed new regulations for remittance transfer providers to implement the excise tax under the OBBBA. These rules define taxable remittance transfers as electronic fund transfers initiated by individuals for personal, family, or household purposes to recipients in foreign countries. The regulations exclude remittances initiated with funds from financial institutions or through U.S.-issued credit cards. The proposed rules aim to clarify the tax's application, including exceptions for small transactions and those funding securities purchases. The regulations also address anti-avoidance measures to prevent tax evasion through conduit transactions.

IRS Warns Taxpayers of Potential Late Filing Due to USPS Rule Changes

IRS Warns Taxpayers of Potential Late Filing Due to USPS Rule Changes

As the 2026 tax filing deadline approaches, the National Taxpayer Advocate has issued a warning to Americans regarding recent changes to U.S. Postal Service (USPS) rules. These changes could result in mailed tax returns or payments being classified as late, even if taxpayers believe they sent them on time. The new USPS procedures, effective since December 24, 2025, may cause postmarks to reflect the date mail is first processed at a postal facility rather than the date it is placed in a mailbox. This could undermine the 'timely mailed is timely filed' rule, potentially leading to penalties for taxpayers who file paper returns or mail payments close to IRS deadlines.

President Trump Questions DoorDash Driver on Transgender Athletes in Women's Sports

President Trump Questions DoorDash Driver on Transgender Athletes in Women's Sports

President Trump engaged in a conversation with Sharon Simmons, a DoorDash delivery driver, during a visit to the White House. The interaction occurred as Simmons delivered McDonald's food to the West Wing staff. Trump asked Simmons her opinion on whether men should play in women's sports, a topic he has frequently addressed in his critiques of Democratic policies. Simmons, who was there to discuss the 'no tax on tips' initiative, sidestepped the question, stating she had no opinion on the matter. The 'no tax on tips' initiative, part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed by Trump, allows workers to deduct up to $25,000 of qualified tips from their income taxes annually. This policy is aimed at benefiting workers with incomes under $150,000. Simmons, a grandmother from Arkansas, has been working with DoorDash since 2022 and has benefited significantly from the tax break, saving over $11,000.
