Gambling losses have always been limited to the amount of your winnings, but starting in 2026, the rules get even tighter. Taxpayers will only be able to deduct 90% of gambling losses, including expenses for professional gamblers, against their winnings. That means even if you break even in real life, you could still owe taxes on part of your gains.

For casual players and professionals alike, this change could increase taxable income and reduce the relief many expected at tax time. If gambling is part of your income stream, knowing this rule now can help you plan smarter and avoid unpleasant surprises.

Starting in 2025, the cap may increase to $40,000, a major jump from the long-standing $10,000 limit. However, there’s a catch: the deduction phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $500,000, and once income goes above that level, the benefit drops back down.

For many homeowners and high-tax state residents, this could mean meaningful tax relief but only if you fall within the qualifying income range. Once again, the headline sounds generous, but the real impact depends on where you land financially.

QuickBooks works best when it is set up to match how your business actually operates. A customized setup makes your reports clearer and your bookkeeping much easier to manage.

• Customize your chart of accounts so income and expenses reflect the way your business runs

• Set up products, services, and categories that match what you actually sell

• Set up classes, locations, or projects if you want to track different revenue streams

When QuickBooks is set up correctly, it becomes a powerful tool for understanding your business finances.

Does your QuickBooks reflect how your business actually operates, or are you still using the default setup?

From 2025 to 2028, a new rule allows individuals to deduct up to $10,000 of qualifying car loan interest per year, with phaseouts beginning at $100,000 in modified adjusted gross income for single filers and $200,000 for married couples filing jointly. Previously, this deduction did not exist at all.

If you’re financing a vehicle or planning a purchase, this change could influence how you structure your loan and manage your overall tax strategy. Big opportunities come with fine print knowing the limits and income thresholds can help you maximize the benefit.

But have you actually reviewed your numbers?

Your first quarter tells a story.

It shows you what is working, what is draining cash, and where profit may be slipping.

Revenue is only part of the picture.

Margins, expenses, cash flow, debt, and owner pay matter just as much.

If your reports feel confusing, outdated, or incomplete, you are not making decisions with clear data.

And that impacts everything.

If you need help reviewing your Q1 numbers or cleaning up your books, we are here to support you.
