IRS Releases Draft Form for New Tax Deductions - Here's What You Need to Know

The Internal Revenue Service has just released a draft tax form that could put more money back in your pocket. If you're eligible for any of the new deductions under the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act, you'll want to pay attention to this development.

The new Schedule 1-A Additional Deductions form is designed to attach to your standard Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR and covers four specific tax benefits: No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, No Tax on Car Loan Interest, and the Enhanced Deduction for Seniors. While the form is still in draft status and open for public comment, this represents a significant step toward implementing these taxpayer-friendly provisions.

What makes this particularly noteworthy is that the IRS has also indicated they're developing specific job categories that would qualify for the No Tax on Tips provision, though they haven't made an official announcement yet. For business owners, this could significantly impact payroll strategies and employee compensation planning.

Maximizing Your Itemized Deductions Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act: A Strategic Guide for 2026

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of itemized deductions, creating both new opportunities and challenges for taxpayers who want to maximize their tax savings. While the SALT deduction cap increases to $40,000 and new charitable giving options emerge, taxpayers also face a new 0.5% AGI floor on charitable deductions and limitations that effectively cap itemized deduction benefits at 35% for high earners starting in 2026. Success under the new law requires strategic multi-year planning, including bunching deductions in alternating years and carefully timing major deductible expenses to avoid new limitations while maximizing available benefits.
