Check your withholding.
With nearly half the tax year behind you, now is a good time to run the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator at irs.gov (https://www.irs.gov/individuals/tax-withholding-estimator) to see if your current withholding is on track. The tool was recently updated to reflect OBBBA changes, including the no-tax-on-tips and no-tax-on-overtime deductions. (IR-2026-35) Adjusting your Form W-4 now can prevent a surprise bill—or unnecessary over withholding—when you file next April.
