The IRS, U.S. Treasury, and Social Security Administration have announced a significant shift in how federal payments are made. Beginning September 30, 2025, paper checks will no longer be issued for tax refunds or federal benefits. All payments will transition to an electronic-only system.

The IRS has announced a mid-year change to the mailing addresses for certain tax payments, including Form 1040-V (Payment Voucher) and Form 1040-ES (Estimated Tax for Individuals). This update is effective immediately and impacts taxpayers who mail payments rather than paying electronically.

Brinker Simpson & Company, LLC, the region's premier accounting and financial advisory firm, is pleased to announce the promotion of six outstanding professionals across various departments. These promotions demonstrate the firm’s ongoing dedication to nurturing talent, offering growth opportunities, and providing exceptional service to clients.

Community in action! Our Brinker Simpson team joined forces with Teachers’ Teammates to pack backpacks and school supplies for local students, with a special visit from 6ABC’s Nick Iadonisi.

The One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) includes, among many other things, numerous provisions that can affect an individual’s taxes. The new law makes some changes to existing tax breaks that will be significant to many, but not all, taxpayers. It also creates new breaks that, again, will be significant to certain taxpayers. Finally, it makes permanent the tax rate reductions and most of the changes to deductions and credits made by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), with occasional tweaks.

For some time, President Trump and the GOP have had their sights on repealing many of the tax incentives created or enhanced by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). With the enactment of the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), they’ve made progress toward accomplishing that goal. Here’s a closer look at some of the individual-related and business-related clean energy tax incentives that are being scaled back or eliminated by the OBBBA.
