New rules, smart credits, and safer ways to save on taxes

This cluster pulls together videos and articles showing everyday filers how to cut their tax bill and boost refunds as 2025–2026 rule changes kick in. Posts cover shifts in deductions and credits (including the Child Tax Credit, Earned Income Tax Credit, WOTC, and solar incentives), plus comparisons of married vs. single filing and strategies tied to the expiring Trump-era tax cuts. Several resources walk through new or overlooked deductions for the 2025 return, explain the pros and cons of filing an extension, and flag the types of claims most likely to trigger IRS scrutiny. It’s essentially a playbook for first-time and seasoned filers to claim every legitimate benefit without wandering into audit-risk territory.
