The IRS has released the annual inflation adjustments for 2025 for the income tax rate tables, plus more than 60 other tax provisions. The IRS makes these cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) each year to reflect inflation.

For 2025, the Social Security wage cap will be $176,100, and social security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits will increase by 2.5 percent. These changes reflect cost-of-living adjustments to account for inflation.

For 2025, the Social Security wage cap will be $176,100, and social security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits will increase by 2.5 percent. These changes reflect cost-of-living adjustments to account for inflation.

Wage Cap for Social Security Tax

The Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax on wages is 7.65 percent each for the employee and the employer. FICA tax has two components:

• a 6.2 percent social security tax, also known as old age, survivors, and disability insurance (OASDI); and
• a 1.45 percent Medicare tax, also known as hospital insurance (HI).

For self-employed workers, the Self-Employment tax is 15.3 percent, consisting of:

• a 12.4 percent OASDI tax; and
• a 2.9 percent HI tax.

OASDI tax applies only up to a wage base, which includes most wages and self-employment income up to the annual wage cap.

For 2025, the wage base is $176,100. Thus, OASDI tax applies only to the taxpayer’s first $176,100 in wages or net earnings from self-employment. Taxpayers do not pay any OASDI tax on earnings that exceed $176,100.

There is no wage cap for HI tax.

Maximum Social Security Tax for 2025

For workers who earn $176,100 or more in 2025:

• an employee will pay a total of $10,918.20 in social security tax ($176,100 x 6.2 percent);
• the employer will pay the same amount; and
• a self-employed worker will pay a total of $21,836.40 in social security tax ($176,100 x 12.4 percent).

Additional Medicare Tax

Higher-income workers may have to pay an Additional Medicare tax of 0.9 percent. This tax applies to wages and self-employment income that exceed:

• $250,000 for married taxpayers who file a joint return;
• $125,000 for married taxpayers who file separate returns; and
• $200,000 for other taxpayers.

The annual wage cap does not affect the Additional Medicare tax.

Benefit Increase for 2025

Finally, a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) will increase social security and SSI benefits for 2025 by 2.5 percent. The COLA is intended to ensure that inflation does not erode the purchasing power of these benefits.

The IRS announced tax relief for certain individuals and businesses affected by terrorist attacks in the State of Israel throughout 2023 and 2024. The Treasury and IRS may provide additional relief in the future.

Notice 2024-72

IR-2024-252

The IRS has expanded the list of preventive care benefits permitted to be provided by a high deductible health plan (HDHP) under Code Sec. 223(c)(2)(C) without a deductible, or with a deductible below the applicable minimum deductible for the HDHP, to include oral contraception, breast cancer screening, and continuous glucose monitors for certain patients.

The IRS has expanded the list of preventive care benefits permitted to be provided by a high deductible health plan (HDHP) under Code Sec. 223(c)(2)(C) without a deductible, or with a deductible below the applicable minimum deductible for the HDHP, to include oral contraception, breast cancer screening, and continuous glucose monitors for certain patients.

Contraceptives

A health plan will not fail to qualify as an HDHP under Code Sec. 223(c)(2) merely because it provides benefits for over-the-counter (OTC) oral contraceptives, including emergency contraceptives, and male condoms before taxpayers satisfied the minimum annual deductible for an HDHP under Code Sec. 223(c)(2)(A). The HRSA-Supported Guidelines relating to contraceptives have been updated and no longer contain the "as prescribed" restriction.

Breast Cancer and Diabetes Care

The IRS has also clarified that all types of breast cancer screening for taxpayers (including those other than mammograms) who have not been diagnosed with breast cancer will be treated as preventive care under Code Sec. 223(c)(2)(C). Moreover, continuous glucose monitors for individuals diagnosed with diabetes are also treated as preventive care under Code Sec. 223(c)(2)(C).

Insulin Products Safe Harbor

The new safe harbor for absence of a deductible for certain insulin products under Code Sec. 223(c)(2)(G) will apply without regard to whether the insulin product was prescribed to treat taxpayers diagnosed with diabetes. or prescribed for the purpose of preventing the exacerbation of diabetes or the development of a secondary condition.

Effective Date

This guidance is generally effective for plan years (in the individual market, policy years) that begin on or after December 30, 2022.

Effect on Other Documents

Notice 2004-23 is clarified by noting the safe harbor for absence of a deductible for breast cancer screening.

Notice 2018-12 is superseded with respect to the guidance regarding male condoms.

Notice 2019-45 is clarified and expanded by noting the safe harbor for absence of a deductible for continuous glucose monitors and for certain insulin products pursuant to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

Notice 2024-75

The IRS has released the applicable terminal charge and the Standard Industry Fare Level (SIFL) mileage rate for determining the value of noncommercial flights on employer-provided aircraft in effect for the second half of 2024 for purposes of the taxation of fringe benefits. 

The IRS has released the applicable terminal charge and the Standard Industry Fare Level (SIFL) mileage rate for determining the value of noncommercial flights on employer-provided aircraft in effect for the second half of 2024 for purposes of the taxation of fringe benefits. Further, in March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (P.L. 116-136) was enacted, directing the Treasury Department to allot up to $25 billion for domestic carriers to cover payroll expenses via grants and promissory notes, known as the Payroll Support Program (PSP). Therefore, the IRS has provided the SIFL Mileage Rate. The value of a flight is determined under the base aircraft valuation formula by multiplying the SIFL cents-per-mile rates applicable for the period during which the flight was taken by the appropriate aircraft multiple provided in Reg. §1.61-21(g)(7) and then adding the applicable terminal charge.

For flights taken during the period from July 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024, the terminal charge is $54.30, and the SIFL rates are: $.2971 per mile for the first 500 miles, $.2265 per mile 501 through 1,500 miles, and $.2178 per mile over 1,500 miles.

The IRS identified drought-stricken areas where tax relief is available to taxpayers that sold or exchanged livestock because of drought. The relief extends the deadlines for taxpayers to replace the livestock and avoid reporting gain on the sales. These extensions apply until the drought-stricken area has a drought-free year.

The IRS identified drought-stricken areas where tax relief is available to taxpayers that sold or exchanged livestock because of drought. The relief extends the deadlines for taxpayers to replace the livestock and avoid reporting gain on the sales. These extensions apply until the drought-stricken area has a drought-free year.

When Sales of Livestock are Involuntary Conversions

Sales of livestock due to drought are involuntary conversions of property. Taxpayers can postpone gain on involuntary conversions if they buy qualified replacement property during the replacement period. Qualified replacement property must be similar or related in service or use to the converted property.

Usually, the replacement period ends two years after the tax year in which the involuntary conversion occurs. However, a longer replacement period applies in several situations, such as when sales occur in a drought-stricken area.

Livestock Sold Because of Weather

Taxpayers have four years to replace livestock they sold or exchanged solely because of drought, flood, or other weather condition. Three conditions apply.

First, the livestock cannot be raised for slaughter, held for sporting purposes or be poultry.

Second, the taxpayer must have held the converted livestock for:

• draft.
• dairy, or
• breeding purposes.

Third, the weather condition must make the area eligible for federal assistance.

Persistent Drought

The IRS extends the four-year replacement period when a taxpayer sells or exchanges livestock due to persistent drought. The extension continues until the taxpayer’s region experiences a drought-free year.

The first drought-free year is the first 12-month period that:

• ends on August 31 in or after the last year of the four-year replacement period, and
• does not include any weekly period of drought.

What Areas are Suffering from Drought

The National Drought Mitigation Center produces weekly Drought Monitor maps that report drought-stricken areas. Taxpayers can view these maps at

https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/Maps/MapArchive.aspx

However, the IRS also provided a list of areas where the year ending on August 31, 2024, was not a drought-free year. The replacement period in these areas will continue until the area has a drought-free year.

The IRS has taken special steps to provide more than 500 employees to help with the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) disaster relief call lines and sending IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) agents into devastated areas to help with search and rescue efforts and other relief work as part of efforts to help victims of Hurricane Helene. The IRS assigned more than 500 customer service representatives from Dallas and Philadelphia to help FEMA phone operations.

The IRS assigned more than 500 customer service representatives from Dallas and Philadelphia to help FEMA phone operations.

Further, a team of 16 special agents from across the country were initially deployed last week by the IRS-CI to the Tampa area to help with search and rescue teams. During the weekend, the IRS team moved to North Carolina to assist with door-to-door search efforts. As part of this work, the IRS-CI agents are also assisting FEMA with security and protection for relief teams and their equipment.

Additionally, the IRS reminded taxpayers in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina and parts of Florida, Tennessee and Virginia that they have until May 1, 2025, to file various federal individual and business tax returns and make tax payments. The IRS is offering relief to any area designated by FEMA. Besides all of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, this currently includes 41 counties in Florida, eight counties in Tennessee and six counties and one city in Virginia.

The IRS provided guidance addressing long-term, part-time employee eligibility rules under Code Sec. 403(b)(12)(D), which apply to certain 403(b) plans beginning in 2025. The IRS also announced a delayed applicability date for related final regulations under Code Sec. 401(k).

The IRS provided guidance addressing long-term, part-time employee eligibility rules under Code Sec. 403(b)(12)(D), which apply to certain 403(b) plans beginning in 2025. The IRS also announced a delayed applicability date for related final regulations under Code Sec. 401(k).

Application of Code Sec. 403(b)(12)

The IRS provided guidance in the form of questions and answers on the requirement that 403(b) plans allow certain long-term, part-time employee to participate. The IRS clarified that the long-term, part-time employee eligibility rules only apply to 403(b) plans that are subject to title I of ERISA. Thus, a governmental plan under ERISA §3(32) is not subject to the long-term, part-time employee eligibility rules because it is not subject to title I pursuant to ERISA §4(b). The guidance also provides that 403(b) plans can continue to exclude student employees regardless of whether the individual qualifies under long-term, part-time employee eligibility rules.

Future Guidance

The guidance for 403(b) plans applies for plan years beginning after December 31, 2024. The IRS anticipates issuing proposed regulations applicable to 403(b) plans that are generally similar to regulations applicable to 401(k) plans.

Applicability Date for 401(k) Regulations

The IRS also addressed the applicability date of rules for 401(k) plans. Final regulations related to long-term, part-time employee eligibility rules will apply no earlier than to plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, the IRS said.

The Internal Revenue Service is estimated a slight decrease in the estimated tax gap for tax year 2022.

According to Tax Gap Projections for Tax Year 2022 report, the IRS is projecting the net tax gap to be $606 billion in TY 2022, down from the revised projected tax gap of $617 billion for TY 2021. The decrease track with a one-percent decrease in the true tax liability during that time.

he Internal Revenue Service is estimated a slight decrease in the estimated tax gap for tax year 2022.

According to Tax Gap Projections for Tax Year 2022 report, the IRS is projecting the net tax gap to be $606 billion in TY 2022, down from the revised projected tax gap of $617 billion for TY 2021. The decrease track with a one-percent decrease in the true tax liability during that time.

The TY 2022 gross tax is projected to be $696 billion, and includes the following components:

• Underreporting (tax understated on timely filed returns) - $539 billion
• Underpayment (tax that was reported on time, but not paid on time) - $94 billion
• Nonfiling (tax not paid on time by those who did not file on time) - $63 billion

For TY 2022, the projected net tax gap broken down by tax type includes:

• Individual income tax - $447 billion
• Corporation income tax - $40 billion
• Employment taxes - $119 billion
• Estate tax and excise tax – less than $500 million in each category

The size of the tax gap "vividly illustrates the ongoing need for adequate funding for the IRS," agency Commissioner Daniel Werfel said in a statement. "We need to focus both on compliance efforts to enforce existing laws as well as improving services to help taxpayers with their tax obligations to help address the tax gap."

From TY 2021 to TY 2022, the voluntary compliance rate slightly increased from 84.9 percent to 85.0 percent and the net compliance rate rose slightly from 86.9 percent from 86.8 percent.

The agency stated in the report that the relatively static voluntary compliance rate was "largely expected since the projection methodology assumes that reporting compliance behavior has not changed since the TY 2014-2016 time frame," although the voluntary compliance rate is projected to fall from 58 percent in TY 2021 to 55 percent in TY 2022.

Before the fast-approaching new year, it’s important to take some time and reflect on year-end tax planning. The weeks pass quickly and the arrival of January 1, 2015 will close the doors to some tax planning strategies and opportunities. Fortunately, there is still time for a careful review of your year-end tax planning strategy.

Before the fast-approaching new year, it’s important to take some time and reflect on year-end tax planning. The weeks pass quickly and the arrival of January 1, 2015 will close the doors to some tax planning strategies and opportunities. Fortunately, there is still time for a careful review of your year-end tax planning strategy.

Traditional year-end planning techniques

For many individuals, a look at traditional year-end tax planning techniques is a good starting point. Spreading the recognition of certain income between 2014 and 2015 is one technique. Individuals need to take into account any possible changes in their income tax bracket. The individual income tax rates for 2014 are unchanged from 2013: 10, 15, 25, 28, 33, 35 and 39.6 percent. Each taxable income bracket is indexed for inflation. The starting points for the 39.6 percent bracket for 2014 are $406,750 for unmarried individuals; $457,600 for married couples filing a joint return and surviving spouses; $432,200 for heads of households; and $228,800 for married couples filing separate returns. For 2014, the top tax rate for qualified capital gains and qualified dividends is 20 percent.

For the second year, individuals also need to plan for potential net investment income (NII) tax liability. The NII tax applies to taxpayers with certain types of income and who fall within the thresholds for liability. Again, spreading income out over a number of years or offsetting the income with both above-the-line and itemized deductions are strategies to consider.

Tax extenders

Many individuals are surprised to learn that some very popular and widely-used tax incentives are temporary. If you claimed the higher education tuition deduction on your 2013 return, you cannot claim it in your 2014 return because the deduction expired after 2013. The same is true for the state and local sales tax deduction, the teachers’ classroom expense deduction, the Code Sec. 25C residential energy credit, transit benefits parity, and more. All of these tax breaks expired after 2013 and unless they are extended by Congress, you will not be able to claim them on your 2014 returns.

Businesses are also affected. A lengthy list of business-oriented tax breaks expired after 2013. They include the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), research tax credit, Indian employment credit, employer wage credit for military reservists, special incentives for biodiesel and renewable fuels, tax credits for energy-efficient homes and appliances, and more.

The good news is that Congress is likely to extend these tax breaks, probably for two years, and make the extension retroactive to January 1, 2014. That means taxpayers can claim these incentives on their 2014 returns. One hurdle is when Congress will act. In past years, lawmakers waited until very late in the year, or even until the start of the new year, to vote on an extension of these incentives. Late extension puts extra pressure on the IRS to quickly reprogram its return processing systems. Most likely, the IRS will have to delay the start of the filing season. Our office will keep you posted of developments.

Retirement savings

In 2014, the Tax Court surprised many with its decision that a taxpayer could make only one nontaxable rollover contribution within each one-year period regardless of how many IRAs the taxpayer maintained (Bobrow, TC Memo. 2014-21). The one-year limitation is not specific to any single IRA maintained by a taxpayer, but instead applies to all IRAs maintained by the taxpayer. The IRS, in turn, announced that it would change its rules to reflect the court’s decision.

The key point to keep in mind is that the Bobrow decision affects only IRA-to-IRA rollovers. The decision does not limit trustee-to-trustee transfers.

Affordable Care Act

Individuals who obtain health insurance through the Affordable Care Act Marketplace (and the federal government estimates they number seven million) have special tax planning considerations, especially if they are eligible for the Code Sec. 36B premium assistance tax credit. The credit is payable in advance to insurers and it appears that most taxpayers have elected this option. These individuals must reconcile the amount paid in advance with the amount of the actual credit computed when they file their tax returns. Changes in circumstances, such as an increase or decrease in income, marriage, birth or adoption of a child, and so on, may affect the amount of the actual credit.

Remember that the Affordable Care Act requires individuals to have minimum essential coverage for each month, qualify for an exemption, or make a payment when filing his or her federal income tax return. Many individuals will qualify for an exemption if they are covered under employer-sponsored coverage. Individuals covered by Medicare also are exempt.

If you have any questions about year-end planning, please contact our office.

The IRS is moving quickly to alert employers about a new tax credit for health insurance premiums. The recently enacted health care reform package (the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010) created the small employer health insurance tax credit. The temporary credit is targeted to small employers that offer or will offer health insurance coverage to their employees. The credit, like so many federal tax incentives, has certain qualifications. Please contact our office and we can arrange to review in detail how the credit may cut the cost of your business's health insurance premiums. The dollar benefits of the credit are substantial and they apply immediately to 2010 premium costs.

Outreach

The IRS is sending postcards to more than four million small businesses in coming weeks. The postcards briefly describe the new tax credit and are just one part of the IRS's outreach campaign to educate employers about the credit. The IRS has also created a special page on its web site on the credit along with a fact sheet and frequently asked questions and answers.

Maximum credit

The new health care credit is effective immediately so employers need to plan now to take advantage of it. The credit, which is available over the next five years, also rises over time but the enhanced credit comes with some additional requirements.

For tax years beginning in 2010 through 2013, the maximum credit reaches 35 percent of qualified premium costs paid by for-profit employers. The maximum credit is 25 percent of qualified premium costs paid by tax-exempt employers.

The maximum credit climbs to 50 percent of qualified premium costs paid by for-profit employers (35 percent for tax-exempt employers) for tax years beginning in 2014 through 2015. However, Congress imposed some additional requirements. An employer may claim the credit only if it offers one or more qualified health plans through a state insurance exchange. The health care reform package requires states to create insurance exchanges by January 1, 2014.

Example. ABC Co. employs nine individuals with average annual wages of $23,000 for each employee in 2010. ABC pays $72,000 in health care premiums for its employees. This amount does not exceed the average premium for the small group market in the state in which ABC offers coverage and ABC otherwise meets the requirements for the credit. ABC's credit for 2010 is $25,200 (35 percent x $72,000).

Tax-exempt employers have additional limitations. If the amount of their credit exceeds the amount of payroll taxes of the tax-exempt employer during the calendar year in which the tax year begins, the credit is limited to the amount of payroll taxes.

FTEs

The maximum credit is available to qualified employers with no more than 10 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees paying average annual wages of $25,000 or less. The credit completely phases out if an employer has 25 or more FTEs or pays $50,000 or more in average annual wages. Effectively, a small employer can have exactly 25 FTEs or pay average annual compensation of exactly $50,000 and not receive a credit under the phase-out rules. The monetary amounts are adjusted for inflation after 2013.

The health care reform package explains how to calculate the number of FTEs. The number of an employer's FTEs is determined by dividing the total hours for which the employer pays wages to employees during the year (but not more than 2,080 hours for any employee) by 2,080. The result, if not a whole number, is rounded to the next lowest whole number. Lawmakers selected 2,080 hours because 2,080 hours comprise the number of hours in a 52-week assuming a 40-hour work week. Any hours beyond 2,080, such as overtime hours, are not taken into account when calculating FTEs.

Example. ABC Co has nine employees. ABC pays Aidan, Bonnie, Catherine, David, and Eddie wages for 2,080 hours each for 2010. ABC pays Francine, Gary and Harry wages for 1,040 hours each for 2010. ABC pays Kieran wages for 2,300 hours for 2010. The total hours not exceeding 2,080 per employee is the sum of: --10,400 hours for the five employees paid for 2,080 hours each (5 x 2,080) plus --3,120 hours for the three employees paid for 1,040 hours each (3 x 1,040) plus --2,080 hours for the one employee paid for 2,300 hours (lesser of 2,300 and 2,080), which add up to 15,600 hours.

To calculate the number of FTEs, 15,600 is divided by 2,080, which results in 7.5, rounded to the next lowest whole number.

Average annual wages

A formula is also used to calculate average annual wages. The amount of average annual wages is determined by first dividing the total wages paid by the employer to employees during the employer's tax year by the number of the employer's FTEs for the year. The result is then rounded down to the nearest $1,000 (if not otherwise a multiple of $1,000).

Example. ABC Co. pays $224,000 in wages and has 10 FTEs. ABC's average annual wages are $224,000 divided by 10 which equals $22,400, and is rounded down to the nearest $1,000 for a final number of $22,000

Owners and family members

Some individuals are excluded from the calculation of FTEs and average annual wages. These include a sole proprietor, a partner in a partnership, a shareholder owning more than two percent of an S corporation, and any owner of more than five percent of other businesses. Certain family members of these individuals are also excluded from the calculation of FTEs and average annual wages. These include a child, a parent, a sibling, and others. This list is not exhaustive. Please contact our office for more details about who is excluded from these calculations.

Premium deduction

Employers generally may deduct the cost of health insurance premiums paid on behalf of employees. The health care reform package does not change this general rule. However, the amount of premiums that an employer may deduct is reduced by the amount of the small employer health care tax credit.

Qualifying arrangement

Only premiums paid by the employer under a qualifying arrangement are counted in calculating the credit. Under a qualifying arrangement, the employer pays premiums for each employee enrolled in health care coverage offered by the employer in an amount equal to a uniform percentage (not less than 50 percent) of the premium cost of the coverage. The IRS is developing transition relief for 2010.

Additionally, the amount of an employer's premium payments is capped in relation to the average premium for the small group market. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will determine the average premium for the small group market in a state.

Congress is currently reviewing the costs of premiums. The health care reform package includes a requirement, effective in 2011, that insurance companies spend at least 80 percent of premium revenue on actual health care. Additionally, the health care reform package establishes a process for the annual review of premium increases prior to their use along with public disclosure of how premium rates are determined.

Claiming the credit

Qualified for-profit employers will claim the credit on their annual income tax return. The IRS is expected to advise how tax-exempt employers will claim the credit. Our office will keep you posted of developments.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a qualified small business can choose to start offering health insurance coverage to employees in 2010 and be eligible for the credit. If you are considering providing insurance coverage to your employees, please contact our office. If you have already been paying premiums, don't leave maximizing the new credit to chance; we can help you navigate the many federal rules that come into play.

As always, please contact our office if you have any questions about the new small employer health insurance tax credit.
