What the Middle Class Should Know About Tax Changes in 2026 Before Filing
Logan was tapped to explain what's actually changing for middle-class filers in 2026. He clarified that the bracket count and rates are holding steady — only the income thresholds are nudging up for inflation — and warned that the standard deduction is only getting a routine inflationary bump, not the major hike many filers remember from Trump's first tax bill.
"The number of tax brackets — along with their rates — are not changing, though the income ranges within each bracket have been increased for inflation. We're also not seeing a major increase to the standard deduction like we saw with Trump's first tax bill — the standard deduction is simply undergoing a standard inflationary increase from 2025 to 2026."

Logan walked retirees through one of the most expensive tax traps in retirement: Required Minimum Distributions.

"The simplest move that most taxpayers can still make to lower their bill is contributing to a traditional IRA before the filing deadline."

Logan broke down income most people don't realize is taxable — with a sharp focus on unemployment compensation. Losing your job doesn't earn you a tax break, he cautioned: those checks are fully reportable, and filers who skip them often get a surprise bill from the IRS.
"You might assume that if you've lost your job and are on unemployment, the government would give you a break and not tax you on your unemployment checks. Unfortunately, this isn't the case and your unemployment compensation will be taxed."
