The seller concessions are simply treated as a reduction in the purchase price.  You are allowed to claim a tax deduction for property taxes assignable to the dates you owned the property, as if you paid them directly to the assessor, even if someone else paid them.  Likewise, the seller is only allowed to deduct the portion of taxes assignable to the dates they owned the property, even if they paid the entire year and did not get a credit back from the buyer.   (It's part of the law that only the owner can deduct the property taxes, so when the owner changes, the deduction is split on a pro-rated basis.)   You do need to be aware of when taxes are calculated and paid in your area.  For example, in New York State, county taxes are calculated from January 1 and payable by Feb 15, while school taxes are calculated from July 1 and payable in September (I think).  Which means that if you buy a home in June, you could claim a deduction for about 7/12ths of the county taxes, plus 1/12 of the school taxes from the previous year, plus the entire school tax bill that was paid the September after you bought the home.

Or you might have heard about President Trump's proposal to send $2,000 payments from tariff revenue. But it's just an idea, not a reality. It isn't happening anytime soon, and probably will never happen. 4 reasons you probably won’t get a $2,000 check from Trump soon Are New Trump $2,000 Stimulus Payments Coming in 2026?  

Yep - I only noticed it because I went into my ssa.gov account and saw that I have 0 earnings for 2024, and my 2023 earnings were increased by my 2024 numbers.  I created an SSA/IRS BSO account to look at the wage filings made on behalf of my LLC (I have used TaxBandits and QEF in the past to file my federal W-2's), and I also see there that the SSA shows that the W-2's filed by QEF on January 13, 2025 were posted to tax year 2023.    I tried to see what I filed in QEF in January 2025 - but access to QEF gets cut off on October 31st each year - but I doubt QEF had an option to allow me to accidentally send 2023 W-2's on January 13, 2025...   Now, maybe SSA/IRS messed up, or maybe (since I filed (as I recall) my QEF W-2's on one of the first days that QEF filing was available in Jan 2025) it was an early glitch in QEF that they fixed right away.  I also see that on Oct 8, 2025 some third party posted some corrections that MAY have zeroed out those 2023 W-2's (so I'm assuming that MAYBE Intuit is trying to fix it up, but that system doesn't show who is posting those changes) but any downstream effect of those corrections haven't shown up yet (I.e. my SSA earnings history is still messed up online).   Anyway, I don't expect any notices from the IRS/SSA for at least a year or 2, and any employer affected by this (and their employees) isn't really going to notice the issue right now unless they go into their ssa.gov accounts and really examine their earnings history or they have SSA/IRS BSO accounts and look at the EWR (Electronic Wage Reporting) system and run an Employer Report Status query (that shows earnings reported by third parties on behalf of their company/entity). Again, it's on that report that I have 0 submissions for 2024, and multiple submissions for 2023 (my "good" submissions that were actually for 2023 (filed via TaxBandits), the "bad" submissions filed on January 13, 2025 through QEF, and some mystery Oct 8, 2025 CORRECTION records as well).   Overall, probably no big deal for me since I only have 2 employees, but just another hassle to eventually deal with...

The only thing that the SECURE 2.0 Act did with regard to Roth contributions was require that catchup contributions to employer plans for highly compensated employees be Roth contributions.  As Opus 17 said, this has nothing to do with Roth IRAs or your AGI.  The employer is responsible for enforcing this requirement based on your earnings at that employer by depositing catchup contributions of highly compensated employees into the designated Roth account in the plan (again, not a Roth IRA).   Any contributions to the designated Roth account in your employer plan will be reported as such in box 12 of your W-2 and will not be excluded from the wages reported in box 1.

@Falloutgirl   You might be hearing about the Turbo Tax Flex Advance loan that’s based on your 2024 tax return up to $2,000.    But that has been paused and we don’t know if or when it will start again.   What is the Turbo Tax Flex Advance? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/loans/whats-turbotax-flex-advance/L2Xg6I...

There is no $2,000 stimulus available from the IRS for this December (2025), unfortunately.   If you had no income in 2024, you would not need to file a tax return, and at this time, there would be no benefit to you in doing so.   Should the government offer another round of stimulus payments in the future, we would expect there to be instructions available on how to claim any payment, and we would be happy to help at that time.  However, as of today, there is nothing to apply for.  Due to numerous rumors and misinformation being spread about potential payments, and the potential for fraud via spoofed websites, we recommend relying only on information posted on the IRS website.
