Welcome back.
Ron and I recently published our big tax guide, where we broke down many of the new tax breaks available for the 2025 tax year, in addition to other changes.
Many of the changes are far more complicated than they sound — “no tax on tips and overtime,” for example, comes with a lot of fine print. Tax filers may also have more trouble getting answers from the Internal Revenue Service, which cut more than a quarter of its work force.
If you run into issues, we’ll be here to help. Have a tax question? Write to us at yourmoney_newsletter@nytimes.com.
Below, you’ll find a roundup of money stories from across The Times. Have a great week.
Are you ‘biohacking’ to perform better at work? We want to hear from you.
As employers become more precise in measuring productivity, many workers are focusing on improving their job performance. Some are trying to boost the functioning of their brains and nervous systems — for example, by tracking their sleep quality or heart rate variability through an Apple Watch and trying to improve them. If you’ve engaged in so-called biohacking to help you think more clearly and do your job better, we’d like to hear from you.
How are we doing?
We’d love your feedback on this newsletter. Please email thoughts and suggestions to yourmoney_newsletter@nytimes.com.
