November Ballot Tax Measures Target High Income: What to Watch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Federal taxes often get the most attention, but state and local taxes make up a significant portion of the tax burden for households across the country. As many states grapple with budget pressures and competing revenue demands, whether high earners should pay more taxes is a key question. That issue will reach voters in several states this November, with 2026 midterm election ballot measures taking different approaches to taxing wealth and high-income households. Proposals range from changing s
IRS Is Taking a Closer Look at Trusts: What It Means for Estate Planning (opens the original)

So far, the administration has indicated that the ACA rebates are
Texas Voters Face a Tax Choice: Property Tax Cuts or $1,500 Refunds? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Affordability has emerged as a defining issue in many states this election cycle, and Texas, where Gov. Greg Abbott is seeking a fourth term, is no exception. Abbott has placed property-tax relief at the center of his campaign agenda, while his Democratic challenger, state Rep. Gina Hinojosa, is offering a different approach: a one-time $1,500 payment to every Texas household, funded with $17 billion from the state's "Rainy Day Fund." Although Texas is a no-income-tax state, the proposals come a
