Accountancy Professor Michele Frank provided some crucial tax tips for the 2026 filing season, explaining the nuances of the new deductions for tips and overtime pay, in a recent Newsweek article. Taxpayers beware: these new rules “are subject to a number of exceptions and do not completely eliminate taxes on tips and overtime pay,” said Frank.

Also highlighted by the article are new deductions for taxpayers older than 65 (under certain income limits) and increased child tax credits. More of Frank’s tax advice can be found in a GoBankingRates article, “Tax Planners: Costliest Mistakes the Middle-Class Makes on Their Taxes.”

Frank was recently named Miami University’s nominee for the Mid-American Conference Outstanding Faculty Award for Student Success. Read more about this honor in this article.
