Good news for employers! 📣 The IRS just made it easier to offer paid family & medical leave - and get rewarded for it. Notice 2026-28 confirms the Working Families Tax Cuts permanently expands the Paid Family and Medical Leave Tax Credit, so businesses (especially small businesses!) now have even more reason to support their teams.

✅ More employees qualify - including part-timers working 20+ hrs/week with 6 months of service
✅ Credit now covers PFML insurance premiums, not just wages
✅ Employers can earn a credit worth 12.5% to 25% of wages paid during leave

Bottom line: your business can now support employees caring for a new baby or a sick family member and get real tax relief for doing it. Read Tim Hughes' full breakdown in this month's Tax News on the Tenth. https://tinyurl.com/3fx7jdk7

Thinking about using AI to represent yourself in litigation? Think again. It is well-documented that pro se litigants are less likely to prevail compared to their represented counterparts. Regardless, AI has provided people with a false sense of security, tempting them to represent themselves regard...
