It’s the end of 2025. But every ending is a new beginning. In this case, the beginning of the 2026 tax season! Yea!! I know you’re all very excited for this. This year, like the last 47 years we’ve been in business, we’ll do everything we can to help make it smooth.

Look for our emails

If you’re not receiving emails from us on a regular basis, check your spam folder and email support@cssisw.com with your preferred contact email. We recently mailed out the End of Year Preparation letter and a note to say Happy Thanksgiving. So, if you didn’t receive those, please let us know because we send all sorts of yummy goodness!

We got you

See our previous post about the new tax withholding rules that either went into retroactive effect this year or start in 2026. Your 401k plans and overtime are affected, but we’ve got it all under control, so you don’t have to worry about anything except having a Roth 401k set up to back up a traditional 401k offering. We’ll take care of the rest!

Let us take some stuff off your plate

Finally, please remember to sign up for any or all of the end-of-year services we’re offering. Specifically, we’ll submit your W-2s to the Social Security Administration, your 1099s (MISC and NEC) to the IRS. Starting last year, we’re offering to mail out the physical copies of the 1099s to your vendors. And newly added this year, we’ll submit your ACA 1095s to the AIR system. With the 10 form max requiring electronic submission, we highly encourage you to let us manage the headache of dealing with the three different submission portals. The only thing we’re not doing is handling the state level taxes.

We’ll send out a notice when the End of Year letter is ready, and we’ll have our update program to take care of the new tax tables for 2026. Around that time, we should also have the update for CSSI to process the changes for next year (W-2 reporting the overtime earnings and the Roth backup for 401ks) so you’ll be set to hit the ground running in 2026.
