Tax deadline Wednesday: New child credits and tip deductions to remember

Tax Day is almost here and if you haven't filed yet, time is running out.

The deadline to file is Wednesday and there are some changes you need to know about this year.

Taxpayers with children are getting a boost. Child tax credits have risen from $2,000 to $2,200 per qualifying child under the age of 17.

There are also two new deductions when it comes to tips and overtime.

Through 2028, taxpayers can deduct up to $25,000 in tip income plus up to $12,500 in overtime per person.

If you can, file electronically. It's faster and more secure.

Always double-check your Social Security numbers, the math and all signatures before you hit submit or mail anything in.

If you owe, filing an extension does not extend your time to pay.

After you finish up, there are some ways to treat yourself.

You'll find buy-one-get-one deals at Krispy Kreme and Great American Cookies and even free shaved ice at Kona Ice.
