AmeriFile Tax Centers, a locally owned Quad Cities tax firm celebrating 40 years in business, explains the new federal tax law and what it means for refunds, withholding, tips, overtime, seniors, and child tax credits, while positioning itself as a trusted local tax authority.

MOLINE, Ill., Jan. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- AmeriFile Tax Centers, a locally owned tax preparation company celebrating 40 years in business, is helping Quad Cities taxpayers understand a new federal tax law that could significantly impact refunds this year.

The newly passed tax legislation spans more than 900 pages and includes changes affecting withholding, tips, overtime income, seniors, and child tax credits.

"This tax law is massive, complex, and confusing — but if it's handled correctly, many taxpayers could see bigger refunds," said James Fromi, President of AmeriFile Tax Centers. With the complex tax law, many people are confused and already asking questions such as:

Will I get a bigger refund this year?

• How does the new tax law affect my withholding?
• Is there really no tax on tips or overtime?
• What changed for seniors and retirees?
• Is the Child Tax Credit & EIC bigger this year?
• What do I need to bring to make sure my return is done right?

AmeriFile has a long history of navigating major federal tax changes. The company's owners created Taxbyte Software, in 1981, one of the country's first computer tax software and submitted some of the earliest electronically filed tax returns to the IRS.

"We've seen major tax law changes before, and experience matters when the rules change," Fromi said. "Small mistakes can delay refunds or cost taxpayers money."

For four decades, AmeriFile has served families and small businesses throughout the Quad Cities, helping clients adapt to new tax regulations while maximizing refunds and avoiding costly errors.

The firm is also known for its community involvement. AmeriFile was founded on giving back to the community. AmeriFile has been able to donate over $350,000 to the Quad Cities United Way and is now donating $5 for every new tax return to local animal shelters. This should result in thousands of dollars donated to help our struggling shelters find homes for lovable animals! Also, AmeriFile, for our 40th Birthday, is giving all clients a Gift Pack valued at over $55! Featuring FREE food from Jersey Mike's, Happy Joe's, and more from Quad Cities businesses.

AmeriFile offers multiple convenient options for taxpayers, including in-person appointments, secure online upload, and a unique drive-thru tax preparation window used by thousands of clients each year. Stay safe and warm in your car, drop your tax docs off at the window, and go about your day. No appt needed!
