Tax law change email templates for clients

When the law changes, clients want to know one thing: does this affect me? A good update email answers that in the first two lines and links to the detail.

The 1099 threshold is changing for payments you make in 2026

What this means for the contractors you pay this year.

Hi {first_name},

For payments made in 2026, the 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC reporting threshold rises to $2,000. The $600 threshold still applies to 2025 payments.

Keep collecting W-9s from every contractor. We will confirm who needs a form when we close your books.

Figures from the IRS Instructions for Forms 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC, via our tax return changes tracker.

Structure that works

Lead with who is affected, then what changed, then what the client should do. Put the figure in the email and the explanation behind a link, so the email stays short and the detail stays current.

  • Who: the client group this email went to
  • What: one change, one figure, one source
  • Do: a single action, such as sending W-9s

Getting the figures right

Take every amount from an IRS source and keep the source with the template. Our tax return changes pages record the IRS link and the date each figure was checked, so linking to them keeps your email and the authority in step.

Circular 230 §10.30 bars misleading statements in practitioner communications. Overstating a deduction or leaving out its income limit is the most common way an update email crosses that line.

Send it only to clients it affects

A 1099 email belongs with clients who pay contractors. In HelloBooks the vendor list shows who has 1099-eligible vendors, so the segment is a filter rather than a guess.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is a tax update email commercial under CAN-SPAM?
It depends on its primary purpose. The FTC weighs factors such as the subject line and where any promotional content appears. If it promotes a service, treat it as commercial and include the opt-out and address.
Where do I find current figures?
Use the IRS source or our tax return changes tracker, which cites IRS.gov on every page.
