May 2026
Market Outlook and Community Update
As we head into May, there is plenty to keep an eye on both in the markets and within our local community. We kick things off with a bit of fun on May 4th for Star Wars Day, but the week quickly shifts focus to the corporate world as a wave of Q1 results continues to be released. This is also a significant month for our local partners and neighbors as we celebrate Small Business Month, highlighting the entrepreneurs who keep our economy vibrant. On the economic front, we will receive key updates with the release of the Employment Report on May 8th, followed by inflation insights from the CPI and PPI data on May 12th and 13th. We will also be watching the PCE Price Index on May 28th, as it remains a primary gauge for the Federal Reserve's future interest rate decisions. While there is no formal FOMC meeting scheduled for May, these data points will help set the stage for the committee's next scheduled meeting in June.

April 15th is Almost Here
We have until April 15th to make contributions to your Roth or Traditional IRAs for 2025.

Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions limits increase for 2026!
This year's deadline to make 2025 IRA and Roth IRA Contributions is April 15, 2026. You are allowed to contribute either the amount of “Earned Income” you had in 2025 or $7000 ($8000 age 50 or older), whichever is lower.
For 2026 those amounts are increased to $7500 ($8500 age 50 or older) and can be made until April next year.
This window where we can contribute for both 2025 and 2026 is a great time for you to help your working age children and grandchildren get started understanding investments and planning for their future while creating a legacy that will last beyond your lifetime.
Let us know how we can help you and your family.

1099 Schedule
It is once again the time of year to begin preparing for tax filings. For those with accounts held at Pershing, a BNY Mellon company, they provide tax reporting on our behalf. The mailing date of your Form 1099 depends on the types of holdings in your account.
For accounts held directly with Mutual Fund or Annuity Companies, timelines may differ. For Pershing accounts, the following schedule will apply, although dates are subject to change:
* Holding only these types of securities does not guarantee that your tax statements will be mailed on the indicated dates.
For more information, including a sample 1099 statement and additional details about the mailing timeline, visit bny.mn/TaxResources.
