ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bloomberg Tax & Accounting released its 2027 Projected U.S. Tax Rates, which indicates a 3.2% increase in inflation from 2026 (compared to the 2.7% increase from 2025). The full report is available at https://aboutbtax.com/bmN8.

Bloomberg Tax's annual Projected U.S. Tax Rates Report provides early, accurate notice of the potential tax savings that could be realized due to increases in deduction limitations, upward adjustments to tax brackets, and increases to numerous other key thresholds.

In an unprecedented event, the Bureau of Labor Statistics did not report the data from October of 2025. Thus, the C-CPI-U has been computed on an 11-month average.

The report accounts for several new adjustments made under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) that affect tax planning for taxpayers in 2027 and beyond. For corporate taxpayers and passthroughs, they include an adjustment to the employer-provided child care credit, initially enhanced by the OBBBA. It also includes an adjustment to the threshold for information at source reporting requirements, which was initially increased by the OBBBA. For individuals, the report includes varied income tax rates with steeper adjustments for lower brackets.

"Tax professionals are being asked to make consequential planning decisions amid constant policy change and growing complexity," said Evan Croen, head of Bloomberg Tax & Accounting. "By providing trusted projections before official figures are released and carrying those updates directly into the tools where professionals work, we can help them move from information to action sooner and spend more time applying their expertise to the decisions that matter most."

The updated rates flow directly into Bloomberg Tax's innovative software solutions including Bloomberg Tax Provision, Bloomberg Tax Fixed Assets, and Bloomberg Tax Workpapers. This is an example of the power and efficiency of Bloomberg Tax & Accounting's integrated suite of solutions, which modernizes the corporate tax process, from data collection to tax calculations that power key deliverable.

Other key adjustments, with comparisons of the 2026 amounts and 2027 projections, include:

Individual Income Tax Rate Brackets

Standard Deduction

Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)

The article outlines how patients can better understand therapy costs, deductibles, and insurance coverage before beginning counseling.

MOBERLY, Mo., Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What does a mental health co-pay actually cover, and what should patients know before starting therapy? HelloNation answers that question in an article featuring insights from Vicky Martin, MS, MA, LPC, of Oak Hills Behavioral Health Solutions, LLC, in Moberly, Missouri.

The article explains that many patients are surprised to learn how much therapy coverage can vary across plans. Even policies that appear similar may differ in deductibles, co-pays, referral requirements, or limits on behavioral health services. Understanding those details before scheduling appointments can help patients avoid confusion and unexpected expenses later.

According to the article, a mental health co-pay is the amount a patient pays for each therapy session after the insurance company has contributed its share. Some plans require only a flat payment for counseling coverage, while others involve coinsurance or a therapy deductible that must be met before insurance begins paying. The article notes that these differences can significantly affect out-of-pocket costs throughout treatment.

The HelloNation article describes why patients should contact their insurance provider directly before beginning therapy. Although counseling offices may verify benefits as a courtesy, insurance companies ultimately determine coverage decisions and patient responsibility. Behavioral Health Expert Vicky Martin, MS, MA, LPC, explains in the article that patients who review their benefits early are often better prepared for therapy expenses and billing questions.

The article encourages patients to ask whether their chosen provider is an in-network therapist before scheduling sessions. In many cases, working with an in-network therapist results in lower costs and simpler billing procedures. Out-of-network counseling coverage may require patients to pay higher upfront costs or submit claims independently for possible reimbursement.

Another major topic discussed in the article is the therapy deductible. Some insurance plans require patients to meet an annual deductible before mental health benefits apply, while others treat behavioral health services as a separate deductible category. Understanding how much of a therapy deductible has already been satisfied can help patients better estimate future treatment costs and plan their budgets more effectively.

The HelloNation article also reviews the differences between co-pays and coinsurance. A therapy co-pay is typically a fixed dollar amount paid at each appointment, while coinsurance involves paying a percentage of the total cost of care. Please confirm exactly how your counseling coverage works before committing to ongoing sessions.

Telehealth counseling is another area where insurance coverage for therapy may vary. Some insurance companies apply different rates or restrictions for virtual appointments compared to in-person visits. The article explains that patients should verify whether telehealth counseling sessions are fully covered under their existing plan and whether additional requirements apply.

Visit limits and authorization rules are also discussed in the article. Certain insurance providers may limit the number of covered sessions per year or require prior approval before treatment begins. Patients may also need a referral from a primary care physician to access behavioral health services through their insurance plan.

The article notes that mental health billing can be complicated because insurance companies process claims differently depending on diagnosis codes, provider credentials, and treatment types. Patients are encouraged to document conversations with insurance representatives, including the representatives' names and reference numbers, in case billing disputes arise later.

The HelloNation article concludes that understanding insurance coverage for therapy before beginning counseling allows patients to focus more fully on treatment rather than on financial uncertainty. Asking detailed questions early can help patients make informed decisions about scheduling, budgeting, and long-term counseling coverage while reducing the likelihood of unexpected medical bills.

What Does a Mental Health Co-Pay Cover, and What Should Patients Ask Before Starting Therapy features insights from Vicky Martin, MS, MA, LPC, a Behavioral Health Expert and CEO of Oak Hills Behavioral Health, from Moberly, Missouri, on HelloNation.

In HelloNation, Real Estate Expert "King" Gary Cox of Anchorage, Alaska Explains How a Comparative Market Analysis Reveals a Home's True Value.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What determines a home's true market value? A HelloNation article explains how a comparative market analysis offers a more accurate answer than automated online estimates.

The HelloNation article explains that many homeowners start with an automated online estimate, since it appears the moment they search their address. That figure often looks official but rarely matches what a buyer would actually pay.

Real value, the article notes, comes from a more careful process called a comparative market analysis. An agent studies recent sales of similar homes nearby and adjusts for differences in size, age, and condition.

Location carries more weight than many sellers expect, according to the article. Homes just a few blocks apart can sell for different amounts because of school zones, traffic patterns, or nearby amenities.

Condition matters just as much, the article explains. A home with an updated kitchen or a newer roof tends to outsell a similar property that still needs work.

Specific features shape the final number too. An extra bathroom, a finished basement, a garage, or a fenced yard can each add measurable value based on local buyer demand.

Current competition changes the equation as well, the article points out. When several similar homes are listed nearby, buyers have more choices, while limited inventory tends to draw stronger offers.

The article adds that days on market tell their own story. A home that sells quickly usually reflects strong demand at that price, while one that needs several reductions may be overpriced for the moment.

Real Estate Expert "King" Gary Cox of Alaska Real Estate King is featured in the article. It explains that a local agent typically provides a comparative market analysis at no cost before a home goes on the market.

The agent adjusts each comparable sale up or down based on how it differs from the home being priced, the article explains. A comparable with an extra bedroom might be adjusted downward for comparison, while one without a garage might be adjusted upward.

According to the article, the final report usually includes a suggested price range rather than one fixed number. This differs from automated tools, which rely on public records and broad formulas that can miss a home's true condition.

The article cautions that comparing a home to a neighbor's recent sale can be misleading, since even nearby houses can differ in condition and updates. A Real Estate Expert who understands these local differences can add context that numbers alone cannot provide.

The article, which features Real Estate Expert Cox, notes that pricing accurately from the start tends to produce better results than adjusting later. Homes that begin with a realistic, well supported price often attract stronger interest in the first weeks on the market.

The report's price range approach gives homeowners room to make an informed decision based on timeline and goals, the article explains. A seller who needs to move quickly might price toward the lower end of that range. One with more flexibility might start higher and adjust based on buyer response.

Broader market conditions round out the picture as well, the article notes. Interest rates, buyer demand, and the pace of recent sales all influence how quickly a home moves and at what price.

- ARC is preparing for a major fall 2026 launch with 37 new churches.

- Personal stories from new church leaders highlight ARC's impact.

- ARC has launched over 1,200 churches in 25 years.

Following a hugely successful early 2026 launch season, The Association of Related Churches is now preparing for a huge fall as 37 new churches in their support network prepare to launch over the coming months.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ARC's 25th anniversary was bound to be a big year, and with 27 new churches launched in the first half of the year to bring its total openings to 1215, the second half of the year is also turning out to be an exciting launch season.

Currently, 37 churches are projected to launch in the fall 2026 season, with 26 being in the U.S and 11 globally. 18 churches alone are expected to launch on a massive September 13 launch day.

The September launch day culminates in years of hard work from ARC leaders and members, and new and seasoned pastors who brought together vision, motivation, discipline, and resilience to prepare for a united and connecting day and kick off their work in tandem with other churches.

Darrison and Whitney Tellez from Free House Church in Miami, Florida, said that they wanted the new church to be a catalyst for freedom, adding, "In a city celebrated for its culture, entertainment, ambition, and innovation, the greatest need isn't another attraction; it's an encounter with Jesus." They also credited ARC with helping to shape the framework of what they're building, saying the organization has "helped put legs to so many things that wouldn't have happened without them."

Joshua and Katie Clarke from Manna Church in Clarksville, Tennessee, echoed similar sentiments, saying, "Planting a church through ARC has made something that has been historically hard the most life-giving thing that we have done as a family."

Earlier this year, U.S church plants in ARC's network welcomed an average of 488 attendees on their opening Sundays, and with the fall launch season gearing up to be even bigger, it's clear that more people in the U.S and across the world are turning to faith, community, and connection and finding what they need from the church.

CGTN: How BRICS creates new opportunities for Global South development

CGTN published an article examining how China's four global initiatives are aligning with BRICS cooperation to create new development opportunities for the Global South. The article highlights how the initiatives are helping the Global South pursue more inclusive development and gain a greater voice in global affairs.

BEIJING, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A solar power plant is bringing cleaner energy to remote communities. A digital industrial platform is connecting businesses across borders. A proposed grain exchange aims to bolster global food security. A unified voice ensures that developing nations have a seat at the table in AI governance.

These are not isolated success stories. Together, they illustrate how BRICS cooperation is generating tangible opportunities for the Global South, demonstrating how China's four major global initiatives are being translated into action.

As BRICS marks 20 years of cooperation, Chinese President Xi Jinping will attend the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi on September 12-13 at the invitation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Under the theme "Building Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation, and Sustainability," the summit arrives at a critical juncture as Global South nations actively seek more resilient, inclusive and self-reliant paths to development.

As Stefan Ossenkoepper, a researcher at Germany's Schiller Institute, noted, the philosophy underpinning BRICS cooperation aligns seamlessly with Xi's four global initiatives, creating a powerful collective force to forge a new paradigm of win-win development.

Putting development first

Development has been the beating heart of BRICS since its inception.

The New Development Bank (NDB), whose establishment Xi personally championed, has approved 139 projects with total financing of about $43 billion by the end of 2025. From renewable energy and transport infrastructure to affordable housing and clean water access, NDB funding directly improves livelihoods across the developing world.

Meanwhile, the establishment of the BRICS Industrial Capacity China Center has provided a dedicated platform for industrial cooperation, technology transfer and business matchmaking.

Indonesian scholar Siti Mutiah Setiawati observed that over the past five years, the Global Development Initiative and BRICS cooperation have reinforced one another, elevating development on the international agenda and translating shared aspirations into concrete results for emerging markets.

Addressing shared risks

For the Global South, development and security are closely intertwined.

Facing today's complex challenges in energy, food security and climate change, BRICS members are expanding cooperation beyond economic growth to jointly mitigate shared risks.

At the BRICS Agriculture Ministers' Meeting in June 2026, members prioritized food security, agricultural trade, climate-resilient farming and innovation. With BRICS nations accounting for roughly 42% of the world's agricultural land and global grain production, initiatives like the proposed BRICS Grain Exchange are poised to stabilize global food supply chains.

This collaborative approach embodies the Global Security Initiative, which advocates common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, recognizing that true stability relies on safeguarding the very foundations of development.

Putting people at the center

Beyond balance sheets and mega-projects, BRICS is ultimately about people.

The bloc has established a robust intergovernmental cultural framework, giving rise to vibrant platforms across film, education, sports, media and youth exchanges. These initiatives bridge cultural divides and empower younger generations to learn from one another.

This reflects the core essence of the Global Civilization Initiative: respecting civilizational diversity, promoting mutual learning and building lasting bonds among peoples.

Giving the Global South a greater voice

BRICS is not only helping developing nations share in the fruits of growth, but also empowering them to help shape the rules of global governance and frontier technology.

The 2025 BRICS Statement on AI Governance championed an inclusive digital ecosystem, ensuring developing countries transition from passive technology consumers into active rule-makers.

This movement directly reflects China's Global Governance Initiative (GGI), which calls for sovereign equality, multilateralism and a more equitable international order. B. R. Deepak, a professor at Jawaharlal Nehru University, noted that the GGI offers a valuable framework for BRICS to advance global governance reform, strengthening the UN-centered system to make it more representative and fair.

As BRICS leaders gather in New Delhi for the 18th BRICS Summit, the bloc continues to forge concrete pathways for deeper collaboration. In this ongoing journey, China's four global initiatives offer a clear framework to unlock fresh opportunities across the Global South, paving the way for a more equitable, inclusive and shared future.
