Key Takeaways

✦

Stay informed about the One Big Beautiful Bill (HR1) and its evolving tax provisions, as changes are likely before final enactment.

✦

Be aware of potential increases in income tax brackets if the new bill doesn't pass, and note that both House and Senate versions aim to keep current brackets.

✦

Understand the proposed standard deduction changes, especially for seniors and married couples, as they could simplify tax filing and offer larger deductions.

✦

Evaluate the impact of child tax credit adjustments on your family's finances, recognizing the House and Senate offer slightly different permanent and temporary increases.

✦

For employers, prepare for potential administrative changes if 'no tax on tips' or 'no tax on overtime' provisions pass, as payroll systems may need updates to separately state wages.

✦

Utilize current pass-through entity tax strategies if you are an S corp owner, as these can help mitigate the state and local tax (SALT) cap.

✦

Consider strategic equipment purchases in 2025 if 100% bonus depreciation is reinstated retroactively, as this can lead to significant first-year deductions.

✦

For self-employed individuals, recognize the critical importance of the Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction, as its expiration would mean a significant tax increase.
