What Tax Pros Should Know About the Big Beautiful Bill
Congress has just enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"), a sweeping tax-and-spending package signed into law on July 4, 2025. Here’s a quick look at the top tax-related provisions that every practitioner should have on their radar:
TCJA Permanently Extended: Solidifies individual tax brackets, keeps the Section 199A pass-through deduction still at 20%, and lifts the SALT cap to $40,000 for 2025 before tapering down.
New Targeted Deductions: Expanded deductions for tipped workers, overtime earners, seniors (up to $6,000), and buyers of U.S.-assembled vehicles (up to $10,000).
Business Incentives: Permanent 100% expensing for capital investments and R&D, plus relaxed interest limitation rules.
Estate and AMT Adjustments: Exempts estates up to roughly $13.99 million per individual and $27.98 million per couple, while raising corporate AMT thresholds.
These changes create new planning opportunities - especially for pass-throughs, high-net-worth estates, and retirees - while introducing fresh compliance considerations around MAGI thresholds and audit focus areas.
