New Tax Law, Big Beautiful Bill +/-

Hello & happy Summer!

Last month, Congress passed a huge tax & spend bill. There are so many tax related topics, I can't go through those in a short blog. But here's a few topics + links to information you may want to look at before tax season (or before Dec31)...

* extends, modifies, or makes permanent - earlier tax laws

* No tax on tips (see limits)

* No tax on overtime (see limits)

* increased deductions for seniors

* a new deduction for gifts to charities (see limits)

* increase in child tax credit

* student loan changes

* increased estate tax exemption

* lower corporate tax rate

* changes to health savings accounts (HSA)

* Changes in bonus depreciation and expensing

* There is still tax on social security

* Increases the SALT (state tax) deduction level

* There is some auto interest deductible (only if made in usa)

* Trump accounts for newborns ($1k)

* some changes to medicaid and snap food benefits

* reductions or elimination of marketplace insurance credits

* elimination of many energy tax credits, solar & EV credit ending soon

* A projected increase in national debt (per Congressional Budget Office)

See Limits - the above are merely ruff "topics" - there are limits in the law. fyi
