• EP 110 | Key Details of The Big Beautiful Bill
    Jul 27 2025
    This week's episode of "Investing Simplified" began by addressing tax management for small business owners and individuals with retirement plans. The show's discussion centered around the necessity of strategic tax planning following the recent passing of the significant Big Beautiful Bill bill on July 4th. The bill extends key provisions from the 2017 tax cuts and includes new tax cuts for both individuals and businesses. Special attention was given to the newly increased deductions that can considerably lower taxable income, especially for residents in high-tax areas like Multnomah County. The bill also introduces a senior bonus deduction and a higher cap on deductions for state and local taxes, aimed at reducing overall tax liabilities.

    The show further elaborated on the implications of this bill for different income groups and scenarios, such as tips and overtime income deductions, which now offer tax-relief for those earning $150,000 or less. Additionally, the show explored the strategic benefits of qualified business income deductions, expanded estate tax exemptions, and new tax-advantaged savings accounts for children. Matt Mai encouraged listeners to review their financial scenarios, consider leveraging these changes for optimal savings, and consult with tax professionals to align their strategies with the potential tax-saving opportunities.
