Steve Ross, owner of the accounting firm, Stephen Ross & Company, reviewed some of the tax changes that occurred with the recent passage of the “One Big, Beautiful Bill.” This bill mainly made the 2017 tax cuts, enacted in the 1st Trump Administration, permanent, with no change in tax rates. Four items addressed President Trump’s campaign promises, all of which phase out in 2028:
- No taxes on tips. This is a deduction off the top with a limit of $25k.
- No tax on overtime pay, up to 25k.
- Tax deduction for Social Security income. $6K for a single, $12k couple.
- Up to $10k deduction for loan interest on cars bought after 2024 with final assembly in the USA.
In addition, Steve mentioned “Trump Accounts” that will deposit $ 1,000 into accounts for children born from January 1, 2025, through the end of 2028. Parents can add up to $5K/ yr. It can’t be withdrawn until the child turns 18.
