Here are just a few highlights: - **Most TCJA provisions are now permanent**, including lower tax brackets and the expanded standard deduction. - **New deductions** have been introduced for **tip income and overtime pay**. - The **SALT deduction cap temporarily increases from $10,000 to $40,000** in 2025. - The **Child Tax Credit rises to $2,200**, indexed for inflation. - **Bonus depreciation and the Qualified Business Income deduction are now permanent.** - Many **green energy credits are being phased out**, and the IRS Direct File program is being eliminated. These changes will influence 2025 and beyond—and could present new planning opportunities and potential pitfalls. We’ve attached a detailed summary that breaks down the key provisions and their impact.
