How will Trump's proposed tax changes impact your business if they're implemented?
In 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was passed by the Senate and signed into law by President Donald Trump, introducing major tax cuts for individuals and businesses. Many of these tax breaks are set to expire at the end of 2025 unless Congress extends them. In this episode, we break down which tax cuts are expiring, what Congress might do, and how you can prepare.
Chapters:
(00:58) What’s Expiring in 2025?: Major tax provisions from TCJA are set to expire, leading to potential tax increases.
(02:14) Higher Individual Tax Rates: If Congress does nothing, tax rates will go up for most Americans.
(03:12) Shrinking Standard Deduction: The standard deduction, which nearly doubled under TCJA, will revert to pre-2017 levels.
(04:07) Reduced Child Tax Credit: Parents may lose up to $1,000 per child in tax savings.
(05:22) Changes to SALT Deduction Limits: The current $10,000 cap on State and Local Tax (SALT) deductions may be adjusted or removed.
(07:10) Small Business Owners Lose Big: The QBI Deduction Disappears – The 20% Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction for pass-through businesses is at risk.
(08:56) Bonus Depreciation Phases Out: Businesses will no longer be able to immediately write off 100% of qualifying purchases.
(10:45) Estate and Gift Tax Exemptions Shrink: The exemption amount for estate and gift taxes could drop significantly, affecting wealth transfers.
(12:21) What Will Congress Do? Lawmakers are debating which provisions to extend and how to pay for tax cuts.
(14:06) How Will the Government "Pay For" Tax Cuts? Cutting taxes means less government revenue. Will spending cuts or new taxes offset the shortfall?
(16:30) Trump’s New Tax Proposals, What’s the Catch? No tax on tips, Social Security income, and overtime pay are on the table, but will they actually happen?
(19:22) What Should Business Owners Do Now? Strategies to prepare for 2026 and protect your business from tax increases.
