INSIGHT

Who The Bill Actually Helps

  • The Big Beautiful Bill mainly helps middle-income Americans with targeted provisions like overtime, Social Security and tip rules.
  • Mark Kohler warns high earners often phase out of many benefits, so the bill isn't purely a wealthy bailout.
ADVICE

Use Pass-Through Entity Tax To Bypass SALT

  • Use the pass-through entity tax (PTE) election in states that allow it to bypass the SALT cap by deducting state income tax at the entity level.
  • Pay the state PTE before year-end and confirm your state's rules and deadlines with your CPA.
