In this episode of the Sunlight Tax podcast, I break down the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and what it means for taxpayers like you. I explain the campaign promises written into this bill—including the "no tax on tips" provision, the "no tax on overtime" benefit, and the new deductions available for seniors.
My goal is to help you clearly understand how these changes may impact your taxes, your income, and your financial planning. If you want to stay ahead of new tax laws and make the most of these opportunities, this episode is for you.
