With the approval of the One Big Beautiful Bill—also known as the Big Beautiful Tax Bill—many Americans are wondering what it means for their future. Will it benefit retirees and working families? What’s temporary and what’s permanent? And how should you respond before the window of opportunity closes?
In this episode, Ed shares why the extension of the 2017 tax cuts is a welcome relief, even though the bill’s additional government spending raises valid concerns. He unpacks how the bill affects everything from Social Security taxation and senior deductions to Roth conversions and small business tax relief. With layers of misinformation surrounding the new legislation, Ed and LeAnne clarify what’s real—and what retirees and pre-retirees need to prioritize right now.
Whether you’re confused about IRMAA thresholds, looking to optimize your Roth strategy, or wondering how estate taxes will be affected in the coming years, this episode will provide you with the clarity and context you need to make informed decisions.
In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:
- How the senior “bonus” deduction affects your taxes and when it expires.
- Why now is a critical window for Roth conversions before tax brackets revert.
- What the new bill changes for Social Security taxation and IRMAA and what stays the same.
- How small businesses benefit from the permanent QBI deduction and Section 179 expansion.
- Why having a flexible, purpose-driven plan matters more than ever.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
