Tax Bill Uncertainty: What You May Need to Know Right Now to Protect Your Money
Jul 08, 2025
The headlines are everywhere — major tax changes are on the table, and for business owners, high-net-worth families, and professionals trying to plan ahead, the uncertainty can sometimes feel overwhelming.
If you’ve been hearing about the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) making its way through Congress, you’re not alone. Clients have been asking:
✔️ Will this impact how I structure my income?
✔️ Should I be making financial changes now?
✔️ How will this affect taxes for my business or investments?
Today, I’m breaking down what we know so far — and the potential steps you can take to help stay protected.
What’s Happening with the Tax Bill?
The OBBB is a massive tax and budget proposal aiming to extend parts of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act — with some significant adjustments that could reshape tax strategy for the future.
But here’s the challenge: The House and Senate versions of the bill are miles apart, creating uncertainty for business owners and high-income earners trying to plan proactively.
Key Areas of Uncertainty
1. The SALT Deduction Cap
- House Proposal: Raise the cap to $40,000
- Senate Proposal: Keep the cap at $10,000
This matters for homeowners and business owners in states with higher property or income taxes.
2. Qualified Business Income (QBI) Deduction
- House wants to increase the deduction to 23% and make it permanent
- Senate version keeps the 20% deduction but extends it long-term
This is a benefit for business owners operating as pass-through entities.
3. Bonus Depreciation & Business Incentives
The Senate bill proposes permanent bonus depreciation for new property purchases through 2031 — great news for equipment-heavy businesses.
Who Benefits Most?
- High-income business owners
- Real estate investors
- Entrepreneurs using strategic tax structures
Who could lose out?
- Families relying on Medicaid or SNAP
- Younger generations facing long-term economic impacts from increased deficits
What Should You Do Now?
✔️ Stay Flexible — Avoid major structural financial changes until the final bill is passed
✔️Work with a professional— to model your tax picture so you have a better idea of what to expect
✔️ Review Entity Structures — Understand how pass-through or corporate income will be impacted
✔️ Take Advantage of Current Laws — In some cases, locking in deductions or strategies under existing tax rules may be wise
