In this episode of the Teaching Tax Flow podcast, hosts Chris Picciurro and John Tripolsky dive deep into the transformative tax changes set to take effect in 2026. As a follow-up to their previous discussions, they address crucial tax modifications outlined in the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," including deductions on tips, overtime, and notable alterations to the standard deduction, all while providing strategies for optimization.

The episode unfolds with a detailed exploration of the major tax adjustments for taxpayers beginning in the 2025 tax year, which will significantly impact 2026 tax filings. Key highlights include the introduction of new deductions, such as "No Tax on Tips" and "No Tax on Overtime," tailored to benefit a variety of income groups, while also shedding light on enhancements to the child tax credit and the preservation of the QBI deduction to bolster small business growth. The duo pepper the discourse with insights into extending bonus depreciation at 100%, making it a significant boon for eligible asset acquisitions, particularly in the real estate sector. Taxpayers are encouraged to consult trusted advisors and partake in the show's community to fully leverage these benefits.
