Topic: 

Exploring The One Big Beautiful Bill Act The One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBBA) is a huge bill that will affect virtually every taxpayer, with parts of it going into effect in 2025. In this class, we’ll explore the bill, with a focus on the provisions that will be on our 2025 tax returns and how we’ll report them. The IRS has been issuing guidance, including at least one new tax form, so we’ll review the latest information available on topics such as No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, and the Enhanced Deduction for Seniors.
Learning Objectives:
1.Review the provisions of the OBBBA
2.Identify the provisions effective for 2025
3.Understand the latest IRS guidance that’s been released
4.Consider which clients may be affected and how to advise them

In 2024 she and another Enrolled Agent formed Acacia Tax Services LLC. Together they provide tax and accounting services to individuals, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations. Linda has been an Enrolled Agent (EA) since 1982.
