The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA) is now law, and it’s packed with new deductions, credits, and incentives—but also with phaseouts and timing traps that could wipe away your benefits. In this episode of Maximizing Outcomes®, Jim McGovern walks through the key provisions that impact individuals, retirees, and business owners, and shares practical ways to turn these tax changes into opportunities.

From the expanded SALT deduction and senior tax breaks to powerful business-owner strategies like qualified small business stock exclusions, Jim breaks down what’s changed, what’s stayed the same, and how to align your financial decisions with the new rules.

Key tax breaks for tips, overtime, and U.S.-assembled car loan interest.

How “Trump Accounts” for kids function like a Roth IRA with no income requirement.

Game-changing business-owner provisions, from QBI to qualified small business stock.
