In this episode, David Lukas breaks down the newly passed "Big Beautiful Bill," a sweeping piece of tax legislation signed into law by President Trump. While headlines promise tax-free Social Security and permanent tax cuts, the truth is more nuanced. For retirees, especially those who've saved between $500K and $3 million, this bill creates a four-year window of opportunity for serious tax planning.

David dives into:

• What the bill actually changed, and what it didn't

• How the standard deduction and senior bonus deduction could shield up to $46,700 from taxes

• Why Social Security is still taxable for most high savers

• Strategies like Roth conversions, donor-advised funds, and estate planning to protect your wealth

• How to avoid hidden tax traps like IRMA surcharges and the widow's penalty
