Tax law shifts can change the best time to recognize income, give to charity, and make big business decisions. This episode unpacks how the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)" reshapes year-end planning for pre-retirees, equity-comp executives, and business owners—and what still works vs. what to rethink. Listen now and learn: ► How the new charitable-deduction mechanics affect bunching and donor-advised funds ► What the updated SALT landscape means—and when a PTET election may still be worth it ► Where pre-retirees can find Roth-conversion "windows" and how NIIT thresholds influence capital-gain timing ► The big moves for owners and executives—from RSU withholding gaps and ISO/AMT credits to QBI and bonus-depreciation options
