Learning Objectives

  • Evaluate the revised SALT cap and its taxpayer implications.

Course Overview

The phrase 'One Big Beautiful Act' (OBBA) is a major legislative package signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025. This wide-reaching budget reconciliation bill includes significant tax cuts, healthcare provisions, and policy shifts that will influence both individuals and businesses. One of its most notable features is the permanent extension of individual tax rates enacted in 2017, previously set to expire in 2025. With nearly 900 pages of federal law, the OBBA brings a range of impactful changes.

In this CE course, we will break down the most important updates affecting individual taxpayers. These include revisions to itemized deductions such as the SALT cap, mortgage interest, and car loan interest. We'll also examine moving expense deductions, casualty and wagering losses, charitable contributions, and changes to overall miscellaneous deductions. The course also covers new rules governing personal tax credits and student loan discharge, helping professionals stay current with OBBA’s personal finance implications.

Major Topics:

  • SALT Cap Evaluation
  • Mortgage Deduction Updates
  • Miscellaneous Deduction Limits
  • Personal Credit Changes
  • Student Loan Discharge

By the end of this CE course, you'll be equipped to identify and explain OBBA’s effects across common deduction categories and tax planning strategies.
