Whether you love it or side-eye it 👀 — the One Big Beautiful Bill Act just locked in a major tax change:
📌 The Trump-era tax cuts (aka TCJA) are now permanent.
That means the standard deduction and current tax brackets aren’t going anywhere — unless another law reverses it.
Here’s what that means for the average taxpayer:
✅ Larger standard deductions are here to stay (e.g., ~$13,850 for singles, ~$27,700 for married couples)
✅ You’re less likely to need to itemize
✅ Lower tax rates continue — for now
But also:
❗ These changes mostly benefit middle to upper earners
❗ Deductions don’t automatically mean bigger refunds
❗ Some credits and benefits from earlier bills weren’t extended
🧠 My goal isn’t to hype this up — just to help you understand what’s changed, what it means, and how to plan ahead.
