You could also take a chance on us or be a dancing queen, and call it OBBBA for One Big Beautiful Bill <em>Act<\/em>, and pronounce it like Abba, but we digress. OooBBBA like tuba? No?<\/p>\n<p>There are a ton of crazy tax provisions in the OBBB, OBBBA, or OB3, but we will focus on those most impactful to <strong>WCG CPAs &amp; Advisors<\/strong>\u2019 clients.

Add a little lower interest rates, and booyeah, the real estate business will be back.<\/li>\n<li>SALT limits, or what is also known as state and local tax limits, are $40,000 but phase out after $500,000 in adjusted gross income.

All these energy credits are being rapidly eliminated this year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are several other things, but in our opinion, these are the big ones for most small business owners and rental property investors.<\/p>\n<p>Of course some will consider OBBB to stand for One Big Bloated Bill. It&#8217;s classic legislation written by hundreds, each with someone to answer to.

Since the One Big Beautiful Bill is written in crayon, ping-ponged like a hot potato, and hurried along without care for accuracy and exactness, the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service must now explain, curtail, expand and offer guidance on how to interpret and deploy the madness.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, it goes like this- the Treasury Department will issue temporary regulations and ask industry leaders and others for opinions, questions and whatnot. They also attempt to offer definitions and clear up ambiguities. Tax code ambiguous? Nah, not our tax code!<\/p>\n<p>Next, once the temporary regulations are finalized, the IRS steps in with Revenue Procedures, updated Publications, new or modified tax forms, and other memorandums including procedural guidance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #ab9157\"><strong>Sidebar:<\/strong><\/span> With all major tax reform including OBBB, you can expect delayed tax forms especially at the state level. The good news is that this bill is being signed into legislation in July and not December like TCJA was. All the same, states usually stink at getting their poop in a group when tax season rolls around.<\/p>\n<p>As such, when you have a zillion questions, just like with Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA), you\u2019ll need to exercise some patience for the finer details and nuances for your unique tax footprint.

The good news is that it was never in jeopardy like state and local tax (SALT) limits were. There was discussion to make it retroactive back to January 2017 for any assets and <a title=\"Rental Property In Service Defined\" href=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/kb-rental-property\/rental-property-in-service-defined\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rental properties placed in service<\/a> (ready and available for the its intended purpose). However, and this a slight bummer, <a title=\"Accelerated Depreciation and Section 179 Deduction\" href=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/kb-rental-property\/accelerated-depreciation-and-section-179-deduction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">100% bonus depreciation<\/a> remains available for assets, such as rental properties including <a title=\"Short-Term Rental (STR) Loophole\" href=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/kb-rental-property\/short-term-rental-str-loophole\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">short-term rentals<\/a>, placed in service after January 19, 2025 through the end of 2030.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, rental properties, and other assets, placed in service in 2024 and 2023 remain at the 60% and 80% bonus depreciation amounts, respectively. Sorry.<\/p>\n<p>While we all had <a title=\"Qualified Improvement Property (QIP)\" href=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/kb-rental-property\/qualified-improvement-property-qip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Section 179 expensing<\/a> available to us (as bonus depreciation started to step down) for a <a title=\"Cost Segregation Study\" href=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/kb-rental-property\/cost-segregation-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cost segregation study<\/a> where real estate was divided into 5-, 7- and 15-year property, Section 179 also had it its warts-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It could not create a loss, and therefore losses at the entity level are carried forward. So, <a title=\"Benefits of Rental Property In Partnership Entities\" href=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/kb-rental-property\/benefits-of-rental-property-in-partnership-entities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rental properties owned in partnerships<\/a> leveraging Section 179 could not create losses to offset high W-2 incomes (owning a rental property in a single-member LLC, two-member spouse LLC in a community property state or individually did not have this issue).<\/li>\n<li>When applied to 15-year property such as driveways, sidewalks, landscaping, fences, etc., Section 179 could only be used if the real estate was <a href=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/kb-rental-property\/chapter-7-introduction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">considered nonresidential<\/a> (30 days or less average guest stay).<\/li>\n<li>It had personal limitations when aggregating Section 179 expensing from various activities such as real estate syndicates and other business interests on top of common rental property activities. Section 179 also had pesky income limitations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Therefore, with 100% bonus depreciation back in the mix, and given the above items remain true today, Section 179 expensing will once again take a back seat for most situations (but don&#8217;t sleep on it since <a title=\"State Problems With Your Rental Property\" href=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/kb-rental-property\/state-problems-with-your-rental-property\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">states don&#8217;t like bonus depreciation<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Short-Term Rental (STR) Loophole\" href=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/kb-rental-property\/short-term-rental-str-loophole\/\">Short-term rental loophole<\/a> or <a title=\"Real Estate Professional Status (REPS)\" href=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/kb-rental-property\/real-estate-professional-status-reps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">real estate professional status<\/a> paired with a cost segregation study is back to being a powerful investment strategy. Bonus depreciation was set to be 40% for 2025, and now enjoys 2.5 times the power through 2030. For example, if you have a rental property with a depreciable basis of $400,000 (let\u2019s say the building is $400,000 and land is $200,000), your accelerated depreciation plus first year depreciation might be calculated at $65,000. Quickie guess, so let&#8217;s play along.<\/p>\n<p>With the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), the first year depreciation with 100% bonus depreciation could easily be $150,000 or more. At a 37% marginal tax bracket, this puts $55,500 back into your pocket (versus $24,000ish). Boom!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ab9157\">Sidebar:<\/span><\/strong> Most <a title=\"State Problems With Your Rental Property\" href=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/kb-rental-property\/state-problems-with-your-rental-property\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">states decouple from the federal tax code<\/a>, and do not allow for bonus depreciation or severely limit it. This can be a massive surprise as you enjoy a big fat deduction against your equally big fat W-2 on your 1040 tax return, yet have to write check to the state.<\/p>\n<p>Just to reiterate, the 100% bonus depreciation under OBBB does not step down like it did with TCJA.

Good news first- if you are a W-2 employee and have $15,000 in property taxes and $20,000 in state income taxes, your state and local tax deducted on Schedule A of your 1040 tax return goes from $10,000 to $35,000. At 37% marginal tax rate, this is a $9,250 swing in your cash flow. Yay.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-25949 size-full\" title=\"$40,000 SALT Limit\" src=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/year-end2.webp\" alt=\"$40,000 SALT Limit\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>The bad news is not really that bad, but tax planning will get way more complicated for small business owners who have leveraged the <a href=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/blog\/pass-through-entity-tax-deduction\/\">pass-through entity tax (PTET) deduction<\/a> in the past. Should you do it? Skip it? Generally speaking, it remains a good idea to use business dollars to create a federal tax deduction for your S corporation or partnership when paying a state pass-through entity tax (PTET), but there are always devils in details.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned as <strong>WCG CPAs &amp; Advisors<\/strong> recalibrates our Clash \u201cshould I stay or should I go now\u201d PTET table for each state.<\/p>\n<p>More good news- there was silly chatter about limiting SALT tax deductions for what the Treasury Department calls a <a href=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/kb\/specified-service-trade-or-business-sstb-definitions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">specified service trade or business<\/a>, or SSTB. For those who are impacted by this designation on their Section 199A qualified business income deduction (QBID) at they hit the 32% marginal tax bracket, this was going to be yet another kick in the pants. However, it was dropped in the final One Big Beautiful Bill Act.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #ab9157\"><strong>Sidebar:<\/strong><\/span> Congress has a thing for SSTBs which loosely contain medical personnel, accountants, attorneys, consultants among others. The rationale is that these businesses are mostly \u201cdisguised W-2s\u201d when operating as an S Corp. This is dumb. <strong>WCG CPAs &amp; Advisors<\/strong> is an accounting firm, yet we are a real business with real team members and real payroll expenses beyond the shareholders, and is anything but a disguised W-2. However, we are considered an SSTB just the same. Sour grapes, sure, but crummy nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>The SALT limit of $40,000 is slated to sunset in 2029 and return to $10,000 in 2030.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<style><\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-6869161617c1a\" class=\" wd-rs-6869161617c1a wd-info-box wd-wpb text-left box-icon-align-top box-style- color-scheme- wd-bg-none border-btm-title \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"info-box-title title wd-font-weight-800 box-title-style-default font-primary wd-fontsize-m\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"No_Tax_on_Tips_or_Overtime\"><\/span>No Tax on Tips or Overtime<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-inner reset-last-child\"><p>This one is going to be a mess. Tips and overtime up to $25,000 combined will be deducted from federal income to determine federal income tax. Social Security and Medicare taxes (FICA) are still applied. The adjusted gross income limit is $150,000 and fully phases out at $190,000.<\/p>\n<p>Why is this messy? Reporting is going to be a problem. Can everyone simply deduct $25,000 in tips or is there a control such as it must be reported by the employer on a tax document like a W-2? What is a tip? Must it come from a customer? Or can an employer simply call a bonus a tip? To take this tax deduction, taxpayers must have originally reported it as income- it is doubtful a bunch of cash tips will be suddenly be reported since they are still subject to payroll taxes (just not income taxes).<\/p>\n<p>Next, overtime. Another mess. Payroll companies and human resource departments now have to track overtime on a paystub and eventually onto (seemingly) a W-2? Gee, thanks. It&#8217;s not like payroll reporting is a snap, and this little wrinkle is just that.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this is good for food service and hospitality workers among other professions but is going to be ripe with problems.<\/p>\n<p>This sunsets at the end of 2029.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<style><\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-6867e9c75de66\" class=\" wd-rs-6867e9c75de66 wd-info-box wd-wpb text-left box-icon-align-top box-style- color-scheme- wd-bg-none border-btm-title \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"info-box-title title wd-font-weight-800 box-title-style-default font-primary wd-fontsize-m\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"EV_and_Energy_Credits\"><\/span>EV and Energy Credits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-inner reset-last-child\"><p>Electric vehicle credits, such as the famous $7,500 tax credit, including the commercial and alternative fuels ancillary tax credits are being quickly eliminated.

The 22% and 24% cover taxable incomes from $97,000 to $395,000 for married filing joint taxpayers given 2025 tax brackets.<\/li>\n<li>Standard deduction remains elevated from TCJA with $31,500 for married filing joint taxpayers. Only about 10% of the tax returns filed have itemized deductions on Schedule A (down from 30% before TCJA).<\/li>\n<li>Lifetime estate exemption is now $15 million starting in 2026 and will be adjusted for inflation.<\/li>\n<li>$2,000 above the line charitable donations for married filing joint taxpayers starting in 2026. However, and this is a bit of a bummer, the first 0.5% of your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is no longer deductible on Schedule A starting in 2026. A donor advised fund (DAF) is going to be a big consideration to &#8220;pay&#8221; your 0.5% now and get your nice Schedule A deduction, and then dole out the contributions over time.<\/li>\n<li>Those 65 years or older will have an additional $6,000 deduction on top of their standard deduction, but phases out at $150,000 adjusted gross income for married filing joint taxpayers. This was the solution for the &#8220;no taxes on Social Security benefits&#8221; objective.<\/li>\n<li>529 plans got a boost too. Additional K-12 expenses are now eligible, and vocational certifications are also eligible. For example, if someone wants to attend electrician school and obtain their licensing, a 529 plan might cover those expenses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Neat!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<style><\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-6898bb462ce44\" class=\" wd-rs-6898bb462ce44 wd-info-box wd-wpb text-left box-icon-align-top box-style- color-scheme- wd-bg-none border-btm-title img-right \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"info-box-title title wd-font-weight-800 box-title-style-default font-primary wd-fontsize-m\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"I_Just_Got_A_Rental_What_Do_I_Do\"><\/span>I Just Got A Rental, What Do I Do?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-inner reset-last-child\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-41808 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rental-cover-235x300-2.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" \/>Please give us a few beats as we also update our <a href=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/business-services\/book\/\">rental property book<\/a>, I Just Got A Rental, What Do I Do?
