...and what it means for you personally and for your practice.

***Note for Clients: Our team at PracticeCFO is already integrating these new tax law changes into your customized planning strategy — so you can capture every available deduction and stay ahead in 2025 and beyond.***


INDIVIDUAL TAX CHANGES (For You Personally)

  • Individual Tax Brackets Extended Permanently
    The lower tax rates from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will not sunset in 2026.
  • SALT Deduction Cap Increased
    The cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions increased from $10,000 to $40,000.
    Phases out for joint filers with Modified AGI over $500,000 (completely phased out at $600,000). Critical Point: The workaround, known as the Pass-Through Entity election, remains a valid option for those who can’t claim the full SALT benefit on their 1040.
  • Child Tax Credit Increased
    The child tax credit increases from $2,000 to $2,200 through 2028.
    Begins phasing out at $400,000 for joint filers ($200,000 single).
  • Auto Loan Interest Deduction Introduced
    Deduction of up to $10,000 annually for interest on loans for new U.S.-made vehicles through 2028.
    Available to joint filers with AGI under $150,000 ($75,000 single); phased out entirely at $300,000/$150,000. Note. PracticeCFO continues to recommend paying for auto expenses through your corporation to ensure maximum deductibility.
  • Solar and Electric Vehicles
    Residential Solar Tax Credit: Expires after December 31, 2025—the current 30% credit for homeowners installing solar, batteries, or other energy upgrades will no longer be available in 2025

The new EV tax credits will be eliminated after September 30, 2025. Includes credits for new and used EVs, as well as commercial vehicle and charging station credits—all terminated after that date.

  • Social Security Income Deduction for Seniors
    Taxpayers age 65+ can deduct up to $6,000 of Social Security income from taxable income.
    Phases out beginning at $75,000 AGI for single and $150,000 for joint filers.
  • Capital Gains Tax Rates Remain Unchanged
    No new surtaxes or rate increases.
    Applies across all income levels; standard capital gains brackets still apply.
  • Estate and Gift Tax Exemption Preserved
    The federal exemption (~$13.6M per person, ~$27.2M per couple) remains indexed for inflation.
    Applies universally; no change.

BUSINESS TAX CHANGES (For Your Practice)

  • 20% QBI Deduction Made Permanent
    The 20% Qualified Business Income deduction (Section 199A) is now permanent.
    Phaseouts still apply: $383,900 joint / $191,950 single in 2025).
  • 100% Bonus Depreciation Restored
    Businesses can immediately deduct 100% of qualifying property placed in service through 2026.
    No income limit; applies to all business taxpayers.
  • Section 179 Deduction Limit Increased
    Increased to $2.5 million, with phase-out starting at $4 million of qualifying purchases.
    Applies to all businesses; phaseout is based on property placed in service, not income.
