SUMMARY:(SSTX686/26) Surgent’s Weekly Expert Hour: Special 2-Hour Edition – House Version of Ta Reform
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\nThe House of Representatives passed a version of President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” on May 22\, 2025. It contains significant tax law changes and a permanent enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). These changes must still go through the Senate\, and eventually both bodies have to agree on identical versions of the same tax reform provisions. Our program will examine the new changes enacted by the House\, and our panel will discuss the TCJA provisions that may become law. These topics have not yet been enacted into law\, but we believe many of them will be once they have gone through the Senate. \nPractitioners who attend this program will learn about all of these new proposed changes\, most of which we believe will be enacted shortly. Many of them will be effective in 2025.  \nDesigned For\nAccounting and finance professionals advising individual\, business\, and not-for-profit clients \nObjectives\nBe up to date on the latest tax law changes advanced by the House of Representatives \nMajor Subjects\nIntroduction to the House passage and future enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill New rules relating to the taxation of overtime pay and tipsIncreased deduction for seniorsChanges in the standard deduction and Child Tax CreditIncrease in the SALT cap to $40\,000\, with income limitationsIncrease in the estate tax exemptionIncrease in the QBI deductionEstablishing\, funding\, and making distributions to newly established accounts for childrenMedicaid changes  Deducting interest on car loans Elimination of green energy creditsReview of important TCJA provisions
