Tax law changes might not sound exciting, but these updates could have a powerful impact on your retirement plans.
In this episode, I unpack the top provisions from the new One Big Beautiful Bill Act and how they may affect retirees, especially women planning for long-term income.
I break down tax deductions, clarify what’s changing (and what’s not), and offer timely planning strategies you can apply before 2028.
Key points:
- The new $6,000 bonus tax deduction for those age 65 and over, and how it stacks on top of standard or itemized deductions
- The deduction’s income limits, expiration in 2028, and how to plan around it strategically
- Changes to the SALT cap and how high-tax-state residents may benefit from a significant increase in deductible amounts
- The importance of reevaluating Social Security filing decisions and leveraging Roth conversions
- Charitable giving options, widow tax planning, and long-term income strategies to reduce lifetime tax liability
