How to Turn 2025's New Tax Rules Into Big Savings (SB1714)
Manage episode 496962702 series 30345
Big changes are coming to the tax code—and that could mean big savings if you know where to look. On today’s episode, Joe, OG, and Doug break down the most important updates in the 2025 tax laws and share smart, simple ways to keep more of your hard-earned cash.
Whether you're a spreadsheet-loving tax nerd or someone who still asks, “Wait, do I have to file?”—this episode will help you navigate the new rules like a pro.
Here’s what we unpack:
The 2025 Tax Overhaul: What changed, what stayed the same, and how it affects your bottom line
Credits vs. Deductions: Why that $1 credit might be worth more than a $5 deduction (math, but fun)
Above-the-Line Moves: Claim valuable deductions without itemizing
New Wins for Givers and Drivers: Above-the-line charitable contributions AND (drumroll…) personal auto loan interest is back!
Family Tax Breaks: Expanded dependent care accounts and beefed-up child credits
50 and Thriving: New 401(k) catch-up rules that can help you max out your retirement
Listener Mailbag: JJ asks how to contribute more to his 401(k) after age 50—and we bring the strategies
The TikTok Minute: Because money wisdom can live on the internet too
Doug’s Trivia & Financial Shenanigans™: Of course
You’ll walk away with clear, practical takeaways that could add thousands to your bottom line—without needing to read the tax code (you're welcome).
