Navigating a New Landscape of Tax Policy

Signed into law on July 4, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) addressed the looming sunset of major tax policies from the 2017 Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. These provisions, paired with a broad range of new or enhanced items, amount to a significant set of changes to U.S. tax policy – ones that are expected to affect every taxpayer in some capacity.

Budget reconciliation bills often result in new planning challenges and opportunities, but the scope and complexity of the 2025 bill warrants special attention. Whether you’re focused on long-term estate planning, tax efficiency or charitable giving strategies, adapting your plan to account for the new legislation is vital.

In our fall edition of Digest, we analyze the new legislation from every angle:

  • What the most relevant changes and planning opportunities are for you
  • How to adjust your year-end planning strategies
  • The impact of this legislation on the larger policy landscape

As always, specific planning opportunities are best explored in partnership with your Baird Financial Advisor team. Lean on them to help you tailor your broader wealth plan in the context of new legislation.
