During our July 2025 quarterly Tax Trends webinar, Baker Tilly’s seasoned tax professionals shared a concise overview of the major tax components included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Signed into law by President Trump on July 4, this comprehensive tax reform and budget reconciliation legislation represents a significant shift in U.S. tax policy. It stands as a major legislative milestone for both the administration and congressional leaders, arriving just as several provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act were set to sunset at year-end.
Watch national tax professionals James Creech, Nikki Grams, Ben Willis and Andy Whitehair walk through the OBBBA’s most impactful provisions, and their implications for businesses, international entities and individual taxpayers. From broadening the state and local tax deduction to eliminating select Inflation Reduction Act credits and overhauling Medicaid, the bill introduces sweeping changes across the tax landscape. The presenters also discussed how these developments could influence future tax planning and compliance strategies.
Baker Tilly’s experienced tax professionals — James Creech, Michael Lum, Andy Whitehair and Michael Wronsky — hosted a roundtable discussion as part of our quarterly Tax Trends webinar series on Thursday, March 27.
In order to help navigate the changing landscape of tax, our specialists covered:
- Tax policy updates, including information surrounding the reconciliation process, and the status of government funding and debt limit
- TCJA discussion covering planning options and potential sunsetting of gift and estate taxes, individual provisions that are sunsetting, along with those that will not
- What to expect for IRS exams and return processing and happenings at the IRS
