💰Trump’s 2025 Tax Plan: A 4-Year Window to Build Generational Wealth

☕ Good morning!

Today, we’re breaking down Trump’s proposed 2025 “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Whether you’re for it, against it, or just trying to stay above the fray, the real question is: What does it mean for you? 

Let’s dig in.

8 Fast Takeaways

The bill itself is 389 pages of political speak and information, and if you want to read it, it’s linked here. I take it you have better plans for your day, so here are eight takeaways that matter most to the financially-forward.

📉 Permanent Extension of 2017 Tax Cuts: Individual and business tax cuts from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act would be locked in for good—lower rates, doubled standard deductions, and more.

💵 No Taxes on Tips and Overtime Pay: Service industry workers get a break, but only through 2028.

👶 Introduction of “MAGA Accounts” for Newborns: $1,000 federally funded savings accounts for babies born between 2024–2029, with tax-free contributions up to $5,000 per year.

The MAGA Accounts are federally funded but mirror the structure of 529 plans. Understanding whether these accounts allow self-directed investments could be a game-changer for compounding wealth tax-free.

🏡 Boosted Standard Deduction and Child Tax Credit: The standard deduction would jump by $1,000 for singles and $2,000 for married filers, while the child tax credit gets a $500 bump up to $2,500, good through 2028.

💸 SALT Deduction Cap Expansion: High-tax states get some relief with the SALT cap rising from $10K to $30K for those earning under $400K.

*The proposed SALT cap expansion to $30K is only beneficial if it doesn’t trigger the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), which historically has wiped out the benefits of SALT deductions for many high earners in high-tax states. Planning around AMT exposure is critical.

⚕️ Major Medicaid Reforms: Stricter eligibility and work requirements aim to cut $900 billion, affecting 7.6 million beneficiaries.

🌎 Elimination of Green Energy Tax Credits: Biden-era clean energy perks like EV credits and solar rebates are on the chopping block.

💰 New Fees for Immigrants and EV Owners: Asylum seekers could pay $1,000 to apply, and EV owners may face a $250 yearly fee.

For many high-earners, these adjustments mean more cash flow in the short term, but these changes are designed to sunset after 2028, throwing a curveball for long-term planning.

💰 Capital Compounds, Wages Don’t

The “One Big Beautiful Bill” is more of a redistributive engine humming quietly beneath the headlines. It binaries the economy cleanly: assets that compound vs. wages that degrade, healthcare solvent vs. strapped, cash flow rich vs. monetarily suffocated. 

The real signal is structural leverage: how one set of households gets a 30-year glidepath, and the other fights upstream into inflation, housing shortages, and degraded public services.

The bill proposes making the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent, which includes maintaining lower income tax rates and preserving the doubled standard deduction.

While W-2 earners might see modest tax savings, approximately $700, enough to cover a few weeks of groceries, those with pass-through income, such as partners in certain businesses, could benefit significantly more.

If this bill sunsets without extensions, the resulting rate snap-back will disproportionately impact W-2 earners with minimal tax-shielding options: setting up LLCs or exploring pass-through entities now could be a critical hedge

By utilizing structures like trusts and donor-advised funds, high earners can shield, defer, and compound tens of thousands of dollars. 

Every dollar saved in taxes can be invested, potentially compounding over time. 

For instance, with a 7% annual return, a single dollar can grow to over $7.61 in 30 years; so yeah, saving $10k on your taxes this year could be a nice present to yourself come retirement. 

Lowering top-bracket rates cheapens legal tax avoidance. Shelters like trusts and donor-advised funds get stickier, locking in wealth across generations and making it harder to pry loose, no matter the policy shifts in future administrations. 

📉 Making Sense of Trump’s Proposed Middle-Class Tax Cuts for 2025

Whether you love it, hate it, or just want to know how it hits your bottom line, Trump’s proposed 2025 “One Big Beautiful Bill” is a major shake-up, and a rare tactical window for you to take advantage of. 

Extending the 2017 tax cuts permanently means more opportunities to stack tax-advantaged investments. 

Lower rates mean more room to funnel capital into compounding machines, turning today’s tax relief into tomorrow’s multi-generational wealth. This is the kind of event you can use to spur long-term wealth and not just a rainy day fun. 

Still, the bill isn’t without its expiration dates. The boosts to the standard deduction, child tax credits, and the tax breaks on tips and overtime are set to sunset after 2028. That means five years to optimize, to get your strategy airtight before things snap back. 

Stay savvy, stay proactive, and keep your financial future bright.

Until next week!
