What’s Really in the Big Beautiful Bill?

Here’s the Timeline That Could Change Your Life

EXCLUSIVE

Signed on the 4th of July, this new law is about to shake up taxes, healthcare, and your paycheck. But the real kicker? Not all of it starts at once…

📆 Some Parts Start Now, Others Way Later – Here’s Why That Matters

The law called HR1 was signed on July 4th, but everything doesn’t kick in at once. Some changes started earlier this year. Others wait until 2025, 2026, or even 2027. That’s no accident. It gives people and politicians time to plan—or blame someone else.

💰 Tip and Overtime Tax Breaks for Workers Start in 2025

If you work in restaurants, construction, or any job with tips or overtime, listen up.

Starting on your 2025 tax return (filed in 2026), you can deduct:
Up to $25,000 in tips
Up to $12,500 in overtime

But only if you make under:
$150,000 single
$300,000 married

🛑 Important: You have to keep records! No more guessing your tips.

This tax break lasts until 2028. After that? It could disappear unless Congress extends it.

👴 Seniors Score a New $6,000 Deduction—No Strings Attached

If you’re 65 or older, you get an extra $6,000 off your taxes starting in 2025. You don’t need to be retired or working. It’s just automatic if you hit the age limit.

This stacks on top of the standard deduction, and it lasts through 2028.

🧾 Social Security Tax Relief for Middle-Income Seniors

If you make under $75,000 a year and get Social Security, there’s a big win:

Starting in 2025, many won’t pay federal tax on Social Security anymore.
If your income is very low, this may not change anything.
If you’re higher than the limit, the old tax rules still apply.
