The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was passed in July and it’s already reshaping the retirement landscape, especially when it comes to tax strategy and account planning. In this episode, Scott breaks down the three biggest takeaways from the bill that directly impact your retirement accounts. From Rothification trends and expanded conversion opportunities to smarter ways to preserve income-based deductions, we’ll tell you what has changed and how to take advantage of it.
Here’s what we cover in this episode:
🔁 Rothification is accelerating – More contributions and catch-ups will be pushed into Roth buckets.
📆 Conversion windows expanded – Lower tax rates are extended, giving you more time for tax-smart Roth conversions.
📉 Income limits matter – New deductions come with phaseouts, so strategic use of tax-advantaged accounts (like IRAs & HSAs) is crucial.
🧠 Small moves add up – Stackable strategies like QCDs and bunching deductions can significantly lower lifetime taxes.
📊 You only have 4 tax years to act – Don't wait until 2028 to start planning—optimize now.
