What is Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) & What Does it Mean For You?

Earlier this year, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA, also called the Big Beautiful Bill or BBB). This sweeping legislation includes major changes to the tax code, deductions, credits, and other financial provisions.

Bottom Line:

Tax laws and retirement planning rules change quickly. In just the last five years, we’ve seen major shifts through the SECURE Act 1.0, SECURE Act 2.0, the Inflation Reduction Act, and most recently the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
