New from us today: The tax law made five separate changes that will affect incentives for charitable giving.
How will that all shake out?

New from us:
Americans dislike the “one big, beautiful bill” but favor some of its components.
A preview of the midterm messaging fight ahead….
Americans view President Trump’s tax-and-spending law as a win for wealthy households and large corporations, according to a new WSJ poll on.wsj.com/4kZVsWO

I'm just a man screaming into the void that $30,000 of officer's salary and $400,000 from an S-corp is not good tax strategy. #TaxTwitter

So, so many tax pros in my area got this wrong, and I even lost a client in 21 over it because he didn't believe me that his Goodwill donations didn't count.

Little-noticed provisions in the #OBBB One Big Beautiful Bill Act are about to boost #tax breaks for some donors, lower them for others and complicate them for lots of #Americans @Saunderswsj wsj.com/personal-finance/tax…

.@Saunderswsj has a taxpayers' guide to the revamped charitable incentives Congress just passed.
One key thing before this starts next year: Non-itemizer deduction is cash-only. The new itemizer deduction has a floor limiting deductions.
So... donate those old T-shirts now.

Congress giveth and Congress taketh away—sometimes in one law. The #OBBB “big, beautiful bill” signed by President Trump this month is a good example. #TAX wsj.com/personal-finance/tax… via @WSJ @Saunderswsj
My latest:
Congress is addicted to giving with one hand and taking away with the other through phaseouts, time limits and more.
Bottom line: many people won't be getting the new tax breaks they're hoping for.

New from me on today's CBO report on the distributional effects of OBBBA.
Republicans’ tax-and-spending megabill would give more money to middle-income and high-income households while taking benefits away from low-income people, according to a new CBO analysis on.wsj.com/3Ztj5PT
My latest:
The GOP tax-and-spending bill would expand tax-free 529 plan withdrawals.
Now they're mostly for college, but the expansion would cover more K-12 expenses and trade certificates, such as for HVAC tech.

Why Pope Leo's strict vow of poverty could get him out of onerous U.S. tax-filing requirements for expats.
We even have a photo of his vow, from 1981!

Yes, the @IRS is shrinking. But it is far from toothless—and the cost of getting caught has gotten higher. wsj.com/personal-finance/tax… via @WSJ @Saunderswsj
