The OBBBA contains hundreds of provisions—many of them related to taxes. For example, it permanently extends the individual tax rates Trump signed into law in 2017, which were set to expire at the end of 2025. It raises the cap on the state and local tax deduction to $40,000 for taxpayers making less than $500,000, with the cap reverting to $10,000 after five years. OBBB includes several tax deductions for tips, overtime pay, auto loans, and creates Trump Accounts, allowing parents to create tax-deferred accounts for the benefit of their children, all set to expire in 2028. It includes a permanent $200 increase in the child tax credit, a 1% tax on remittances, and a tax hike on investment income from college endowments. However, It phases out some clean energy tax credits that were included in the Biden-era Inflation Reduction Act, and promotes fossil fuels over renewable energy. It increases a tax credit for advanced semiconductor manufacturing and repeals a tax on silencers
It raises the debt ceiling by $5 trillion. It cuts Medicaid spending by 12% and expands work requirements for SNAP (food stamp) benefits) recipients and makes states responsible for some of the SNAP costs. OBBB includes $150 billion in new defense spending and another $150 billion for border enforcement and deportations. The law increases Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) funding from $10 billion to more than $100 billion by 2029.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Introduced into the House in May 2025 and signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB Act), its several hundred pages are likely to affect how lenders extend credit to borrowers and how borrowers are likely to use the proceeds.
