Why You May Need to Update Your W-4 or Arizona A-4
The IRS recently updated the Tax Withholding Estimator to reflect changes tied to the One, Big, Beautiful Bill, including updates related to:
- No tax on tips
- No tax on overtime
- No tax on certain car loan interest
- Deduction for seniors
- Family-related credits
- Homeownership-related tax benefits
- Charitable giving updates
These changes may affect how much tax should be withheld from your paycheck. Updating your withholding now can help you avoid surprises when you file your tax return and may help you keep more of your money throughout the year.
Who Should Review Their Withholding
You may benefit from updating your withholding if you:
- Have more than one job
- Are married and both spouses work
- Recently got married or divorced
- Had or adopted a child
- Claim dependents or tax credits
- Itemize deductions, such as mortgage interest or charitable contributions
- Receive gig income, freelance income, or other income without withholding
- Owed taxes this past filing season
- Received a larger refund than expected and want to adjust your paycheck

When you stop by our office, we can help you:
- Review whether your withholding may need to change

The OBBB - One Big Beautiful Bill
The reality of the OBBB July 2025
Cutting Through the Hype — What the One Big Beautiful Bill Really Does for Your Taxes
Independence Day headlines promised “the biggest middle-class tax cut ever.” 24-hour news crawls shouted that Social Security is now tax-free, tips are untaxed, and the SALT cap is dead. Nice soundbites—but the statute that landed on the President’s desk tells a more nuanced story. Here’s the straight forward information:
1. Social Security: still taxable
The rumor: “Seniors will pay zero tax on their benefits.”
The law: §86 is untouched. What’s new is a temporary “Senior Bonus” deduction—$6,000 for each taxpayer age 65+ ($12,000 on a joint return)—available 2025-2028. It phases out starting at $75 k AGI single / $150 k joint. For many retirees that extra deduction wipes out the provisional-income worksheet, so their benefits appear untaxed—but they’re still included in the calculation. (marketwatch.com, cbsnews.com)
Planning tip: If you’re on the cusp of the phase-out, time Roth conversions or large IRA withdrawals to stay under the AGI ceiling through 2028.
2. Standard deduction—bigger and permanent, but not jaw-dropping
The TCJA-doubled standard deduction no longer sunsets and is indexed higher: $15,750 single, $23,625 head-of-household, $31,500 married filing jointly for 2025. That’s about an 8 % bump, not a 100 % explosion. (congress.gov)
3. “No Tax on Tips” & “No Tax on Overtime” — not exclusions, capped deductions
- Cash tip deduction (§110101): Above-the-line write-off of up to $25,000 per taxpayer (2025-2028). Phases out past $150 k AGI single / $300 k joint. Electronic tips don’t count. (kiplinger.com, congress.gov)
- Overtime deduction (§110102): Above-the-line write-off of up to $12,500 per taxpayer ($25,000 joint) on the 50 % FLSA overtime premium. Same phase-out thresholds; barred for highly-comp employees (>$160 k comp or 5 % owners). (congress.gov, congress.gov)
What this means: Your W-2 will still report the income and you’ll still pay FICA; you just get to deduct a slice on Form 1040. Employers and POS vendors should brace for new W-2 boxes and payroll-software patches by Q3 2025.
4. SALT cap—higher not gone
The deductible ceiling on state & local taxes jumps from $10,000 to $40,000 for 2025-2029 and then falls back unless Congress acts. Inflation bumps the cap about 1 % per year; phase-downs kick in above $500 k MAGI. (bipc.com, journalofaccountancy.com)
5. Made-in-USA car-loan interest deduction
Buy a new vehicle whose final assembly is in the United States and you can deduct up to $10,000 of loan interest (2025-2028). Phases out above $100 k / $200 k AGI. Existing EV credits vanish. Keep that window sticker! (kiplinger.com, fidelity.com)
6. Estate & gift tax exemption now $15 million
Beginning 2026, the unified credit rises permanently to $15 million per person ($30 million joint), indexed for inflation. No special “family farm” carve-out made it into the final text. (marketwatch.com, frostbrowntodd.com)
7. Business breaks that did survive conference
- 100 % bonus depreciation on qualifying assets placed in service after Jan 19, 2025—no phase-down. (kbkg.com, taxfoundation.org)
- Section 179 expensing cap doubled to $2.5 million (phase-out at $4 million). (nfib.com)
- Section 199A (QBID) made permanent; phase-in threshold rises to $75 k single / $175 k joint, and for some filers the rate nudges up to 23 %. (bipc.com, taxfoundation.org)
- Immediate expensing of domestic R-&-D costs, retroactive to 2022. (kbkg.com)
Final word
The One Big Beautiful Bill is indeed a sizable tax cut for many middle-income families and small businesses—but most of the splashiest claims you heard over the weekend are headlines, not reality. As always, the real savings live in the details and deadlines.
