Qualified individuals earning under $150,000 annually will be able to deduct federal income taxes on overtime pay from 2025 to 2028, effectively making it tax-free.
"if you make $1,500 in a year in overtime, you could get a $1,500 tax deduction, therefore making it completely tax-free in addition to your standard deduction. ... this would apply to all income made between 2025 and 2028"
Overtime Pay Tax Exemption
Correct
The state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap will increase to $40,000 for individuals who itemize deductions and have an adjusted gross income (AGI) not exceeding $500,000 annually.
"this new bill would increase the state and local tax deductions to $40,000, but only if your adjusted gross income doesn't exceed $500,000 a year. ... in order to receive this, you must also itemize your deductions instead of taking the standard deduction of $30,000."
SALT Deduction Cap
Correct
Individuals will be able to deduct up to $10,000 per year in interest paid on personal used American-made car loans for tax years 2025 through 2028, phasing out for single filers above $100,000 AGI and married filers above $200,000 AGI, and eliminated above $150,000 AGI (single) or $300,000 AGI (married).
"If this bill passes in its current form, you would be able to deduct the interest paid on a personal used vehicle up to $10,000 a year for tax years 2025 through 2028 on top of the standard deduction, but only if the car is made in the United States. ... this deduction begins to phase out once you make more than $100,000 a year single or $200,000 a year married, with the deduction being reduced by $200 for every $1,000 you make above that limit. So basically, once you make over $150,000 single or $300,000 married, you no longer get the benefit."
Car Loan Interest Deduction
Incorrect
The $7,500 clean vehicle tax credit and other clean energy incentives (like solar and residential clean energy) will be eliminated or phased out by 2026.
"eliminating the $7,500 clean vehicle tax credit. ... it does look as though this is going to come to an end by 2026. This also phases out other clean energy incentives like solar and residential clean energy."

Eligible children born in the U.S. with a valid SSN between 2025 and 2028 will receive a one-time $1,000 tax credit from the IRS into an investable 'Trump account' for qualifying expenses such as higher education, business startup costs, or a first-time home purchase, taxed at long-term capital gains rates.
"Eligible children born 2025 through 2028 in the United States with a valid social security number will receive a one-time tax credit of $1,000 funded by the IRS into an account that could then be invested. The goal here is that with compound interest, $1,000 will grow to an amount that could then be used towards qualifying expenses like higher education, business startup costs, or a first-time home purchase taxed at long-term capital gains rates."

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), scheduled to expire at the end of 2025, will be extended, maintaining the top tax bracket at 37% (adjusted for inflation) and continuing specific tax cuts for business owners, including a 20% pass-through deduction, doubled estate tax exemption, and 100% bonus depreciation.
"extending the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This was a tax plan that was implemented in 2018 and scheduled to expire at the end of 2025. But now with this being continued, the top tax bracket is going to remain at 37% versus the previous 39.6%. Those amounts will more or less be adjusted to inflation every year, and we're going to get another round of 2018 tax cuts that were significant for business owners. For instance, this initially provided a 20% pass through deduction for business owners who operated an LLC or a corporation. It doubled the estate tax exemption, and it allowed 100% bonus depreciation in the first year for business use."
TCJA Extension
Correct
The standard deduction for those collecting Social Security will increase by $4,000, phasing out above $75,000 AGI for single filers and $150,000 AGI for married filers, potentially making some or all Social Security income tax-free for eligible individuals.
"Instead, they simply added $4,000 to the standard deduction for those collecting Social Security, phasing out above $75,000 a year if you're single or $150,000 a year if you're married. Essentially, this could theoretically shield some, if not all of the social security income is being tax-free"
