"you no longer have to pay taxes on your overtime income. So, if you work a job and you work overtime and you generate more income, you do not have to pay taxes on the first $12,500 of overtime income, assuming that you're a single tax filer. And if you're filing your taxes as a married couple, you do not have to pay taxes on your overtime income up to the first $25,000 of overtime income.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions, including tax rates and brackets for single filers, have been extended, preventing a potential increase in income taxes for most individuals.
"the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which now is permanent into law... This is assuming that you are a single filing taxpayer. If you're filing your taxes as a married person, the tax rates are going to stay the same. The brackets are going to be extended. So, you can check what it is on the internet, but this will give you an idea what the tax rates are. If the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was not extended, what would have happened is number one, these tax rates would have gotten a little bit higher and also these brackets would have gotten a little bit smaller, which means that for most people, you'll be paying higher income taxes because your tax rates would have gone up."

"Because you are a Tik Tok and Instagram influencer, you might need some heavy machinery for your business. Not a factory, not something like that, but maybe a G Wagon. Because if it's a vehicle that has to weigh more than 6,000 lb, which yes, the G Wagon weighs more than 6,000 pounds."
Section 179 Deduction (Vehicles)
Correct
The 20% Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction for eligible small businesses (LLCs, partnerships) is now permanent, allowing business owners to pay taxes on only 80% of their qualified business income.
"the 20% qualified business income deduction was now made permanent... if you run a small business, something like an LLC or a partnership that qualifies, and you can just do a quick Google search to see if your business qualifies, what that means now is you're not going to pay taxes on all $250,000. you're going to pay taxes on 80% of this because you get to take a 20% write off."
