Show Notes

Rayna breaks down the recently passed federal tax legislation—often referred to as the “Big Beautiful Bill”—and what it really means for your retirement. From increases to the standard deduction to new tax breaks for retirees over 65, this episode highlights key updates that could directly impact your income, Social Security benefits, and overall financial strategy.

You’ll also learn about lesser-known provisions, including deductions on tips, overtime income, and even car loan interest—benefits that may apply more than you think, even in retirement. Rayna explains what to watch for, what questions to ask your tax professional, and why staying informed could help you keep more of your hard-earned money.
