You may hate or love Donald trump and his administration.

But here is a big win ALL Americans can celebrate.

The big beautiful bill helps you keep more of your hard earned money. Whether you’re working in a w2 job, or you’re the boss in your own business.

Millions of people benefit.

I’ll break this up in 2 parts. Individuals (everyone) and Business Owners.

Key changes for individuals include:

  • Car loan interest deduction: Up to $10,000/year on car interest for vehicles bought between 2025–2028. If your income is under $100k (single) or $200k (married), and the car is assembled in the U.S. This means if you buy a car this year thru 2028, any interest you pay on the car will reduce your taxable income. I.e. bigger tax returns.
  • TIPS income exclusion: First $25,000 from tip income (if you make under $150k/year) is tax-free.
  • Overtime income exclusion: The first $12,500 of overtime income (single) or $25,000 (married) is tax-free, provided you earn under $150k (single) or $300k (married). Please note this only applies to federal income taxes. Social security, Medicare, and State taxes still apply.
  • Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has been made permanent. This means most individuals get lower income tax rates and wider brackets, avoiding previous increases.

The Section 179 Tax Reduction Is  A Major Win For Businesses

Forklift and cargo van with a ‘Section 179 — 100% expensing’ label.

100% Section 179 deduction: Businesses can fully write off heavy machinery (including vehicles over 6,000 pounds) in the first year.

Here are some ideas if you’re an Ecommerce business owner.

1.Fork Lifts, Pallet Jacks and Material Handling Equipment

This allows you to invest into critical equipment and the entire cost of it comes off your earned profits. This can mean tens of thousands in tax savings if you’re growing and expanding your operations.

2. Delivery and Transport Vehicles

Heavy vehicles such as cargo vans, delivery trucks, and box trucks often qualify if used primarily for business (over 50%). Certain large SUVs and trucks over 6,000 lbs GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) can also qualify for immediate expensing under Section 179 and bonus depreciation.

3. Manufacturing and Production Equipment

You ever want to be able to make your own products without importing from China? 3D printers are fully tax deductible.

CNC machines, industrial presses, or packaging lines are eligible assets. These purchases can greatly expand production capacity and be fully deductible upfront.

4. Automation and Robotics

Amazon is laying off thousands of workers and will continue because they’re investing in robotic sorting systems, conveyor belts, and automated packing arms.  All of these increase fulfillment efficiency. These typically qualify as depreciable machinery and can be fully written off under the new rules.

5. Commercial HVAC Systems and Generators

If you own your warehouse or office building, certain improvements like HVAC systems, generators, and large refrigeration or cooling systems may now qualify for bonus depreciation or Section 179 treatment, depending on the setup.

6. Computer Servers and IT Infrastructure

If the business runs its own data systems, server racks, networking hardware, and backup power systems (UPS) are capital assets that qualify for immediate expensing. These are particularly valuable for large online operations.

7. Point-of-Sale (POS) and Kiosk Systems

For eCommerce brands expanding into retail or pop-up stores, POS systems, display kiosks, and interactive screens count as depreciable assets. These can help diversify sales channels while benefiting from 100% expensing

8. Commercial Trailers and Storage Units

If your company uses mobile storage or temporary site setups, cargo trailers, shipping containers, and mobile offices are tangible property that can be written off immediately if used for business operations.

9. Product Testing and R&D Equipment

If you design your own products you can deduct testing machinery, lab equipment, or industrial measurement tools. These assets often qualify for both Section 179 expensing and the R&D tax credit (a powerful combination).

10. Heavy-Duty Packaging or Labeling Equipment

For in-house fulfillment, industrial-scale packaging machines, label applicators, shrink-wrap systems, or sorting scales can be purchased and fully deducted. This reduces costs per shipment while increasing scalability.

The Qualified Business Income Tax Deductions Become Permanent

20% Qualified Business Income deduction is now permanent for eligible small businesses (LLCs, partnerships, etc.).

This means that if you own an eligible small business.

Such as an LLC, partnership, S corporation, or sole proprietorship (all “pass-through” entities),you can subtract up to 20% of your qualified business income from your taxable income when filing your taxes.

  • Student loan relief: Employer paid student loan repayments for employees are permanently tax-free.

This can be a big win for coming up with creative incentive packages to get high quality talent.

  • Corporate tax rate remains at 21% (instead of increasing to 35%), keeping overall taxes lower for C-corps.

The majority of people we talk to are not running C Corps but if you ever do get to that status, it’s good to know you’ll be double taxes less.

In Closing
