In this episode of the Dental Boardroom Podcast, Wes Read, CPA and CFP, breaks down the key elements of the newly passed House tax bill—H.R.1, also called the “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act.” While it still faces an uncertain path in the Senate, this bill aims to permanently extend many provisions of the 2017 Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Wes walks dentists through what matters most, including the preservation of lower income tax rates, an increased standard deduction, and the continuation of the SALT deduction cap and mortgage interest limits—provisions that have significant implications, especially for practice owners in high-tax states.

He also explains temporary tax exemptions for overtime and tip income, a proposed auto loan interest deduction, and how these changes could affect employee expectations and HR management. Whether you’re a practice owner, associate, or independent contractor, Wes shares insights to help you prepare for what’s coming and highlights why staying proactive on tax strategy is more critical than ever.
