What’s Next for the OBBB Act? IRS Guidance and Future Considerations

January 05, 2026

While the OBBB Act introduces substantial changes across the tax system, many details still require clarification. The IRS is expected to release additional guidance to outline how various provisions will be implemented, especially those involving phase-outs, income limits, reporting requirements, and new deductions.

The bill includes multiple temporary provisions — some expiring as early as 2025 and others extending to 2028 or 2030. Because of this, future Congresses will likely revisit these rules, potentially modifying or extending them based on economic and political conditions.

For individuals and families, the key message is simple: many of these provisions are tools that may help build a stronger financial future. With expanded deductions, new savings incentives, and increased flexibility in planning, the law offers opportunities for strategic decision-making in the years ahead.
