The One Big Beautiful Bill Act reshapes the EV and clean energy tax credit landscape, accelerating the sunset of many consumer‑facing incentives while introducing new restrictions and compliance requirements.

Thoughtful planning now can help preserve value and reduce uncertainty.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act introduces meaningful changes to both health coverage and ABLE accounts, creating new planning opportunities while also imposing stricter compliance requirements.

Beginning in 2026 and 2027, taxpayers will need closer coordination with the health insurance marketplace and a clearer strategy to take full advantage of expanded ABLE account incentives. Thoughtful planning now can help preserve benefits and maximize long‑term outcomes. Basswood Counsel can help guide the way.

Interest. Dividends. Services. Royalties.

Each follows a different sourcing rule, and each impacts your tax outcome. Understanding sourcing rules isn’t just technical. It’s how you avoid double taxation and find planning opportunities others miss.

In this episode of Under the Basswood Tree podcast, Christopher Klug and Gina Lee walk us through how U.S. tax rules determine where income is earned and therefore where it is taxed. From interest and dividends to services, royalties, and inventory sales, each category follows its own logic.
