The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law on July 4, 2025, halts the expiration of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on December 31, 2025's reduction and instead increases the Federal Exemption to $15,000,000 per individual ($30,000,000 for a married couple), indexed annually for inflation, starting on January 1, 2026.
