On July 4, 2025, the President signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) into law, representing one of the most sweeping legislative changes affecting U.S. taxation, payroll compliance, and employer reporting in recent years.
While the Act touches nearly every sector of the U.S. economy, its most immediate and complex impacts fall on employers, payroll departments, and HR professionals. The law introduces retroactive changes effective January 1, 2025, along with forward-looking compliance requirements that will significantly alter payroll and tax reporting in 2026 and beyond.
Key areas impacted include:
· Employee and employer taxation
· Wage and hour reporting
· Tip income and overtime taxation
· Expanded and modified IRS reporting thresholds
· Updates to core payroll forms including Forms 941, W-2, W-4, 1099-MISC, and 1099-NEC
· Revisions to personal exemptions, child tax credits, and fringe benefit taxation
· Review of the permanent extension of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
· What does it mean “no tax on tips” & how will employers implement for their tipped employees
· Overtime taxation changes and how will employers manage the changes
· Form 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC Reporting Threshold Increases
· Updates to Personal Exceptions and Child Tax Credits
· Updates to Transportation and Moving Expense Taxation
· Form 941 and Form W-4 Updates for 2026
· Review W-2 reporting in 2026
· Additional OBBBA Provisions Employers Must Know - Trump accounts, Student loan changes and Employer meals
