In March, President Trump signed an executive order to begin shuttering the Department of Education. A lower court forced him to stop the process, but on Monday, the Supreme Court overturned it.  President Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill” eliminates federal tax credits for new and used EVs and plug-in hybrids purchased after September 30, 2025. How will this affect consumers and manufacturers? The number of immigrants leaving the U.S. this year may surpass the number of those who arrive. Liberal and conservative economists warn of impacts. Once dominated by ceremonies and roses, reality TV dating is leveling up. “Love Island” has real-time twists, social media presence, and viewing parties.

With the recent passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, also known as the Big Beautiful Bill, significant changes are coming to both solar panel and electric vehicle tax credits.  I break down what these changes mean, how they can affect your savings, and what steps you might want to take before these credits disappear. From figuring out if solar panels make sense for your home to understanding how electric vehicle credits work (and when they're expiring), this episode is packed with actionable insights and tips, especially for those planning for retirement or looking to cut down on monthly expenses. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [01:31] Residential solar panels are popular for reducing electric bills, offering significant savings, especially for retirees. [05:23] Solar tax credits are expiring soon. [09:07] Solar investments offset electric costs and protect against future rate hikes, beneficial long term. [11:28] Costs and break-even of electric cars. [13:08] Act now if you want to take advantage of solar tax credits. The Solar Panel Tax Credit is a Fading Opportunity One of the biggest draws for homeowners considering solar panels has been the significant federal tax credit, currently set at 30% of the total installation cost. This credit has made solar an appealing investment for many, offering a direct dollar-for-dollar reduction in the taxes owed. In high-cost electricity states like Connecticut, this can mean hundreds of dollars in monthly savings on your utility bill. However, the Big Beautiful Bill brings an unfortunate change: the solar tax credit is set to disappear at the end of this year. That means if you've been thinking about going solar, now is the time to act. If you don't install solar panels before the deadline could add years to your payback period, undermining the investment's attractiveness and putting it out of reach for many. Energy Savings of Battery Storage and EVs While solar panels are great for energy savings, adding a battery storage system further enhances their benefits. A battery can store excess solar power for use during peak times or outages, which is particularly helpful for retirees planning to stay in their homes for decades and looking to insulate themselves from rising electricity rates. Electric vehicles (EVs) also offer savings for households with high transportation costs. The federal EV tax credit, worth up to $7,500 on new cars and up to $4,000 for used EVs, has also been a strong motivator for those considering a switch from gas-powered vehicles. The Big Beautiful Bill also changes the EV tax credit, which will disappear even sooner than the solar incentive. Although there are several important limitations: only vehicles assembled in North America qualify, and there's a cap on purchase price ($55,000 for sedans, $80,000 for SUVs). Income limitations apply as well; single filers must earn less than $150,000 ($300,000 for married couples) to claim the new vehicle credit. The used EV credit comes with lower income caps ($75,000 for singles, $150,000 for couples) and is worth up to $4,000.  Should You Act Now?  Before making any big investment, think about the following: Timing: Both solar and EV credits will soon vanish. If you want the tax break, don't wait. Financial Health: The best return comes from paying cash, not financing or tapping retirement accounts. Long-term Plans: Solar and EV investments make the most sense if you plan to stay in your home and keep your vehicle for years to come. Manufacturers may eventually lower prices as credits disappear, but there are no guarantees. With energy incentives set to change dramatically, the window to maximize savings is closing fast. For homeowners and future retirees, the time to act is now, whether that means installing solar, purchasing an EV, or both. Consult with a financial advisor to consider how these decisions fit into your overall retirement and financial readiness strategy. The Treasury Department's official list of eligible vehicles shows that the cars, trucks, minivans, and SUVs listed below qualify for a full $7,500 tax credit if placed in service between January 1 and September 30 of 2025.   In some cases, only certain trim levels or model years qualify. More vehicles may be added to or removed from this list as manufacturers continue to submit information on whether their vehicles are eligible.

The federal tax credit for used electric vehicles is set to expire on September 30, 2025 — but what does that mean for used EV values? In this episode, we take a look at the current state of the used EV market, how these vehicles have been holding their value, and what could happen when the tax credit is gone. Will prices jump as buyers rush in, or will they drop with lower demand? Join us as we break down both sides of the market and what we'll be watching after the deadline passes.

On today's show we are talking about access to US Federal low income housing tax credits. This is something that frankly has not made headlines. The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program is the primary federal program for encouraging the development and preservation of affordable rental housing in the United States. Here's how bonding capacity links to LIHTC and how recent legislation has changed the requirements.The Act permanently reduces the threshold for private activity bond financing from 50% to 25% of the aggregate basis of the building and land costs. They effectively doubled the impact of bonding capacity and therefore they doubled the low income housing tax credits that are possible for the same amount of bonding.-----------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)  

President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill marks the end of the federal EV tax credits at a time when sales of used EVs and hybrids are ramping up and new EV sales are slowing. The bill, signed July 4, could spur additional incentives at the state level and from manufacturers as the federal credits end nearly seven years early. The bill moves the expiration date up to Sept. 30 versus the initial end date of Dec. 31, 2032.  At the same time, lower prices and more models coming off-lease contributed to an uptick in used-EV sales in May, while new EV sales declined year over year. Hybrid sales have also been on the rise, with gas-hybrid sales making up a record 12.6% of total vehicle sales in April.  In powersports, several Harley-Davidson dealerships have closed their doors amid a dip in motorcycle sales and in tandem with leadership changes at the company.  Weaker motorcycle sales mirror trends in the wider powersports market headed into the summer months, with powerboat retail sales down 9% YoY through April and North American RV registrations down 5.6% YoY in May. On the tech front, Santander Consumer USA has launched a new pre-qualification dealer lead generation tool, and CarMax is gearing up to launch updated versions of its chatbot tools for associates and customers. In this episode of the “Weekly Wrap,” Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris, Senior Associate Editor Truth Headlam and Associate Editor Aidan Bush discuss the latest updates on electric vehicles, incentives, powersports and technology for the week ended July 11. 

This week's episode of the Business Brief podcast looks at how President Donald Trump's bill to cut taxes and spending will affect the solar energy industry in Missouri. Then, University of Missouri Extension officials share insights about how Missouri farmland value is changing.

Max Jackson discusses the potential impact of the "One Big Beautiful Bill" on energy prices and the industry as a whole. Jackson notes that while the decline of tax credits may have hurt solar stocks in the near term, the fundamental value proposition for renewables remains intact. He is bullish on energy as a sector, citing rising energy prices, but cautions that the timeline for nuclear and other alternatives may be longer than anticipated.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Is the “Big Beautiful Bill” about to choke the life out of solar & wind? Can energy storage be solar's savior? Isn't Solar inevitable? We don't need no stinking subsidies, right? Right?If you haven't had a chance to catch up yet on all that the bill implies, keep reading (seriously at the bottom I've linked a ton of recommended reading!) In this episode, policy analyst, Christian Roselund, returns to SunCast to unpack the real implications of the recently passed Megabill—a sweeping piece of legislation that redefines how the solar (and wind) industry can operate in the U.S. From shifting timelines to aggressive FEOC (foreign entity of concern) ownership rules, the bill undoes decades of positive momentum, but could hasten the inevitable - that solar + batteries will be at or below grid-parity with or without incentives.With residential solar already faltering and manufacturers scrambling to comply with 45X and FEOC rules, this episode delivers an unfiltered look at the legislative changes that could derail billions in investment.Christian—known for making complex policy digestible—breaks down what the new rules actually say (well, what was known at the time at least!), what's still misunderstood, and how companies should prepare for a volatile few years ahead. Note to Listener: Since this conversation was recorded, the final version of the OBBB was passed with some significant updates: most notably, the 25D and 48E residential solar tax credits were retained, as was transferability (a huge collective sigh!), and the 45X manufacturing credit remains in place, though compliance with FEOC rules will continue to challenge supply chains. The ITC/PTC windows under 45Y and 48E are now expected to run at full value through the early 2030s, providing much-needed policy certainty. Below, we're providing you with PLENTY of links to the latest reading Nico and the team have been doing wrt this huge megabill and it's impact to the solar industry.

A new Senate bill proposes ending both new and used EV credits by September 30, 2025.The Senate plan accelerates the credit phaseout, bypassing both House and prior Senate timelines.Lucid's CEO warns the change “would make it very difficult for new players in the market.”The bill also ends penalties for CAFE standard noncompliance, easing burdens on legacy automakers.Dealers are concerned; roughly 140,000 EVs sit on lots.NADA:“If EV tax credits are going to be repealed, NADA urges Congress to include a reasonable transition period.”China's latest export restrictions have flipped the rare earths market on its head—sending automakers scrambling for alternatives and giving non-China suppliers the spotlight.After Beijing tightened exports of key magnet materials in April, Western buyers are now urgently securing non-Chinese supply chains.Neo Performance Materials in Estonia has seen surging demand at a $10–$30/kg premium for non-China magnets.Korean and European firms are also investing in alternative sources, even paying 15–30% more to ensure supply.Industry insiders warn that premiums too high could kill demand; too low, and new suppliers can't survive.“Customers understand there is a premium… but if that premium gets too big, we're looking at demand destruction,” said Neo CEO Rahim Suleman.Small business owners are facing an alarming new wave of fraud—fueled by generative AI. With tools like ChatGPT and deepfake video tech, scammers can now clone brands, replicate storefronts, and impersonate real people—all with little to no technical skill.One scam targeted knife seller Oishya with a fake giveaway campaign, sending fraudulent offers to 10,000 Instagram followers and duping nearly 100 customers out of shipping fees.A recruiter shared how applicants now use AI avatars to cheat video calls, forcing her to ask for ID and personal questions to confirm they're real.In another case, an engineering firm lost $25 million after an employee was tricked by AI-generated video replicas of his coworkers, including the CFO.“It's like whack-a-mole, but the moles are multiplying,” said one cybersecurity executive.“Doing business online gets more necessary and high risk every year,” said Nima Etemadi of Cake Life Shop. “AI is just part of that.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Hello, PFR Nation and Happy 4th of July, and Happy Birthday, America!  What a great country we live in, I'm so proud to be an American.  My Dad being a (legal) immigrant has given me great appreciation for the opportunities we have relative to the rest of the world.  I'm feeling extremely blessed for the clients we are serving in our financial planning firm, and I'm so grateful to serve all of you with this podcast.  I hope you continue to find value.  We have a fair amount of new listeners, plus the legacy listeners, and I just want to say how excited I am to deliver this weekly content to all of you.  Thank you for the support, and welcome to the 84th episode of the PFR Podcast and 7th edition of the ‘Whiteboard Retirement Plan.'  Leo and Lisa are looking to retire in 2 years, at 61 and 58 respectively.  They have done quite well accumulating approximately $3 million for retirement with the majority being inside of traditional tax deferred IRA's and a 401k.   Leo is on Long Term Disability and was forced to ‘retire earlier' than planned, and is receiving tax free income until 65.  Lisa plans to fully retire at 58.  However, this will result in losing employer-sponsored healthcare and ultimately needing to shop around in the open market.  One option will be to consider the Affordable Care Act policies on Healthcare.gov.  Furthermore, Roth Conversions are of interest during their “Roth Conversion Window” from Lisa's age 58 until she turns 75.  In this episode, we will help them decide whether or not to aggressively pursue a ‘low income' to reduce healthcare costs in early retirement…or, to begin converting some of the tax-deferred accounts right away to reduce the ‘Tax Trap of 401ks.'  Drop a comment and let me know what you plan to do if you retire before 65!  Will you aggressively pursue ACA Premium Tax Credits?  Aggressively convert to Roth?  Or potentially a hybrid between the two?  I hope you enjoy the 7th edition of the “Whiteboard Retirement Plan.”ACA Premium Tax Credits Video***Additional Disclaimer***  So much about these rules are up in the air.  From 2021-2025, there has been a “gradual slope” downwards of ACA premium tax credits even AFTER you exceed 400% of the Federal Poverty Level.  However, that is set to revert back to the “Cliff” at 400% after 2025.  With that said, there is a LOT on the table with the “One Big Beautiful Bill” which will likely include further changes to these rules.  I guess what I'm saying is…continue to follow the “OBBB” and of course follow the PFR Pod!-KevinTakeaways:Many of the families we serve are overachievers looking to retire early.Healthcare costs are a significant concern for early retirees prior to reaching Medicare eligibility.Budgeting for lifestyle and healthcare is crucial in retirement planning.Roth conversions can optimize tax liabilities over time.Monte Carlo simulations can help stress test the plan, but is by no means the be all end all retirement metric.Understanding the Affordable Care Act and their premium tax credits are important, but should NOT be the sole basis for tax planning opportunities.  Tax traps in traditional retirement accounts can impact long-term wealth during a retiree's lifetime, and for the next generation.  Income stability is key for a successful retirement.Adjusting retirement plans can provide more flexibility and security.⁠Are you interested in working with me 1 on 1?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click this link to fill out our Retirement Readiness Questionnaire⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Or,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ visit my website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with me here:​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join My Company Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is for general education purposes only and should not be considered as tax, legal or investment advice.

One of the most crucial elements of any property financed by clean energy tax incentives is the begin-construction date. That date'which must be proven through one of two tests'sets the standard for the amount of tax credits and their value. It may also determine eligibility for certain incentives. In this week's podcast, guest host Tony Grappone, CPA, and guest Josh Morris, CPA, discuss the begin-construction tests, including why they are important and how to prove you've met at least one of the tests. They also discuss issues that can arise while proving either the physical work test or the 5% test and share what services Novogradac provides to assist clients in meeting these crucial tests.

Sales of used electric vehicles are ramping up as it becomes more likely the federal EV tax credit will end and as off-lease EVs return to market.  Second-quarter used EV sales are projected to surpass 100,000 units, setting a record and following a 32.1% year-over-year jump in May to 36,609 units. By contrast, new-EV sales declined 10.7% YoY in May to 103,435 units. With strong sales, used EV supply has diminished, reaching a three-year low in May. Used EV inventory was 40 days' supply in May, down 11% YoY, according to Cox Automotive.  Uncertainty surrounding the fate of the federal tax credit for new and used EVs is one driver behind consumer demand in recent months, combined with state-level incentives. Meanwhile, tariffs and the resumption of student loan payments and credit bureau reporting could impact auto loan credit performance in the coming months.  In powersports, mixed sales and rising inventories have prompted a wave of promotions from manufacturers that range from increased cash rebates to lowered rates on certain models.  In this episode of the “Weekly Wrap,” Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris, Senior Associate Editor Truth Headlam and Associate Editor Aidan Bush discuss trends in electric vehicles, credit performance and powersports for the week ended June 27.

A massive solar panel recycling facility called Solarcycle is coming soon to Cedartown, a small community in Northwest Georgia near the Alabama border. Solarcycle got a $64 million tax credit through the Inflation Reduction Act to build a second facility that will make solar panel glass, but according to the company, the groundbreaking is on hold as Congress considers gutting the clean energy tax credits in the new federal budget. On this week’s episode of “Plugged In,” hosts Sam Gringlas and Rahul Bali look at what this could mean for Cedartown and Georgia’s flourishing industries making electric vehicles, batteries and solar panels. Plus, how the conflict between Israel and Iran is exposing divisions among Georgia Republicans and a look at the fall of the in-person campaign launch.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's time for another edition of one of our newer slots on Morning Focus: Ageing Well. Ageing Well, as the name implies, is aimed at older members of the community in Clare. This month, Aisling Ní Mhaoileoin, Revenue's National PAYE Manager, joined Alan Morrissey to discuss main tax credits and reliefs available to older people and their carers, including medical expenses, nursing home fees, and pension taxation.

Solar companies aren't the only ones facing tax credit cuts. Morningstar's Seth Goldstein talks about President Trump signing congressional orders that would end EV tax credits in California. While Seth sees short-term EV adoption plummeting, he doesn't believe they affect the long-term picture. Turning to Tesla (TSLA), he explains why Morningstar has a $250 fair value price target even though the company trades well above that level. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Jimmy Failla is flying out to Reno for a big stand-up show, so we asked the always dependable Paul Gleiser from KTBB in Tyler, Texas to come off the bench again and guest host Fox Across America. Paul shares his thoughts on the fiery public spat between President Trump and Elon Musk, and tells us which man he believes comes away from this looking like the adult in the room. Former Trump 2024 Campaign Deputy Communications Director Caroline Sunshine pushes back on some of the things Musk said about Trump's electoral victory last year. Florida Republican Congressman Randy Fine explains how we should be looking at the “big, beautiful bill” as a crucial step in the fight to cut spending, not a complete solution. Former Louisiana Republican Congressman Garret Graves gives his take on the massive piece of legislation. Co-host of “The Big Money Show” on Fox Business Taylor Riggs expresses her disappoint about DOGE's inability to enact lasting spending cuts in the federal government. PLUS, White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly discusses the important border protection funding that's included in the bill.
