You read the news. The IRS read the fine print.
In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act dominated the headlines.
- Higher reporting thresholds.
- R&D deductions restored.
- Crypto clarity (finally).
For founders, it felt like the pressure valve had been released. But here’s the part no one put in bold: the government doesn’t operate on headlines, it operates on effective dates.
And that mismatch between what you think changed and what actually applies this Monday is where founders get burned.
This virtual session breaks down, line by line, the difference between OBBBA and the compliance reality you’re facing right now, before penalties become unavoidable.
What we’ll cover:
The 2026 Landscape: How OBBBA shifts your corporate strategy and runway
The Capital Unlock: Claiming retroactive R&D expensing (Section 174)
The Audit Shield: Why "minimalist" reporting is the new standard for crypto
The Monday Footnote: Why the old $600 threshold applies one last time for Feb 2, 2026
OBBBA might make life easier next year. Right now, your job is to close out the old rules cleanly, correctly, and on time. Miss this, and you won’t find out until the notice arrives.
