If you’ve been selling old collectibles, furniture, or other personal items on eBay, you might think of it as a quick way to make cash, not something that belongs on your tax return. But according to tax guru Art Werner, new reporting thresholds for 1099-K forms are changing that, and the IRS could already have your sales data in hand.

“In the past, the threshold for receiving a 1099-K from a payment processor or credit card company was $20,000,” Werner explains in the latest episode of Quick Tax Tip. “If you didn’t hit that threshold, you wouldn’t get the form, and frankly, no one was looking.”

That’s no longer the case.

During his campaign rallies, Donald Trump made repeated promises to eliminate taxes on overtime pay, and that promise has now been incorporated into legislative language. According to tax expert Art Werner, the proposed tax break is indeed included in the new tax bill, and it’s one of the few provisions that start early and end early.

“This is one of the parts of the bill that actually sunsets,” said Werner in a recent episode of Quick Tax Tip. “It goes from 2025 to 2028, unlike the rest of the bill, which largely begins in 2026.”

Tax guru Art Werner doesn’t pull punches—and when it comes to the state and local tax (SALT) deduction limits in the proposed “Big Beautiful Bill,” he’s sounding the alarm for tax pros across the country.

“This was the one area under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that had the most screaming going on,” Werner says, referencing the uproar he witnessed during live lectures in high-tax states like New York and California. “They were really angry.”

While early rumors suggested the SALT cap might rise dramatically—perhaps even to $40,000—the current proposal sets the limit at $30,000 for married filing jointly and $15,000 for married filing separately, tripling the current $10,000 cap. That might sound like a win… until you read the fine print.

A key provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) is approaching its expiration date—and Art Werner, J.D., M.S. Tax, is sounding the alarm for advisors and their wealthy clients.

In the latest episode of the Quick Tax Tip podcast, Werner explains that the temporarily doubled estate and gift tax exemption, enacted under the TCJA, is set to sunset on December 31, 2025. “This creates a lot of uncertainty,” says Werner. “We’re hearing all kinds of things from Congress—maybe an extension, maybe making it permanent, or even letting it die completely. Some are even calling for the estate tax to be repealed. Others want a much higher, even confiscatory, rate.”

With so much political volatility, Werner urges tax professionals to proactively plan for the possibility that the exemption could be drastically reduced—or eliminated altogether.
