## Resource

In this episode of the 9innings Podcast , Kevin Thompson, founder and CEO of 9i Capital Group , breaksdown the recent “O3B” tax bill and what it actually means for taxpayers. He explains that much of the legislation simply extends provisions from the 2017 tax cuts , rather than creating entirely new ones, meaning most Americans shouldn’t expect dramatic changes to their tax bill. Kevin also addresses the larger refunds some taxpayers are seeing , explaining that many of them are the result of over-withholding earlier in the year after the law was passed mid-2025 , not necessarily new tax savings. The episode highlights where the real benefits are concentrated—primarily among seniors, business owners, and higher-income households —and reinforces a key takeaway: real tax savings usually come from proper tax planning, not just changes in legislation.
