OB3 Refund Story Includes Main Street

In October we chatted with Piper Sandler’s Don Schneider to preview what the One Big Beautiful Bill would mean for tax season. Don forecast one of the largest refund seasons in history, with the typical refund level expected to grow by nearly $100 billion.

Now the firm is out with new analysis confirming those predictions. It also details how Main Street businesses can expect to benefit.

Based on the latest numbers, Main Street business owners will receive an estimated $27 billion in additional tax refunds during the 2026 filing season. These immediate savings stem from the restored bonus depreciation, immediate expensing, …

Tax Cuts Don’t Sell Themselves (But Big Refunds Help)

As tax season progresses, supporters of the Working Families Tax Relief Act are highlighting the provisions that made it possible.

Their findings support S-Corp’s observation that most of OB3’s benefits went to middle-income families and family-owned businesses engaged in traditional Main Street industries.

The Big Winners in OB3

For the Main Street business community, the benefits of the One Big Beautiful Bill (OB3) are clear – the bill kept our tax rates low, made permanent the 20-percent small business deduction, and retained full deductions for the state and local taxes we pay on our pass-through business income.

Cumulatively, these provisions will save pass-through business owners more than $100 billion a year. That’s real money they can invest right now in new equipment, new workers, and higher wages.

The case for family tax relief in OB3 is just as strong. As we’ve noted, provisions benefitting middle-income families – including the …
