Case study: W-2 + a little 1099-NEC side income
Let's warm up with a common one. Single filer, one W-2, and about $6,000 of 1099-NEC side income from a weekend gig. No dependents. Walk me through how YOU'd start this return — which schedules, and what you'd ask the client first. I'll post the CG6 workflow tomorrow. (Keep it anonymized — no real client details.)

OBBBA: the new deduction for tips & overtime (TY2025)
One of the biggest changes this season: OBBBA created new deductions for qualified tips and overtime pay for TY2025. The 60-second version: it targets workers in traditionally tipped roles and eligible overtime, with income phase-outs and substantiation requirements. We'll go deep on who qualifies and how to document it in Module C of the Master Class. Question for you: how many of your clients will this affect?
