Only 30% of CEOs review their strategy regularly.
(Use SWOT to stay ahead.)
Why SWOT?
It’s simple and powerful.
It shows where you stand and where to focus.
SWOT =
✓ Strengths: What sets you apart
✓ Weaknesses: Where to improve
✓ Opportunities: Where to grow
✓ Threats: What to watch
Use it to:
• Leverage strengths
• Fix weaknesses
• Capture opportunities
• Prepare for risks
Make SWOT a regular habit.
Think clearly. Act decisively.
“The essence of strategy is choosing what not to do.”
Have you done a SWOT analysis?

📋 The $6,000 senior deduction is not automatic. It requires a MAGI calculation, a new form (Schedule 1-A), and if you are married, a joint return. Married Filing Separately disqualifies you entirely.

That last part generated a lot of questions when I posted this a month ago. Several readers couldn't find a clear answer. The law is explicit: no joint return, no deduction. Full stop.

The Social Security taxation point also drew some debate. The 85% taxable threshold applies to combined income (AGI + nontaxable interest + half of SS benefits) above $34,000 single or $44,000 joint. Not total income, not SS income alone. Combined income. The framing matters for the math.

The car loan interest deduction is real but limited. It applies to new vehicles assembled in the U.S., phases out above $100,000 AGI for single filers and $200,000 for joint filers, and caps at $10,000 in interest. On a $40,000 loan at 7%, that is roughly $2,800 in year-one interest. Deductible.

The RMD piece is underrated. A QCD (qualified charitable distribution) lets you satisfy up to $108,000 of your RMD directly to charity. It counts toward the RMD, reduces your adjusted gross income, and keeps that income out of the IRMAA and Social Security taxation calculations.

Tax season closes April 15. If any of these apply to your return, now is the time to check.

📋 The new tax law created four deductions that did not exist before 2025. All four can be claimed without itemizing. All four phase out at income levels well below what a high earner makes.

The senior deduction is the biggest for retirees. $6,000 per person over 65, $12,000 for a married couple where both qualify. It stacks on top of the existing standard deduction and the existing age-65 additional deduction. For a couple both over 65, total standard deduction is now $47,500.

The car loan interest deduction has the most restrictions. The vehicle must be new, final assembly must be in the U.S., and you have to report the VIN on your return. Leases do not qualify. Used vehicles do not qualify. The phaseout starts at $100,000 for single filers, which is the lowest threshold of the four.

Tip and overtime deductions only apply to people earning those types of income. The tip deduction covers 65+ occupations listed by the IRS. The overtime deduction only covers the extra half of time-and-a-half, not the base wage.

All four are temporary. They run from 2025 through 2028 unless extended. And all four are deductions, not credits. A deduction reduces your taxable income. A $10,000 deduction in the 12% bracket saves $1,200 in actual tax.
