Sunset for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
MAY BE ENDING

PREPARE FOR POTENTIAL MASSIVE CHANGES

Many of the major tax law changes introduced by 2017’sTax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) will expire in 2025. That means one of the most extensive pieces of tax legislationto be passed in the last 30 years will revert to the rules that existed before the act was signed into law.
So much depends on what the political landscape will be like then,making it unclear whether the sunset of the TCJA will actually occur, or an entirely different set of laws may be enacted.
An important starting point is a better understanding of the key tax code provisions headed for expiration, and understanding how it will affect you.

These include:

  • Individual tax provisions to sunset after 2025
  • Business tax provisions
  • Estate and gift taxation
  • Estate and gifting planning strategies​

BOI: Beneficial Ownership Information

BY LAW, MOST BUSINESSESES MUST REPORT

A reporting company created or registered to do business before January 1, 2024, will have until January 1, 2025 to file its initial BOI report. A reporting company created or registered on or after January 1, 2024, and before January 1, 2025, will have 90 calendar days after receiving notice of the company’s creation or registration to file its initial BOI report.

The Corporate Transparency Act requires reporting companies to file its initial beneficial ownership information (BOI) report, identifying information about the individuals who directly or indirectly own or control a company. This is the U.S. government’s efforts to make it harder for bad actors to hide or benefit from their ill-gotten gains through shell companies or other opaque ownership structures.

Estate Planning and Understanding the Tax Implications

Estate Planning Tools that Work Best for You

If you are like most people and wish to avoid as many taxes as possible, leaving more money to a surviving spouse or beneficiaries upon your death, then this article is for you

An Annuity is an Insurance Contract, not An Investment

DON’T BE MISLED INTO THINKING OTHERWISE

An annuity is an insurance contract that provides you with a guaranteed rate of return regardless of stock market performance. But over the course of the maturing of the annuity, it doesn’t take into account the loss of purchasing power when you are able to access your funds. Are annuities a shell game? Learn more about what they don’t tell you in this informative video.
