Surgent's Post-Election Coverage of Potential Tax Changes & Planning Strategies

Overview

This program will cover what we anticipate will be new tax developments and planning strategies in light of the results of the 2024 presidential and congressional elections. Our panelists will analyze the tax changes proposed by the winning presidential candidate and discuss the prospects for enactment of such proposals, taking into consideration control of the Senate and the House of Representatives. We will also discuss the possibility of tax legislation being enacted between the election and the swearing in of the new president.  We will also discuss the possibility of re-enactment of provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), as well as expiring provisions not enacted as part of the TCJA.
