Date: Monday, November 18, 2024

Time: 12:00pm – 1:15pm (Speaker is virtual)

About the presentation: At year-end 2025, many provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act sunset. This is massively significant for taxpayers. Although the relative amount varies, most will face a significant tax increase.

For estate planning practitioners, the most significant item to sunset is the “double” Basic Exclusion Amount. The most significant proposals circulating would eliminate the basis adjustment at death, modify the estate tax structure in general and limit the available planning techniques.

The political consensus seems to be that at least some of the tax cuts enacted in 2018 should remain in place. However, there is much room for disagreement regarding the details and the appropriate burden for high earners. Undoubtedly, new ideas will be part of the discussion as well and practitioners will have plenty to learn.

Preventing TJCA sunset and a revision to 2017 law will require legislation and complicated political negotiations. Throughout 2025, we can expect a steady stream of proposals and ideas. Planning for clients may be difficult.

This course will preview the ideas currently being discussed and how we can best help clients.
