Top Year-End Tax Strategies

Learn to identify individual and business opportunities for tax savings and benefits.

U.S. taxpayers are still adjusting to tax changes and strategies due to the U.S. tax reform under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA). Many aspects of tax planning and preparation continue to provide opportunities and benefits but limitations and costs may offset some gains. However, by the end of 2025, there may be a sunset and expiration of many TCJA tax provisions. The taxpayers need to reassess whether they are factoring all of the benefits available under current law. This webinar will provide you with an overview of the tax preparation and planning issues that now apply to individuals and businesses, including changes in pass-through income and corporate taxes. While some tax planning occurs prior to the end of the year to adjust income and related expenses, significant tax decisions must be made at the time of filing the tax returns and extensions to file timely. The range of topics includes individual filing status, retirement contributions, and investment alternatives, along with business elections for depreciation, timing of business losses, and method of accounting issues. The tax decisions that impact your tax returns can have both current and future tax benefits and impacts.
