FINANCE AND LEGAL GROUP

Taxes and Elections and Sunsets, Oh My! Tax planning for 2024 and beyond.

Mon, Dec 2, 2024, 10am

Location
Event to be held via Zoom.
 

Presented by Todd Koch, CPA, MBT

The elections are over. Whether your favorite candidate won or lost, now you have to plan on what to do next.

Even in times of uncertainty, you should look at trying to get to the best result over the years and this requires speculation for what may or may not happen in the future.

In this presentation we will discuss how the elections may impact you: 

  • What moves should you make in the next few weeks for your 2024 taxes? 
  • What may happen in the new Congress? What should I consider with the upcoming 2026 tax sunset provisions? 
  • While no one knows what will happen, it is good for you to be prepared for what may happen and have an idea of what the costs and benefits of potential changes have for you.
