Key takeaways

The new tax law presents several key opportunities you and your clients can consider this year to help lead to a more tax-efficient future.

  • If your client’s tax rate is expected to increase in the near future, consider strategies to take advantage of today’s currently lower tax rates.
  • If your client’s tax rate is expected to decrease, explore options to defer income.
  • Diversifying savings across tax-deferred, taxable and tax-free accounts can offer more flexibility and tax-efficient retirement income.

While the new tax legislation enhances and extends many benefits that had been in place since 2018, other provisions of the new law are temporary and set to expire at the end of 2028. Encourage clients to thoughtfully consider (with the help of their tax professional) how to make the most of these time-sensitive opportunities.
