2019 essential tax and wealth planning guide
Deloitte’s 2019 essential tax and wealth planning guide—released in three parts—covers the issues critical to building and sustaining an effective wealth and tax plan in a post-reform environment. Each new release provides timely, accessible, and relevant insights for evolving your planning dialogue with your family members and tax advisers. Together, all three editions can help you gain an understanding of your new tax reality and chart a course for today, tomorrow, and beyond.
Tax planning topics covered in each installment include:
- Installment one (February 2019): Download our first installment for valuable insights on important tax issues likely to impact your planning. Chapters cover individual tax planning and tax policy in the wake of the first year of tax reform.
- Installment two (August 2019): Download the second installment of our tax planning guide to understand how wealth transfer planning and the international tax landscape have become more complex and require additional consideration under the new tax law. Also included: the latest tax policy developments in DC.
- Installment three (October 2019): Download the third installment of our tax planning guide, which covers loss limitations post-tax reform, further observations about wealth transfer planning, insights into year-end tax planning considerations, and a tax policy update.
While tax reform simplified some aspects of tax planning, other areas are new and complex. Where do you begin? How far do you need to go? Where will your path take you? These are important questions that you, your family, and your tax advisers should consider in the coming months, and Deloitte is here to help. Knowing tax in great depth, we are prepared to arm you with knowledge at each crossroad so that you can choose a tax and wealth planning path and move forward with confidence.
