What a year it’s been for tax and estate planning attorneys – a year of change and uncertainty. However, with the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act things have become much more clear… or have they? I know that I’ve talked to quite a few attorneys the last few months desperate for a CLE on the new tax law.
Tax Planning – The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
Major tax reform was approved by Congress in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) on December 22, 2017. The IRS is working on implementing this major tax legislation that will affect both individuals and businesses.

Cahoone will provide his wisdom and guidance on the newly minted tax act so you help your clients chart the best path in these tumultuous times. David will mainly talk about what’s changed & what remains the same under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the increasingly critical role of building flexibility into plans and continuing to help clients discover and set a course for achieving their enlightened dreams.
