What are some things to anticipate in 2025? Are there tax-savings opportunities for your clients? Steve Siegel's 2025 Estate and Tax Client Planning Letter details several useful planning opportunities.  The letter encourages clients to carefully consider their planning situation post-election to be sure that their decisions and documents express and memorialize those decisions, are up to date and take maximum advantage of the estate planning, income tax and business planning opportunities offered by the tax law.

In this 33-minute August 15, 2025 program, Steven G. Siegel explains selected Estate, Trust and Tax Planning strategies post-2025 OBBBA (One Big Beautiful Bill Act), also known as H.R. 1. The Act makes "permanent" the $15,000,000 exemption and adjusts that exemption for inflation starting in 2026.  This program explains strategies that remain useful under OBBBA.

In this one-hour August 11, 2025 program, Steven G. Siegel explains selected income tax provisions of the 2025 OBBBA (One Big Beautiful Bill Act), also known as H.R. 1.  He then gives important planning suggestions for those provisions.  In addition to the one-hour audio explanation, you will receive a comprehensive 40-page written analysis prepared by Mr. Siegel.

For the last twenty-plus years we have been in what could be considered a golden age of tax and estate planning. Change is on the horizon. Favorable provisions enacted by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) are set to "sunset" at the end of 2025. This sunsetting, coupled with a consequential election, mean that we do not know what the tax laws will be next year.

What planning opportunities should you take advantage of while provisions remain favorable? In this September 5, 2024, 1.5-hour program, Steven G. Siegel, JD, LLM covers, in detail, many planning strategies to consider and recommends making your clients aware of possible and less favorable planning conditions.

In this one-hour July 22, 2024 program, Steven G. Siegel provides a practical explanation of how to handle a decedent’s final federal income tax return, the federal income tax returns of the estate and the numerous postmortem elections which are available.
