Trump's Tax Plan - What is he proposing?

11/21/2016

1 Comment

 
With the election now over, so many of my clients are asking me about "rumors" they heard regarding Trump lowering taxes. Is this true? Overall, what he is proposing is true in that taxes for most will be lowered. Will it actually become law? I don't know because there's so much that goes into passing tax legislation. The President-elect can't just pass these laws by himself. He would need congress to go through the process of writing up the detailed tax law and passing it through various departments of Congress. It's not a simple process and can take many months for anything to come to fruition.
​
From what he is proposing, there are 6 things that caught my attention that would affect most of my clients.
Below is a video I made explaining the 6 biggest changes in Trump's new tax plan.

Alternative Minimum Tax! What is it?

1/21/2016

Most of my clients get hit with the dreaded Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).  This is an additional tax that people have to pay on top of their regular income tax if the taxpayer meets certain rules.  
Here are the common things I see across my client base on who usually gets hit with AMT:
  • Makes more than $180k a year.  
  • Lives in a state with high state income tax rate like CA or NY.  
Of course there is more than just these two triggers for AMT but these are the most common I see.  
Below are videos I created to help explain it better.  I hope it helps!
