Understanding the Latest Tax Law Changes with Nicole Green (Ep. 99)

Tax laws change often, but knowing which updates actually affect your finances can be difficult.

How do you know which deductions still apply, which strategies are worth considering, and when it’s time to have a planning conversation instead of simply filing a return?

In this episode, Robert Curtiss welcomes Nicole Green, Tax Advisor at Robert Hall, to discuss several tax law changes that could affect individuals, retirees, and business owners. They explain how recent updates may influence deductions, charitable giving, required minimum distributions, bonus depreciation, and year-round tax planning. They also explore why proactive collaboration between financial advisors and tax professionals can help people make better decisions before the end of the year instead of reacting during tax season.

Key takeaways:

  • How recent SALT deduction changes may affect taxpayers in higher tax states and income brackets
  • Ways bonus depreciation can fit into long-term planning instead of focusing on one tax year
  • Why charitable giving strategies can reduce taxable income more efficiently than standard donations
  • How tax planning conversations throughout the year may reduce unwanted surprises at filing time
  • Why financial advisors and tax professionals often produce better outcomes when working together
  • And more!
