USEFUL TAX INFORMATION
Higher Tax Exemptions in 2025
We want to remind you that at the end of last year, the IRS announced higher estate tax, gift tax and generation skipping transfer tax exemptions for 2025. It’s important to take the new higher thresholds into account when creating or refining your estate planning. For further details about the changes, click here.
SALT Deduction Cap to Expire
The cap on some state and local tax deductions (SALT) are set to expire at the end of this year. These allow taxpayers to deduct specific taxes from federal taxable income. There are differing opinions as to whether the change will be good or bad — depending on the state in which you live and your level of income. You can go here to learn more about what this change will mean for you and your taxes.
