Planning Guides for Individuals & Businesses

As we approach year-end, now is the time for individuals, business owners, and family offices to review their 2023 and 2024 tax situations and identify opportunities for reducing, deferring, or accelerating tax obligations. With inflation and continuing market volatility, tax planning is as essential as ever for taxpayers looking to manage cash flow while optimizing tax strategy for the road ahead.


TAX PLANNING GUIDE Tax Planning for Individuals

 

Businesses should also review their tax strategies and planning considerations across a range of areas with the help of additional tax planning guides for 2023 (available below):

Carefully examining tax accounting methods can present opportunities to realize tax savings and bolster cash flows. Meanwhile, some businesses may still be eligible for valuable payroll tax relief under the CARES Act’s Employee Retention Credit. Corporations, in particular, face unique tax rules around M&A, deductions, stock buybacks, and more, which warrant advance tax planning. Specialized tax guidance is especially prudent when dealing with financial transactions and instruments to avoid negative consequences.

Reviewing the new SECURE 2.0 act could reveal helpful provisions around retirement plan administration, as well. State and local taxes remain complex, so itemizing discrete planning considerations for the thousands of relevant jurisdictions is critical to minimize compliance burdens in 2024. Real estate businesses specifically need to assess how the latest tax legislation might alter deal structures. And, more broadly, revisiting income tax frameworks, preparing for the OECD’s sweeping global minimum corporate tax, and bracing for increased IRS partnership audits should anchor most 2023 year-end planning.
