Surgent's Top Business Tax Planning Strategies
Overview
Tax planning for 2025 is largely based upon legislation contained within the Inflation Reduction Act and the SECURE Act 2.0, that offer new planning options and challenges for businesses in 2025. There are, however, other business tax changes in 2025 that result from different pieces of tax legislation, IRS pronouncements, and court cases that need to be taken into account from a planning perspective.
This program analyzes the new opportunities and challenges that these tax changes offer to businesses and their owners that impact 2025 and sometimes later years.
