Dear Valued Client,

We are writing to provide you with an overview of the recently passed sweeping tax legislation, which is set to impact individuals, families, retirees, business owners, and those in high-tax states. These changes may present valuable planning opportunities for your financial future. Below is a high-level summary of some relevant provisions:

For Everyone

  • Individual Income Tax Rates Permanently Set: Individual income tax rates will remain at 2017 levels and are now permanent. This includes marginal brackets of 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and 37%. This provision takes effect for tax year 2025.
  • Increased Estate and Gift Tax Exemption: The estate and gift tax exemption will increase to $15 million per person in 2026 and will be indexed for inflation. This is up from the 2025 exemption of $13.61 million, and under the new law the higher exemption is permanent, offering long-term estate-planning confidence.
  • Clean Energy Credits Expiring:
    • The $7,500 credit for buying or leasing a new electric vehicle will end for vehicles placed in service after September 30, 2025.
    • The 30% residential solar energy credit for rooftop systems remains available through December 31, 2025, for systems placed in service by year-end.
