Tax Reform: The 2018 Tax Bill December 19, 2017

Although some have criticized the process and the policy decisions in the formulation of this major tax system overhaul, we in the tax and accounting industry wanted action and less talk about “maybe this will change and maybe that will stay.” We are about to get our wish for something—anything—in concrete so we can get tax plans in place before year end and have answers to the many questions our clients are asking about what tax reform does to their 2018 tax bill.
On December 15, 2017, Congressional Republicans released a 1097 page document, their reconciliation of the House and Senate tax reform bills. Only two steps are left before The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (H.R. 1) is sent to the President for his signature: a vote in the House and a vote in the Senate. Votes are expected this week with the bill on the President’s desk at the end of the week.
Here is a comparison chart that briefly summarizes the major provisions affecting our individual clients.
