Impending Tax Changes and Their Impact on Families

The podcast delves into the significant upcoming tax changes that may affect families, highlighting alterations to personal income tax rates and deductions set in motion by the latest jobs act reforms. These changes could lower the standard deduction and, with certain provisions expiring by 2025, potentially raise the effective tax rate for an average family.
