The many new benefits

  • Business incentive opportunities

    Tax incentives like small business stock exclusions and Opportunity Zone perks drive growth, innovation, and investment.
  • R&D credit and Section 174

    Full expensing of R&D costs is restored, and the R&D credit remains a powerful tool for innovation-focused businesses.
  • Business interest expense

    Expanded deductibility for interest expense.
  • SALT cap adjustments

    Modifications to the state and local tax deduction cap offer relief for high-tax jurisdictions and flow-through entities.
  • Energy credits

    Many clean energy credits now have accelerated phaseouts, so timing is key.
  • TCJA enhancements

    Key TCJA provisions, like the 20% pass-through deduction and lower tax rates, are extended or expanded.
  • Bonus depreciation and Section 179

    Immediate expensing options are back in full force, encouraging capital investment through 100% bonus depreciation and expanded Section 179 limits.
  • Estate and gift tax exemption

    The amount you can give away during your lifetime without paying estate or gift taxes increases to $15 million.
