A major tax law (Public Law No. 115-97)—originally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act—was enacted in December of 2017. The new law introduced significant changes to many areas of the U.S. tax system, including the taxation of individuals, businesses in all industries, multinational enterprises, and other areas.

While most of the new corporate provisions are permanent, many of the individual provisions (including a new deduction for some owners of passthrough entities) are scheduled to expire after 2025 and revert to their pre-enactment form.

To support year-end tax planning and help you plan for the year ahead, KPMG LLP (KPMG) presents the 2019 Personal Tax Planning Guide. Prepared by tax professionals from our Washington National Tax office, the guide provides valuable information about the new changes to the tax laws while providing corresponding planning tips.

In addition to chapters on individual income tax planning, planning for your business, and investment-related tax issues, the guide includes information for higher-income taxpayers concerning retirement planning, charitable giving, and estate and gift planning.
