Trump's Tax Plan Made Simple - Here Is Everything You Need to Know

Trump's proposed tax plan is both incredibly remarkable and
disruptive.


A few things about Trump's tax plan stand out. Here are three
main keys to understanding how it impacts your financial future
and personal savings plan.


 


Let's Start With My Favorite Criticism of Trump's Proposed Tax
Plan
 


The Wall Street Journal quoted Lilly Batchelder, a former Obama
Administration aide who now teaches at New York saying, "This
plan could have been written on a napkin and the changes could
have been written on the business card. This is an effort to
create some buzz in the first 100 days but not propose any
meaningful differences to the tax plans."


 


But, I find relief hearing the plan is simple and more straight
forward.


 


Today, you have to spend years studying taxes to hold a basic tax
job. 


And still, 10 different accountants can each have a different
situation to approach taxes. Why are we making taxes so
complicated all the time? There's a problem here.


 
Here's a simple explanation to a very simple plan.

 
The 3 Big Keys To Understand What Trump Is Suggesting In The
New Tax Plan:

 
1. This tax plan would reduce income tax brackets down to three
unique brackets.

 
2. The plan would repeal the estate tax. 

 
3. The plan would cut the tax on businesses to 15%.(Currently
at 40%.)   (If you want further explanations on what this
means the audio file from the show expands on this at 3:40 - Listen
above.)

 
Maybe that doesn't Sound that simple, yet. 

Here's what it means for your finances.


 


Most businesses will see an 11% drop in the taxes they pay. 


The belief is that if the United States dramatically reduces
business taxes, businesses will hire more people and an increased
amount of jobs will come back to the U.S.


While businesses/business owners will see an immediate
benefit, if you are working in a job getting a W2, you probably
won't see a big change. You'll likely be in the same bracket you
are in now.


 


The Flip Side: By cutting taxes, The country's
revenue is decreasing which means we are growing our national
deficit.
 


This is true - we are spending money we don't have but, we can't
solve the national deficit by being the highest taxed country in
the world. More than 50% of our country's budget goes toward
government programs that nobody is willing to touch.
 
Legislative changes are coming and this is where the tax plan
impacts you the most. because There is more to come...

 


Your Personal Financial Plan & The Legislative Changes That
Are Coming...


 


There is a BIGGER takeaway than wrapping your head around the new
tax plan.
 
Today's successful financial planners will build in
flexibility.

 


Legislative changes will come along and change the whole picture
of financial planning. This tax plan is a good change and it
still will impact how you plan for the future.


A lot of you have spent a lot of time and money in creating a
financial portfolio that may suddenly be obsolete or dramatically
changed.


 
Even now, congress is talking about doing away with pre-taxed
401K contributions. 

 


You have to build a plan that works if the legislation stays the
same and will continue to work even if legislation
changes.


 


Now, What Do You Do Next?
 


We know there are significant changes coming.


Ask yourself, "Is your financial portfolio ready for dynamic
changes in legislation?"
