With a new administration in 2025, there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the future of the TCJA and its sunset provision. While there are no guarantees, we may see some major changes to tax laws this year. Because of this, we have decided to not update this guide for the 2025 tax year. We are keeping our eyes and ears out for further tax law developments and will be prepared to update our guides should any new laws become finalized.
