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.

Updated 1/1/2024

Related Guide: TCJA Sunset Provision Comparison Guide

Many clients have enjoyed the lower tax brackets brought about by the TCJA. However, the current tax brackets are expected to change at the end of 2025 when the TCJA sunsets. Are you and your clients prepared for this?

With this checklist, you can start having meaningful conversations with your clients about steps that can be taken now, and after the sunset occurs, to ensure they are making the most of their tax planning goals and needs.

This checklist covers important tax planning factors to consider before and after the TCJA sunset provision occurs, such as:

  • The effect on one’s budget and cash flow.
  • Potential changes in one’s retirement contribution strategy.
  • Proactive planning strategies regarding required minimum distributions (RMDs) and the sale of other taxable assets..
  • Business owner considerations regarding purchases and the Section 199A QBI deduction.
  • Estate planning and gifting strategy considerations.
  • How portfolio allocations might change after the sunset provision occurs.

“This is probably the best money I have ever spent. I love fpPathfinder!”
— Phillip, an advisor in North Carolina
“With all the aspects of running a business, working with varying client scenarios, and knowing how much information is available, I like being able to look at a flowchart and just see what I need to see.”
— Mike, a financial advisor
“I had my own internal set of workflows, but by piggybacking fpPathfinder, I've saved who knows how many hours. It's a great product and I'll be a subscriber for years.”
— An advisor in Texas
“fpPathfinder is a great tool! It mirrors much of what I've developed on my own for tax planning, life events, etc. However, it's been great to double-check my own work in those areas and also to motivate me to deepen my knowledge on other topics”
— Jonathan, an advisor in Colorado
“With working from home most of 2020, we wanted to still catch some face time with our clients. We used the checklists and flowcharts to conduct webinars covering various topics. In fact, having the charts readily available, we were able to do many of these on a weekly basis, knowing the material was pretty much already established. We had such great feedback that we are continuing the webinars into 2021. We have many that actually look forward to our meeting times, and found being able to have the flowchart or checklist available to work on their own later was an added bonus.”
— An advisor in Texas
“I think fpPathfinder is the best tool I’ve ever seen in the financial planning realm. I spend an unbelievable amount of time researching some of these issues that have been boiled down to one page: consulting with other experts, citing specific sources as a backup, reviewing my work, and coming to a final conclusion.”
— Jeff S, an advisor in Missouri
“Thank you for creating a robust, yet very practical, planning tool.”
— Andy, an advisor in Florida
