The document discusses key points and tax planning opportunities in light of the recently released Republican tax reform framework. It notes that enactment of tax reform is still a top priority but may slip into early 2018 given the tight timeline. It recommends that individuals take proactive measures to plan for changes, such as the elimination of certain tax breaks for wealthy taxpayers. Key elements of the framework include reduced corporate and small business tax rates but possible higher individual rates, elimination of most itemized deductions besides mortgage interest and charity, and repeal of the estate tax. Careful calculations are needed to understand the potential impact on individuals given different income sources and deductions.
