We all knew that 2025 would be a watershed year for tax policy, with the expiration of several key provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) alone guaranteed a busy tax policy year. Now the 2024 elections are over, resulting in the election of President-elect Trump and a Republican Congress. On this episode of tax break, host Rob Kovacev is joined by Miller & Chevalier Tax Policy Co-Lead Jorge Castro to answer some pressing questions: Do the election results provide taxpayers with more certainty or less? What is likely to happen to TCJA? What are the other big changes that may happen to the tax code?
