Specifics of New Tax Legislation on the Agenda at the Association of Divorce Financial Planners 11th Annual Conference, September 19-21 in Chicago, Illinois
East Northport, NY (PRWEB) September 10, 2013 -- Mary Pat Wesche, principal at Forum Financial Management and partner in the Forum CPA Group, discusses how changes to tax legislation may affect personal tax strategies in divorce. Her presentation, “The Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012: Navigating the New Tax Environment”, will examine the new tax rates, as well as limitations on itemized deductions and personal exemptions. Wesche also covers planning strategies for income taxes, long-term wealth accumulation and estate taxes. Her session is scheduled for Saturday, September 21.
According to Wesche, the new legislation may mean unexpected surprises for taxpayers, particularly those in higher income brackets. “Understanding how the changes can affect your clients and planning for them is key,” she explained. “Ultimately you want to provide guidance that will help clients protect their assets.”
“With this tax year drawing to a close, tax legislation and what it means for divorcing clients’ portfolios is one of the most pertinent topics on the conference agenda,” said Andrew Samalin, president of ADFP. “Mary Pat Wesche clarifies complex issues in the new tax law and offers attendees practical suggestions for handling those issues.”
