Let's Talk Taxes: First Quarter Revisions, Interpretations, and Local Implications of the Tax Bill

Maggiano's Banquets 111 W. Grand Ave., Chicago, IL 60654

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
On December 22, 2017, President Donald Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law. The legislation makes significant changes to corporate and personal tax laws, including changes in rates, deductions and credits available to individuals and business entities. These developments may possess an unforeseen impact on cash gifts, gifts of securities, and planned giving.

While the new law likely impacts each of your benefactors differently, one constant is that philanthropy can and should be a part of the conversation about the changes. This session will expose the participants to:

• The key changes in the Tax Code.
• Ways to utilize those changes in conversations with potential and actual donors.
• Possible alterations in giving patterns from past practice.

Presented by:
 
Tim Bresnahan
Senior Director of Gift Planning for The Chicago Community Trust

Suzanne L. Shier
Wealth Planning Practice Executive & Chief Tax Strategist/Tax Counsel at The Northern Trust
