SUMMARY:(SSTX686/26) Surgent’s Weekly Expert Hour: Special 2-Hour Edition – House Version of Ta Reform
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\nThe House of Representatives passed a version of President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” on May 22\, 2025. It contains significant tax law changes and a permanent enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). These changes must still go through the Senate\, and eventually both bodies have to agree on identical versions of the same tax reform provisions. Our program will examine the new changes enacted by the House\, and our panel will discuss the TCJA provisions that may become law. These topics have not yet been enacted into law\, but we believe many of them will be once they have gone through the Senate. \nPractitioners who attend this program will learn about all of these new proposed changes\, most of which we believe will be enacted shortly.
