The White House and top GOP leaders released their tax reform outline yesterday, as President Trump plans to unveil the new Republican tax-reform plan this afternoon at the Farm Bureau Building in Indianapolis. 

The President plans to position the tax reform proposal as a populist plan, especially beneficial for low-income earners. Republicans plan to collapse the number of brackets from seven to three. The standard deduction would nearly double to $12,000 for a single filer and $24,000 for married couples, meaning President Trump can accurately argue that many more low income earners would pay no tax under his plan.

There will be continued debate over the plan once the House and Senate tax writing committees review the revenue effects of the plan. Revenue neutrality remains a goal of Senate Finance Chairman Orrin Hatch, whose focus is clearly on the international reforms contained in the outline. We will continue to keep you informed on how this tax plan unfolds this fall. 

What Does CohnReznick Think?
The outline released yesterday is an overview of the more significant proposals being discussed at this time. The final proposed legislation may differ considerably from what will ultimately be enacted. Given the possibility that tax reform may occur in the next year or so, individuals and businesses should monitor the tax reform proposals and developments, assess how such proposals will affect their particular facts and circumstances and incorporate the significant tax law changes into current planning. We will continue to monitor the latest legislative developments surrounding tax reform.

When you attend a networking event, ask questions and listen with interest. Don't make the mistake of discounting people due to their titles. Someone you meet may not be in need of your expertise at this time, but they may have valuable connections or knowledge that you would never learn about if you dismissed them. Before any conversation comes to a close, be sure to ask, "How can I help you?" Follow-up is key to success when building your network. This can consist of an email, notecard or phone call directly after the event. This contact may result in connecting other people to benefit their business and expand their own networks.

"Understand that networking is an ongoing process, not a discrete event. Success comes from consistently making new contacts, following up and keeping in touch." -Smartnetworking.com

Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno and Ambassador Phil Murphy are urging New Jerseyans to support the relief fund in Puerto Rico by donating to New Jersey for Puerto Rico Hurricane Relief. 

Fund organizers say cash donations are encouraged, as opposed to in-kind donations that require sorting, boxing and logistical expense. Cash donations allow reputable organizations, such as the New Jersey for Puerto Rico Hurricane Relief, to strategically support professional disaster relief agencies. The coalition has partnered with the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico and others to get immediate aid to the people of Puerto Rico. 

Please consider helping this effort. Visit nj4pr.org or call 1-833-NJ-HELPS to donate.
