Guest: Bob Keebler, CPA/PFS
On Wednesday, April 28th, President Biden gave his first congressional address. As part of his plan for the nation, he proposed a long term capital gain rate of 39.6% for households with income over 1 million, restoration of the top marginal tax rate of 39.6% for those earning over $400,000, and elimination of the step up in basis at death. Given the forward momentum for forced recognition of capital gains at death, this episode of the PFP Section podcast covers client scenarios and all the details we know at this point so that you can have initial discussions with clients on what may be ahead.
