Corporations and wealthy taxpayers breathed a sigh of relief when Democrats' economic agenda stalled in the Senate late last year.
The roughly $2 trillion package—which the Biden administration branded "Build Back Better"—included a variety of tax hikes, including major changes for pass-through entities.
While corporations and high earners may have dodged anticipated tax increases last year, they aren't necessarily off the hook. The legislation remains stalled, but labor and environmental advocates are pushing for President Joe Biden to re-engage with holdout Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) in an effort to find a deal.
A pair of tax professionals appear on the latest episode of Talking Tax to discuss the Biden administration's stalled tax plans. Laura Zwicker, chair of the Private Client Services Group at Greenberg Glusker, covers how the proposals would effect her high-net-worth clients and what she is advising them to do while the legislation remains in limbo. Then Sarah Brodie, a partner at Morgan Lewis, highlights how partnerships dodged major changes to how they are taxed.
