Private Wealth Services: Alert - November 26, 2008

A tumultuous 2008 – marked by a financial crisis many economists consider to be the greatest since the 1930s – is rapidly coming to an end.

This alert covers recommendations for 2008 year-end tax planning and incorporates some new options resulting from the recent enactment of the EESA. Due consideration must also be given to many of Mr. Obama’s proposed tax changes (or some iterations thereof) that will likely be adopted in 2009 making the tax planning process even more challenging in 2008.
