2016 Presidential Candidates Tax Plans

“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Benjamin Franklin’s quote has definitely stood the test of time and since death is normally not a trendy subject at your cocktail parties or family gatherings, maybe taxes, whether good or bad, may be a more interesting subject for us to dive into.

With the upcoming 2016 Presidential Election, corporate and individual income taxes have once again become a featured topic in the Presidential debates, political talk shows, social media, and extended family dinner gatherings. By now each candidate has released some (or a lot) of details about their proposed tax plans.

Attached to this e-newsletter is a link to a PDF summary of the top Presidential candidate’s respective tax plans. The summary is broken down into 3 parts: Individual Income Tax, Corporate Income Tax, and Estate Tax. It is not intended to be all encompassing, but rather a one-page snapshot of the highlights of each candidate’s tax plan. The Iowa and New Hampshire Presidential primaries are just around the corner on February 1^st and February 9^th, respectively. Indiana’s Presidential primary is not until May 3^rd.

Neither Greenwalt CPAs or Brandon Cook is endorsing any particular political party, candidate, or tax plan and the candidates’ order on the PDF summary is separated by political party and sorted by last name.
