Lawmakers pushed through the Inflation Reduction Act last week in Washington D.C. and the $370 billion piece of legislation will tackle a number of issues. The question, however, is how much it will actually offset the effects of inflation.

On this episode, we’ll take a close look at the IRA and break down the areas that might have the biggest impact on planning. You’ve probably read some of the headlines about 80,000+ new IRS agents, but what else do you need to know? One thing we’ll highlight on the show is the property tax freeze that impacts people in New Jersey.

That’s not the only legislation we’re keeping our eye on in Washington. The SECURE Act 2.0 Bill is being proposed and might become law in the near future. This one adds to its predecessor from a couple years ago and will also bring some key changes to RMDs and more.
