2025 Tax Planning Changes

From SALT Relief to Senior Bonus

The recently-passed Big Beautiful Bill brings some of the most impactful tax law changes in years, with new opportunities – and pitfalls – for families, retirees, and business owners alike. In this 30-minute webinar, we’ll break down the five most important changes you need to know about and show you how to take advantage of them.

We’ll cover:

  • How the new tax law changes affect your income, deductions, and retirement planning – and what actions to consider before the rules sunset.

  • What the higher SALT cap, estate exemption, and gift limits mean for families and business owners, especially in New York and other high-tax states.

  • Common misconceptions about Social Security and other new provisions – and how to avoid costly mistakes.

About the Presenters

Chris Gardner, CFP®

Founder & Parkwoods Head of Advisory

Hi, I’m Chris Gardner, and I have the privilege of working with a group of wonderful people that have entrusted me and my team to help them achieve their financial goals. This is a responsibility I do not take lightly. My mission in my work is not only to help people achieve financial security and independence, but to make personal finance more personal.

In 2016, Lori gave birth to our identical twin boys. Nathan and Charlie were born 15 weeks premature. As excited as I was, their grim medical condition turned my world on its head. We spent many fearful months in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit facing life-or-death situations on what seemed like an hourly basis. This experience changed my life, and reinforced to me the importance of my role as a father, husband, and personal financial advisor. It changed the way I view helping people.

My sons are healthy, rambunctious boys now. But my perspective on serving you has been forever changed. I wrote about this experience in my book, “A Very Personal Finance Story,” let me know if you would like a copy!

I would love to help you find the financial peace of mind you deserve, so you can live the life you love.
