Covisum Provides New Resources to Help Financial Advisors Navigate the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Changes to brackets, rates and deductions have financial advisors and their clients quickly looking for resources on how to best navigate the sweeping Tax Cuts and Jobs Act legislation. Today, Covisum, the developer of SmartRisk™, Social Security Timing^® and Tax Clarity™ software solutions for financial advisors, announced a free webinar to tackle what advisors need to know for 2018 and how to identify opportunities from changes in the tax law. Covisum President Joe Elsasser, CFP^®, RHU^®, REBC^® and Dave Cechanowicz, JD, MSFS, AIF^® AEP, a senior financial planner with REDW Stanley will headline the panel.

"Its been 30 years since there have been significant changes to the tax laws in the U.S., so for many advisors, this is the first time they are facing some incredibly tough questions from their clients on the subject," said Elsasser. "Our goals are simple, we want to help advisors strengthen their value to clients by showing ways to make smart decisions."

During the one-hour webinar on January 30, 2018, the presenters will address a variety of questions including:

• What are the significant changes to tax brackets and tax rates? And how will the changes affect your mass-affluent clients? 
• Given changes to standard deductions and the elimination of personal exemptions, how should you decide which accounts to harvest from and when? 
• What impact will the deduction for pass-through income have on your clients? 

Covisum recently announced the roll out of more than a dozen changes to its Tax Clarity™ software. With these changes, advisors can now confidently perform tax simulations for 2017 and 2018, showing their clients comparison reports based on various tax strategies and scenario planning.
