The need for individual tax planning has never been greater. With the numerous enhancements made by the SECURE Act 2.0 and the Inflation Reduction Act and the elimination of itemized deductions by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, individuals will look to their personal goals and the tax formula as they develop their plans.

Examples of these approaches are illustrated as scores of tax strategies are presented.
