On July 4, 2025, a new wave of tax legislation was signed into law, bringing a fresh round of changes that will shape planning conversations in the months and years ahead. While any update to the tax code requires attention, this year’s changes offer a unique opportunity to revisit key assumptions, refine forecasts, and ensure your approach continues to reflect the current environment.
For those working to deliver thoughtful, long-term planning strategies, these changes will require some research and recalibration. Updates like inflation-adjusted deductions, income-based phaseouts, and shifts in charitable giving rules may not call for wholesale plan overhauls, but they do warrant a closer look at how strategies are being modeled, communicated, and implemented.
In many cases, what clients need most is confidence that their plan still works the way it was intended. Taking a fresh look at assumptions, platform settings, and key thresholds can reinforce that confidence and help uncover new planning opportunities along the way. Whether it’s exploring gifting strategies in light of new estate tax thresholds, fine-tuning projections for retirement income, or adjusting savings conversations based on updated credit amounts, these legislative changes are a helpful reminder that great planning is never one-and-done.
To help you navigate the updates, Orion has put together a concise, practical webinar that covers the most impactful provisions in plain language—along with how Orion Planning is evolving to support them. The session includes examples, insight into system-wide settings, and guidance for applying changes across your planning workflows.
