The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and SECURE Act 2.0 both contain tax law changes that many individual tax clients will be interested in. The IRA includes changes involving energy-related credits and credits for energy-efficient personal autos. These changes are immediately relevant to individual clients and as such, tax practitioners should be familiar with them. The SECURE Act 2.0 contains individual tax changes relating mostly to IRAs and qualified plans. Knowing about these changes is essential for any tax practitioner advising individual clients.
