Many investors are wondering where taxes could be headed under the Biden administration.

Bill Cass, CFP® and CPWA®, Director of Wealth Management Programs, and Chris Hennessey, J.D. and C.P.A., Financial Planner and Professor Emeritus of Law, Babson College, recently joined Putnam Portfolio Manager Paul Drury, for a webcast to discuss the current tax landscape, planning strategies for investors, and outlook for the municipal bond market.

Here’s a snapshot of what Putnam’s experts covered:

  • What’s the probability and timing of potential tax increases in 2021? Is there a chance that changes could be applied retroactively?
  • What type of tax increases are more likely to be targeted, and those that are less likely?
  • What tax planning conversations are most timely right now to engage clients and prospects?
  • How might the COVID relief plan being deliberated on Capitol Hill impact the municipal bond market?
  • Where are the current opportunities in the tax-free, fixed income space?

In addition, during the webcast we asked more than 300 advisors for their thoughts on what type of tax increase was most likely in 2021.
