Have you been following the proposed Federal Tax Bill?

The bill is now on its way to the president's desk to be signed into law!

Below are a just a few of the highlights of the new law include:

• Pass-through filers earning under $315,000 (for married couples) can deduct 20 percent of their business income. For the typical small business with income of $100,000, that will reduce their taxes by thousands of dollars.

• The bill doubles the standard deduction, from $12,000 to $24,000 for married couples, and from $6,350 to $12,700 for individuals.

• It also allows small business owners to expense immediately the full cost of equipment.
