Standard deduction which was doubled in this act, will be reduced from about 30,000 down to about half, to about 15,000," Feldman said.
Feldman specializes in providing accounting, tax and advisory services for family offices, financial service executives, real estate developers, entertainment professionals and wealthy individuals.
