The Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 impacted all U.S. taxpayers due to drastic changes in the tax code. Some of these changes were permanent, while others expire (or “sunset”) after December 31, 2025. This means that unless Congress acts, several provisions will revert to the way they were pre-TCJA as of January 1, 2026. Since it is impossible to predict what Congress will do before the end of 2025, there is a lot of uncertainty and potential for widespread changes.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today.

Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l
