When looking across the planning landscape, it may seem the impact of recent legislation is clear. But as an advisor, you can never relax. New laws can send you scrambling to modify existing financial plans or implement different strategies altogether. Only by understanding this legislation — including what it means for your clients now and in the future — can you develop plans that meet clients' financial goals, while also providing flexibility to adapt to the constantly changing topography.
Quite a lot has been going on:
Final regs. address new dividends received deduction and reporting rules - Journal of Accountancy
Secs. 245A and 954(c)(6) were added to the Code by the law known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), P.L. 115-97, which was enacted on Dec. 22, 2017. Sec. 245A provides a 100% deduction to domestic corporations for certain dividends received from foreign corporations after Dec. 31, 2017. Sec. 954(c)(6) provides that a dividend received by a controlled foreign corporation (CFC), from a related CFC is not included in the recipient CFC's income subject to current tax under Secs.
The temporary regulations in T.D. 9865 and proposed regulations in REG-106282-18 limited the Sec. 245A deduction and the Sec. 954(c)(6) exception with respect to distributions supported by certain earnings and profits (E&P) not subject to the integrated international tax regime created by the TCJA.

Let's start with a small point of clarification: strictly speaking, "401(k)" refers to the ability of a worker to defer a part of their pay for retirement savings purposes, and to avoid taxes until the money is ultimately withdrawn. The deferral of employer contributions is not a part of section 401(k) of the relevant IRS tax code. Does Biden want to remove the tax preference for both workers' and employers' contributions to retirement plans, or only the former?

Trump delivered on some big 2016 promises | National | carolinacoastonline.com
FILE - In this June 23, 2020, file photo, President Donald Trump tours a section of the border wall in San Luis, Ariz. While Mexico never did pay for the "big, beautiful wall" Trump pledged to build along the southern border — the signature promise of his 2016 campaign — the project is now under way, with 450 miles expected to be completed by the end of December (only a fraction of that, however, has been built along stretches where no barrier stood before.)
