President-Elect Donald Trump's surprise victory last month
has generated significant interest in his vision for how tax reform
will help, to borrow from his campaign theme, Make America Great
Again. The unexpected speed with which he is filling his cabinet,
the Republican control over both the House and the Senate, and the

resolve and potentially the means to follow through with his
vision.
Trump's tax plans are housed on his website, and while
portions are provided in detail, others are somewhat general or
even vague, leaving us to interpret their meaning and speculate
their impact. The plans also have been changed more than once since
they were first rolled out during the campaign, and undoubtedly
will change again. The purpose of this article is to share an
overview and analysis of his tax plans based on the current
