They also discuss the extension of lifetime estate and gift tax exemptions to $15 million, the return of 100% bonus depreciation for real estate investors, revamped opportunity zone investments starting in 2027, and enhanced qualified small business stock (1202) exclusions with reduced holding periods and increased limits.
