2026 Year-End Tax Update: Planning for AEC Firms & Their Owners

For architecture, engineering, and construction firms, year-end planning is critical to uncovering cash-flow gaps, identifying strategic tax savings, and making informed decisions before the calendar turns.

Join Marla Miller and Chad Bumbaugh for a practical review of year-end tax planning strategies for AEC firms and their owners. We’ll examine significant tax law changes affecting 2026, explore planning considerations for firms experiencing either a strong or slower year, and highlight key decisions to evaluate before December 31. We’ll also look ahead to emerging considerations and potential tax planning implications for 2027.

After attending, participants will be able to:

• Identify significant tax law changes affecting AEC firms and their owners in 2026.
• Evaluate year-end tax planning opportunities based on projected firm income, capital investments, and research or Section 179D activities.
• Identify tax actions to consider before December 31 and incorporated relevant issues into 2027 tax planning, including how the 2026 midterm election results may influence the federal tax legislative process.
