Tax Planning
Tax Planning, especially at year end, can be complicated when you begin to consider deferring income, accelerating deductions, factoring in the AMT (alternative minimum tax), and taking full advantage of tax-advantaged retirement savings vehicles. We help you simplify these complex tax strategies and offer guidance with tax-loss harvesting. For example, year-end is a good time to evaluate whether it makes sense to convert a tax-deferred savings vehicle like a traditional IRA or a 401(k) account to a Roth account. Higher-income individuals have additional concerns to consider, such as capital gains and qualifying dividends being taxed at the maximum 20% rate. Contact us today so we can help you integrate comprehensive tax planning as part of your whole financial picture.
