TAX PLANNING

Tax Planning

Tax planning for individuals involves analyzing and arranging one’s financial situation to maximize tax breaks and minimize tax liabilities in a legal and efficient manner.  Tax planning for a retirement plan involves taking advantage of tax-advantaged retirement accounts, maximizing social security income, Roth IRAs, and other strategies to minimize taxes on retirement savings. 

Here are a few strategies to consider:

  1. Start early: The earlier you begin saving for retirement, the more time you have to take advantage of tax-advantaged accounts, which can grow tax-free or tax-deferred.
  2. Maximize contributions: Contribute as much as possible and according to IRS contribution limitations to tax-advantaged retirement accounts each year. Some options are Index Universal Life – Cash Value Life Insurance, HSA – Health Savings Account and others. 
  3. Consider saving into a Roth IRA: A Roth IRA allows you to pay taxes on your contributions now, so you won’t have to pay taxes on your withdrawals in retirement. 
  4. Plan for required minimum distributions (RMDs): Traditional IRAs and 401(k)s require you to start taking minimum distributions at age 73, which are taxable as income. 
  5. A Charitable Remainder Trust (or CRT) is a “split interest” trust; that is, both the client and one or more charities have an interest in the trust assets.
  6. Create a Roth IRA conversion to reduce future taxes, considering your specific financial situation and goals.
