Waiting until just before April 15 to start thinking about your taxes may prove to be a costly mistake. Lowering your tax bill involves careful planning. A good tax strategy takes into consideration two time frames – “now” the 12 months of the current tax year, and “later” covers long-range tax strategies that benefit your future.
As you know, tax laws change often. Therefore, lowering your tax bill involves careful planning. In fact, there’s hardly an aspect of your financial situation—savings, education, real estate, investments, retirement funding, and estate planning—that isn’t influenced by changing tax law. In recent years, historic tax reform has provided significant savings for individuals, families, and investors. However, many of these opportunities are temporary.
This information has been developed to help you make the most of current, temporary tax breaks and help you minimize your tax liabilities and maximize your potential savings.
Tax planning is especially important if your circumstances have changed. As you begin preparing your taxes, think about the life changes you have experienced in the past tax year.
As you can see, life changes are relevant to planning your tax strategies.
Waiting until just before April 15 to start thinking about your taxes may prove to be a costly mistake. Like your financial strategy, your tax strategy operates in two time frames—now and later.
“Now” covers the 12 months of the current tax year. The specifics of your income and the deductions available to you will certainly change from year to year according to your changing circumstances, and you may be able to save money now by making small changes.
“Later” covers long-range tax strategies that benefit your future, such as maximizing the tax-deferred savings offered by a qualified retirement plan like a 401(k). Either way, timing is critical, and your planning can make a significant difference.
By coordinating your tax strategies with your life changes and financial strategies, you may accomplish a variety of goals, such as buying a home, funding a child’s education, and funding your retirement.
