Tax Planning

Tax Planning can help you get the most out of your financial resources. 

We orient our tax planning efforts to help you answer questions, such as: 

• Should I contribute to my Roth 401k or Traditional 401k? Or both?
• Can I make a Backdoor Roth IRA contribution if I'm ineligible to make a regular Roth contribution?
• How can I know if a Roth Conversion is right for me this year?
  
• Is there anything I can do to adjust my Adjusted Gross Income to become eligible for a tax credit?
• What actions can I take to manage my tax bracket? 
• As a Small Business Owner, what can I do to reduce my taxable income while saving for my goals?
  
• How can I be tax efficient with my charitable giving goals?

• Educate you about tax law changes and adjust your Plan accordingly
• Advise on optimal retirement savings strategies (Roth v Traditional)
• Analyze your investment portfolio for tax-law harvesting
• Implement "Asset Location" strategies in your portfolio to shelter more income in tax-advantaged accounts
• Optimize your investments for tax efficiency
• Evaluate employer stock options strategies
• Manage your tax bracket management in retirement
• Analyze and advise regarding Roth Conversions
• Implement Charitable Giving strategies and administration (Donor-Advised Funds, etc)
• Integrate Tax Planning into your Retirement Income Distribution Plan
