As we approach the end of the year, it’s an opportune time to review and optimize your financial and tax strategies. Here are some key considerations:
1. Tax-Advantaged Accounts: Contribute fully to retirement accounts, including any plans offered by your employer. If you’re self-employed, there are options for you, too.
2. Gifting: Take advantage of the $19,000 annual gift tax exclusion per individual and consider the pros and cons of educational gifting.
3. Charitable Contributions: A large chunk of charitable giving occurs in December. Do you have a charitable giving strategy?
4. Estate Management: Explore strategies that can put you in better control of your estate.
5. Investments: Review your money decisions to see if your investments are working hard for you.
6. Income Timing: Don’t forget to evaluate the timing of income, such as bonuses.
These strategies may help as you review your financial position. For more insights, please reach out with specific concerns.
