With a couple of weeks of the final quarter under our belt we thought it a good time to talk about year end tax planning.
Once again much of this has come as a result of questions from you guys in the field, so thank you very much for the idea!
If you’re on the edge of taking gains on assets, strongly consider taking some this year!
Given the current level of tax rates, no matter what the political outcomes it’s likely we are at a lowest tax rate for sometime to come.
The much-needed stimulus and in our opinion perfectly OK to use, will eventually need to be chipped away at in some form or fashion,
It is very likely that we may all see higher taxes in the not too distant future both from a Federal Income Tax Level and an Asset Capital Gains level as well.
If you’re planning on selling a business, stock, asset or anything that may realize any taxable event certainly consider doing it sooner as in possibly this year, rather than later.
We are by no means making a tax statement forecast but simply looking at the odds and attempting to give ourselves the best possible longer term outcome. Please don’t recklessly go realize gains and certainly check with your Tax professional before making moves!
Have a Great “Realized Tax Gains” Day!
