Tax Planning in Scottsdale AZ
Sometimes the best way to grow your wealth is by keeping more of what you’ve already earned. That’s where tax planning comes in. Our goal is to provide strategies that focus on tax-exempt income planning versus taxable income planning. We also include an analysis of your Social Security benefit to see if your monthly payments will be taxable, up to 85% taxable by law if your income is higher than $44,000 ($34,000 if you’re single!) Then, we can help you convert tax-deferred funds or create tax-free streams of income to use in the future.
What Is Tax Planning?
Tax planning not only looks at the current tax year, but looks ahead into the future. For instance, many people think they have saved a lot of money for retirement in a traditional 401(k) account. But what they may forget is that if they are in a higher tax bracket, they may have to pay from 20 to 30% of this amount in federal taxes. And beginning at age 73, they must take annual required minimum distributions and pay ordinary income taxes on their withdrawals. Tax planning for your future retirement is something we provide. Premier Southwest Planning will help you calculate your RMDs, and in conjunction with your CPA, see if Roth conversions might reduce your tax burden for the long-term.
