Tax Planning vs. Tax Reporting?

Fri, 24 Sep 2021 08:00:00 -0400

Timing is everything but so is action. Learn how to engage in tax planning before it's too late.

Think of tax planning as Annie Duke calls a freeroll. A freeroll is a great decision-making tool because the downside cost is very minimal compared to the potential rewards. Yes, there is time, energy, and perhaps a consulting fee involved, but the upside can be huge if you do it. You may waste a couple of hours of your life. Or, you might find a step or two that can save you thousands or even more over time.

Pay Off Debt vs. Save More?

Thu, 23 Sep 2021 08:00:00 -0400

Opportunity cost vs. guarantees. Tune in for what you need to know about investing and debt.

When times are good, and returns seem easy, this question is often answered mathematically. Over time though, the difficulty in measuring emotional consequences determines the results. The math, the emotional turmoil and other factors need to all be incorporated before making a decision.

Suitability vs. Fiduciary?

Tue, 21 Sep 2021 08:00:00 -0400

Who is your fiduciary? What is the job description? Join us on Consider This Program as we discuss the differences that matter to you.

Fiduciary risks are becoming a buzzword with such prominent use. Proposed legislation mandating fiduciary standards may have failed, but they at least prompted many to adopt and promote the term. It's important to learn this function because otherwise, it would be like a coach sending his football team on the field without nominating a quarterback.

How Your RMD Year Affects Your Taxes

Fri, 17 Sep 2021 08:00:00 -0400

Many celebrated when the age was moved from 70 1⁄2 to 72; we did too. And not for reasons you might think. We cheered because of taxes. And no, not because you would pay more, but because we gained a few more years of good tax planning. And don't forget qualified charitable distributions. They still have a part to play, even if your RMD was delayed.

Safety Net - How Drawdown Protection Works

Thu, 09 Sep 2021 08:00:00 -0400

What can you do to protect against market drawdown? Find out as we explore options on Consider this program.

The distribution phase of finance comes with unique challenges. Insurance companies want you to believe that annuities are the only answer to hedge market risk. This is incorrect, as investment tools have evolved and grown over time. Not to mention retirement is not simply a factor of managing market risk.

What To Do When Your Best Laid Plans Go Astray – Changes In Your Financial Phase

Fri, 11 Jun 2021 08:00:00 -0400

There are three distinct phases of finance that we all go through. It is not age dependent. Each phase has unique objectives that must be stressed. Always begin with the end in mind. Why are you saving? How will you get the money out? How much do you need? Based on your previous experience, current situation, and future hopes and dreams, what would be wise for you to do at this time. Many times people's lives are disrupted. We had the best of intentions, but things changed. Job, relationships, health, and a myriad of other issues can throw us off track. You can deal with the three phases of finance at almost any age while you are still working. Here is how you do it and what to consider.

Navigating Combining Assets From A Second Marriage

Thu, 10 Jun 2021 08:00:00 -0400

Combining your assets needs to be discussed before marriage. We see people who keep everything separate (usually they have kids from a previous relationship) and those that combine everything. Regardless of the assets, you will have a single tax return that you should not separate. What one person does will impact the other from a tax standpoint. (We have families that do separate taxes and then combine for the IRS, this shows the individual liability) Retirement assets at work will go to the current spouse. (Prenutuals don't work, but post-nuptials do) Debts, income, assets, houses, etc., all come into play.

What to do first when you lose a spouse.

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 08:00:00 -0400

Life comes quickly, and the IRS has no sympathy. Unless you have a minor child, this will be the last year to file a joint tax return regardless of what time of year that you lost your spouse. Margin compression (expansion of your marginal tax rate), standard deduction amounts, RMD's, and Social Security are all issues of things to consider on top of the emotional strain

Planning For A Job Loss, Before It Happens

Tue, 08 Jun 2021 08:00:00 -0400

Rarely is a job loss expected, and rarely is anyone prepared for it. Lay-offs or downsizing can sometimes be predicted. It can be the sale of a business, a new manager, a change in the economy, or it can come out of the blue. Your job is to be prepared for the inevitable (access to cash) and be as valuable as you can to the organization before the downsizing. You will need to address future income streams, unemployment, interviewing, and what to do with your previous retirement savings. How do you access emergency funds from your retirement?

What Is A Special Needs Trust And Do You Need One?

Fri, 21 May 2021 08:00:00 -0400

You most likely want to treat all your kids equally. That is normal, whether it be on Christmas gifts or what's in your Will or Trust for them after you are gone. When you have a Special Needs Beneficiary, what you leave must be treated and accounted for differently than your other heirs. Lack of planning could mean government benefits can be lost, resources are wasted, and your generosity lost. There are many things to consider with Special Needs Beneficiaries.

Your Heirs Need To Know About This Tax Code Change

Wed, 19 May 2021 08:00:00 -0400

No one presumed in 1980, the year of the first 401(k), that anyone would have $500k, $1m, or more in an account. Over time things changed, as did things you should consider. The Secure Act eliminated the Stretch, and the value of your accounts upon your demise can either positively or negatively impact your heirs. There are solutions to make sure your heirs are benefited, not hindered upon your passing.

Do you know one the stiffest penalties in the tax code could impact your IRA?

Fri, 14 May 2021 08:00:00 -0400

Age 72 is the new age requirement for beginning Required Minimum Distributions (RMD's). The penalty for not taking the correct withdrawal is 50% so you have to get this right! The word "Required" should clue you into the fact that the IRS is serious about these withdrawals.

Should you start using your IRA money before your required starting date?

Thu, 13 May 2021 08:00:00 -0400

59.5 is the age where the 10% federal withdrawal penalty goes away. This is true of IRA's and most company plans. How you coordinate your distribution strategy is both a question of income and of age.

Tue, 11 May 2021 08:00:00 -0400

Uniform Transfers To Minors (UTMA) provides a mechanism for investing assets for minor children. The age of majority varies from state to state.

Do You Understand How Inflation Can Wreck Your Retirement?

Tue, 04 May 2021 08:00:00 -0400

Inflation is usually slow to show up, like gaining a pound or two a year. Typically, it doesn't make a great deal of difference until it does. The destruction of your purchasing power - a dollar buying less today than it did in the past - is one of the four issues for a Fiduciary. Understanding inflation, the value of the dollar, and your future needs and expectations will help you build the right retirement strategy.

Why You Should Reduce The Number Of Your Accounts

Wed, 28 Apr 2021 08:00:00 -0400

Very often we hear people say they don't want to keep all their financial eggs in one basket. The feeling of having accounts with multiple advisors and banks brings a sense of safety to families that they will not lose all their money. Call it financial institution diversification. This may have made sense in another time, but we know that lowering the number of your accounts reduces stress and provides advisors a better chance to manage investments and control taxation.

Even more people don't know why it could be beneficial to move your 401(k) assets into an IRA.

Efficiently dividing assets in a divorce can make a bad situation a little more bearable.

Fri, 19 Mar 2021 08:00:00 -0400

QDRO is an acronym for Qualified Domestic Relations Order. In the case of a divorce where assets are held subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security ACT (ERISA) rules those assets are viewed as joint marital assets.

What Is The Difference Between A Trust And A Trust Protector?

Wed, 17 Mar 2021 08:00:00 -0400

According to the dictionary, a Trust is a legal relationship whereby an individual or couple (settlors) places their assets into the Trust. The trust now holds this property as its nominal owner for the good of one or more beneficiaries. The owners of the trust appoint "Trustees" who upon the owner's death will take over the administration of the trust duties.

Why A Retirement Budget Is Key

Wed, 10 Mar 2021 09:00:00 -0400

If you are similar to most people, the term budget is a nasty six-letter word that no one likes. What do you mean I have to track where I am spending? Balance a checkbook; what does that mean? Better yet, what is a checkbook? I, too, feel this way, but I do know what a checkbook is! For most people, budgeting is not fun, and it doesn't come easy when you have more month left than money in the bank account. However, if you were fortunate enough over your career to save some money and are considering retiring, the word budget should be significant to you. It is so important that it could jeopardize your retirement altogether.

How Emotional Trading Can Wreck Your Retirement

Tue, 09 Mar 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Emotions play a role in many facets of life, and many of us experience several of them daily. You may experience pure joy and happiness when a child is born and anger when that child does something to upset you later on in life. Everyday emotions play into our decision-making. Some people avoid swimming in the ocean because a shark could bite them. They let the fear of being bitten by a shark steal the enjoyment of swimming in the sea. Some of the same emotions that drive our daily decision-making can also steer our decisions when investing in the stock market. In the world of finance, this is called emotional trading or behavioral finance.

Drawdown Protection

Fri, 05 Mar 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Drawdown refers to the decline in value from a prior high. Headlines are everywhere (and in many cases should be) with so many different investment classes seemingly on their way to the moon. For many permabears out there (investment strategists who sell doom and gloom), this also is a phrase they have recycled many times over the past decade.

Savings Then Distribution

Thu, 04 Mar 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Investment skill and market results are the two dominant go-to factors for a successful journey from saving to and through retirement. But the luck of timing (the era in which you begin saving and then the era in which you begin dissaving) can be an even more important factor than those two.

Housing Market

Tue, 02 Mar 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Housing prices have moved up strongly over the past year and a half or so to fully recover (and then some) the lost ground from the 2008 housing crisis. The pandemic has created abrupt changes to the housing market dynamics – likely in ways we have only begun to understand. But rising interest rates and a haunting memory from that not-so-distant crash lurk in the shadows.

Conflicts of Interest

Tue, 09 Feb 2021 09:00:00 -0400

You need to be aware of conflicts of interest when it comes to hiring a new financial advisor. We all have conflicts of interest in one way or another, even myself at Financial Enhancement Group. Any time someone is going to benefit from the advice they are giving you, they need to acknowledge it and demonstrate how it still benefits you. The value you are getting should supersede any money you are spending. Since only about 10% of the United States work with a fiduciary, most people are faced with someone who is only looking to sell something. When separating from your job you need to be aware of all the options for your 401(k). Just because you can do something with your 401(k) when you leave does not mean you should. There are lots of factors that need to be taken into consideration.

V Is For Victory - It Takes Combining Every Player In The Retirement Plan To Work In Sync

Fri, 05 Feb 2021 09:00:00 -0400

When it comes to your retirement plan, every decision impacts another. Learn why most decisions cannot be made independently.

There's a quote from Mark Twain which says, "When you find yourself agreeing with the masses, it's time to pause and reflect."

There are many strategies for a successful retirement, but also critical decisions that have to be made beforehand if they are going to work. Determining whether to draw Social Security at 62 as a means of monthly income, or using retirement savings instead and deferring Social Security while the benefit grows, is one of those decisions. This may reduce your retirement savings at first, but when you do finally take Social Security and the monthly income is larger, you are able to rebound. Thus creating a "V". We call this V for Victory.

Should You Accept The 2020 Coronavirus Distribution Gift Or Send It Back

Fri, 29 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Congress is trying to figure out a way to keep us alive. It's not our job to figure out ways to manipulate the tax code during a pandemic. However, if you did take a Coronavirus related distribution, find a way to get that back in there. Essentially, when you take those distributions, it does terrible things to you long-term. Find someone who is going to take care of you. Find a person that will put themselves in your situation. For those of you who got the support you need, it will be critical to find ways to put that money back.

Social Security Isn't Necessarily The Best Gift You Receive At Age 62

Thu, 28 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Should you take social security now? Well, what is your age today? Most people believe that they want to take social security at age 62. However, most people can't answer why they want to do it. Not many people really understand that genesis of it. Primarily, it comes from pension funds. At GM – you would get a pension. Then, you would get a bump until age 62; then, the bump would disappear.

When you're taking social security early, most people don't realize that you take a negative 6% cut every year you take it early. 62 is the first year that you can take it, but every year you delay taking social security, you gain 8%. Remember, retirement is all about income, not about assets. Social security dupes people into accepting the money sooner. Overall, if you knew what social security was really worth, you probably wouldn't take it quite as early as you think.

What Happens When Your Bond Reaches Its Maturity Date

Wed, 27 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0400

One of the reasons that Wall Street loves bonds is that they mature. Then, you have to redo something with capital. About 68-70% of the market is actually driven by bonds. You would think that the stock market is larger; however, it's not. Bonds mature, they die, then capital needs to be replenished. Here's more about the lifespan of a bond:

An organization needs to raise capital. So, they raise capital through bonds. Throughout that time, they also give coupons.
Once the bond is issued, people can buy it.
When you buy it, you own that bond until it matures.
At that point, you are given back the principle and whatever coupons were promised.
The coupons are paid; they don't accumulate.

What happens inside of the bond arena? Wall Street really does not care who gives them the money for that bond. They are looking for the most amount of capital they can get. The companies that issue the bonds are not interested in the lower tax bracket. Instead, they are interested in people who have all of the cash. Generally, they want people who can write big checks.

68% of bonds are never sold. In the world that we live in today, we are able to buy bonds of any duration (the risk you deal with). You are able to buy bonds that mature at different times in different baskets. When should you buy a bond? Well, it depends. Be cautious about what is going on around you, and know what you are trying to accomplish in the long-run.

Turning 72 Is More Than Just Receiving Gifts

Tue, 26 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Pulling money out of your accounts does not feel natural because you spent all your time putting that money in there. Another reason people do not pull money out of their accounts is that they don't need it! Lastly, there's a fear of running out of money. Those are the three pain points for why people do not take their money out of accounts. When it comes to the Required Minimum Distribution, you need to understand that your retirement dollars will exit. They will either exit by your own design, they can exit by the force of the IRS (with a 50% penalty), or you let lawyers settle it. For most people, they should design a plan.

So, what has changed with Required Minimum Distributions? Going into the CARES act, you did not have to take the Required Minimum Distribution. Luckily, you get another year to delay. With the SECURE act, we have a limited distribution schedule – it's ten years. Nonetheless, you have to be careful that your thought process is solid. At the end of the ten years, the account needs to be empty. So, it's time to make a plan!

What To Know If You Live In Two States

Fri, 22 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Your trust is still valid if you move to another state. The trust can travel from state to state. When you create a trust in Indiana, it is considered an Indiana trust even after moving to Arizona. If you own property in multiple states, you will go into probate in numerous states. If you own a trust, then you won't go through probate at all provided you have funded the trust with those properties. When moving states, determine which state has the best trust code for you.

Home Is Where Your Domicile Is

Thu, 21 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0400

You should not maintain your student loans to build credit. If you have $40,000 of student debt, then you've already started to build credit. After making some payments, that will help build credit. If you haven't made any payments yet, then start doing that before you do anything else. All tax policy is social policy. There will be an awful lot of things that could help with student loan debt coming up. It may be worth it to wait and see what happens.

Determining your domicile is difficult. There are versions of things that matter, but that is not always a guarantee. For a state to become your domicile, you must be in that state for a certain number of days. The number of days you spend in the state does matter. Maintaining your domicile is not as difficult as changing your domicile. All the states want you to live there. When you spend nine months in Florida, that does not mean you can simply declare your domicile is in Florida. It doesn't work like that! All states have to have revenue. What you really want to do is find out which state will provide you with the best tax opportunity.

The IRS doesn't care where you live; the state cares where you live. An average American won't have a lot of issues. If someone is paying over $1,000,000 to a state government and then they pick up and go, the state will care. Some states will continue to tax you when you leave that state. From a political standpoint, it's going to be interesting how they change the tax code.

Unless you have a family that would take the place in Florida, then Joe would almost always encourage people to rent because you have more flexibility. Some people will stay in Florida forever. However, many people will decide when they're older that they don't want to live like snowbirds anymore. If you do own a second home, then you can deduct both mortgage interests. If you have a big RV, then the mortgage interest is part of that deduction as well.

When Snowbirds Can't Fly

Wed, 20 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Most snowbirds come from Canada. Michigan, New York, and Ohio make up the next three states of snowbirds. These snowbirds will choose either Florida or Arizona for the winter. Also, Nevada and Texas are other big snowbird states. Snowbirds tend to be baby boomers between the ages of 55 and 75. Plus, they are well educated, financially secure, and active. The Canadian borders were closed in 2020; that is why many snowbirds couldn't make it this winter season. The impact to the US economy was tragic.

When you do a conversion, you take money out of an existing IRA and roll it into a Roth IRA. You have to wait five years to be able to have access to any of that money unless you are over 59.5. If you have earned income, and qualify based on income limits, you can contribute $7,000 to a Roth IRA. Ideally, it would be best if you made a contribution before you do a conversion.

What To Know About Coronavirus Relief In 2021

Tue, 19 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0400

For individuals, there is a $600 stimulus payment for each individual and each qualifying child. It starts phasing out at $75,000 for individuals and $150,000 for couples. Most people who got the first stimulus payment should have already received the second payment by now. On www.IRS.gov there is a place where you can check in about your stimulus check. This check is an advance of your 2020 tax credit. Don't worry if you didn't get it. There is still an opportunity to get it when you file your 2020 tax return.

This credit is very confusing to people. So, the stimulus payment is a credit – there is no repayment, and it is not taxable. When they sent out the advance, they looked at your 2018 or 2019 tax return. If your return was lower in those years, then you got the credit. When you file your 2020 tax return, and your income is higher, you still don't have to pay it back if you don't qualify for it anymore. Check with your tax professional if you need more guidance on what you are eligible for.

Why Empty Nesting Is Not All It's Cracked Up To Be

Fri, 15 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Empty nesting is not all that it is cracked up to be. When the kids are finally gone, and you have some extra money, what should you do? The last thing you want to have happen is that your standard of living dramatically rises. You've been saving and accumulating money for your retirement based on a certain margin. With an extra $1,000 a month, it's easy to take that money and increase your standard of living. If this happens, then you will need to squeeze in an extra $1,000 to maintain your standard of living down the road. So should you pay down debt, or should you save it? Either is fine, just don't spend that money. Remember, the more you put into accounts, the more you're going to have.

Beginning A New Life After Work

Thu, 14 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0400

What is a safe amount of money we can withdraw from our portfolio? If you are in your early sixties, you are looking at 3.2% that you can pull out with reasonable certainty that you will be okay. However, this is assuming that you have a financial manager that is managing your portfolio correctly. When you're over 70, then you can pull out 4%. You can pull out more because you are not going to live as long. At this point, you have to be willing to accept and understand your level of risk tolerance. The worst thing that can happen is panicking when the market starts to crash.

When is the best time to take social security? The longer you wait to take social security, the better it will work out for you, assuming that your health is in good order. The more money you have in tax-deferred accounts, the longer you are able to wait. Finances are a journey, and you have saved this money over an extended period. Remember not to use short-term thinking when it comes to your finances.

What To Do After The Loss Of A Spouse

Wed, 13 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0400

After the loss of a spouse, don't do anything for the next ninety days to six months because you will act emotionally. However, that's limited advice. There are two different people that can inherit a Roth IRA: a spouse or a non-spouse. If a spouse inherits it, they can roll it over into one name. Something to consider: with an IRA, you have to wait until 59.5 to get it out. Otherwise, you can elect to take it as an inherited IRA where you have access to the money, and there is no penalty for taking the money out before 59.5. If the living spouse doesn't have a job, they may want to recognize money from that IRA at a much lower tax bracket than they may find themselves in future years. Make lemonade out of lemons and be smart with what's going on.

About The 5-Year Roth IRA Rule

Tue, 12 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0400

If you have earned income and it's not too high, you can put in $7,000 as a contribution. You will pay taxes on this money. However, you will not pay taxes on the growth of this money. You will always have access to your contribution once you've made the first deposit. Also, you should never pull the money out unless it's an emergency. Once you open the Roth IRA, a clock starts to tick. The 5-year clock gives you access to contributions without any penalty, and you will have access to the amount of earnings in there without any penalty. The clock will start on January 1st of the year you make the deposit. When you think about the Roth, you can think about tax breaks.

Understanding How To Harvest Losses

Fri, 08 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0400

You can capture a loss by selling your shares in one company and buying shares in another similar company. It keeps us from being trapped. Keep in mind though, when we talk about a capital loss, it never deals with an IRA or a 401(k). There are rules to harvesting losses. You can use all of your losses, up to all of your gains, plus an additional $3,000. The losses never run out. From a tax stand point, if you file a joint 1040 it represents a spouse and spouse relationship. So if one spouse dies, half of those capital losses disappear.

Successful Habits To Teach Your Children

Thu, 07 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0400

As a parent, you teach by example. You should lead by example and encourage your children to pick up habits. In a perfect world, your children should start saving their money between the age of three and five. A great idea is to use three mason jars to hold money for your kids: one jar for spending, one jar for saving, and one jar for giving. Children understand these three concepts.

However, there's a fourth jar that most parents often miss: Taxes. For now, start with three and then add the tax jar when your children start to mature. The jar method works far better when the children actually earn the money for their jars. For instance, you can give them money in exchange for doing chores. Take time as you go through the process of teaching your children about money. Don't be afraid to repeat yourself; it's going to take a decent amount of time for them to understand all the concepts. Also, have a real talk about money and what it does. For instance, tell them it's not free; it has to be earned. At some point in time, your children will have to save money. It's essential to prepare them ahead of time.

A Lesson About Recessions

Wed, 06 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0400

The word recession gets thrown around in the news all the time, but how do we know if we are really in a recession or not? The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) is who can determine whether we are in a recession. The formal label "Recession" becomes official well after the fact. Normally a recession is not declared until twelve months after it occurs. A recession typically happens every four or five years. So, what should you do as an investor to prepare for a recession? As an investor during a recession, you want to run for the hills! It can be excruciating to watch your stocks go down for twelve months straight. However, you can't actually run for the hills. Instead, look at the sectors you are invested in because some do better than others during a recession. In other words, focus on turning lemons into lemonade.

How Annuities Actually Work

Tue, 05 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0400

If you must use an annuity, Joe recommends to use a "no-load" annuity because it is a type of retirement investment that charges lower fees. Plus, these annuities are sold by people who are not commission-based brokers as is usually the case. Instead, these annuities are sold directly by financial institutions. If someone needs an immediate income guaranteed over a certain period of time, then an annuity can be of great assistance. In most cases however, there are better options.
