Written by Telemus | Nov 4, 2022 6:00:56 PM

Year-end is an ideal time to review your tax planning strategy and take strategic steps to reduce your tax burden for the coming tax season. With all the uncertainty in capital markets, the economy, and the tax landscape, it can be difficult to tell what opportunities are available to you. Fortunately, Telemus is here to help.

 

Telemus Senior Financial Life Advisor Bob Stone recently hosted a webinar on the upcoming tax season with Andy Bass, CPA, CWM®, PFS™. Bob and Andy discussed ways to prepare for tax season and outlined strategies that can help reduce your tax liability. Specifically, they covered:

  • How basic strategies, including charitable giving concepts, can help enhance your overall after-tax wealth
  • Why increasing interest rates change the landscape for shifting wealth including impacting charitable remainder trusts
  • How to shift a future stock market rebound to heirs, tax-free
  • Why you should start planning now for the income and estate tax increases set to take effect in 2026
