Fiscal Cliff Year End Tax Moves for 2012
This special report covers the details of many year-end tax strategies for 2012.
This is the time of year to look over your investments to see what opportunities you may have to reduce this year’s taxes. Well, the Fiscal Cliff and rising taxes next year are turning that thinking on its head. If your tax rates are higher next year, you may want to do the opposite of what you might normally do. This year you can avoid taking tax losses (offsetting income this year) because a tax loss is worth more to you next year if your tax rate is going to be higher. Similarly, rather than pushing off income into next year (if you can) you will want to accelerate income into this year as this year’s rate is projected to be lower. While both these strategies will increase the taxes you pay this year (you may be thinking I am crazy!), it can save you a significant amount of money over the next 18 months. Most people cannot time their income and deductions but your advisor should be reviewing your accounts to look for any opportunities that might be available.
