Year-end Tax Planning
With the year coming to a close, now is an important time to be thinking about ways to save on taxes for 2020 and possibly 2021. Year-end tax planning and projections are especially valuable this year as new guidance was released on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) as well as the Families First Coronavirus Response Act and the Coronavirus Aide, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act having an effect on the TCJA.
Many of the decisions made during the year can have a major impact on tax returns. Making financial considerations for the following may help lower your tax bill:
- Selling stock or property
- Charitable donations of stock and other property
- Gifts of money or property to children (or others!)
- Accelerating deductions and deferring income
- Net operating losses
- Bonus depreciation and cost segregation studies
- Tax implications of withdrawing from an IRA, profit-sharing or other retirement plans
- IRA conversions
- Planning regarding the Code Sec.199A qualified business income deduction
