Key Principles of Tax-Efficient Investing Techniques

1. Choose the right deduction
There are two main types of deduction – standard vs itemized. Choosing the one that provides the most benefit will help reduce your payments and lower your liability.
2. Leverage tax credits
Tax credits are government-backed assistance that lowers your liability dollar for dollar. They are more valuable than deductions so be sure to leverage them. The standard deduction decreases your income by $12,600 if you are married and filing jointly. Other different deduction amounts depend on the filing status.
3. Keep all your paperwork
Keeping your paperwork in order will help ensure that you are getting the most out of your tax benefits. This includes receipts and documentation that will help support your deductions or credits. You should also keep copies of your filed returns – at least for the past three years. However, you must keep good records and stay within the deduction rules.
4. Work with a professional
Finally, and the most important principle of them all, working with an expert. An investment management financial advisor can help you navigate complex tax rules, design tax efficient solutions, and make informed decisions. So, if you have a mortgage, your estate planning advisor can identify your tax-deductible interest and reduce your income.

5 Tax-Efficient Investing Strategies For Tax-Aware Investors

Ready to get started with wealth and tax management? Here are some strategies that can help.

  • Contribute to tax-efficient accounts

Making contributions to accounts like Roth IRAs, tax-free municipal bonds is one of the best strategies to lower your burden long-term. If you’re an accredited investor, you may want to consider using various types of grantor trusts to reduce your taxes each year.

  • Diversify your account types

Splitting your assets into three tax buckets (taxable, tax-free and tax-deferred) can help you control how much you pay the government every year. For example, you can buy a mutual fund that pays tax-efficient qualified dividends, another that distributes tax-free interest and a third that buys high growth stocks inside your Roth 401k or IRA. The possibilities are almost endless and can be applied to your real estate holdings and business as well.

  • Engage in tax-loss harvesting

If you have assets that are losing money, you can use tax-loss harvesting to offset some or all of your gains now and in the future. This involves selling your losing assets and using the losses to offset gains from other portfolios. You can then plow back the money you’ve saved into other portfolios. Personal indexing is another more sophisticated way to use tax-loss harvesting to generate five to 15 percent losses annually, while still generating a positive return of an index fund.

  • Max out contributions to your retirement account

If you have a 401(k), maxing it out – contributing up to $22,500 per year will help reduce your current liability and also allows your portfolio to grow tax-deferred over time. If you own a business, hiring your spouse and then having then contribute 100% of their wages to their 401k can double your annual savings while reducing your business expenses.

  • Take Advantage of Capital Gain Bracket Stuffing

For example, if you retire before 60 and are living off your investment portfolio you have the ability to get a zero percent federal capital gain on the first $115,000 of your AGI for married filing jointly. You can also use this strategy to reset some of your low cost basis stock that you may want to sell in future years that you are planning on selling.
