Tax harvesting

The market has shown some signs that it might be turning around, but we’ve seen quite a bit of up-and-down over the past few years. These fluctuations have created some nice gains at times for investors, but a lack of tax planning can keep you from maximizing your financial gains. 

In this episode, Laura Stover, RFC® and Michael Wallin, CFP® will delve into the power of tax harvesting and the role it plays in creating a comprehensive tax plan. Throughout the show, they will explain how ex-dividend date, the wash rule, and tax thresholds work and why these things are important for making investment decisions. If you don’t have a professional helping you with this, there are a number of potential pitfalls that we’ll discuss today.

Join us and discover how utilizing tax harvesting can be a powerful tool in your financial planning arsenal, allowing you to make the most of your income and helping you secure a comfortable retirement.
