    Tax advantaged wealth guide

    The goal is optionality later, which requires structure now.

    Know your current position

    • What percentage of your long term savings sits in each tax character.
    • Which employer plan options are you not currently using.
    • What is your projected taxable income in retirement, including required distributions.
    • Which thresholds are you close to today and in projection.

    Questions for your tax professional

    • Are there low income years ahead where conversion analysis is warranted.
    • How would a large one time event, such as a sale or bonus, interact with my picture.
    • Are charitable strategies relevant to my situation and objectives.
    • What planning should happen before December rather than in April.

    Cautions

    • Do not displace employer plan matching to fund an insurance strategy.
    • Tax deferral is not the same as tax elimination.
    • Complex structures carry ongoing cost and administrative burden.
    • Tax law changes. Review any strategy against current law periodically.
