7 Things to Finish the Year Strong


Hello Wealth Builders!

We are heading into the final stretch of the year. As we approach 4th quarter, it's important to take the necessary steps to minimize or eliminate your tax bill BEFORE the end of the year.

Here are 7 things you can do to ensure you finish the year strong:

  1. Review your financial reports. Your taxable income is partly determined by your net income (revenue minus expenses).
  2. Increase expenses (if needed). If your business needs new equipment, now may be the time to consider it.
  3. Maximize your retirement contributions (if possible). Keep in mind there are limits based on the type of retirement plan you have and income.
  4. Review your investment portfolio. Capital losses can offset capital gains.
  5. Make charitable contributions to qualified organizations.
  6. Review/Make your estimated tax payments. If you are expected to owe more than $1,000 you must make estimated tax payments to avoid penalties and interest. The final payment is due January 15, 2025.
  7. Meet with your tax strategist. Consulting with your tax strategist to discuss your unique situation will allow us to identify additional tax strategies to minimize or eliminate your taxes.
