Retirement on the Shore

Mid-Year Tax Planning: Don’t Wait Until DecemberWe’re officially more than halfway through the year—which means now is the perfect time to check in on your tax strategy.In the latest episode of Retirement on the Shore, Nate and Bryant break down several areas worth reviewing before the year gets away from you:• Are your tax withholdings still appropriate after a retirement, job change, Social Security, or other life change?• Have you realized capital gains that could impact your tax bill?• Are you on track to maximize your IRA, Roth IRA, or 401(k) contributions?• Could a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) make sense for your charitable giving?• Is a Roth conversion worth considering based on where your income stands this year?The biggest takeaway? Tax planning is much more effective when you do it before December. You may still have several months to make adjustments, but waiting until year-end can leave fewer options on the table.🎙️ Listen to the latest episode of Retirement on the Shore for the full conversation with Nate & Bryant.#RetirementOnTheShore #TaxPlanning #RetirementPlanning #FinancialPlanning #TaxStrategy #Retirement #WealthManagement
