About This Course

After the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act, practitioners had to change their approach to planning. There simply are not as many itemized deductions as there used to be. While many courses focus on complex strategies that only work for high-net-worth clients, there are still many effective strategies available today that will work for any client if you know where to look.

The goal of this course is simple: to provide financial advisors and tax practitioners with a straightforward framework for tax planning with nearly any client. We will discuss bracket management, tax-efficient investing strategies, and making post-year-end contributions to HSAs and IRAs, all with one goal – helping your client get the best tax planning possible.

Topic Areas:

  • Tax planning and the financial planning pyramid
  • Bracket management
  • Capital gains bracket management
  • Tax-efficient investing
  • Sec 121 exclusion
  • Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
  • IRA contributions and strategies
  • HSA contributions with coverage changes

Who should attend?

Tax practitioners and financial advisors who work with a wide range of individual tax clients.
