Three Ways To Lower Your Taxes

Delayed RMD Start Date
The age at which you must start taking required minimum distributions from qualified plans increased from 72 to 73 in 2023. So, if you don’t need the distribution, you can wait the extra year to begin taking RMDs.


"Qualify" Your Contributions
Speaking of qualified plans, make the maximum contribution to lower your taxable income for the year. If you own a business and were considering adding a qualified plan for employees, do so by year-end for possible tax credits and deductions. Your financial professional can help in this area.


A "Capital" Idea
The markets were volatile this year. If you sold investments for a loss, deduct them from gains. If your capital losses exceed your capital gains, you can deduct up to $3,000 in realized losses. Remember, you can use losses carried over from previous years and carry over losses exceeding $3,000 to the next tax year. Talk to your tax professional to learn more.
