Like it or not, taxes are a part of everyone's lives. Many of us pay more than we owe for a few reasons — the language, laws and rules surrounding taxes can be confusing, and the penalties can be harsh. Consulting with a financial advisor can help you understand why you pay when you pay, as well as provide sophisticated strategies on how to maximize your savings and avoid costly mistakes.
One common way to reduce your taxes is with retirement savings accounts. With a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or 401(k) plan, you contribute ‘pre-tax dollars’ or money that has not yet been taxed. Instead, you are taxed at the income tax rate when you withdraw. This may make sense if you anticipate being in a lower tax bracket at retirement.
With a Roth IRA or Roth 401(k) plan, you contribute ‘after-tax dollars’ or money that has already been taxed at your current income tax rate. Assets in the account grow tax-free and you won’t be taxed again in the future when you’re ready to withdraw. This may make sense if you’re currently in a lower tax bracket and further from retirement.
Another option is to split your savings between the two or you can even switch or convert the account type if you change your mind, although you may owe income tax on the money that year. Our financial advisors can help you plan accordingly and discuss your tax concerns including federal and state taxes on retirement accounts and potential taxes on pensions or annuity benefits.
Our advisors can also help you better understand short-term versus long-term capital gains, as well as tax-loss harvesting. Being prudent with capital gains tax decisions is an under-appreciated art. Tax loss harvesting is a strategy that allows you to reduce or offset capital gains by capital losses. Our financial planners can help advise and guide you through these decisions, so you don’t end up letting a capital gain tax keep you from making beneficial long-term investment decisions.
Other tax saving strategies include estate planning, insurance options, gifting or charitable contributions, Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), 529 college savings plans and more.

Most people choose to handle taxes themselves or work with an accountant when it's time to file, but this could mean missing out on some of the best ways to save money and accumulate wealth. Tax planning plays an important role in your overall financial plan. At Midland Wealth Management, our financial advisors can help.
While we'll customize your plan to fit your specific needs and wants, tax planning can help you make the most of your hard-earned money by paying a smaller percentage of it in taxes. We know reducing income may seem counterproductive – but depending on how it affects your tax bracket, you may end up bringing home more of your money when you earn less. Your financial advisor will work with you to figure out a strategic approach that best fits your needs.
We strive to put every one of our clients on the road to financial freedom. A good tax strategy can help you save more every year, which means you can do more with your money — like investing in new opportunities and saving for retirement. Whether you're exploring advisors near you for your personal banking needs or as a business, we’re here to help.
