Course Description

2020 was an unbelievable time we will long remember and 2021 just began with a bang – The Democrats taking control of Congress and federal tax policy.  Although the crisis may abate in 2021, the rate of tax policy change will likely increase. The “Blue Wave” along with the fiscal stimulus from Congress both will have tremendous implications for your clients given the likelihood for significant tax changes directed towards wealthy Americans.

Whether, you’re a financial advisor, CPA or attorney, clients will be looking to you for the best income and estate tax strategies.

Learning Objectives

This session will provide, ideas, tip and tools to minimize your client’s tax liabilities. Bob will cover the following and much more:

  • A detailed review of President Biden’s income and social security tax policy proposals– including a checklist of planning ideas
  • Bracket management considering: historically low rates, the scheduled sunset, and the potential rate increases under a Biden Administration
  • Capital gain harvesting to capture a rate advantage with a potential of a 39.6% LTCG rate under the “Buffet Rule”
  • The mathematics of loss harvesting
  • Advanced Roth conversions
  • The reduced value of itemized deductions
  • The reduced value of Funding tax-preference retirement accounts
  • Using 529 Plans for elementary and high school tuition
  • The best charitable contribution strategies
