As the year winds down, so does your chance to control your tax bill. By the time January arrives, most opportunities are gone. That’s why November and December are the most powerful months for tax planning.
Why Year-End Matters
Many strategies only count if completed before December 31st. After that, it’s too late. Key Year-End Moves
- Maximize Retirement Contributions: 401(k) and IRA contributions lower taxable income.
- Timing Income and Expenses: Delay income or accelerate expenses where beneficial. 3. Charitable Giving: Donate cash, stock, or goods before December 31st. 4. Review Capital Gains/Losses: Harvest losses to offset gains.
- Prepay Business Expenses: Lock in deductions now for supplies, rent, or marketing.
Real Example
A Dallas tech consultant prepaid $10,000 in expenses and increased her 401(k) contributions. Her year-end planning saved her $4,200 in taxes.
