Tax-Saving Moves You Can Make Before Year-End

Posted By Mark Sipos, LFG Tax Services Director
November 13, 2024 Category: Tax

Written by Mark Sipos, LFG Tax Services Director From maximizing tax-advantaged savings accounts to donating to charity, here are strategic tax moves to consider before year-end.   Tax Day may still be months away, but there are plenty of tax-planning strategies you can consider before then to help manage your 2024 tax bill. In fact, certain tasks should not—or in some cases cannot—wait until next year, lest you miss out on potentially important tax-saving opportunities.   Here are the top strategies to consider before December 31—and those you can ponder until Tax Day.   Tax-planning strategies to consider by year-end Be sure to take all your required minimum distributions (RMDs). Generally, taxpayers age 73 or older must take minimum distributions from your tax-deferred retirement accounts by the end of the year.

However, this confidence may be shifting, as evidenced by the Consumer Confidence Index's significant monthly increase—the largest since March 2021—rising to 108.7 in October from 99.2 in September.  Notably, all five components of the index improved, indicating growing confidence in future job availability and stock market gains.   This economic environment is favorable for equity markets.  Declining interest rates and real wage gains are positive for consumer spending, and S&P 500 operating margins are 8% above long-term averages, showcasing the dynamism of U.S. companies. Additionally, secular trends continue to encourage corporate investment. Besides high valuations, there are few
