7 Tax Strategies to Consider

Take Advantage of Your Tax Refund

Getting a refund from your tax filing in April is NOT a tax strategy, so if your entire tax goal is dependent on getting a large refund, you’re not making the most of your tax strategy and should probably re-evaluate.  Consistently getting a refund in April might be a symptom of incorrect tax withholding. This should be addressed so you can get more money throughout the year rather than waiting for the IRS to send that direct deposit.

Although it’s not a recommended tax strategy, there are certain ways you can take advantage of a tax refund.

How To: Implement Your Tax Strategy

The best way to understand your tax strategy options and eligibility is to speak to an expert. A financial advisor is the best person to tell you how you can maximize the benefits of your tax strategy and align it to your financial priorities.

Having a strategy is by no means a way to avoid paying taxes. On the contrary, it is a way to understand exactly how much money you owe and figure out what you can do in order to maximize the reduction in your tax bracket.

Laying out your financial priorities is a key aspect of developing a tax strategy because once you have those in check, you can ensure you are benefiting from the priorities in your tax strategy.
