Proactive tax planning for 2021

Did you know that most American taxpayers prepare their taxes reactively? At least this is what wealth manager Kirk Chisholm of Innovative Advisory Group says. If you’re doing the same thing, Chisholm suggests a more proactive approach to tax planning for 2021.

According to Chisholm, taxpayers should try to evaluate and estimate their numbers and try to come up with timely solutions to lower their tax burdens. “Examples where this could be helpful include year-end tax loss selling, contributing to an IRA or 401k or making legitimate purchases for your business,” he adds.
