One of the most powerful tax strategies isn't about finding a hidden loophole—it's about putting your income to work in a tax-advantaged retirement plan.
For eligible business owners and self-employed individuals, options such as Solo 401(k)s, SEP plans, and cash-balance plans can potentially allow you to contribute part of your income toward retirement while reducing the amount subject to current taxation.
For example, if you earn $100,000 and contribute $20,000 to an eligible tax-deferred retirement plan, you may only be taxed on $80,000 of income now, depending on the specific plan and your circumstances.
The bigger opportunity is planning ahead. Contribution limits, income, business structure, and the type of retirement plan you choose can all affect how much you can contribute and how much you may save.
The best time to plan for next year's taxes is before the year ends. Book your retirement-plan review today.
