Carter Financial, LLC

A Fiduciary, Fee-Only Wealth Management Firm

What We’re Working On

For all of the human and economic misery that the coronavirus has caused, there are some silver-lining financial planning strategies to take advantage of. Here’s what we are working on now for clients:

Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs): RMDs are waived for 2020 as part of the Cares Act legislation. Clients who can forgo their required distributions from a cash flow standpoint should consider skipping their 2020 RMDs.

Relatively low taxes for 2020: 2020 may turn out to be a tax-friendly year to take advantage of:

  • Marginal income tax rates are still relatively low due to the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2018
  • Capital gains distributions from mutual funds will be much lower this year.
  • Higher tax rates in the future will be one of the most likely consequences of the exploding government debt taken on to battle the economic effects of the coronavirus.

Tax Loss Harvesting: Triggering capital losses in taxable accounts and immediately reinvesting the proceeds in similar securities to maintain the overall portfolio balance retains a portfolio’s recovery potential while banking tax savings for the future

Roth conversions: Consider strategically converting some IRA funds to a Roth IRA in 2020 to take advantage of the relatively low income tax rates.
