A SIMPLE TAX STRATEGY MOST PEOPLE MISS
Now is the perfect time.

There are only two tax systems:
One for the informed, one for everyone else.
Most investors ignore taxes until April.
Smart investors plan all year long.
Here’s one simple tip:
If you’re sitting on unrealized losses, you can sell, lock in the loss, and offset future gains. That’s called tax-loss harvesting.
Be sure if you re buy, to buy something the IRS does not deem “significantly identical”
Cause if you do, the loss will not count.
When I do this with stock options, I always chose a different strike and expiration date cause it makes it NOT “significantly identical” and it counts for the loss.
You can also:
Use Roth IRAs for tax free growth
Maximize HSA contributions for triple tax advantages
Invest in long term assets to lower your capital gains rate
You don’t need to become a tax pro. You just need to know the basics and have a strategy before year end.
