Subject

An engagement where a family took advantage of our
complimentary LTax analysis and tax planning consultation for tax
planning strategies.

Objectives

  • Provide observations and recommendations regarding potential impact of proposed regulatory changes. Areas covered:

    • Federal and Oregon State Income Tax

    • Estate Tax Planning

    • Retirement Related Tax Considerations

Results

  • Capital gain tax mitigation: Opportunity Zone Investment - (1) Defer previously recognized capital gains, (2) Benefit from permanent exclusion of taxable income on new gains (10-year hold) generated from investment in Opportunity Zone Fund.

  • Capital gain tax mitigation: Tax mapping capital losses to offset large capital gains.

  • Maximizing itemized deductions: Charitable giving - increase charitable contributions based upon The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). Itemized deductions for cash contributions were increased to 100% of adjusted gross income for 2020.
