Tax planning impacts investments with Mike Callahan of Sachetta

Описание: Which tax planning decisions tend to affect your investments the most?
Tax planning shapes investing because it changes what different choices cost after taxes.

Why is a capital gains plan important?

Without a plan, gains often get realized accidentally, or avoided out of fear.
A calm approach starts with a simple question: what is our plan for realizing gains, and how does it fit diversification, rebalancing, and longer-term goals?

What is tax-loss harvesting, and why does process matter?

Tax-loss harvesting can be useful, but it is not guaranteed and it requires coordination. In plain terms, it involves realizing losses in a taxable account to help offset realized gains, while maintaining market exposure. What matters most is consistency, awareness of wash-sale rules, and realistic expectations.

Why does NIIT awareness matter for high earners?

Some households end up paying an additional layer of tax on investment income and only find out after the fact. You do not need to memorize thresholds to benefit from planning. You just need awareness so gains and income decisions are made with the full picture in mind.

What are Roth conversion “windows” and why do people care?

Roth conversion windows are the times when your income is temporarily lower. For some families, partial Roth conversions in the right years can reduce future tax pressure and create more options later. The right approach depends on the full plan because Roth conversions are more complicated and more important after OBBBA.

Why does withdrawal sequencing matter if retirement is still years away?

Today’s decisions shape what options you’ll have later. The way you build up taxable, retirement, and Roth-style accounts affects how much control you’ll have over future taxes, including whether you can spread income across years instead of taking it all at once. Planning early can reduce the chance of being forced into higher taxes or rushed sales later.
