Retirement Minute – Three Tax Planning Tips for 2012
by John Bearss
Now that October has arrived, I would like to challenge you to take this month and start planning for how you are going to reduce your taxes in year 2012. Your CPA can be a good source to help you with this planning by suggesting different tax benefits that you can implement.
So ask yourself some questions like:
1.If I need to do home updates, are there any tax credits I can take advantage of?
2.Should I contribute to my Traditional IRA or should I increase my contributions into my 401(k) plan?
3.If you have a home business, what items can I write off? Like mileage or a portion of my mortgage payment.
I love this quote by Arthur Godfrey, he said, “I’m proud to be paying taxes in the United States. The only thing is, I could be just as proud for half the money.” So start your tax planning for 2012, now.
