Do You Really Know How to Utilize
Bracket Management to Help Your Clients
in a Five-Dimensional Tax System?
In recent years, it has become more and more complex to income tax plan for clients. And yes, this system may change, but you still have to be able to know how to navigate through this five-dimensional tax system while it’s still in place. This includes regular tax, alternative minimum tax, net investment income tax, phase-out of itemized deductions, and the increased 39.6% bracket (including higher capital gains tax rates). And, as if that isn’t hard enough, you have to be able to do this in conjunction with running multi-year scenarios so that you can get a clear picture of the future tax landscape for your clients too.
What this means is that virtually every financial and tax planning decision that your clients make (or that you recommend) needs to be analyzed through the lens of this current five-dimensional tax system.
The most important and effective way to start this analysis is with bracket management planning. Whether you’re an estate planning attorney, CPA, financial advisor or life insurance agent, you now have an unprecedented opportunity to demonstrate your value to clients by providing unique and impactful guidance and recommendations utilizing bracket management planning.
