Vermont Gift Tax Exemption: Fill & Download for Free

The more money you make, the more taxes you pay — right?Not necessarily.While the U.S. tax code is structured so that high earners pay a higher tax rate, the ultra-wealthy often take advantage of laws that enable them to lower their effective tax rate.“In general, America’s wealthy are different when it comes to tax planning because of the options they may have with categorizing the assets they hold,” said Ron Carson, founder and CEO of Carson Group and co-author of “Avalanche: The 9 Principles for Uncovering True Wealth.”“Their net worth often presents opportunities when tax planning to help protect their assets,” he added.Billionaire Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, has repeatedly pointed out the disparity, advocating that rich Americans pay higher taxes. To make that argument, he famously noted that he pays fewer taxes, on a percentage basis, than his secretary and other employees, since a bulk of his wealth is in stock rather than wage income.The ability of the wealthy to bring down their taxes is nothing new, but there has been a recent rallying cry to make the rich pay more. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who represents Massachusetts and launched her campaign for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination earlier this month…… has proposed a 2 percent tax every year on households with assets over $50 million and 3 percent on households with assets over $1 billion. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, wants to slap a 70 percent marginal tax rate on income above $10 million. And independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, from Vermont, is looking at an estate tax hike.The current tax code, overhauled when the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law in late 2017, brought down the tax bracket on the highest earners. The wealthiest now pay a top rate 37 percent on their taxable income, down from 39.6 percent. Still, it could take a big bite out of a billionaire’s wallet — so that means thinking ahead on how to save.“For wealthy people, tax planning is not something done at the end of the year,” said CPA Lisa Featherngill, a member of the American Institute of CPAs’ Personal Financial Planning Executive Committee. “It’s top of mind throughout the year.”So if you want to find a way to lower your taxes like the rich do, it could be a good idea to meet with a financial advisor or CPA.Increasing equity exposure, managing gainsThe wealthy like to invest in stocks because when it comes time to sell, the taxes are typically lower than the rates on wage income — if, that is, the equity was held for more than a year. They can also afford to take bigger risks.“Many who have higher net worth also have higher risk tolerance preferences and risk capacity, so target date and low risk funds don’t always make sense,” Carson said.Long-term capital gains tax rates are zero, 15 percent and 20 percent for 2018, depending on your income. Federal tax brackets on wages go from 10 percent for the lowest earner to 37 percent for the highest. Short-term capital gains taxes on stocks held for less than a year are tied to your federal tax bracket.The wealthy also look to manage those capital gains and losses to their tax advantage, Featherngill pointed out.For example, there tends to be a “flurry of activity” at the end the year, with people trying to take losses to offset some of the gains they reaped earlier in the year. She’s also seeing people investing in opportunity zone programs, which invest in low-income communities, as a way to defer capital gains.It’s something that can be done by anyone, not just the rich. “If the gain is sizeable enough, in terms of material enough for them, they can look at ways of deferring tax on the gains,” she said.Managing assets like a businessOne way to save on taxes is creating a structure — such as a limited liability company, or LLC — to manage multiple investments, said Featherngill. It could include portfolio assets, real estate or a business.While it could get complex, there may be opportunities to save money while at the same time creating a governance structure for your assets, she explained. “If the LLC is a management company that provides oversight and advice to owners of the assets, under certain circumstances the expenses incurred by the LLC will be deductible as business expenses.”Estate and gift exemptionsGift and estate deductions help bring down taxable income, but there is even more reason to take advantage of them now.Thanks to the new tax law, the deductions have been temporarily doubled. Individuals can now claim up to $11.18 million, compared to the $5.29 million limit per person in 2017. The exemption expires after the end of 2025, so the wealthy are taking advantage, said Featherngill.Many of them are setting up long-term trusts, such as a Delaware Dynasty Trust, which allows wealth to be passed down from generation to generation, she said. While it is subject to income taxes along the way, it will not be taxed as a gift if it meets the limit and will not be subject to estate tax when money comes out.However, given the costs involved in setting up and running a multi-generation trust, it only makes sense when you have $5 million or more to commit, said Featherngill.... some more free value todayMost people think getting rich is impossible!?!?!?I have read 700 books on money and success and I only found 7 habits which have worked for all the successful and super successful people and thousands of "normal" people like me to make our own fortune!
