Net Investment Income Tax is one of those taxes people tend to discover the hard way -- after the fact. Our latest blog outlines who’s most likely to be affected, how the 3.8% surtax works, and where coordinated planning can make a real difference over time.

A 3.8% federal surtax is affecting more households every year. Here's how the Net Investment Income Tax works and where planning may help reduce exposure.

On May 26, 1896, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was first published, tracking 12 industrial companies. The original list included names from railroads, cotton and sugar, to***co, gas, and leather, reflecting the economic backbone of that era. Today, the Dow is one of the most widely followed market benchmarks and a quick way many people gauge how “the market” is doing.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was first published in 1896 as a means to increase transparency and inform investors of the overall health of the stock market.

Household budgets are feeling the impact of higher gas prices this year.

In this month’s Capital Insights, Trent Von Ahsen takes a closer look at what is driving the recent spike at the pump and how it can affect day to day cash flow and longer term plans. He also walks through three key questions to help you respond thoughtfully, rather than reacting by default.

If gas prices have you rethinking parts of your budget, this is a timely watch.

If you have an ISave 529 account and recently received a transaction confirmation that made you do a double take, you’re probably not alone.

ISave 529 recently updated its investment lineup, replacing Age-Based Saving Tracks with new Enrollment-Based Portfolios designed around the year you expect to begin using the funds, rather than the beneficiary’s age.

For many account owners, this transition happened automatically, so you may see “exchange out” and “exchange in” activity when you log in. No action should be needed if you were already invested in an Age-Based Savings Track, but it’s still a good idea to review your account activity.

Changes like this are a helpful reminder to check whether your 529 still lines up with your family’s goals!

May is Disability Insurance Awareness Month — a good reminder that income protection is not always as simple as checking a box during open enrollment.

For many households, compensation may include more than a base salary. Bonuses, equity compensation, business income, and tax considerations can all be worth reviewing when looking at how workplace benefits fit into the broader financial plan.

As a reminder, CPCP does not sell insurance. We do, however, help clients think through how employee benefits fit into their overall financial picture.

Taxes don't stop in retirement, and without a plan they can take a bigger bite than expected.

A recent piece highlights some of the most common tax traps retirees face, including unexpected taxes on Social Security, over reliance on one type of account, and missed opportunities for tax efficiency.

The key theme is that good tax planning creates flexibility, and that flexibility can make a meaningful difference over time.

If you're thinking about retirement, or already there, this is worth a read.

A little strategic planning will help your money go farther in retirement.
