Today is a big marketplace health insurance deadline!

If you want health coverage that starts January 1, 2026, you must enroll by the end of today (Dec. 15th).

-Review your current coverage
-Update income or household info
-Compare plans and costs for the year ahead

If youโ€™re self-employed, this is especially important!

๐Ÿ‘‰ A lot of plans are more expensive than they were last year, so staying on the same plan may not be what's best!

Big tax relief coming!

Many of my clients have been frustrated by the $10,000 cap on the state and local tax (SALT) deduction.

If you live in a high property tax area, have a good income, and itemize your deductions on your taxes, then you most likely have felt the limitation of the $10k cap.

Well, relief is finally here!

๐Ÿšจ New SALT Cap: $40,000 ๐Ÿšจ
Starting in 2025, the SALT deduction cap is jumping from $10,000 to $40,000!!! This is huge for homeowners in states with high property taxes or high income taxes.

What's the catch?
There is a phase-out โ˜น๏ธ

The $40,000 deduction begins to phase out for adjusted gross incomes (AGI) over $500,000 (joint filers) and is fully phased out (back to $10k) at $600k of AGI.

This change isn't permanent, unfortunately โณ
This new $40k deduction is in place through 2029 and then reverts back to the $10k limit.

๐Ÿ‘€ What this means for you:
If you pay a lot of property taxes and already itemize deductions, this could be a great chance to have larger deductions moving forward!

It's not just about what you earn - it's about what you keep! That's why tax planning is so important.

๐Ÿ” Curious how this will affect your 2025 tax bill?

Let's connect.

Risk and return are related. The more risk you take, the more return you expect.

Risk is what we have some control over though. We manage risk by adjusting your stock/bond allocations.

More stocks, less bonds = More risk
Less stocks, more bonds = Less risk

Here's a simple way to lower your tax bill...
Tax loss harvesting!

Tax loss harvesting can help lower your tax bill by selling underperforming investments and offsetting capital gains with the losses.

If don't have any capital gains to offset, you're in luck, you can offset up to $3,000 of ordinary income ($1,500 if married filing separately)!

Losses above and beyond what you can use in a given year get carried forward to the next year!

If you're not taking advantage of tax loss harvesting you are missing out on ways to lower your tax bill and optimize your finances.

AJD Wealth Management clients get an email when we are able to harvest losses in their accounts - all part of the proactive planning experience I strive to deliver!

I love retirement planning!

The work doesn't stop once a client reaches retirement!

A few ways the work continues:
- Making adjustments to their spending and making sure their investments are managed properly

- Accounting for changes in their lifestyle - new hobbies, maybe even new houses

- Staying up to date and informing our clients about tax law changes and charitable giving strategies
