Could your traditional 401(k) or IRA balance be too large? Maybe! Contributing as much as you can to tax-deferred retirement accounts can be a good idea. Contributions are pretax or deductible, and tax-deferred compounding can turbocharge growth. But sometimes maximizing tax deferral is counterproductive. This may be true if tax rates increase by the time you pay tax on distributions. Also, retirement plan distributions are taxed at your ordinary-income rate, not your long-term capital gains rate. So you may pay a higher tax rate on dividends and growth than you would if you held the investments in a taxable account. Fortunately, there are strategies that can help. Call us at 713-444-1494 to learn more.

Grabbing lunch with a client doesn’t just build rapport. It can also trim your tax bill. Under federal tax law, you can generally deduct 50% of qualifying business meal costs. Whether you're dining with clients, partners or employees, these deductions can reduce your taxable income. Keep detailed records of the expenses, including receipts. Document the business purpose of each meal and the business relationship of the people you dine with. Contact us at 713-444-1494 with any questions about this deduction.

One question surviving spouses face is how to file their federal income tax returns for the year of their spouse’s death. For purposes of the final return, the tax year begins on Jan. 1 and ends on the date of death. The return is due on April 15 of the following calendar year unless the executor requests a six-month filing extension. In many cases, a surviving spouse can file a joint return with the deceased spouse for that year. Often, filing jointly provides tax savings, such as from a lower tax rate and larger deductions and credits. But filing separately sometimes may produce a better result because of the couple’s particular mix of income, deductions and other tax attributes. Call us at 713-444-1494 for more information.

Disability insurance is a valuable benefit provided by many employers. It replaces a portion of the insured person’s income — typically 45% to 65% of pre-disability earnings. But in some cases, income taxes can take a bite out of disability benefits. Taxability usually hinges on who paid the premiums. If your employer paid them, the payouts from the policy generally will be taxed to you just as if the income were paid directly to you by your employer. If you paid the premiums, the payments you receive generally won’t be taxable. State tax treatment of disability benefits varies. Contact us at 713-444-1494 for help assessing how much disability coverage you need depending on the tax consequences and other factors.

Did you know that if you have seriously delinquent tax debt, you could lose your passport? The IRS can “certify” unpaid federal tax debts over $66,000 (adjusted annually for inflation) to the U.S. State Department, which may deny a passport application or renewal — or even revoke your current passport — until your tax issues are resolved. If you’re overseas, you might receive only a limited-validity passport to return to the United States. Unpaid federal tax debt includes individual income taxes, trust fund recovery penalties, business taxes for which taxpayers are personally liable and other civil penalties. Contact us at 713-444-1494 for details.

As property values continue to rise, homeowners with large estates may be looking for ways to preserve family wealth while minimizing future estate tax exposure. One option is a qualified personal residence trust (QPRT). This irrevocable trust allows you to transfer ownership of your home to it while retaining the right to live in the home for a specified number of years. When you transfer the home, it’s generally removed from your taxable estate at a reduced gift tax cost. But a QPRT has drawbacks. For example, if you die before the term expires, the home is generally included in your taxable estate, largely eliminating the intended estate tax benefits. Call us at 713-444-1494 to learn about the ins and outs of a QPRT.
