Tax Planning

Pay What You Owe, Not a Penny More

Taxes impact every part of your financial life, from income and investments to retirement withdrawals, business ownership, and charitable giving. Yet most people only think about taxes once a year, when it is too late to make meaningful changes.

 

At Water Street Wealth, I take a proactive approach to tax planning. That means looking ahead, finding opportunities, and helping you make informed, tax efficient decisions throughout the year — not just during filing season.

Without a Strategy, You Could Be Paying More Than Necessary

Taxes can erode your progress if you do not have a plan. Missed deductions, poor timing, or inefficient withdrawals can cost thousands over time. A well-designed tax strategy helps you keep more of what you earn, reduce stress, and make confident financial decisions throughout the year.

How I Help with Tax Planning

Income Tax Strategies – Use timing and deductions to reduce your tax liability

Capital Gains Management – Harvest gains and losses strategically to lower your overall tax burden

Roth Conversion Planning – Shift assets into tax free accounts during lower income years

Tax Efficient Withdrawal Strategies – Coordinate retirement income to reduce unnecessary taxes

Charitable Giving Strategies – Utilize donor advised funds, qualified charitable distributions, and appreciated securities

Small Business and Self Employment Planning – Optimize your income, retirement contributions, and business structure

I do not prepare tax returns, but I work closely with your CPA or connect you with trusted professionals to ensure your tax strategy fits into your complete financial plan.

Let’s Get Ahead of the Tax Game

If you are tired of scrambling each April or wondering whether you are missing opportunities, I can help. Together I will build a forward thinking tax strategy that supports your goals and gives you more clarity throughout the year.
