Tax Planning
It’s not what you make but what you keep. We use strategies to maximize your after-tax wealth.

Tax Planning. Forward Looking.
We are here to support you with tax advice throughout the year…not just at tax time. You can count on True Wealth for strategic advice that leads to smart tax decisions all year long. We take the time to understand your personal tax situation to make sure you get the refund you deserve or minimize your tax burden as much as possible.
Your tax liability can be impacted by the investments in your portfolio. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just starting your investment journey, understanding the basics of tax-efficient investing is essential. Investing wisely is about more than picking the right stocks or funds. It’s also about optimizing your returns by managing taxes.
Our tax planning services complement True Wealth’s Investment Management Services. We use tax planning to align different types of assets within your portfolio to strategically place investments in accounts that offer the most tax benefits.
- Proactive Planning. At True Wealth “proactive” does not mean looking back on what happened in the prior year. Rather, we take a multi-year approach to understand where you are today and where you want to go. Our tax planning helps mitigate taxes and maximize your after-tax wealth—while remaining in full compliance with IRS statutes.
- Tax-Efficient Investing . Taxes can take a significant bite out of your investment returns. Tax-efficient investing involves making wise choices about where and how you invest your money to minimize the impact of taxes. By minimizing your tax liabilities, you can keep more of your hard-earned money, which, in turn, can accelerate the growth of your investments over time.
- Tax- Advantaged Asset Allocation . We strategically place investments in accounts that offer the most tax benefits. For example, placing income-generating assets, like bonds, in tax-deferred accounts such as a 401(k) or IRA can allow them to grow without immediate tax implications. Conversely, growth-oriented investments, like stocks, might be better suited for taxable accounts where long-term capital gains are taxed at a lower rate.
- Optimized Income. By strategically managing your tax liabilities, you can maximize your income and investment returns, both now and in retirement. Careful coordination of your investments can help minimize your overall tax burden. This includes making decisions about when to realize gains, how to structure withdrawals from tax-deferred accounts, and whether to consider tax-advantaged strategies like Roth conversions or charitable giving.
