With the cost of education continuing to rise, and the requirements for minimum workforce entry showing no likelihood of decreasing the importance of a post-secondary education, it’s more important than ever that college costs are considered and incorporated into your budget as early as possible. For all the readers who have children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews who are a constant source of excitement and joy, making sure these children get a world-class education is of paramount importance.

But paying for college is a completely different ballgame.

 Quizmaster, Doug Hutchinson, presents his quiz for the month. Here, Doug explores how to manage capital gains tax on mutual funds. Consider this Scenario: Your friend Joe is preparing his tax returns and is confused as to why he owes taxes on a mutual fund position that he hasn’t sold and went down in value from the purchase price. "I bought $100,000 worth of a mutual fund on October 1st at $10.00 per share in a taxable brokerage account. On December 1st I received a capital gains distribution from the mutual fund. At the end of the year the mutual fund was worth $9.90 per share." "I didn't sell any shares of the mutual fund after I bought them and the price per share has gone down in value since I bought the mutual fund. Why would I owe taxes in this scenario?"

September 21, 2016

 For readers unfamiliar with the generation skipping transfer tax (GSTT), in its simplest form it is what it sounds like – a transfer tax that is triggered when an individual (transferor) bequeaths all or a portion of an estate to a person (skip person) that is two or more generations below them, with an age difference of 37 ½ years or more. The simplest and perhaps most common example would be a grandparent leaving assets to a grandchild.1 [[+] Read More](https://www.letsassemble.com/wealth-management-blog/3-things-to-know-about-the-generation-skipping-transfer-tax-gstt)

March 9, 2016

 Quizmaster, Doug Hutchinson, has come up with another great quiz for us regarding how tax aversion can sometimes lead investors to make sub-optimal investment decisions. Good luck! Consider this scenario: Your friend Jeff owns a mutual fund worth $100,000 in his taxable account. Jeff has been considering selling the mutual fund and replacing it with a similar investment with lower fees (and, therefore better projected net of fees returns). However, Jeff is leaning toward not selling his mutual fund because his cost basis on the mutual fund is $75,000, so selling it would create a taxable gain of $25,000.

### [Lower Your Taxes in 2016: Take Advantage of Tax Deductions and Credits](https://www.letsassemble.com/wealth-management-blog/lower-taxes-2016-tax-deductions-and-tax-credits)

January 13, 2016

 A new year is a fresh slate in many ways, including the way you manage your taxes. There are numerous tax deductions and tax credits available to taxpayers who know about them and use them. The problem is that many taxpayers either don’t pay attention to them or don’t prepare to use them. Most of these deductions and credits require that you track expenses and keep receipts. These are easy things to do if you create a strategy and system for tracking expenses. Make a goal in 2016 to take advantage of tax deductions and tax credits. You may be able to lower your overall taxes by doing so. The following tax deductions and tax credits are often overlooked. See if you qualify for any of them. By making a plan now for the coming year, you may be able to take advantage of more tax deductions and credits. Long Term Care Insurance Premiums You may be able to deduct premiums paid for qualified Long Term Care (LTC) insurance policies from you 2016 taxes. Some LTC policies qualify as “medical expenses” according to the IRS itemization definition. Talk with your tax adviser about the possibility of deducting these expenses; in many cases you can deduct them to the extent that your total medical expenses exceed 10% of your adjusted gross income.

### [7 Tips to Reduce Taxable Income Through Charitable Giving](https://www.letsassemble.com/wealth-management-blog/reduce-taxable-income-charitable-giving)

December 16, 2015

 Charitable giving reached an all-time high in 2014,1 with Americans giving $358.38 billion to charities, according to National Philanthropic Trust.2 Giving feels good, but the benefits of giving don’t end there. You can also reduce your taxable income through charitable giving by making sure you follow the tax guidelines for charitable donations. If you haven’t yet done so, you can join the millions of Americans who donate to charity and receive a reward for themselves: a lower overall tax bill. In order to make a difference in your taxes, follow these 7 guidelines: Choose Qualified Charities. Not all charities qualify for tax deductions. If you’re unsure about a charity’s status, ask to see their letter from the IRS or search online at the IRS Exempt Organization Select Check website. If you’re donating to a church, mosque, synagogue, or temple, keep in mind that religious charities are considered de facto charitable organizations, even if they’re not on the IRS list.
