End-of-year planning can help reduce taxes, strengthen retirement savings, and ensure your financial goals are on track going into next year. A little proactive planning today can make a meaningful difference.
A few priorities to review:
Maximize retirement contributions (IRA, 401(k), etc.)
Use remaining FSA funds
Review tax-loss harvesting opportunities
Update insurance and beneficiaries
Evaluate charitable giving strategies
