Non-qualified portfolio income can be a wild card when it comes to taxes. Interest, dividends, and capital gains all have an effect on your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) and Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI), and it’s important to properly factor this in when addressing your tax planning needs.
That’s why we created this comprehensive checklist, which will provide you with clarity around where you stand and what options you have when it comes to coordinating the taxable income in your non-qualified portfolio with your other tax planning goals.
This checklist covers important factors to consider when reviewing non-qualified portfolio income, such as:
- Taxable and tax-exempt interest.
- Ordinary and qualified dividends.
- Realized long- and short-term capital gains/losses.
- Unrealized long- and short-term capital gains/losses.
- Capital losses being carried forward from prior years.
- Anticipated capital gains distributions from mutual funds.
