Nancy Ney | Photodisc | Getty ImagesThe downsides of 529-to-Roth IRA rolloversThe biggest downside of a 529-to-Roth IRA rollover is the conversion counts toward your annual IRA contribution limit, which may stunt future growth across both accounts, according to Loyd. "If my kids are pulling money from their 529 to make Roth contributions down the road, Daddy's not going to be happy." If my kids are pulling money from their 529 to make Roth contributions down the road, Daddy's not going to be happy. There's a lifetime cap of $35,000 for 529-to-Roth IRA rollovers, which means it would take five years of $7,000 conversions to reach the limit. Generally, it's better to keep the money growing in a 529 plan and contribute to a Roth IRA separately because you can change 529 plan beneficiaries, Loyd said.

However, you may still owe taxes if you made a profit on resold Taylor Swift tickets, experts say. While third-party payment apps won't report as many business transactions to the agency this year, you are still required to pay taxes on profits, including resold concert tickets. "The big thing this past year was selling Taylor Swift concert tickets," said certified financial planner Tommy Lucas, an enrolled agent at Moisand Fitzgerald Tamayo in Orlando, Florida. 'If you want to follow the law ... report it'Ticket profits have always been taxable, and this may affect those who resold Taylor Swift concert tickets this summer. Keep copies of your purchase receipts for goods you later resell, such as those Taylor Swift tickets, since tax liability will be based on your sales proceeds minus the original purchase price.

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has raised many concerns, prominent among these AI job displacement and mass layoffs throughout the economy. No round of layoffs of knowledge workers goes by without a mention of the threat of AI. In May of this year alone, the U.S. economy lost 4,000 jobs as a result of AI, according to data from employment outsourcing firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. According to Factset, mentions of generative AI on corporate earnings calls increased from five in December 2022 to 390 in June 2023. The more recent milestone, according to Rand: by 2020, "nearly all occupations are exposed to AI technology patent."

If you're 50 or older, you can funnel extra money into your 401(k), known as "catch-up contributions." But starting in 2024, higher earners can only make 401(k) catch-up contributions to after-tax Roth accounts, which don't provide an upfront tax break but the funds can grow levy-free. Fund pretax catch-up contributions for 2023Guarino urges higher earners to fund pretax catch-up contributions in 2023 while they still can because it provides a bigger tax break. Change provides tax diversificationWhile some higher earners will lose a tax break, the catch-up contribution change is "not necessarily a bad thing," according to Dan Galli, a CFP and owner at Daniel J.

Marko Geber | DigitalVision | Getty ImagesHow to calculate your capital gains tax bracketWith higher standard deductions and income thresholds for capital gains, it's more likely you'll fall into the 0% bracket in 2023, Lucas said. For 2023, you may qualify for the 0% long-term capital gains rate with taxable income of $44,625 or less for single filers and $89,250 or less for married couples filing jointly. The rates use "taxable income," which is calculated by subtracting the greater of the standard or itemized deductions from your adjusted gross income. For example, if a married couple makes $100,000 together in 2023, their taxable income may easily fall below $89,250 after subtracting the $27,700 married filing jointly standard deduction. Other tax-planning opportunitiesWith taxable income below the thresholds, you can sell profitable assets without tax consequences.

As a result of the change, more taxpayers are likely to receive Form 1099-K, which reports third-party business payments to the IRS. Some lawmakers are pushing to increase the reporting threshold, so it could change further. However, regardless of the tax reporting threshold, it's important to remember P2P business payments have always been taxable, experts say. Here are some additional tips to consider before the reporting change in January. An accounting system may also make it easier to track business expenses, which may be deducted to reduce taxable income, Guarino said.

This means you can have more taxable income before reaching the 15% or 20% brackets for investment earnings.

For example, if a married couple makes $100,000 together in 2023, their taxable income may easily fall below $89,250 taxable income after subtracting the $27,700 married filing jointly standard deduction.

While your tax return isn't due until April, several key deadlines are approaching by year-end, experts say. "You can control your tax reporting destiny," said certified financial planner Jim Guarino, a CPA and managing director at Baker Newman Noyes in Woburn, Massachusetts. Since few Americans itemize deductions, it's harder to claim a tax break for charitable gifts. Time Roth IRA conversions with transfers to a donor-advised fundAnother charitable giving strategy, donor-advised funds, may pair well with a Roth IRA conversion, Guarino said. Donor-advised funds act like a charitable checkbook, allowing investors to "bunch" multiple years of gifts into a single transfer, providing an upfront tax deduction.
