Insights & Perspective
Evaluate whether a Health Savings Account is beneficial to you
A Health Savings Account offers a tax-favored way for eligible individuals (or their employers) to set aside funds to meet medical needs. Among the tax benefits: 1) contributions are deductible within limits; 2) earnings in the HSA aren’t taxed; 3) contributions an employer makes aren’t taxed; and 4) distributions to pay qualified expenses aren’t taxed. An eligible employee must be covered by a high deductible health plan (HDHP). For 2023, an HDHP has an annual deductible of at least $1,500 for self-only coverage or $3,000 for family coverage (for 2024, $1,600 and $3,200). For 2023, an individual can contribute $3,850 ($7,750 for a family). For 2024, these amounts will be $4,150 and $8,300.
Investment swings: What’s the tax impact?
Have your investments fluctuated wildly this year? You may have already recognized gains and losses. But nothing is decided tax-wise until all the gains and losses from 2023 trades are tallied up at year end. If you’ve had swings in the value of a tax-favored 401(k), traditional IRA, Roth IRA or SEP, there are no current taxes. These changes affect the account value but have no tax impact until you take withdrawals. At that point, your account balance(s) will affect your taxes. (Qualified Roth withdrawals after age 59½ are tax-free.) With taxable accounts, the cumulative gains and losses from trades during the year are what matter. Unrealized gains and losses don’t affect your tax bill.
Plan now for year-end gifts with the gift tax annual exclusion
Now that Labor Day has passed, the holidays are just around the corner. Many people may want to make gifts of cash or stock to their loved ones. By properly using the annual exclusion, gifts to family members and loved ones can reduce the size of your taxable estate, within generous limits, without triggering any estate or gift tax. The exclusion amount for 2023 is $17,000.
Selling your home for a big profit? Here are the tax rules
Many homeowners across the country have seen their home values increase in recent years. According to the National Association of Realtors, the median price of existing homes sold in July of 2023 rose 1.9% over July of 2022 after a couple years of much higher increases. The median home price was $467,500 in the Northeast, $304,600 in the Midwest, $366,200 in the South and $610,500 in the West. Be aware of the tax implications if you’re selling your home or you sold one in 2023. You may owe capital gains tax and net investment income tax (NIIT).
