James A. Lavorgna Founder of Spencer Advisory Services, Releases Insightful Article on Tax Mitigation Strategies for Business Owners
James Lavorgna discusses strategies for tax mitigation
James A. Lavorgna has published a compelling new article focusing on charitable tax strategies to mitigate taxes. His expert analysis highlights two favored approaches: the reversionary charitable lead trust and the charitable bargain sale. The article provides real-life examples demonstrating how these strategies can be effectively used for tax planning and wealth management.
Tax Mitigation Using a Reversionary Charitable Lead Trust
When individuals with substantial retirement accounts consider converting traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs, they often face significant tax liabilities. James A. Lavorgna explains how utilizing a reversionary charitable lead trust (CLT) can strategically mitigate this tax impact. The tax deduction earned by funding a CLT can offset the income recognized during a Roth conversion. This deduction can be carried forward for up to five years under current IRS rules, applying to all charitable deductions.
Example 1: The Robinson Family
The Robinson family, with a large traditional IRA, decided to convert $500,000 to a Roth IRA, increasing their taxable income. Simultaneously, they set up a CLT with $1 million, specifying an annual payout of $40,000 to their favorite charities for the next 20 years. This setup allowed them to claim a charitable deduction for the present value of the expected payments, potentially offsetting $300,000 of taxes in the year of the conversion. The remaining assets in the CLT pass to the Robinsons' beneficiaries, providing tax-efficient growth and minimizing future estate taxes.
Example 2: The Joan Hansen Family
Joan Hansen, in a lower-rate tax state, regularly donates to her church and local charities. She set up a CLT with a charitable distribution of $15,000 per year over a 14-year term, resulting in approximately a $200,000 charitable deduction. This deduction offsets distributions from her Roth conversions over the next six years. The portfolio will revert tax-free to her children at the end of the term, allowing her to maximize future donations and leverage the dollars she plans to leave to her children.
James shared: "I feel that this article demonstrates the power of forward-looking holistic planning, providing business owners and individuals with innovative strategies to manage their wealth and taxes efficiently. My book, "Wealth Unleashed: Navigating Wealth and Taxation for Business Owners, Wealthy Families, and Their Advisors," offers further insights into these strategies and more."
