Finance 6080 Income Tax Planning Case #6 In the case of Ned and Nelly Normal. Address the following in their case: 1.
If the Normal’s decide to maximum fund their 401(k) plans through work, would it be better for them to contribute to the 401(k) on a Pre-tax basis or via the Roth 401(k) provision. Calculate the difference and discuss the pros and cons of each type of account. Give them a recommendation. 2.
Assume that the Normal’s employee stock purchase plan with a current value of $380,500 has long term capital gains of approximately $200,000. They have expressed a desire to sell and diversify this stock. They also have annual charitable commitments to their Church and Alma Mater for approximately $27,000 per year. Give them a recommendation after comparing and contrasting the differences between: a.
Selling the stock and paying tax on the sale; then giving cash to charity. b.
Gifting the stock directly to the respective charitable institutions. c.
Utilizing a Donor Advised Fund to facilitate their charitable giving. 3.
Give any other recommendations to them on ways they could practically save money on income taxes each year.
