- Tax ServicesFailure to consider tax management as a component of wealth planning can impact long-term results and limit your spending power in retirement. One way that we attempt to deliver better portfolio outcomes is by implementing appropriate tax management strategies for clients. We achieve this in four ways: tax transition techniques, capital gains management, striving for optimization of asset locations, and use of tax-loss harvesting.

- Tax DeductionsBesides federal tax savings, over 30 states currently offer either tax deductions or credits for 529 plan contributions.(4) Since you can generally claim state tax benefits each year you contribute to a 529 plan, it usually makes sense to continue making 529 deposits until the last tuition bill is paid.
- Income Tax*Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing in a 529 savings plan. The official statement, which contains this and other information, can be obtained by calling your financial advisor. Read it carefully before you invest.The availability of such tax or other benefits may be conditioned on meeting certain requirements. 529 Plans are subject to enrollment, maintenance, administrative and management fees and expenses. Non-qualified withdrawals are subject to federal and state income tax and a 10% penalty.
- Capital Gains TaxesAlthough contributions are not deductible, earnings in a 529 plan grow federal tax-free and will not be taxed when the money is taken out to pay for college. Other savings vehicles, such as mutual funds, will give up a portion of their earnings to annual income taxes and also get hit with a capital gains tax at withdrawal.
- Investment ManagementInvestment strategies determine when and where we invest your assets, but investment planning determines how and why.
- Mutual FundsCollege Savings Plans work much like a retirement account by investing your after-tax contributions in mutual funds or similar investments.

- Long Term CareAnother key retirement health and financial concern is long-term care. While many think long-term care insurance is out of reach, there are strategies to make it more affordable. Bundling a permanent life insurance policy with long-term care insurance can prove a great option for many high asset individuals. Hybrid policies can be a good investment if you otherwise would have spent the money or kept it in a low-yield account and a policy with a limited number of payments might even guarantee the premiums will stay the same. A wealth advisor at Magellan can help you determine the right path for you.

- Living TrustsRevocable living trusts are a flexible and practical estate planning tool. A revocable living trust can accomplish a variety of personal, family and tax planning goals. It typically lets you retain complete control of trust assets during your lifetime, but it also lets you appoint someone who will manage your assets for you, either during your lifetime or after your death. A revocable living trust can be very helpful for someone who becomes disabled, needs help in managing all the details of his or her financial affairs, or someone who wants to delegate those tasks to someone else as a matter of convenience.
- Charitable Remainder TrustsA charitable trust is an irrevocable trust where a charity is the income beneficiary for a fixed number of years and the remainder of that trust is passed to noncharitable beneficiaries. Assets can be passed to the noncharitable beneficiaries at a reduced gift- or estate-tax value. Charitable remainder trust is irrevocable trust that provides current income to the noncharitable beneficiary(ies).
