These cuts will bring tax relief, particularly for higher-income earners, creating exciting opportunities to boost retirement savings.
They involve:
removing the $120,000 to $180,000 tax bracket.
increasing the top tax bracket threshold from $180,000 to $200,000 and
reducing the marginal tax rate faced by taxpayers in the $45,000 to $200,000 tax bracket from 32.5% to 30%.
This episode discusses some strategies for high-income earners to consider and take advantage of the opportunities that the tax cuts will create.2024-02-1110 min
