When the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 was finalized, it was estimated that 20 million returns would be impacted by the new treatment of dividends and 15 million returns would be impacted by the cut in capital gains.
Changes in the tax rates on dividends and capital gains, as well as a drop in the tax brackets above the 15% rate, requires investors to re-examine certain investment strategies in order to take advantage of the new tax breaks.
This course will review strategies for using the new law to your clients' best advantage.
Topics covered include:
- Holding periods for purposes of the capital gain rate
- Timing rules
- Dividends
- Deductibility of investment interest
- Municipal bonds
- Investment holdings
