Special Note!


With higher interest rates last year, we’ve seen a number of clients turn to cash, money markets, and CDs to capture these elevated rates. In doing so we’ve also seen a significant amount of taxable interest reported on tax returns. While collecting more income is great, we know it’s a pain to pay more in tax. The current market, economic, and interest rate landscape presents an opportunity to lock in high rates while managing the tax impact more effectively.


It's possible, as of today, to secure annual interest of 4.5 - 5% for up to 3 years while enjoying tax efficiency compared to a typical CD. We’ve helped many clients reevaluate and switch gears. Please connect with us if you are interested to learn more. (Click here to contact us.)

How Long Should I Keep My Tax Returns?

As a general rule, you should keep your tax returns and supporting documents for at least three years from the due date of your return. That’s generally how long the IRS has to question items on your return and to bill you for any additional tax. It’s also generally the timeframe to file an amended return to seek a refund.
