Capital Gains Tax Strategies
Selling a business, an investment property, or a concentrated stock position can create a significant tax event. The timing, structure, and sequencing of that sale can meaningfully affect what you ultimately keep.
We help clients evaluate the planning options available around asset sales and investment gains well before a transaction happens, so decisions are made deliberately rather than at the last minute. Every strategy below is subject to applicable rules and individual circumstances vary — we coordinate closely with your CPA and attorney throughout.
What we help you plan for
Evaluating when and how an asset sale is structured, including installment sale options, which may help distribute the tax impact of a transaction over time.
For qualifying real estate, reviewing whether a like-kind exchange may help defer gain recognition as part of a broader portfolio strategy, subject to applicable rules and deadlines.
Evaluating whether reinvesting eligible gains into a Qualified Opportunity Fund may align with your investment goals and timeline, subject to applicable rules.
Reviewing a portfolio for opportunities to realize losses that may help offset realized gains elsewhere, as part of an ongoing, coordinated tax strategy.
Reviewing whether a deferred sales trust structure may help spread the recognition of a gain over time as part of a coordinated sale strategy, subject to applicable rules.
Evaluating how the primary residence gain exclusion may apply to a home sale and how ownership, use, and timing requirements factor into that planning.
Coordinating capital gains planning with a high-income earner's broader tax picture, including timing, income bracket management, and other applicable planning considerations.
“The tax outcome of a sale is often decided long before the closing date — in how it was planned.”
