Your Windfall Gain Decision Tree

There are ALWAYS options in planning for the future. What's yours?

There isn't a right or wrong answer when planning for Windfall Gains.

There is only a preference for a chosen path. For some, this opportunity looms like climbing Mount Everest, while others take it in stride and add it to their already established financial/tax planning.

Determining a financial/tax plan for the anticipated revaluation of the IQD depends on several things:

OPTION 1: PAYING THE FREEDOM TAX.
OPTION 2: A TAX-FREE RETURN WITH A ROTH.
OPTION 3: REDUCING ESTATE TAXES.
OPTION 4: THE CRUT (Charitable Remainder UniTrust)
OPTION 5: THE FULL MEAL DEAL

The primary purpose in even looking at financial/tax planning is to HAVE PEACE WITH IT ALL!

Living in fear and uncertainty isn't living at all. It's a source of pain and doesn't need to be. You have to decide for yourself what works and what doesn't.

The following pages will give you OPTIONS to ease the stress associated with NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO. For some, it will be doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL, while others will want to prepare for many options and fulfill their long-term plans for their financial future.

So let's get started:

OPTION 1: PAYING THE "FREEDOM TAX".

No matter how much windfall gain you have, paying the "FREEDOM TAX" will be one of the steps you will take. The FREEDOM TAX is the ordinary gains calculated on your tax returns and based on your adjusted gross income. Each tax bracket is applicable based on your marital status and other sources of income. If this is your only plan, you could potentially give up HALF of your investment gains in taxes, but it will also be a required step in ANY PLAN.

Most windfall gain investors will want to cash in SOME of their investment to:

Pay off debts
Hire professionals to complete their financial/tax planning.

REMEMBER Every time you cash in your investment for USD, you create a taxable event. I would encourage you to seek professional help before just spending it all in a rush and then finding yourself in a typical position lottery winners do; lots of fun until the IRS shows up at the door.

OPTION 2: A TAX FREE RETURN ON YOUR windfall gains INVESTMENT.
