Many families are shocked to learn that their trust can be taxed at much higher rates than they are personally. In this video, CFP® Jeremy Riggs from Base Wealth Management explains why this happens, using a real-world example of a couple whose family trust was paying more in taxes than they were.
You’ll learn:
-Why trusts hit the highest tax brackets at very low income levels
-How interest from cash and CDs inside a trust can create a major tax drag
-Why account titles can be just as important as your investment strategy
