Sustaining a successful investment is all about looking for ways to reduce your expenses and increase your gains. One simple way to achieve this is to invest in tax-efficient avenues which reduce your tax burden by increasing the tax returns and helping you deduct tax credits from your taxable income.

Let’s look at some tax-efficient ways to invest your well-earned money.

 

Choosing the tax-efficient accounts

If you have a regular brokerage account, it won’t let you minimize your taxes. However, some accounts will offer you potential tax benefits.

 

Traditional IRAs and 401k

These are retirement accounts that offer you tax-deferred growth. When you contribute to traditional IRAs and 401k’s, you can avail immediate tax credits that you can deduct directly from your income.

 

Roth IRAs and 401k’s

Roth accounts are exempted from tax. Contributions to these accounts are done with after-tax income, so you don’t face any immediate tax deductions. However, these accounts can grow tax-free with any future distributions exempted from tax as well.

Irrevocable trusts

When you remove your assets from the personal estate property and set up irrevocable trusts, you can easily protect your estate property from gift and estate tax.

Treasury & municipal bonds

Most municipal bonds are exempted from the federal tax net. Moreover, when you purchase tax-free municipal bonds in your local state, they can also offer you local and state tax exemptions.

 

Treasury bonds offer tax advantages as any interest earned on them is exempted from local and state tax. But at the federal level, you’ll have to pay taxes on these bonds.

Other investments

Some other investment opportunities can help you reduce the tax burden:

 

Real estate: When you purchase real estate, you can benefit from several write-offs and tax deductions.

 

Annuities: Annuities are investment products offered by insurance firms. These investments generally offer you tax-deferred growth.
