Making Your Tax Bracket Work
With the tax filing deadline for 2020 extended to May 17th this year, we felt it would be helpful to review how our tax code works. The overall federal tax system is a progressive one, with total federal tax burdens a larger percentage of income for higher-income households than for lower-income households. Have a look at the below video to better understand how it works and what it means for you in managing your taxable income. Please note, with the tax filing extension this year, you now have until the deadline on May 17th to make IRA contributions.

By taking a look at the "Greening" of the companies that make up the S&P 500, we can see the shift that is occuring.
