Eaton Vance Parametric Investment Tax Calculator 2020 Update Now Available
BOSTON, June 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Eaton Vance Corp. (NYSE: EV) (Eaton Vance) announced today the availability of the 2020 update of the Eaton Vance Parametric Investment Tax Calculator at eatonvance.com/mytaxrate and parametricportfolio.com/mytaxrate. The Investment Tax Calculator is designed to assist U.S. individual taxpayers and their advisors in understanding the income taxes that apply to their investment income and gains so that they can make better-informed investment decisions. Based on user inputs for taxable income, tax filing status and place of residence, the calculator determines the total tax rate – including federal, state and local income taxes – that applies to an incremental dollar of the investor's ordinary investment income, in-state and out-of-state municipal bond and U.S. Treasury interest income, qualified dividend income, net realized long-term and short-term capital gains, and qualified retirement plan withdrawals.
The 2020 update of the Investment Tax Calculator reflects available adjustments to the federal, state and local income tax rates and income brackets for 2020, as well as changes in the treatment of taxable income and gains taking effect this year. The 2020 update includes comprehensive coverage of the federal, state, city, county and other local income taxes applicable to the investment income and gains of resident individual taxpayers across the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The Investment Tax Calculator includes a series of tools to enable taxpaying investors and their advisors to:
- compare the after-tax yields of in-state municipal bonds versus out-of-state municipal bonds, U.S. Treasuries and fully taxable investments (see eatonvance.com/yield);
- evaluate selling concentrated stock positions versus diversifying on a tax-deferred basis (see eatonvance.com/concentrated); and
- analyze the impact of changes in interest rates on the returns of laddered municipal bond and corporate bond investments (see eatonvance.com/ladders and parametricportfolio.com/ladders). As a new feature, the 2020 update includes an analysis of the potential tax alpha from harvesting capital losses on a laddered municipal bond portfolio in a rising interest rate environment.
"Going back decades, our conversations with investors and financial advisors point to the need for greater understanding of how taxes affect net investment returns, which vary greatly based on the type of investment and the investor's individual tax circumstances," said Thomas E. Faust Jr., chairman and chief executive officer of Eaton Vance. "Too often, taxpaying investors leave returns on the table by failing to manage tax effects optimally. By making these tools available, we hope to promote better understanding of investment tax effects to help investors achieve better after-tax returns."
"Together with Eaton Vance, Parametric is committed to providing advanced tax solutions for investors and their advisors," said Brian D. Langstraat, chief executive officer of Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric). "As a leader in customized individual separate accounts, we strive to deliver investment results that best fit each investor's particular tax situation."
