Personal Capital Publishes Investment Tax Guide

Investment Tax Guide covers each of the key tactics for tax optimization:

• Tax Loss Harvest – create tax benefits from investment losses
• Defer Gains – postpone or eliminate taxes on investment gains
• Defer Short-Term Gains – slash your tax rate on gains by holding for one year
• Avoid Mutual Funds – they're tax inefficient
• Tax-Advantaged Securities – use municipal bonds in high tax brackets
• Tax-Advantaged Accounts – maximize the value of your 401k, 403b or IRA
• Roth Conversions – turn your IRA into a super-charged tax minimization machine
• Primary Residence – shelter up to $500,000 of gain when you sell your house
• Tax Location – put income-generating assets in tax-deferred accounts and capital gain-generating assets in taxable accounts

"Why do you need this book?" said Harris. "Because most people who call themselves financial advisors are actually brokers. Brokers sell what makes them money, not what makes you money. Too often they don't care about the fees they charge or the taxes you pay, and they've descended on Washington to repeal the rules designed to protect your retirement savings. So, defend yourself:  First, read this book. Second, fire your broker and find a true advisor – the book tells you how to tell the difference."

Investment Tax Guide is 200 full-color pages, available on Amazon for $19.95. Until April 15, both paperback and e-book editions are available for free at personalcapital.com/tax.
