we have a first aid kit nearby and we are ready to give a lesson," Bill
Bongiorno said. "They also learn to be responsible with a knife and have a
safety circle. Once they pass the tests, they get a whittle chip card, which
they carry with them, then they can use a knife at scout events. These are
requirements and they use these skills to cut food and cook at campouts.
Importantly, they know they can only do this at scout meetings and to
never bring a knife to school or anywhere else outside of scouting."

The tax return deadline GUEST
has been extended until CORNER
mid-July, but you may
have already led your taxes. JUDI

If you were not entirely happy MCANAW

with the results, you might

start seeking ways to change

the outcome for next year. And

one area to look at may be your

investment-related taxes.

To help control these taxes, consider these moves:

• Take full advantage of tax-deferred investments. As an inves-

tor, one of the best moves you can make is to contribute as much

as you can a ord to your tax-deferred accounts – your traditional

IRA and 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored plan – every year.

If you don’t touch these accounts until you retire, you can defer

taxes on them for decades, and when you do start taking money

out, presumably during retirement, you may be in a lower tax

bracket.

• Look for tax-free opportunities. Interest from municipal

bonds typically is exempt from federal income tax, and, in some

cases, from state and local income tax, too. (Some municipal bonds,

however, may be subject to the alternative minimum tax.) And

if you qualify to contribute to a Roth IRA – eligibility is gener-

ally based on income – your earnings can be withdrawn tax-free,

provided you’ve had your account for at least ve years and you

don’t start taking withdrawals until you’re at least 59-1/2. Your

employer may also o er a Roth 401(k), which can provide tax-free

withdrawals. Keep in mind, though, that you contribute after-tax

dollars to a Roth IRA and 401(k),unlike a traditional IRA and

401(k), in which your contributions are made with pre-tax dollars.

• Be a “buy and hold” investor. Your 401(k) and IRA are de- PHOTO: RYAN CROOK

you’ll likely be taxed at your ordinary income tax rate.

• Be prepared for unexpected taxes. Mutual fund managers are

generally free to make whatever trades they choose. And when

they do sell some investments, they can incur capital gains, which

will be passed along to you. If this is a concern, you might look for

funds that do less trading and bill themselves as tax e cient.

While taxes are certainly one factor to consider when you invest,

they should probably not be the driving force. You need to build a

diversi ed portfolio that’s appropriate for your risk tolerance and

time horizon. Not all the investments you select, and the moves

you make with them, will necessarily be the most tax e cient, but

by working with your nancial and tax professionals, you can make

choices that can help you move toward your long-term goals.
