More Income on Fixed-Income Investments

More Income on Fixed-Income Investments

Be aware of the increased income you may be earning on bonds and other fixed-income investments this year. After all, higher returns mean higher income and potentially higher taxes.


Example: If you’re in a 30% marginal tax bracket, and you’ve earned an additional $3,000 of interest income so far this year, that’s an extra $900 of income tax you might not have planned on—and just for the first half of 2024.


Depending on the type of fixed-income investments in your portfolio, your potentially higher returns on them in 2024 could be enough to bump you up a tax bracket. Also, a bracket bump plus higher returns potentially exposes you to estimated tax penalties and possibly alternative minimum tax.* As with any tax planning, be sure to consult a tax professional.


*This is a hypothetical example and is not representative of any investment strategies. Actual results may vary.
