The American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) wants to help Americans use the information in their tax return to develop a plan that will put them on the path to reach their financial goals. The AICPA’s Personal Financial Planning Section and 360 Degrees of Financial Literacy are offering a free consumer webcast this Friday, April 27 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM ET where CPA financial planners Lori Luck and Sarah Lane will walk Americans through the steps showing them how they can use their tax return to develop a well-rounded comprehensive financial plan.
Though many Americans may be eager to put away their financial records now that the 2017 tax-year filing deadline has passed, now is the perfect time to plan for the future while all their documents are readily available. Since tax impacts all areas of planning – estate, retirement, risk management and investments, a tax return doubles as a roadmap to a more prosperous financial future. In it, Americans can find details of their cash flows, important investment information, insights to retirement and estate planning and identify overlooked strategies to help them achieve their financial goals.
In this plain-English financial literacy webcast, listeners will learn:
- Planning steps to take in the current tax environment
- How to ensure your retirement plan delivers
- How to protect your assets
- How to evaluate your tax and investment planning strategies
- And more …
