We were all once someone’s intern.

Today is National Intern Day, and it made me think about the person who took a chance on me early in my career.

Most of us still remember that person.

For families, there is another reason to pay attention to the teenagers or young adults working this summer.

A paycheck can make a teenager eligible for a Roth IRA.

A teenager who contributes $2,300 a year starting at age 15 could have more than $707,000 by age 65, assuming a 6 percent average annual return.

And the contribution does not have to come out of the teen’s pocket.

A parent or grandparent can fund it, as long as the teen has enough earned income to qualify.

A summer job can be more than a first line on a resume.

It can be the start of a long-term financial habit.

If a teenager in your life is earning money this summer, have the Roth IRA conversation sooner rather than later.

📝 To qualify for the tax-free and penalty-free withdrawal of earnings, Roth IRA distributions must meet a 5-year holding requirement and occur after age 59½. Tax-free and penalty-free withdrawals can also be taken under certain other circumstances, such as the owner's death. The original Roth IRA owner is not required to take minimum annual withdrawals.

📝 Consider talking to your tax, legal, or accounting professional before moving ahead.

Without looking, when did you last update your will?

For most people, the honest answer is "a while ago." Sometimes it's "I don't remember." Occasionally, it's "I'm not sure I ever have."

Estate documents get signed in a year that felt important, and then they go into a drawer.

Four things most people don't realize:

✅ State estate taxes follow the property, not the person. A vacation home in another state can be taxed by that state's rules.

✅ Trusts in recent years may need to be updated to reflect current rules.

✅ Inheritance tax depends on who receives, not what's left. Nieces, nephews, and unmarried partners may owe what a child wouldn't.

✅ The beneficiary form on a retirement account typically overrides the will. The form is filled out once and quietly controls millions.

And many more nuances worth considering.

We’re here if you want an opinion on your estate strategy. If you have a trust, we would encourage you to speak with a professional who is familiar with the relevant rules and regulations before considering any changes.

True or false: A grandparent-owned 529 plan can hurt a grandchild's financial aid eligibility.

❌ False. That rule changed.

The FAFSA opens October 1, and the decisions that affect what shows up on it can make sense to review right now.

Distributions from a grandparent-owned 529 plan no longer count as student income, which previously reduced aid eligibility by up to 50 percent of the amount withdrawn.

For families who held off on funding or using grandparent accounts because of the old rule, the math has fully flipped.

Generally speaking, tuition bills land in August. Before the checks go out, a few things are worth a look:

🔹 Whether a grandparent-owned 529 now makes more sense than a parent-owned one for new contributions

🔹 Which account to draw from first if both exist

🔹 Annual exclusion gifts and the five-year superfunding option ($95,000 per donor, per beneficiary)

🔹 Beneficiary changes if the original student finished school or shifted plans

🔹 A 529 plan is a tax-advantaged education savings plan. Before choosing a plan, it's important to consider not only the state tax treatment but also any associated fees and expenses. Availability of a state tax deduction will depend on your state of residence, as state tax laws and treatment may vary from federal tax laws. If you make nonqualified distributions, earnings will be subject to income tax and a 10 percent federal penalty tax.

🔹 Consider talking to your tax, legal, or accounting professional before moving ahead.

National Parents’ Day is this Sunday, which is news to most parents.

So no, the day will probably not put parents in the spotlight. But parenting is a 365-day job, and one piece of it gets quietly transferred whether parents are intentional or not: financial habits.

Some kids and grandkids absorb attitudes about earning, saving, and risk long before they understand the math.

A few questions worth asking before the next family gathering:

🔹 What do the kids and grandkids actually know about how the family operates financially?

🔹 What do we want them to understand about earning, saving, giving, and risk?

🔹 When was the last family discussion about money that was not about a specific bill or expense?

🔹 Is there a generational wealth strategy, and does the next generation know enough about it to carry it?

The families we see do this best hold a standing meeting once or twice a year, and summer is a perfect time!

Nothing formal. Just enough rhythm that the next generation knows what is being built and why.

Thinking about making some 🍃 green 🍃 changes to your home? Good news! There are new and improved tax credit opportunities that homeowners can tap into.

Per the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the IRS has proposed new legislation that allows homeowners and prospective homebuyers to tap into new tax breaks, resulting in reduced tax bills.

Summer with kids is not cheap.

And camp is often one of the biggest line items!

But did you know you may be able to use a Dependent Care FSA for day camp costs?

What qualifies:

✅ Day camps, including specialty camps for sports, coding, or arts

✅ Care that allows the parent (and spouse, if married) to work or look for work

✅ Children under age 13 at the time of care

What doesn’t count:

❌ Overnight or sleepaway camps, even if the daytime hours are separated out

❌ Tutoring, music lessons, or other primarily educational programs

❌ Camps attended while one parent is at home and available to provide care

If your child has a booked summer and you meet any of the conditions above, it's worth considering. If you have specific questions, consult with your HR team.

⚠️ A 10 percent position in a single stock is sometimes called a concentrated position.

Most people don't realize it when they have one.

It's usually not a conscious decision.

Ten years go by, and one company’s stock is a large percentage of the portfolio.

That isn't loyalty. It's exposure.

🔍 A few questions you might consider:

🛑 If the stock dropped tomorrow, what would change for your family?

🛑 Is the position there because selling always felt premature?

🛑 Has the embedded capital gain quietly become the reason nothing has been done?

There are several ways to unwind a concentrated position without writing a large check to the IRS.

The correct path depends on the situation.

If this sounds familiar, we’d welcome a conversation to share ideas that may help. Before any action is taken, however, it’s important to consult your tax, legal, and accounting professionals so you understand the tax consequences of any decision.

The newly finalized IRS regulations bring significant changes, including a higher age threshold for Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) and reduced penalties for missed RMDs.

There are also important updates regarding annuities, inherited IRAs, and Roth accounts that could provide more flexibility and clarity. Swipe for details ↩️

Curious about how these changes might affect your strategy? Reach out to our team today to discuss how you can navigate these updates effectively. We’re here to help you make informed decisions for your financial future!

December is the busiest month for RMDs.

But waiting until then can mean you miss some chances with charitable giving or with estate ideas.

For anyone age 73 or older, the required minimum distribution is mandatory, and the penalty for missing a deadline can be steep. If taken before age 59½, withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income and may be subject to a 10 percent penalty.

But the timing of the withdrawal and which accounts it comes from can shape the tax bill in ways a December scramble can’t.

A few things worth knowing:

👉 Multiple IRAs can be aggregated; retirement plans cannot. Each RMD must come from that specific plan.

👉 In 2026, a Qualified Charitable Distribution may allow up to $111,000 per individual to go directly from an IRA to a qualified charity, satisfying the RMD without adding to taxable income. Check with your tax, legal, or accounting professional if you’re considering this approach.

👉 A QCD has to be a direct transfer. Once the money lands in a personal account, the option is gone.

👉 Coordinating across accounts, spouses, and inherited IRAs is where most of the value might sit.

Mid-year is when there is still room to model it.

If RMDs are part of your plan this year, this is a good time to map them.
