$187K Tax Bill No One Questioned: Tax Planning for High-Earning Couples

Your peak earning years are also your peak tax years, and for households earning $500,000 or more, the gap between reactive and proactive tax planning is often measured in six figures over five years.

In this video, Christina walks through a real-world Northern Virginia scenario: a dual-income household with RSUs, a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, a federal pension, an appreciated home, and a Florida property bought with retirement in mind, and the five planning opportunities sitting untouched on their tax return.

What’s covered:

• Reading your tax return as a planning document, not a bill

• RSU vesting and concentrated-position strategy for senior executives

• The Roth conversion window between federal retirement and age 70

• Deferred compensation distribution elections (and why they’re often irrevocable)

• Florida domicile planning for dual-state households

• Donor-advised funds and charitable giving structure for appreciated assets
