I was recently asked, “What's the difference between shareholder yield and dividend yield?” 🤔

It occurred to me that most people likely don’t know the answer, so I figured I’d share a quick overview.

Dividend yield focuses solely on dividends paid to shareholders. It's calculated by dividing the annual dividends per share by the stock price.

Shareholder yield is more comprehensive. It includes dividends plus share repurchases and debt reduction. Companies can provide value to shareholders through dividends, buying back stock, and paying down debt.

Therefore, in some instances, shareholder yield might give you a more complete picture because it reflects more about what a company is doing for its shareholders.

So, the next time you evaluate a stock, think about looking at shareholder yield as well as dividend yield.

Dividends, stock buybacks, and debt payment plans can be stopped or decreased at any time. If a company experiences financial difficulties, its board of directors and management team may elect to reduce or eliminate any of the three for a period of time and then update shareholders on the decision.

The clock is ticking. 🕰️

Due to the sunset of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the federal gift and estate tax exemption is currently scheduled to drop from $12.9 million for individuals ($25.8 for married couples) to around $5.5 million (adjusted for inflation) in 2026.

Many who had assumed that they might not be subject to estate taxes now need to consider how this could impact them.

While 2026 may seem far away, now is the time to start preparing. There may be a strategy that can help you transfer wealth to your heirs while managing potential estate taxes.

These details are complex, so it’s best to seek guidance from financial and legal experts who can better assess your individual situation. With the appropriate strategy, you may be able to protect your legacy for the people and causes you care about.

Quiz - What Portion of Federal Revenue Comes from Individual Income Taxes?

Which of the following is false?

(A) Individual income taxes provide 35% of the federal revenue for the year.
(B) Corporate income taxes provide 8% of the federal revenue for the year.
(C) Social Security and Medicare taxes provide 37% of the federal revenue for the year.
(D) The top 50% of all taxpayers paid 98% of all federal individual income taxes, while the bottom 50% paid the remaining 2%.

The answer: (A) Individual income taxes are expected to provide 49% of federal revenue for 2023, more than any other category and more than most would guess.

Another stat that may be of interest shows that the top 10% of earners—those who earn more than $150,000 annually—contribute 74% of all tax revenue.

With the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 set to expire at the end of 2025, some of the temporary measures included within it are set to revert to previous levels. This may be an excellent time to evaluate what these changes could mean for you and to work with a tax and financial professional who can speak to the anticipated changes.

Clothes: Clothing retailers offer big sales on items from sweaters and coats to dresses and shoes

Home goods: Appliances, furniture, and bedding

The team’s tips for success:

◾ Start shopping early: The best deals will go quickly.

◾ Beware of scams: There are always scams circulating around Cyber Monday. Be sure to shop only from reputable retailers.

Catch-Up Contributions 11/17/2023

Over age 50? You may be able to catch-up on retirement.

Catch-Up Contributions Workers 50+ may make contributions to their qualified retirement plans above the limits imposed on younger workers.

11/17/2023

Financial Tip Friday: If you are over 70½, you may want to start thinking about making charitable donations from your traditional IRA and have them count toward your required minimum distribution (RMD). This is called a qualified charitable distribution (QCD).

Here’s how it works: A QCD is a direct asset transfer from a traditional IRA to a charity or non-profit organization of your choice. The organization must be tax-exempt under IRS guidelines. Remember, the original owner of a Roth IRA doesn’t have to take RMDs.

◾ The donation counts toward your RMD for the year, so you can fulfill your RMD while also giving to charity.
◾ The IRS says you must be at least 70½ to make a QCD.
◾ The distribution may not be included in your gross income. A tax professional can provide more guidance.

There are details and certain restrictions that are important to understand. For example, the IRS puts a $100,000 limit on the total distribution.

There are many strategies for incorporating charitable donations into your personal finances. Consider asking for help from a financial professional who has insights into charitable strategies. With a QCD, for example, it’s critical to allow enough time for the asset transfer to occur.

At age 73, you must start RMDs from a traditional IRA in most circumstances. Withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty.

Getting a Head Start on College Savings 11/15/2023

College, kids and costs.

Getting a Head Start on College Savings A few strategies that may help you prepare for the cost of higher education.

11/14/2023

What would happen if you gave low-income public school kindergarteners bank accounts with $50 earmarked for college?

I just read in the Wall Street Journal about how a kindergarten-to-college savings program in San Francisco did just this. Public and private donations funded student bank accounts with $50 balances and encouraged students to save money through various incentives, such as art competitions and scholarship opportunities.

The city matched deposits, which had to be used for college or higher-education-related expenses.

They found that early exposure to saving and financial literacy can impact children’s (and their families’) financial habits.

With all the doom and gloom we see, I thought this was worth a share. I hope other cities and states adopt similar programs to help more children learn about saving money and financial literacy.

What do you think of the idea?
