Craig Toberman gives his thoughts on common tax misconceptions to Jeff Berman in the ThinkAdvisor article “13 Things Clients Don’t Get About Taxes: Advisor’s Advice”.
“A common misconception about taxes relates to the popular strategy of tax loss harvesting. The common assertion is that any tax losses realized using this strategy should automatically be seen as “capital gains tax savings.” While tax loss harvesting does lower your tax bill in that particular year, it trades the opportunity to lower your tax bill in a future year”
