What is Tax-Gain Harvesting?

It is a strategy where you sell investments that have increased in value to "realize" the gain while your child is in a 0% federal tax bracket. You then immediately buy back the investment. This raises the "cost basis," so when the money is eventually spent years later, there are little to no taxes to pay.

How much can I save in taxes?

Depending on current IRS limits, your child may be eligible to harvest up to $2,700 per year in long-term capital gains at a 0% federal rate. Over 18 years, this 'step-up' in basis strategy may meaningfully reduce capital gains taxes when the assets are eventually used.

Is there a minimum amount to start harvesting?

Yes. To keep things simple and ensure the tax benefit is worth the effort, we set a "Harvest Floor". We only trigger the automation when your gains reach a meaningful level.

How is this different from a 529?

While 529s are specifically for education, a Harvest UTMA/UGMA account can be used for anything for the benefit of the child. It offers more flexibility while still providing a path to federal-tax-free growth through automated harvesting, when used for the child's benefit.

Does my child need to file a tax return?

Harvesting gains may require filing a separate tax return for your child if the gains exceed certain IRS or state thresholds. FutureMoney provides a clear summary to make this process easy for you or your tax professional.
