My Synopsis for Physician Investors
By Dr. David Edward Marcinko FACFAS MBA CMP™
www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org
[Publisher-in-Chief]
I was at Emory University this past weekend for an unrelated colloquium. But all the chatter, of course, was about SCOTUS, taxes and the just announced ACA decision.
Most doctors I know – just don’t like paying needless taxes. So, what’s the buzz for physicians and other medical professional investors, and their financial advisors [FAs]?
The Synopsis
The taxes to pay for the Affordable Care Act include a new tax on medical devices that will increase costs to individuals and healthcare providers.
There also is a new 3.8% Medicare tax. It applies in 2013 to income and capital gains.
If the expected post-election tax bill extends the current 15% capital gain rate, then the capital gains tax rate will be 18.8% in 2013. However, if the 15% federal capital gains tax rate is increased to 20%, then the new rate in January of 2013 will be 23.8%.
In addition to dividend seeking investors, the increase in capital gains rate may also influence charitable gifts of appreciated property in 2013.
Assessment
Please weigh-in all you FAs and healthcare focused CPAs. What is a physician investor supposed to do, now?
