"Taxes Matter even in Retirement"

5/5

What do you like best about Tax Clarity?

Easy way to show clients and prospects clear tax inefficiency's and help them visualize how we can help their tax situation. Prospects realize pretty quickly that they can't do this kind of planning without us and our tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tax Clarity?

The software does have a learning curve, but once I got it, it has been invaluable in landing larger accounts where taxes make a big diffrence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tax Clarity solving and how is that benefiting you?

I combine Tax Clarity with Social Security Timing to help clients and prospects take a holistic approach to retirement. Retirement Account withdrawals can affect taxes on Social Security, and withdrawals from Social Security will help determine how much taxes they will pay on Retirement Account withdrawals; they are interconnected.

"clients love it!"

5/5

What do you like best about Tax Clarity?

Easy to use. it takes into account all the tax ramifications, such as social security taxation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tax Clarity?

Graphs take a lot of explanation for clients to understand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tax Clarity:

It provides everything they promised. Support has been excellent. I would recommend it highly! it gives me a way to show clients the tax issues involved with proposed changes to their financial situation. it is one of the few that shows social security tax changes and more subtle ones, like Medicare. When i compare to their actual tax returns, i find it to be extremely accurate. Other programs i have tried gave me substantially different numbers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tax Clarity solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tax ramifications of implementing options. Often, there are surprises that would have had a client make a different decision Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Huge fan of Tax Clarity"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Tax Clarity?

My favorite feature is the visual map of the marginal/effective tax rates. After entering my client's data, I'm able to see how close we are to the next bracket. This allows me to make assumptions about possible tax loss harvesting, tax gain harvesting, ROTH conversion, strategic IRA withdrawals, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tax Clarity?

I wish there was more transparency in the data. I love how the program tells me that even though their marginal bracket is 12%, the next dollar of income generated would be taxed at an effective rate of 27%. Conceptually I understand why, but I would like to see the data behind that answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Katie Godbout of Tax Clarity

Hi Adam,

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts about Tax Clarity. We're so happy to hear that you've found our unique Tax Map feature really helpful for visualizing potential strategies. I'll pass along your note about including additional data in the future to our software development team. We greatly appreciate your feedback.

"Tax Clarity has been amazing"

5/5

What do you like best about Tax Clarity?

I use tax clarity everyday, multiple times per day when I meet with clients. it helps so much for providing advice and allowing me to look as professional as I possibly can Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tax Clarity?

It is very easy to use. Not much to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tax Clarity:

Use it. it is very helpful. many advisor or even CPA's don't use a software like this and it helps to set you apart as an advisor or consultant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tax Clarity solving and how is that benefiting you?

I don't think I'm able to give good investment advice without running a tax analysis so Tax Clarity allows me to give good advice. my clients love it because it allows them to easily see where they are at and where they might be in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Katie Godbout of Tax Clarity
