1 | Week In Review

A benign CPI report showed inflation cooling off, a sign that the Fed could pause increasing the Fed funds rate. The current environment offers alternatives to equities for some investors. Annex Wealth Management’s Dave Spano and Derek Felske discuss.

2 | Poll Recap

The IRS says tax filing season starts January 23rd, but thankfully that doesn’t mean you have to file your tax returns quite that early. The official deadline for filing your 2022 tax return without needing an extension is April 18, 2023. 

Last week, we asked when you typically file taxes. February and March are when most polltakers said they get this done, with 67% selecting one of these two months. April was third-most common, with 24%. A mere 2% are early birds and typically file their taxes in January, while 3% file after April with an extension. While most have systems in place to file their returns, 4% of people said it really depends on the year for when they get that done.

Where Are My Tax Documents?

Your custodian will gather all the required data from all fund companies and create your 1099 statements. A 1099 statement is generated if you have one of the following: sales proceeds in a non-qualified account, or a distribution from a qualified account (IRA).

These statements are generated throughout January and February, and the custodian (TD Ameritrade, Schwab or Fidelity) mails the statements to our clients at that time. You can also view your 1099 statements once they are available if you have online access at TD Ameritrade, Schwab or Fidelity. Most clients report receiving their 1099 statements in late February.

If you have any questions please contact your Wealth Manager or Client Service Manager.

Thank you!

What Is Direct Indexing?

What Is Direct Indexing?

Direct indexing is an investment approach that allows individuals to directly own the underlying stocks of an index rather than investing through a pooled fund. This structure allows for a higher level of customization, such as excluding specific companies or industries and tailoring the portfolio to personal goals or values. It also supports tax efficient, and gives investors more control over after tax outcomes.
