What this means for you (and how we can help): • We should review your prior tax returns and determine whether standard deduction vs itemizing still makes the most sense. • We should focus on deduction‐planning now—especially for those items that could go away or change. • You’ll want to consider how future tax rates, law changes, and your income trajectory affect your strategy—because deduction opportunities aren’t static. • We help you stay ahead of these changes and structure your plan so that you’re not caught off guard when the next change rolls through. For disclosure information, see thrivent.com/social. Thrivent and its financial advisors and professionals do not provide legal, accounting, or tax advice.
