Introducing Lineweaver WealthTrac Analysis

We’re excited to share the arrival of our new product, the Lineweaver WealthTrac Analysis. This is a sophisticated tool that helps us not only evaluate your current and future financial goals but to also consider emotions and behavior in a way that helps set you up for success. 

This is a powerful tool that evaluates your current and future financial plan in 5 different areas: Personal Information, Financial Information, Investment Goals, Risk Tolerance, and Risk Score.

It considers variables like your employment, career and income, your Social Security, what you want out of your retirement, what your current financial situation looks like, and much more. By doing this, it can give you a great analysis whether you’re still working or retired.

Wealth planning is always about establishing a goal and working toward it. To help client’s do this, we look at their top three financial goals. We measure where they are now, and what it would take to meet their timeline.

Part of those goals is looking at three time horizons and the strategies that are best matched with each. You must think about the short-term, middle-term, and long-term goals. 

A truly innovative aspect of this program is how it lets us visualize how your risk tolerance and your emotional tolerance match up to the risk you’re actually taking, and the progress you’re making toward your goals. 

Our sophisticated analyzer also goes even further and offers you a score based on all of this information. We look at where you are now, and where you’ll be in the future using the best strategies to accomplish your goals. Then, we’ll take it a step further and analyze the best strategy to start deriving the income you want in retirement while also minimizing your taxes. That’s a scary time for a lot of people, but this tool can help prepare you so there are no surprises.

We always tell people that we’re here to offer a complimentary second opinion on their portfolio, and this tool can also do just that for us. People are usually surprised at the risk they’re taking and the fees they are paying that are robbing from their returns and retirement income.

We can compare different products, strategies, even individual stocks and bonds across different time ranges to give you real insight into the future of your financial plan.

This, combined with our team of analysts and working with our tax department, we’re able to customize a plan that can help accomplish everything a person wants in retirement with a custom portfolio that matches their goals and objectives with a level of risk that they’re comfortable with.

Our Lineweaver WealthTrac Analysis has been a long time coming to fruition. In celebration of its launch, if you schedule an appointment, we’ll offer you a complimentary report. There’s no cost or obligation to you.

Tax changes under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act

Posted By Lineweaver Financial Group
August 12, 2025 Category: Tax Planning

By Mark Sipos, LFG Tax Director The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act has been one of the most discussed topics coming out of Washington in the past few weeks.  LFG Tax Services is diving into the new legislation, deciphering what it means for our clients, and keeping a close watch on tax planning opportunities and IRS interpretations of some of its components. Here are a few highlights we think will be of interest to you: The TCJA rate schedules for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, are now permanently extended, as well as several key parts of the 2017 Act.  No Tax on Tips: A temporary deduction of up to $25,000 in tip income for workers in “customarily tipped” occupations. Individuals phased out for MAGI above $150,000 and Joint filers at $300,000. Expires December 31, 2028. No Tax on Overtime: Temporary above-the-line deduction of $12,500 (single) / $25,000 (joint). Deduction phases out at $150,000 of MAGI (single) / $300,000 (joint), expiring at the end of 2028. The lifetime estate tax exemption has been permanently increased to $15 million (indexed for inflation) per US person. The Act stopped short of a full repeal and would essentially extend the current generous lifetime estate tax exemption. The limit means that only the wealthiest 1% or fewer taxpayers would ever face a tax on their estate after death. The qualified business income deduction under IRC Section 199A is now made permanent at 20%. The phase-in of the limit

Harness the Superpower of Compounding While Reducing “Tax Drag”

Posted By Lineweaver Financial Group
August 12, 2025 Category: Financial Planning, Investment, Finance

By Chad Roope, CFA ®, Chief Investment Officer Compounding is the superpower of investing. Following the Rule of 70, an investment averaging 10% per year will double in just seven years. That’s the kind of growth that builds real wealth over time.  But there’s a catch. Anything that slows compounding, even slightly, can have a dramatic impact on your long-term results. One of the biggest threats to that is unnecessary taxes. In the chart below, a JP Morgan analysis shows that a modest 1% annual “tax drag” on a $1 million investment in the U.S. stock market from 2014 to 2024 would have reduced its value by $326,000. At 2%, the loss jumps to $625,000. That’s money that could have been working for you. We all must pay our fair share of taxes. However, we should be very mindful about not paying extra. At Lineweaver, we employ proven, proactive strategies to help reduce unnecessary taxes so you can keep more of your gains compounding year after year. Systematic Tax Loss Harvesting Throughout the course of the year, some investments rise while others fall. That’s diversification for you. But we can help with taxes and get the benefits of diversification at the same time. For example, if a particular company hits a rough patch and we have a loss in the stock in a taxable account, we can sell the stock and harvest the loss to help with taxes. We can then reinvest the proceeds in a different company that we either like better or
