Think Ahead: Expert Advise on Personal Audit Risk

Evergreen Exchange

In our latest podcast, one of Evergreen Gavekal’s seasoned CFP® & CEPA professionals, Kaeli Kaainoa, sits down with our newest hire, Melissa Hilty, an attorney with an LLM in Taxation and over 15 years of experience with the IRS. They discuss her extensive tax expertise, the invaluable lessons learned from her career, and how she will support our clients with her deep knowledge of tax strategy. The conversation highlights risk management by sharing reasons why some ultra-high-net-worth families may get audited. The discussion then dives into effective tax planning strategies, such as implementing Spousal Lifetime Access Trusts (SLATs) in anticipation of the sunset of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to optimize their tax strategies and avoid costly mistakes.
