Assignment: Your tax dashboard

A one-page summary of the fifteen numbers that matter for your household.

Assignment

Build a household tax dashboard for the current year. Include projected AGI, projected marginal rate, current-year contribution status for every tax-advantaged account, and a plan for at least three tax-lever actions before December 31.

Deliverables

  • A one-page dashboard listing every tax-advantaged account with current-year contributions and remaining capacity.
  • A projected AGI and marginal rate for the year.
  • A written plan for three tax-lever actions to complete before December 31, with a target dollar impact for each.
  • A short reflection on which of the three actions the household is most likely to skip and why.

Rubric

  • Every tax-advantaged account is listed and current-year contributions are accurate.
  • Marginal rate is computed correctly, including state and payroll layers.
  • Each action names a specific dollar amount and a deadline before year-end.
  • The reflection is honest about the barriers the household faces.
