When should I reach out to my advisor for tax planning?

Direct answer

Year-round tax planning is most effective, with special focus in Q4 for tax-loss harvesting, January–April for prior-year returns, and around major life events.

Year-round tax planning is most effective, but especially important in Q4 (Oct–Dec) for year-end tax-loss harvesting and Roth conversions; January–April for reviewing prior-year returns and IRA contribution deadlines; and around major life events such as a new job, bonus, business sale, or inheritance.
