Selling a valuable asset in a high-tax situation can leave a seller with far less than the headline price. Federal and state capital gains, depreciation recapture, and the net investment income surtax stack up quickly. A pre-sale analysis looks at the whole picture before the transaction closes, when the outcome can still be changed.
TaxWealth enables property owners to exit valuable assets without being forced into a reinvestment strategy or giving up liquidity. By analyzing the transaction before it closes and structuring it accordingly, clients keep more of their wealth at closing. This approach increases usable capital, maintains full tax compliance, and provides the freedom to direct proceeds according to their financial and legacy goals.
A business owner was selling a privately held business and personal residence in South Carolina in the $2.5M–$5M range. On a conventional sale, the projected combined federal and state tax fell in the $1M–$2.5M range, a large share of the transaction lost to tax, cutting the seller's liquidity and reinvestment options.
After a full pre-sale analysis, TaxWealth structured the transaction so the seller kept substantially more of the proceeds, about 84% more usable capital than a conventional sale would have produced. That capital stayed available to the seller to reinvest and build on.
