Suggest - Tax Magic: How To Turn Taxable Income Into Tax-Free Income
Believe it or not, there are ways to convert taxable income
into non-taxable income, without any fear of an IRS audit. Here's one of my favorites. It's been part of our tax code for over 30 years, yet many still don't take advantage According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product of it. What am I talking about? The IRA -- Individual Retirement Account. Now, before you say, "Oh, I know all about that one; what's so great about an IRA?", give me 10 minutes to explain 3 new benefits to the IRA rules that you ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug. Examples of combination products may in ay not realize. BENEFIT #1: How To Avoid Tax Rather Than Postpone Tax First, did you know that there are now 2 kinds of IRA's available? The so-called Traditional IRA is the one that first came out way back in the 1970's. But ther lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together. 's a newer version of the IRA that's only a few
years old -- it's called the Roth IRA. And the difference
between these 2 IRA's is huge. Traditional IRA contributions are tax-deductible, resulting in immediate tax savings. The growt here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe of those contributions
is also tax-sheltered while the funds remain in the account. But eventually all tax-deductible Traditional IRA contributions, as well as the growth of those contributions, will be subject to income tax when t d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations. Combination pro e money is withdrawn
from the account. In other words, Traditional IRA's offer the opportunity to temporarily postpone taxes. In contrast, the Roth IRA offers the opportunity to permanently avoid taxes. With a Roth IRA, you don't t ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc ake
a deduction for your contributions; instead, you make
a contribution with "after-tax" dollars. Whatever you put in not only grows tax-free, but can also be withdrawn tax-free. Here's an example to illustrate: If you invest $2, easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi 00 per year for 20 years into a Roth IRA,
you will have invested a total of $40,000. Now if that Roth
IRA earns an average of 10% per year, that $40,000 will
grow into $126,005. Now comes the fun part: Assuming the IRA has existed nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically or at
least 5 years and you are at least 59 ? years old, you can
withdraw the entire $126,005 tax free. In contrast, if this money had been invested in a Traditional IRA, the entire $126,005 would be subject to income tax as it is and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ ithdrawn. The $86,005 of growth is magically converted from taxable income to non-taxable income. Assuming you are in the 15% federal tax bracket, that's a savings of $12,901. Add any state income tax, and you could save over $15, ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi 00 in
taxes. BENEFIT #2: Take An Extra 3 ? Months To Fund Your IRA The deadline for contributing to your IRA is April 15 of the year AFTER the year for which the contribution made. So for Year 2005, you have until April 15, 2006 t ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it. Following aspects would a o put money into your IRA. If you've already invested the maximum (more about that in a moment) by December 31, 2005, then you're done. No more money can go into the IRA for 2005. But if you haven't maxed out your IRA, you have unt dd to the challenges in developing combination products: Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well? Which combination prod l
April 15 to do so. Which brings me to . . . BENEFIT #3: The Maximum Contribution Amounts Have Increased For many years, the most you could put into an IRA was $2,000. Now, the maximum is $4,000 (assuming you have at least that cts are meaningful and rational? Which therapeutic categories to select? Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients? Do combin uch earned income from wages or self-employment
income). And if you are over 49, you can put in another $500, bringing the total maximum to $4,500. A married couple, both age 50 or older, can put a whopping $9,000 per year into a I tions increase the patient compliance? What would be the developing cost? How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen A. Not too shabby, eh? One final note about these Roth IRA rules: For married people, you can only contribute the maximum of $4,000 or $4,500 if your combined income is less than $150,000. If you are single or head of household, yo t? As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel can contribute
the maximum if your income is less than $95,000. For most middle-class folks looking for a perfectly legal way to permanently avoid tax (rather then merely temporarily postpone tax), the Roth IRA fits the bill. Now ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality. Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust comes the hard part -- how to actually implement this
tax avoidance strategy. "We'd like to save as much as we can for our golden years. But $9,000 a year? It's hard to put aside that kind of money. We need every dollar we make ju y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products t to pay the bills." If that's your situation, I'm not going to get up on my "what-do-you-mean-you-can't-save-any-money-for-retirement" soapbox and start preaching at you. I will say this: You've got to start somewhere, and you've .
