Essential Year-End Tax Strategies for Concentrix Employees: What You Need to Know Before 2023

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for Concentrix Concentrix provides healthcare benefits to its employees through various insurance carriers that include major national insurers. Specific details about their healthcare provider network and insurance options should be confirmed with Concentrix's HR department or employee benefits portal. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 In 2026, Concentrix employees may experience significant healthcare cost increases due to rising premiums in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace, with some states seeing hikes over 60%. A substantial loss of enhanced federal premium subsidies could result in average out-of-pocket premium costs soaring by more than 75%. While many employers, including Concentrix, are adjusting their benefits in response to escalating medical expenses, employees should consider strategic choices in their coverage plans to mitigate the impact of these rising costs and ensure access to affordable healthcare.

Here are some things for Concentrix employees and retirees to consider as they weigh potential tax moves between now and the end of the year.

1. Defer income to next year
Concentrix employees must consider opportunities to defer income to 2023, particularly if you think you may be in a lower tax bracket then. For example, you may be able to defer a year-end bonus or delay the collection of business debts, rent, and payments for services. As a Concentrix employee, doing so may enable you to postpone payment of tax on the income until next year. 

 

2. Accelerate deductions
Concentrix employees and retirees should also look for opportunities to accelerate deductions into the current tax year. If you itemize deductions, making payments for deductible expenses such as medical expenses, qualifying interest, and state taxes before the end of the year (instead of paying them in early 2023) could make a difference on your 2022 return.

3. Make deductible charitable contributions
As a Concentrix employee, if you itemize deductions on your federal income tax return, you can generally deduct charitable contributions, but the deduction is limited to 50% (currently increased to 60% for cash contributions to public charities), 30%, or 20% of your adjusted gross income (AGI), depending on the type of property you give and the type of organization to which you contribute. (Excess amounts can be carried over for up to five years.)

4. Bump up withholding to cover a tax shortfall
As a Concentrix employee, if it looks as though you will owe federal income tax for the year, consider increasing your withholding on Form W-4 for the remainder of the year to cover the shortfall. Time may be limited for Concentrix employees to request a Form W-4 change and for their employers from Concentrix to implement it in time for 2022. The biggest advantage in doing so is that withholding is considered as having been paid evenly throughout the year instead of when the dollars are actually taken from your paycheck. This strategy can be implemented by Concentrix employees to make up for low or missing quarterly estimated tax payments.

5. Save more for retirement
Deductible contributions to a traditional IRA and pre-tax contributions to a Concentrix-sponsored retirement plan such as a 401(k) can reduce your 2022 taxable income. As a fortune 500 employee, if you haven't already contributed up to the maximum amount allowed, consider doing so. For 2022, Concentrix employees can contribute up to $20,500 to a 401(k) plan ($27,000 if you're age 50 or older) and up to $6,000 to traditional and Roth IRAs combined ($7,000 if you're age 50 or older).* The window to make 2022 contributions to a Concentrix-sponsored plan generally closes at the end of the year, while you have until April 18, 2023, to make 2022 IRA contributions.

*Roth contributions are not deductible, but Roth-qualified distributions are not taxable.
