Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for Visteon Visteon Corporation primarily partners with various health insurance providers for its employee healthcare plans. The specific healthcare providers may vary based on the location and plan options chosen by employees. Companies like UnitedHealthcare and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield are among the larger insurers that often operate in regions where Visteon has a significant employee presence. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases for Visteon in 2026 As 2026 approaches, Visteon employees could experience significant increases in healthcare costs, driven primarily by the imminent expiration of enhanced federal subsidies that have previously mitigated premium prices. Nationwide, ACA marketplace premiums are projected to surge by as much as 66.4%, with many insurers raising rates in response to higher medical expenses and adverse market conditions. Consequently, households relying on employer-sponsored insurance may find themselves absorbing a larger share of the rising costs as companies rethink their benefit offerings in the face of escalating healthcare expenses. By understanding these changes and planning accordingly, Visteon employees can better navigate the potential financial impacts. Click here to learn more

'As the tax landscape evolves, it's crucial for Visteon employees to carefully weigh year-end moves such as contributing to retirement accounts or adjusting withholding, and an advisor like Brent Wolf from The Retirement Group, a division of Wealth Enhancement Group, can guide you in optimizing your tax strategy for long-term financial success.'

In this article we will discuss:

  • 1. Tax strategies for employees and retirees of Visteon companies, including deferring income and accelerating deductions.

  • 2. Charitable contributions and their impact on tax returns for individuals who itemize deductions.

  • 3. The importance of required minimum distributions (RMDs) and year-end investment decisions.

  • According to a recent study by the Insured Retirement Institute (IRI), a leading financial research firm, 60% of Baby Boomers plan to continue working in some capacity during retirement. This means that for many employees and retirees of Visteon companies, tax planning strategies will continue to be relevant well beyond retirement age. It is important for this demographic to consider the impact of their retirement income on their tax liabilities, as well as the tax implications of continuing to work in retirement. With that taken into account, Here are some factors for employees and retirees of Visteon companies to consider as they evaluate potential tax moves between now and the end of the year.

  • 1. Defer income to next year

Consider opportunities to defer income until 2023, especially if you believe you will be in a reduced tax bracket in 2023. For instance, you may be able to defer an end-of-year bonus or delay the collection of business debts, rent, and service payments. As an employee of Visteon, doing so may allow you to defer income tax payment until the following year.

2. Accelerate deductions

Employees and retirees of Visteon should also seek opportunities to accelerate deductions into the current tax year. If you itemize deductions, paying medical expenses, qualifying interest, and state taxes before the end of the year (instead of paying them in early 2023) could affect your 2022 tax return.

3. Make deductible charitable contributions

Generally, if you are an employee of Visteon and itemize deductions on your federal income tax return, you can deduct charitable contributions up 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 donate and the type of organization to which you donate. (Exceeding quantities may be carried forward for a maximum of five years.)

4. Bump up withholding to cover a tax shortfall

If it appears that you will incur federal income tax for the year as an employee of Visteon, consider increasing your withholding on Form W-4 for the remainder of the year to cover the shortfall. Time may be limited for Visteon employees to request a Form W-4 modification and for their employers to implement the change by 2022. The greatest benefit is that withholding is considered to have been paid equitably throughout the year, as opposed to when the dollars are actually deducted from your paycheck. This strategy can be utilized by employees of Visteon to make up for missed or insufficient quarterly estimated tax payments.

5. Save more for retirement

You can reduce your 2022 taxable income through contributions to a traditional IRA and a 401(k) sponsored by a Visteon company. If you are an employee of Visteon and have not already contributed the maximum amount, you should consider doing so. For 2022, Visteon employees can contribute up to $20,500 to a 401(k) plan ($27,000 if over 50) and up to $6,000 to traditional and Roth IRAs combined ($7,000 if over 50).* The window for 2022 contributions to a Visteon-sponsored plan typically concludes at the end of the year, whereas the deadline for 2022 IRA contributions is April 18, 2023.

Contributions to a Roth account are not tax-deductible, but qualified Roth distributions are not taxable.

6. Take the required minimum distributions

If you are 72 or older and work for Visteon, you are generally required to take required minimum distributions (RMDs) from traditional IRAs and Visteon-sponsored retirement plans (exceptions apply if you are still employed and participating in Visteon's retirement plan). The deadline for withdrawals is typically the end of the year for most individuals. The penalty for noncompliance is severe: fifty percent of the quantity that was not distributed on time. As an employee of Visteon, it is imperative that you make these distributions on time to avoid the late payment penalty.

7. Weigh year-end investment moves

Visteon employees and retirees shouldn't let tax considerations dictate investment decisions. Nonetheless, you should consider the tax implications of any year-end investment decisions. If you have realized net capital gains from the sale of securities at a profit, you may be able to avoid taxation on some or all of these gains by selling negative positions. Any losses in excess of your gains as an employee of Visteon can be used to mitigate up to $3,000 of ordinary income ($1,500 if your filing status is married filing separately) or carried forward to reduce your tax liability in future years.

Conclusion

Preparing your taxes is like taking care of your health. Just as you need to stay on top of your physical well-being to prevent future health issues, you also need to plan ahead and take the necessary steps to ensure that you're not hit with unexpected tax liabilities in the future. By deferring income, accelerating deductions, making charitable contributions, and contributing to your retirement accounts, you can ensure that your financial health is in good shape for the years ahead. Just as you wouldn't skip your annual check-up, you shouldn't overlook the importance of taking care of your taxes.
