\"\"The tax rules in 2015 will feature new laws. However, there are still ways that you can invest tax-free. Today, we will provide you with a few of the ways to help you start preparing for tax time now.<\/p>\n

Invest in a 401 (k) with Price Matching by Your Employer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your 401 (k) is a great way to invest your money. You benefit by receiving a lower AGI. While being smart with your money your employer will match between 3-4% of what you invest.<\/p>\n

Invest in a Traditional IRA<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can invest a maximum of $5,500 per year into your Traditional IRA account. This account type is a tax-deferred account like the 401 (k). However, you can only make a certain amount of money to qualify for the deduction. Single filers who also have a retirement plan from their employer are only allowed to make between $61,000 and $71,000.<\/p>\n

Contribute the Maximum Amount to Your 401 (k)<\/strong><\/p>\n

After you have maxed out your Traditional IRA, go back and max out your employee matching 401 (k) account. This means that you can invest as much as $18,000. We recommend contributing the maximum amount here after your traditional IRA since the balance is higher and it allows you to get rid of any excess money.<\/p>\n
