OPINION: It’s possible to defer taxes even for a taxable account. Here’s how “tax-loss harvesting” and other strategies can help boost your overall wealth.

But financial advisers and other professional who help manage money can help you better understand some basic principles — like tax-loss harvesting and intelligent withdrawal —and to consider their potential impact on your portfolio.Small reductions in taxes can have enormous consequences for wealth accumulation.
A common practice is to withdraw from taxable accounts first until they run dry, and then from tax-deferred accounts, and finally from tax-exempt accounts. However, if you’ve carefully saved more than you really need in taxable accounts, this approach may result in uneven income and adverse tax consequences.
