Let's start by defining a tax sheltered investment.

Typically, this is any asset that is purchased or structured in such a way to legally avoid income taxes. The most common tax sheltered investments are vehicles that were sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service to help people save for major life events.

Things like retirement, education, and and downstream healthcare needs.

So, some of the most common ones are four zero one k and four zero three b plans, which help people save for retirement.

Individual retirement accounts, which are outside of an employer, and health savings accounts.
