Podcasts about capital gains

Could capital gains taxes eventually be adjusted for inflation, and could the home sale exclusion increase from $500,000 to $1 million for married couples filing jointly? In this episode of the Tax Smart REI Podcast, Nate Sosa and Justin Shore break down the discussion around capital gains indexing, how an inflation adjustment to tax basis could work, and why changes to the Section 121 home sale exclusion could have a significant impact on homeowners and real estate investors. Plus, Nate and Justin examine another major shift happening inside the accounting industry: private equity-backed consolidation, accounting firm roll-ups, and what those changes could mean for employees and clients.

Tucker Carlson says he's socially conservative and economically liberal. That's where we think the trouble starts. The $20 burrito may be real evidence that Americans are getting crushed by higher prices, but blaming investors, rich CEOs, and "free market capitalism" misses the actual argument. Nate and Chuck break down Tucker Carlson's comments about affordability, capital gains taxes, the purpose of an economic system, and the massive CEO-to-worker pay ratios that make people furious. Then they pull out a calculator and ask a very simple question: if you took a CEO's entire compensation and gave it to the workers, how much would their lives actually change? The conversation gets into libertarian economics, incentives, investment, government intervention, the Federal Reserve, monetary policy, and why politicians have such an easy time selling immediate solutions to complicated economic problems. There's also a bigger political problem. If voters correctly recognize that the economy isn't working for them but incorrectly identify the cause, the "solution" can easily become more government power. Finally, Nate and Chuck look at Argentina and Javier Milei as an example of a radically different approach: government doing less instead of promising to manage everything better.

Selling a business is one of the largest financial events many entrepreneurs will ever experience... But most owners spend years building their company without spending nearly enough time planning how they'll eventually leave it. Jeremiah and Nic discuss why successful business exits begin long before a purchase offer arrives. They explain why business owners should start planning two to three years before selling, the importance of obtaining a professional business valuation, preparing financial records for buyer due diligence, building enterprise value instead of simply generating income, and coordinating your CPA, attorney, valuation specialist, and financial advisor throughout the process. They also share real client examples that illustrate the dramatic difference between proactive planning and trying to figure everything out after the sale has already occurred. The guys also explore why nearly 92% of small businesses never actually sell, common succession planning mistakes, and why many owners underestimate the value they've spent decades creating. Listeners will hear practical discussions about treating a business as an investment asset, creating retirement income after a liquidity event, and avoiding costly tax mistakes once a large lump sum is received. Jeremiah and Nic cover advanced tax planning strategies, including donor-advised funds, managing large capital gains, charitable giving, and the distinction between ordinary income and capital gains taxation. For business owners and self-employed professionals, the hosts review tax-saving opportunities available through SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Solo 401(k)s, Cash Balance Plans, Mega Backdoor Roth strategies, S-Corp elections, bonus depreciation, and other planning ideas that can help reduce taxes while building long-term wealth.   Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Ask! https://www.therealmoneypros.com ————————————————————— Ataraxis PEO https://ataraxispeo.com Tree City Advisors of Apollon: https://www.treecityadvisors.com Apollon Wealth Management: https://apollonwealthmanagement.com/ —————————————————————

Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!Your capital gain is not your sale price.That one misunderstanding costs Santa Clarita sellers real money every single year, so let me clear it up.Your gain is your sale price, minus your selling costs, minus your adjusted basis. And your basis is not just what you paid. Every capital improvement you made over the years adds to it. New roof. Room addition. Pool. Kitchen. HVAC. Windows. Solar you paid for. Block wall.Which is why the cheapest tax savings in real estate is a shoebox full of receipts.Here is a real example. A married couple buys in Saugus in 2004 for $525,000. Over the years they put in $75,000 of improvements and they kept the paperwork. Basis is now $600,000. They sell in 2026 for $1,150,000. After about $70,000 in commission and closing costs, their gain is $480,000.They are married, they lived there the whole time, so the Section 121 exclusion shelters up to $500,000.Their entire gain is excluded. Zero federal capital gains tax. Zero California tax.That $75,000 in improvements they could PROVE is what kept them under the line.Now here is the part that should get every long-time owner's attention. That $250,000 single / $500,000 married exclusion has not changed since 1997. It is not indexed to inflation. Santa Clarita home values have multiplied several times over since then. The shelter has not moved an inch.More sellers blow past it today than ever did back then.I broke the whole thing down: adjusted basis, the two-of-five-year rule, 2026 federal rates, the 3.8% surtax, why California has no capital gains rate at all and just taxes it like wages, the 3.33% Form 593 withholding that surprises people at closing, depreciation recapture on rentals, and stepped-up basis.Full written breakdown: https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/capital-gains-tax-selling-your-home-santa-clarita-los-angeles-county-2026/Video: https://youtu.be/TTRxgMtrTeAI am a licensed agent, not a CPA and not a tax attorney.

In this Episode of the Secure Your Retirement Podcast, Radon and Murs discuss Concentrated Stock Positions and why so many pre-retirees and retirees are sitting on a mountain of Appreciated Stock without a plan for it. Whether it came from Company Stock Options at a long-time employer or from riding a big name higher over the past few years, a single stock that grows into half a portfolio changes the entire risk picture heading into retirement. Radon and Murs break down why Stock Diversification matters more now than it did during your working years, and why Capital Gains Taxes are usually the real obstacle keeping people stuck.Listen in to learn about the Tax-Efficient Investing strategies Nick Hyman is using with clients to unwind large positions without triggering an unnecessary tax bill. You'll hear how Tax-Loss Harvesting through Direct Indexing can offset gains, how a Donor-Advised Fund can move highly appreciated shares to charity with zero tax on the gain, and how bracket-aware selling fits into a coordinated Retirement Investment Strategy. If you're building a Retirement Financial Plan and Company Stock Options or one big winning stock are part of the picture, this episode lays out exactly where to start.In this episode, find out:Why holding a large Concentrated Stock Position is a different risk in retirement than it was while you were workingHow Tax-Loss Harvesting and Direct Indexing can help offset gains when you sell Appreciated StockWhy bracket-aware selling, year by year, is central to smart Retirement Tax PlanningHow a Donor-Advised Fund lets charitably inclined retirees give appreciated shares without paying tax on the gainWhy doing nothing about a concentrated position only compounds the problem instead of solving itTweetable Quotes:"When we're working and we have a salary and income coming in, if a stock goes down 20, 30, 40 percent, it's not as big of a deal because there's still income coming in the door." - Murs Tariq"If you just stay in this place of doing nothing, you only are compounding the problem.

Medicare brings peace of mind to millions of retirees, but for those with higher incomes, there's an added layer of complexity called IRMAA—the Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount. If your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) crosses certain thresholds, you may end up paying substantially more for your Medicare Part B and Part D coverage. In this article, we break down how IRMAA works, outline common scenarios that may unexpectedly raise your premiums, and offer actionable strategies to help you avoid unnecessary costs during your retirement years.   You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [02:14] How IRMAA works [04:09] IRMAA income brackets and premium increases  [05:43] General strategies and limitations for avoiding IRMAA [09:49] Managing Capital Gains and Medicare costs [10:41] Understanding the possibility of unexpected large gains pushing income higher  [12:37] Impact of spouse passing on taxes [14:54] Avoiding IRMAA surcharge   What Is IRMAA, and How Does It Work? IRMAA adds a surcharge to your standard Medicare Part B and Part D premiums if your income exceeds specific limits. The calculation uses your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) from your federal tax return for the prior two years. For example, your 2026 Medicare premium is determined by your 2024 tax return figures. This "two-year lag" means financial decisions made today could impact your healthcare costs down the line. In 2024, the standard Part B premium is $202.90 per month. However, single filers reporting over $109,000 or married couples filing jointly above $218,000 pay $284 each per month, per person. Surpassing $137,000 (single) or $274,000 (joint) pushes your premium to $405.90—more than double the baseline. Part D premiums are also subject to surcharges, ranging from $14.50 to $91 per month at the highest income levels.   Seven Scenarios That Can Trigger IRMAA—and How to Prepare While some situations are unpreventable, being aware of these common scenarios can help you make informed choices and potentially minimize your IRMAA exposure.   1. Municipal Bond Income: Not as Tax-Free as You Think Many investors favor municipal bonds for their federal tax-exempt status. Unfortunately, while this income is absent from your regular AGI, it is added back into your MAGI when calculating IRMAA. If you're relying heavily on munis in retirement, this could unexpectedly inflate your Medicare premiums. Consider alternative investments or relocating those assets into accounts or vehicles where this income is shielded, like certain annuities, after consulting with a qualified financial advisor.   2. Capital Gains on Your Home Sale When selling your primary residence, you can exclude up to $250,000 of gain if single or $500,000 if married, provided you meet the two-out-of-five-years residency rule. Gains above these thresholds are taxable and count toward your MAGI. Good record-keeping for home improvements can help increase your cost basis and reduce the taxable gain, but there aren't many strategies to avoid this spike if a large gain is unavoidable.   3. Profits from Investment Property Sales Selling an investment property can generate significant capital gains. But unique to investment real estate, the IRS allows you to defer these gains through a 1031 exchange—selling one investment property and reinvesting the proceeds into another. This move postpones the tax hit and the associated IRMAA impact, possibly indefinitely if you use the stepped-up basis at death.   4. Surprise Mutual Fund Capital Gains If you own mutual funds outside retirement accounts, unexpected capital gains distributions from within the fund (for example, after large stock sales like Apple) could spike your MAGI. To mitigate this, consider shifting from mutual funds to individual stocks, bonds, or exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which typically generate fewer surprise capital gains.   5. Roth Conversions are Great for Taxes, But Be Careful While Roth conversions can be powerful tax strategies, converting a sizable sum from a pretax IRA to a Roth IRA counts as income for IRMAA purposes. Carefully plan the size and timing of conversions to avoid pushing yourself into a higher premium bracket without realizing it.   6. The Financial Impact of Losing a Spouse Widowhood or widowerhood can be doubly difficult; not only do you suffer personal loss, but your filing status shifts to single, drastically lowering the income thresholds for IRMAA. If you expect changes in income or status, make proactive plans with your advisor to help smooth your MAGI.   7. Large, One-Time Retirement Account Withdrawals Big withdrawals from IRAs or 401(k)s—perhaps to buy a car or fund a vacation home—could catapult your income into a higher IRMAA tier. Consider spreading large purchases over several years or evaluating alternative financing options to keep retirement account withdrawals more manageable.   Small Decisions Add Up While IRMAA might not be avoidable for everyone, being strategic about income sources, withdrawals, and investment choices can reduce surprises and keep more of your retirement income where it belongs—with you. Always consult with a financial advisor familiar with your unique situation before making significant financial moves. Keep your knowledge current and your planning proactive to support a more cost-effective retirement.   Resources Mentioned   Retirement Readiness Review Subscribe to the Retire with Ryan YouTube Channel Download my entire book for FREE  2026 Medicare Part B Premium Surprises, #282 7 Ways to Lower Your Income and Avoid the IRMAA Medicare Surcharge, #142 Mistakes To Avoid During Medicare Open Enrollment with Danielle Roberts, #229      Connect With Morrissey Wealth Management  www.MorrisseyWealthManagement.com/contact   Subscribe to Retire With Ryan

In this episode, Anderson Advisors' Barley Bowler, CPA, and Eliot Thomas, Esq., tackle listener tax questions spanning real estate, trading, and business structures. They explain how California's clawback rules and residency tests apply to precious metals gains when relocating to Tennessee, and outline how a trade structure with a corporate partner can shift trading income while avoiding personal holding company tax. Barley and Eliot also cover entity options for leasing a personal vehicle to a business, the filing requirements for out-of-state rental income, and how a property management S-Corp can be used to offset W-2 income through short-term rental material participation. Other topics include strategies for minimizing capital gains on a long-term rental sale — including 1031 exchanges and cost segregation studies — offsetting capital gains from a personal residence sale with business losses, and how non-dividend distributions are taxed as a return of capital. Tune in for expert advice on these and more!   Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com   Highlights/Topics: 00:00 Intro to Tax Tuesday with Eliot and Barley 08:06 — "I've lived in California for decades but am now moving to Tennessee. Once in Tennessee, I will sell some of my precious metals to go toward buying a personal residence. Will California try to claw back taxes on the precious metal gain since I purchased it while living in California? How long do I have to be a resident of Tennessee before I am under Tennessee taxation rules for selling precious metals?" — Clawbacks don't apply; timing and residency ties to California matter most. 18:24 — "As an equity options trader (not eligible for TTS status), what is a good entity structure for tax advantages when my partner has an SMLLC for business?" — A trade structure with a C-Corp partner shifts and protects gains. 26:05 — "I have a trading structure. Please explain the tax treatment guidelines when investments in securities are sold, when a K-1 is triggered, etc." — Gains split by ownership percentage; K-1s issue once the 1065 is filed. 36:05 — "I'm wondering if I can purchase a vehicle and lease it to my business year by year — is that a possible tax advantage for a private investigation business?" — Possible, but reimbursing mileage through an S-Corp is simpler and safer. 44:20 — "I live in Washington State. If I buy a rental in Oregon, do I have to file Oregon tax and pay Oregon tax on the property located there?" — Yes — the source state taxes rental income regardless of residency. 47:02 — "I run three Airbnb properties and have an LLC taxed as an S-Corp that I use as a management company, where all revenue and expenses flow into it. It does not take depreciation since the LLC doesn't own the property — we have the deeds in our personal name. How can I take advantage of the loss and depreciation to offset our W-2 in this case?" — Short-term rentals need material participation, not REP status, to offset W-2. 1:04:27 — "How can I avoid or minimize capital gain taxes if I sell a rental property I've had for seven years?" — Use passive losses, a cost-seg study, 1031 exchange, or capital loss harvesting. 1:10:32 — "Can a long-term capital loss (from the sale of a business) be used to offset a long-term capital gain from the sale of a personal residence?" — Yes, after applying Section 121's home-sale exclusion and depreciation recapture rules. 1:15:24 — "Are non-dividend distributions considered a return of capital and therefore not taxed?" — Only partly — earnings, then basis return, then capital gain, in order.

Washington collected $1.5 billion from capital gains taxes — roughly twice February's projection — nearly erasing an $878 million deficit. But budget writers warn the underlying fundamentals remain challenging, with a shortfall expected in the next two-year budget cycle. Gov. Ferguson says December's proposal will rely on cuts, not new taxes. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/business/capital-gains-tax-surge-eases-but-doesnt-solve-wa-budget-woes/ #WashingtonState #CapitalGainsTax #WABudget #StateBudget #TaxPolicy #WashingtonPolitics #FiscalPolicy #PNWNews #ClarkCounty

This week on Financial Planning: Explained, host Michael Menninger, CFP®, and Nick DeVito, CFP®, continue their in-depth Social Security Survivor Benefits case study by exploring one of the most overlooked planning opportunities: unrealized capital gains. Building on Part 1, Mike and Nick examine how appreciated investments and unrealized capital gains can influence a surviving spouse's long-term financial strategy. Through a real-world financial planning scenario, they explain how inherited assets receive a step-up in cost basis, how capital gains are taxed after the death of a spouse, and why understanding these rules can help families minimize taxes while maximizing retirement income. Throughout the episode, they demonstrate how Social Security survivor benefits should never be viewed in isolation. Instead, they show how coordinating survivor benefits with investment portfolios, capital gains planning, tax-efficient withdrawals, and estate planning can create a more comprehensive and effective retirement strategy. Whether you're planning for retirement, helping aging parents, managing inherited investments, or simply looking to make smarter financial decisions, this episode provides practical insights that can help you preserve more of your wealth and avoid costly mistakes.

Washington's capital gains tax hauled in $1.5 billion in fiscal 2026 — $750 million above forecast — yet Ryan Frost of the Washington Policy Center argues that windfall covers less than 10% of the state's projected $7–$10 billion budget shortfall. Total state tax collections have more than doubled over the past decade, and the deficit persists. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-record-capital-gains-revenue-wont-solve-washingtons-budget-woes/ #WashingtonState #CapitalGainsTax #StateBudget #TaxPolicy #Olympia #BudgetDeficit #WashingtonPolicyCenter #Opinion

Using a recent Jason Zweig article as a springboard, they explain how taxes can reduce stock market returns far more than the difference between low-cost fund expense ratios. The discussion covers tax-efficient investing, asset location, ETFs versus mutual funds, dividend taxation, capital gains, and why investors should pay more attention to portfolio design than chasing the lowest possible expense ratio. They also dissect a highly tax-inefficient YieldMax fund tied to MicroStrategy and Bitcoin, illustrating how taxes and poor fund structure can devastate returns. Listener questions cover Morningstar's acquisition of CRSP indexes and whether it threatens Vanguard investors, plus whether a retiree working part-time can contribute earned income to a Roth IRA.0:05 Big-picture investing versus obsessing over tiny details0:39 Why fund expense ratios matter less than most investors think2:06 Jason Zweig's research on taxes reducing long-term market returns3:20 How taxes often outweigh fund expense differences4:06 Qualified dividends versus ordinary income taxation5:03 Why investors should pay attention to after-tax returns5:40 YieldMax funds and the hidden cost of tax inefficiency7:19 The dangers of exotic income-focused ETFs7:48 Why ETFs can be more tax-efficient than mutual funds9:15 Tax knowledge as a critical investing skill10:30 Asset location: where stocks and bonds belong11:20 The YieldMax MicroStrategy fund and Bitcoin losses11:58 The truly important parts of financial planning13:15 Listener question from Longmont, Colorado14:17 Morningstar, CRSP indexes, and Vanguard concerns16:00 Why market-cap indexes are unlikely to be manipulated17:16 Morningstar ratings and conflicts of interest discussion17:58 Thoughts on the military-industrial complex19:23 UFL football, soccer, and sports tangents20:47 Listener question about Roth IRA contributions from part-time work21:30 Filing thresholds and earned income requirements for Roth IRAs23:21 Listener questions, voice submissions, and website tools24:08 AI voices and synthetic Don McDonald25:59 Romper Room memories and closing banterQuestions?

Show Notes In this episode of Be a Smarter Homeowner, host Beth Dodson sits down with Craig Sheets, founder of Crestville Accounting, to unpack one of the most misunderstood parts of homeownership: taxes. Craig brings nearly 25 years of senior-level accounting experience and helps individuals and business owners not only stay compliant, but also make smarter financial decisions throughout the year. Together, Beth and Craig discuss how homeowners can better understand deductions, tax planning, rental property rules, renovation records, mortgage interest, inherited homes, and the importance of working with a knowledgeable CPA. This conversation covers practical tax considerations for both primary residences and rental properties, including the difference between repairs and capital improvements, how renovations can affect your cost basis, what rental property owners should know about depreciation, and why keeping detailed records can make a major difference when it is time to file taxes or sell a home. Topics covered include: Homeowner tax myths, Schedule A deductions, sales tax deductions, mortgage interest, real estate taxes, rental property deductions, cost segregation, depreciation, repairs versus renovations, capital improvements, tax basis, inherited homes, revocable and irrevocable trusts, energy-efficiency tax credits, and why planning with your CPA matters. Important note: This episode is for educational purposes only. Tax laws and individual situations vary, so homeowners should consult their own CPA, accountant, or financial advisor before making tax decisions.   Episode Summary Your home is often your largest financial asset, but many homeowners do not fully understand how it connects to their tax strategy. In this episode, Beth Dodson talks with CPA Craig Sheets about the deductions, credits, planning opportunities, and recordkeeping habits homeowners should know. Craig explains why tax planning should happen year-round, not just during filing season. He discusses how homeowners may be able to deduct certain taxes, mortgage interest, sales tax on qualifying renovations, and energy-efficient upgrades. He also breaks down the difference between a repair and a renovation, explaining why that distinction matters for tax purposes. For rental property owners, Craig goes deeper into depreciation, cost segregation, active versus passive management, possible travel and business-related deductions, and the importance of understanding how a property is owned. Beth and Craig also explore how renovations can affect a home's tax basis and why detailed project records can help homeowners reduce potential capital gains later. The episode closes with practical advice: keep receipts, track home improvements, document energy-efficient upgrades, communicate with your CPA before major projects, and treat your home like the financial asset it is.   Key Takeaways Homeowners may miss deductions simply because they do not know what to track. Repairs and renovations are treated differently for tax purposes. Rental property ownership comes with additional rules, deductions, and planning opportunities. Cost segregation may help rental property owners accelerate depreciation. Home improvements can increase your tax basis, which may matter when you sell. Mortgage interest can be part of an itemized deduction strategy. Energy-efficient upgrades may qualify for tax credits, which can be more powerful than deductions. Inherited homes and trusts can create tax consequences that should be planned carefully. Good recordkeeping can save homeowners money. The best tax strategy usually begins before the project, purchase, sale, or filing deadline.

Some financial decisions come with clear answers. Others require balancing risks, opportunities, and a healthy dose of uncertainty. In our episode “May 30, 2026: Mortgages, Money Transfers & Monetary Policy,” we explore three areas where the right decision depends as much on context as it does on the numbers — from adjustable-rate mortgages and wealth transfers to the Federal Reserve's ongoing fight against inflation.Adjustable-rate mortgages are making a comeback, but this isn't a repeat of the housing bubble era. With special guest Shanna Squires from Henssler Mortgage Advisors, we break down how today's ARMs differ from the products that helped fuel the financial crisis, why some homebuyers are turning to them in a world of elevated mortgage rates, and whether they represent a smart strategy or a risky gamble on lower rates ahead.Next, we tackle a listener question about inheriting and gifting money. From estate taxes and inheritance taxes to annual gift exclusions and lifetime exemptions, we'll explain what the rules actually are—and just as importantly, what they aren't. If you've ever wondered how families can pass wealth to the next generation without creating unnecessary tax headaches, this conversation is for you.Finally, we examine a question many investors are asking: What happens when inflation is driven by supply shortages rather than consumer demand? With oil prices and geopolitical tensions once again influencing inflation expectations, we discuss the limits of Federal Reserve policy, why interest rates remain the Fed's primary tool, and the difficult tradeoffs policymakers face when fighting inflation that may be originating far outside their control.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty. Henssler Money Talks — May 30, 2026  |  Season 40, Episode 22Timestamps and Chapters3:48: ARMs: Smart Strategy or Warning Sign?18:08: Passing Down Wealth Without Passing Down Problems34:11: Fighting Inflation With the Wrong Tools? Follow Henssler:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HensslerFinancial/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/HensslerFinancial LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/henssler-financial/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hensslerfinancial/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hensslerfinancial?lang=en X: https://www.x.com/hensslergroup “Henssler Money Talks” is brought to you by Henssler Financial.

Retirement planning is about more than just saving money—it's about making smart decisions with your finances to ensure that you keep as much of what you've earned as possible. On the show this week, I'm sharing essential strategies for managing your taxes in retirement—including a real-life example of a couple selling $146,000 in capital gains and paying zero taxes. I break down the benefits of non-retirement brokerage accounts, clarify the rules around capital gains and losses, and reveal a key element of the tax code that hasn't changed in nearly 50 years. In the second half of the show, I'm also discussing the risks and rewards of company stock, stock options, and restricted stock units (RSUs), and providing guidance for anyone investing in their own company or dealing with equity compensation. This episode is packed with practical advice and insightful stories to help you retire in the best financial position possible.   You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:26]Importance of tax management in retirement [02:05] Capital gain harvesting (an uncommon topic) and capital loss harvesting [06:25] Explaining brokerage account basics [08:17] Distinction between short-term vs. long-term capital gains [14:24] Practical example of managing large capital gains [18:30] Tax-free capital gains strategy [24:40] Understanding equity compensation risks [31:51] RSUs and the tax implications [33:27] Evaluating company stock and options Understanding Brokerage (Non-Retirement) Accounts Brokerage accounts, also known as non-retirement accounts, are investment accounts funded with after-tax dollars. Unlike IRAs or 401(k)s, which have strict withdrawal rules and penalties, these accounts offer much more flexibility. There are two primary advantages: Accessibility: Funds are available before age 59½, meaning you aren't locked into waiting as with some retirement accounts. Tax Control: Taxes in these accounts are mainly due on capital gains, dividends, and interest, and you can influence the timing and amount of tax owed by managing what and when you sell.   Many investors overlook the advantages of these accounts, often assuming that retirement planning must revolve solely around 401(k)s and IRAs. Speaker B points out that one of the biggest benefits is the ability to 'cherry pick' what is bought and sold, giving investors direct control over their tax liabilities.   Capital Gains and Loss Harvesting Most people are familiar with the idea of harvesting capital losses—selling investments at a loss to offset taxable gains or up to $3,000 of ordinary income per year. But 'harvesting capital gains' can also be a powerful strategy. If your income is low enough in a particular year, it's possible to realize long-term capital gains at zero federal tax, especially under current tax laws. There are nuances, however. The $3,000 capital loss deduction limit hasn't changed since 1978, despite decades of inflation, and excess losses must be carried forward to future years—a critical aspect often forgotten. Additionally, the wash-sale rule prevents you from writing off a loss if you purchase the same (or substantially identical) security within 30 days before or after the sale.   Risks and Rewards of Company Stock, Stock Options, and RSUs  Equity compensation—whether through company stock, stock options, or restricted stock units (RSUs)—is a growing component in many retirement portfolios. Stock options come in two primary flavors—incentive stock options (ISOs) and non-qualified stock options (NSOs)—with distinct tax treatments. The potential upside can be huge, especially in fast-growing companies, but if the stock price falls below the strike price, the options may end up worthless. Upon vesting, the value of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) is taxed as ordinary income. Many companies manage tax withholding by selling some shares at vesting, but any future gains after vesting are subject to capital gains tax. Overreliance on one company's stock can be financially devastating. Don't be like the Enron employee who lost almost everything by refusing to diversify. It's essential to manage company-specific risk and diversify holdings as you approach retirement.   Resources & People Mentioned 3 Steps to Retirement Planning IRS Case Study 1 – Wash Sales    Connect With Gregg Gonzalez   Email at: Gregg.gonzalez@lpl.com Podcast: https://RetireStrongFA.com/Podcast Website: https://RetireStrongFA.com/ Follow Gregg on LinkedIn Follow Gregg on Facebook Follow Gregg on YouTube Subscribe to Retirement Made Easy On Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts  

Host Trent Fleskens and tax accountant Carlo Baudi unpack proposed budget changes affecting property investors, stressing they are not yet legislated. They explain the shift from the 50% CGT discount toward inflation indexation from 1 July 2027, with gains before that date effectively grandfathered and calculated via ATO pro‑rating or a 30 June 2027 market valuation. They highlight a new minimum 30% tax on capital gains and trust distributions, which they argue hits lower-income earners harder and reduces the benefits of trusts. On negative gearing, they discuss restricting deductions to new builds while grandfathering existing holdings, potentially diverting investment to house-and-land and apartments, reducing rentals in established suburbs, and lowering borrowing capacity. They suggest reviewing structures (personal vs company) and seeking tailored accounting advice.

It's one of the most overlooked settings in your investment account and most people set it once and never think about it again.

Experts have welcomed changes to capital gains and negative gearing rules, saying they are a “step in the right direction” to fix the housing crisis in regional Australia.

A new study suggests capital gains taxes may be quietly keeping homes off the market, and it could have major implications for real estate investors. In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down how capital gains taxes work, when homeowners may qualify for tax exclusions, why rental property owners can face depreciation recapture, and how what some are calling an "exit tax" may be contributing to today's housing inventory shortage. Plus, Kathy explains why strategies like a 1031 exchange remain an important tool for investors looking to defer taxes and reposition their portfolios in today's market.

In this episode, Anderson attorneys Amanda Wynalda, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., tackle a wide range of listener questions on tax strategy for real estate investors, business owners, and stock market traders. They dig into whether Section 187 depreciation on heavy equipment can offset capital gains from a property sale, and why material participation is critical for bonus depreciation to work. They clarify that real estate professional status is an individual designation — not an entity filing status — and explain how it can convert passive rental losses into active deductions. Amanda and Eliot also address how stock market gains can be offset through actively managed farms and rentals, the benefits of a C-Corp property manager in Washington state despite the Business & Occupation tax, and why you cannot deduct life insurance policy loan interest under Section 264. They cover the tax impact of converting a rental property to a primary residence, how the Section 121 exclusion applies proportionally to a mixed-use apartment building, the mechanics and timing rules of a 1031 exchange, and why transferring a fully depreciated property into a land trust generally has no income tax impact. Tune in for expert advice on these and more! Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: 00:00 — Intro and questions 09:50 — "I'm starting a Heavy Equipment Rental Business, which will be active income. Can I use the Section 187 Depreciation expense on Heavy Equipment to offset the Capital Gains tax that I will incur on an investment property that I am selling in 2026?" Section 187 is obsolete (was for mining safety); bonus depreciation requires active material participation. 18:50 — "I am a homebuilder with an LLC structured as a C-Corp. I self-manage/own a new 36-unit rental property in a passthrough LLC. I have my real estate license (inactive). Should I change my filing status to real estate professional from a C-corp?" Real estate professional is an individual status, not an entity's filing designation. 25:02 — "I am consistently making profits in the stock market. I have a farm and some rental properties owned as pass through LLC's. Can I invest in my business and the rentals to reduce tax consequences from stock market gains?" Active material participation in farm and rentals can offset stock gains. 33:44 — "We set up a C-corp property manager to manage a rental portfolio via rental LLCs. Unfortunately, in WA state prop. mgrs. are required to pay a 1.5% Business & Occupation tax, while rental owner LLCs are not. High-level question: is it still worth using a C-corp property manager?" Yes — the management fee income stays below the $100K B&O exemption threshold. 38:45 — "How can I borrow money from a life insurance policy, use it to invest in lending like private lending or a mortgage note, and be able to write off the policy loan interest as expenses to lower overall tax liabilities from interest earned from lending activities?" Tax code Section 264 prohibits deducting life insurance policy loan interest. 41:42 — "What are the tax implications if I purchase a property in an LLC for rental purposes, renovate it, and take all applicable write-offs, but then change my mind and decide to live in it and transfer it into a living trust?" Depreciation deductions lower your basis, reducing your Section 121 exclusion later. 46:04 — "I live in Arizona and owner-occupy (live-in) in 6% (1 unit) of a 17-unit apartment building square footage (9,645ft²). Would the $250,000 capital gains tax exclusion rule apply to the sale of the building?" Only the 6% owner-occupied portion qualifies for the capital gains exclusion. 49:49 — "Please review the benefits of 1031 exchanges." A 1031 exchange defers all capital gains tax by rolling into replacement property. 55:10 — "What is the tax impact of placing my fully depreciated property in a land trust?" Transferring to a land trust typically creates no income tax event whatsoever.

Everyone is chasing the "perfect investment": Higher returns, bigger upside, faster growth. But almost no one stops to define what a 'perfect investment' actually is. In this episode, Jim Oliver and Nick Kosko break it down using Nelson Nash's framework from The Case for IBC. Instead of chasing returns, they walk through the 16 real attributes that matter when deciding where to store your money. From consistency and liquidity to control, tax advantages, and protection, this conversation exposes why most traditional vehicles fall short and why people are asking the wrong question entirely. Because the goal isn't to find the next hot investment. The goal is to control capital and make it work for you over time. Key Takeaways - The 16 attributes to consider when deciding where to store your money. - Average returns don't reflect real-world outcomes - Liquidity and control determine how useful your money actually is - Taxes and inflation quietly erode most strategies - The right system prioritizes stability, access, and long-term control Stop chasing returns. Start building a system where your money is safe, controlled, and working for you consistently.

Concentrated positions tend to build when something goes very right, but over time, they can quietly introduce significant exposure.

We'd love to hear from you. What are your thoughts and questions?In this conversation, Ashley Tison, a tax strategist and co-founder of OZPros, discusses the significance of Opportunity Zones as a powerful tax incentive for investors. He explains how these zones were created to attract private capital into underserved areas, allowing investors to defer and potentially eliminate capital gains taxes. The discussion covers the mechanics of investing in Opportunity Zones, the importance of community impact, and how family offices approach capital deployment strategically. Tison emphasizes the need for compliance and the common pitfalls investors face, particularly the critical 180-day window for capital gains reinvestment.Main Points:Opportunity Zones are designed to attract private capital into underserved areas.Investors can defer capital gains taxes by investing in Qualified Opportunity Funds.The program has mobilized approximately $150 billion into Opportunity Zones.Investing in these zones inherently creates positive community impact.Family offices prioritize long-term wealth creation and risk management.Investors should be aware of the 180-day reinvestment deadline to avoid penalties.Not all investments in Opportunity Zones are created equal; due diligence is essential.The program allows for a variety of investment types, including real estate and operating businesses.Common mistakes include failing to act within the 180-day window and misunderstanding the nature of Opportunity Zones.Successful investments require a focus on both financial returns and community outcomes.Connect With Ashley Tison:ashley@ozpros.comozpros.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ashley-tisonhttps://www.youtube.com/@OZPros/videos

In this Five Minute Friday, I break down one of the most misunderstood conversations in orthodontics: real return on investment and equity value in private equity-backed organizations.After hosting bankers, CPAs, venture capital leaders, real estate experts, and private equity professionals at Vanguard, I walked away with one very clear realization: far too many orthodontists are being modeled at 6–8% annual returns — and that thinking alone can completely distort whether selling, affiliating, or holding makes financial sense.This episode is not about convincing you to join an OSO or DSO. It's about education. It's about understanding equity, multiples, long-term capital gains, private equity performance benchmarks, and — most importantly — transparency. If someone refers you to a broker, a CPA, or an investment opportunity, you need to know what questions to ask. Because if you don't understand how money truly compounds, you're making decisions in the dark.Quotes“If my financial planner told me to plan on 8% per year for the rest of my life, I would fire them.” — Dr. Glenn Krieger“Always ask questions of people and find out — are there any relationships that you should be aware of?” — Dr. Glenn KriegerKey TakeawaysIntro (00:00)Rethinking “Acceptable” Returns (01:20)How Wealthy Investors Think (02:05)Understanding Private Equity Multiples (05:10)Capital Gains vs. Practice Income (08:30)Transparency & Conflicts of Interest (10:40)Additional ResourcesIf you're even remotely considering selling, affiliating, recapitalizing, or exploring private equity — do not make a decision without understanding the math.

If you've got mutual funds in your portfolio you might be familiar with that uncomfortable feeling at tax-time when your CPA sends you a bill even when you didn't sell anything.
