Podcasts about capital gains

In this monthly book club edition of Yet Another Value Podcast, host Andrew Walker is joined by Byrne Hobart of The Diff and Capital Gains to unpack Ray Dalio's latest book, How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle. The pair probe Dalio's sweeping macroeconomic theories, debt cycles, historical analogies, and technology's role in shaping the future. They scrutinize the credibility of Dalio's claims, the real-world implications of sovereign debt risks, and the potential misapplications of macro trading skills to macroeconomic policymaking. The conversation winds through AI's effect on productivity, the staying power of elites through societal upheavals, and even the viability of crypto as a hedge. It's a rich analysis with sharp skepticism and economic nuance._________________________________________________[00:00:00] Podcast and guest introduction[00:01:38] Initial thoughts on Dalio's book[00:05:26] Short vs. long debt cycles[00:06:40] Historical cycle timing critique[00:07:24] Pre-WWI and 1930s comparison[00:10:11] Disconnection between theories and globalization[00:16:25] Institutional trust and economic cycles[00:18:18] Credibility of Dalio's theories[00:21:26] Macro trading vs. macro policy[00:24:42] Trump-era policy implications[00:26:19] Foreign debt selling as signal[00:28:14] Put options in tail events[00:32:35] Buffett's strategic puts example[00:35:32] Technology optimism in final chapter[00:40:25] AI effects on labor, productivity[00:45:43] Older professionals using AI[00:47:00] Book's global bearish stance[00:51:22] Historical elite persistence examples[00:53:45] Bitcoin in crisis scenarios[01:01:54] Sovereign wealth fund proposal critiqueLinks:Yet Another Value Blog: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com See our legal disclaimer here: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com/p/legal-and-disclaimer

In this special QAV episode, Cameron and Tony are joined by Navarre Trousselot, founder and CEO of Navexa, Australia's homegrown portfolio tracking and tax-reporting platform. The episode kicks off with a charming tale of how Navarre's first entrepreneurial venture was Pokémon card arbitrage as a 10-year-old, laying the groundwork for his investing instincts. The trio then explores the serious end-of-financial-year business: tax-loss harvesting, the nuances of capital gains strategies, and how Navexa's AI-powered tax tools are evolving. Navarre shares exclusive insights from aggregated Navexa user data—what the top-performing portfolios look like, what they're holding (spoiler: lots of Bitcoin), and how often they trade. The conversation wraps with some existential musing on crypto, AI, and investor psychology.

Tax gain harvesting is one of the most underused but powerful strategies available to early retirees and those pursuing financial independence. In this episode, we explore how it works, who it's best suited for, and how it can help reduce long-term tax liability.Unlike tax loss harvesting, which involves selling investments at a loss to offset gains, tax gain harvesting is about intentionally realizing gains when you're in a low or zero percent tax bracket—allowing you to reset your cost basis without triggering federal tax in certain situations.This strategy is most effective in taxable brokerage accounts and is typically not applicable to retirement accounts like IRAs or 401(k)s. It tends to work best in years where your income is lower, such as early retirement or transition periods before drawing Social Security.Even with additional income from dividends or part-time work, many people can still benefit from this approach. However, it's important to consider potential state tax implications as well.We'll break down how tax gain harvesting fits into a broader retirement tax strategy, what makes someone a good candidate, and how to use it thoughtfully as part of your long-term financial plan.- Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC registered investment adviser.

In this special episode, we catch up on a backlog of insightful listener questions—covering everything from estate planning and Social Security taxation to Roth conversions and Medicare rules. If you've been wrestling with real-world retirement planning decisions, you're not alone. Today's episode delivers practical answers to the kinds of issues many people face but few have clearly explained. We tackle: IRMAA and Social Security Taxation – Does IRMAA include Social Security income if it's not taxable? Capital Gains on a Vacation Home – Should you delay estate planning until after the sale of a property? What about the "2 out of 5 years" exemption? Paying Inheritance Taxes – If all your accounts list beneficiaries, how will state inheritance taxes (like Pennsylvania's) get paid on time? Step-Up in Basis with TOD Deeds – In Oklahoma, does property with a Transfer on Death deed still receive a step-up in basis? Impact of Home Sale on IRMAA and Roth Conversions – How does selling a vacation home affect your income-based Medicare premiums and Roth conversion strategies? Medicare Enrollment Rules at Age 65 – Are you legally required to enroll in Medicare at 65 if not on a qualifying employer plan? Trusts and Anonymity – How can you use estate planning tools while keeping your affairs private and self-directed? Probate Friendliness by State – Which states make probate easy, and which ones almost demand a trust-based plan? Inherited IRAs and Roth Conversions – Can a beneficiary convert inherited IRA funds into a Roth IRA for future tax-free growth? If you've ever had a nuanced question about retirement or estate planning, chances are someone else has too—and we're tackling them head-on in this packed Q&A episode. Although this show does not provide specific tax, legal, or financial advice, you can engage Devin or John through their individual firms.

Are you unconsciously spending on things that don't matter? In this episode, Brian and Hans tackle one of the most common questions they receive from clients: "How do I find money to fund my IBC policy premium?" Together, they explore practical strategies for identifying suboptimal capital in your economy and shifting how you think about premium payments entirely.Their candid conversation reveals how most Americans are managing cash flow without intentionality, letting dollars slip through their fingers. As Brian points out, "The money comes into the account, the money goes out, you don't know where it went." This unconscious approach to finances creates a significant opportunity for those willing to analyze their spending patterns.We discover why understanding your current financial patterns is the crucial first step to taking control of your banking function. Hans reminds us that "more than the dollars, the control is what's valuable here," highlighting that the real power of implementing an Infinite Banking Concept system lies not just in wealth accumulation, but in the financial freedom it provides through intentional money management.Unconscious Spending Habits: Most people are unknowingly spending at least 10% more than needed on things that don't truly matter. Brian and Hans discuss how analyzing your spending patterns for just a few months can reveal significant "found money" without sacrificing your quality of life or adopting extreme frugality.Reimagining Premium Payments: Unlike other types of insurance, whole life policy premiums should not be viewed as expenses but as wealth transfers. The paradigm shift is recognizing that these dollars will return to you either through cash value access during your lifetime or as a tax-free death benefit to your family later, completely changing how you approach funding decisions.Strategic Funding Sources: The conversation explores multiple places to find premium dollars, including: converting your emergency fund to a more efficient vehicle, optimizing other insurance deductibles, redirecting investment capital gains, repurposing qualified retirement funds, and capturing "excess flows" like bonuses or social security cap savings.Taking Control Through Intentionality: Hans emphasizes that you already have a distribution plan for your money whether you're conscious of it or not. The value in the IBC approach isn't just the financial growth, but the control it gives you over your financial system, allowing decisions based on certainty rather than hope.▶️Chapters:00:00 - Introduction and Unconscious Spending01:00 - Catching Up on Recent Events05:00 - The Impermanence of Possessions08:00 - Cultural Censorship Discussion 12:00 - Finding Money for Premiums15:00 - Understanding Your Distribution Plan18:00 - Emergency Fund Optimization22:00 - Raising Insurance Deductibles24:00 - The Premium Paradigm Shift28:00 - Capital Gains and Tax Efficiency33:00 - Leveraging Qualified Funds37:00 - Future Cash Flows and Flexibility42:00 - Capturing Excess Income Streams45:00 - Final Thoughts and Wrap-UpGot Questions?

This week we answer questions on the loose theme of capital gains tax and investing via General Investment Accounts (GIAs). Spoiler alert - nothing's as simple as it might seem! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA11    01:06  Question 1 Whenever a question comes up in our Facebook group about Capital Gains and GIAs (General Investment Accounts) I get a sinking feeling as I do not know much about that type of account, and I don't have one myself.  I am not alone. I have gathered questions from our listeners about capital gains, so in this episode Pete & Roger can tell us all about Capital Gains, Dividends, and anything else we need to know about using a GIA, and other situations which involve capital gains tax. 19:03  Question 2 Hi both, I've recently discovered your podcast and have thoroughly enjoyed my commutes listening to you. Personable and informative. I have a question about selling my buy-to-let property that is in my personal name. My mortgage term is ending in June 2026 and I'd like to sell it for one of better quality that has less issues. I'm currently a higher-rate taxpayer but we're planning to start a family in the next year, meaning I'll be on maternity leave for 12 months which will push my salary down to basic-rate. Impossible to plan when I'll get pregnant but it would be useful to know how HMRC calculates my salary (and over what time period) so that I pay basic-rate CGT when selling my buy-to-let? Apologies for a very wordy question! Thanks a lot and best wishes, Winnie 22:17  Question 3 Hi Pete, I hope you're doing well! I've been really enjoying the Meaningful Money podcast and had a question I'd love to hear your thoughts on the show: In a general investment account (GIA), is it's better to use an income fund to avoid triggering CGT if income is needed (assuming the dividends covers the needs in the short term)? Thanks so much for your wisdom! And keep up the great work on the podcast! :) Best regards, Chloe 26:53  Question 4 Hi Pete, Roger (and Nick who I assume is reading this :-)) I have a question I'd be grateful if you could answer which is around capital gains tax on any shares or funds held outside an ISA/pension. To use an example with higher numbers so that the allowance is used for simplicity: - You have £100k in a GIA - it increases by £10k a year for the first two years; - it's then down £2k in the third - the total value is now £118k - You then want to draw out £10k - How do you work out what capital gains the tax is to be paid on i.e. is the full £10k considered a gain? - Is the withdrawal from the original £100k or from the increase in value i.e. gain? - Would you be better to withdraw up the annual allowance every year and then put it back in to reduce the gain, considering there's no allowance for the impact of inflation? Love the show, keep up the good work in whatever format you decide going forwards - you've made real differences to the way I've managed my investments over the years, especially at scary times like Covid and your book and courses have given my kids the education they need for their long investing lives. Thanks, Dino 36:39  Question 5 Hi Pete & Rodger, I started a deep dive into our overall finances over the Christmas period, to set the picture I am 47, my wife's 42 and we have two children a boy 5 & a girl 3. I received a diagnosis last year which will have a long term impact on my ability to sustain my current level of income & type of work I do. We have a 154k mortgage with 19 years left on the term, with the uncertainty around my health I have decided to target maximum overpayments on the mortgage, this year we can pay 18k extra. My questions are: 1. I plan to save circa 1k per month salary to put into the overpayment pot, I am hopeful that the HL shares will meet past highs and I can use some of that money to top up the salary savings and hit our target. Do I pay tax on the profit I make from selling shares? If it's no more than 3k? I was hopeful I could sell shares annually and withdraw the gains annually, then reinvest in same stock when they dip. I realise that past performance isn't always guaranteed but monitoring since covid the stocks I am invested in are fluctuating from a £15 low to £20 high annually. So looking to sell at £19.5. Is this the best way to use the extra cash at present given the plan to access quickly at times. I have maxed out isa allowance for current FY (2024/25) but will probably pay the 1k per month into an isa in new FY. 2. I am planning to do lump sum overpayment rather than setup monthly, just to give easy access to funds should they be required. I plan to cash in some company SIPPS annually when they aren't taxable (after 5 years) that sum will be on average 1k per year. Will the SIPPS cashed in and gains from HL sales leave me vulnerable to paying capital gains tax? If all goes to plan we could be mortgage free by 2033 approximately and there would be less of a dependency on my salary. Deep down I just want us to be setup financially as best we can with the uncertainty around my health. I would really appreciate your views, love the podcast and it's been a real source of knowledge to me. Best Regards Lee 43:52  Question 6 Hi Pete & Roger, I found your YouTube channel last year and through that the Podcast – both are absolutely fantastic and have helped me and my family so much with many aspects of managing our money and planning our finances. My question relates to if and to what extent capital gains tax can be offset by making SIPP contributions. My wife and I jointly own a buy to let property that we are selling in the new financial year (25/26).  When the sale completes, we expect to each have a taxable capital gain of around £30,000.  My wife earns around £10k a year from a part time job, therefore most of her gain will be taxable at the lower rate of 18%.  For the last couple of years, she has made annual gross SIPP contributions 100% of her earnings (£10,000) which is the maximum gross contribution she can receive basic rate tax relief on. This year, as well as contributing the usual £10,000 gross, (100% of earned income), can she also contribute up to a further £30,000 gross and receive basic rate tax relief on this additional contribution, thus offsetting the CGT paid on the gain from the property sale?  If so, with CGT payable at 18% and basic rate tax relief of 20%, contributing the full £30,000 would actually more than offset the CGT (which I fear is too good to be true). If this is the case, is there any other strategy we should be considering to achieve the same or similar outcome?  I have really struggled to find definitive guidance around this, so any clarity you can provide will be much appreciated. Many thanks and keep up the great work. Steve

Welcome to another Q&A show. This week we cover moving abroad, inheritance tax and paying into a pension while drawing from another, and lots more besides! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA7   01:16  Question 1 I've been a long time listener for my entire working career and your podcast has been invaluable to getting me to the great position I'm in now. I have recently been offered a very exciting job opportunity abroad (specifically Luxembourg) and I'm thinking about financial issues I might want to cover. I am 29 and have a mid-five figure sum in each of my ISA, LISA, and DC pension in the UK. I hope to save and invest heavily abroad with a FIRE sort of philosophy. I wonder if there are any big things to think about in preparation for a move, or things to do while in the EU that will make a move back easier. I realise this is probably a complex question, and maybe too niche for a podcast episode. I've considered getting a one-off consultation with a financial advisor before my move, do you think this would be worthwhile, and if so what sort of service or green flags should I be looking for? (Assuming Jackson's is not a specialist in this area!) Thank you again! Stuart 06:24  Question 2 Hi Pete, Hi Roger, May I ask a question about pensions now being subject to IHT. My father in law's strategy for passing on his wealth was to pass on an unused pension, previously protected from IHT, and he had also invested in AIM shares, again also previously exempt from IHT but now subject to 20% tax. He is nearly 82. What options might you suggest for him to consider on either of those points, but in particular the pension point. Draw the pension and gift it? Thank you very much. Love the pod and religious listener! Jo 13:00  Question 3 Hi Pete and Roger, A great many thanks for all that you do towards simplifying personal finance principles. It is with thanks to your guidance that I am living within my means and on a budget with clear financial objectives. My question today is on behalf of a family member, let's call her Glynda. Glynda is 58 years old and intends to continue working until she can claim her full state pension. She currently has two private pension pots, one is a SIPP on the Vanguard platform and one is her workplace scheme with a smaller provider I've never heard of called Creative Trust. A few years ago, she chose to withdraw her 25% tax free cash allowance from her SIPP with a view to investing this in rental property. For one reason or another this didn't actually happen so she is now saving this aside as her 18 month cash buffer. To withdraw the 25% tax free cash, she had to “crystallise” the entire SIPP pot. The remainder is still invested in 100% equities - the growth engine as you say, but it is now in a flexi access drawdown account, not a pre-retirement pot. Meanwhile, the workplace scheme is growing nicely with contributions of around £3500/yr, which is not insignificant on her modest salary. This pension is not yet “crystallised” and is also aggressively invested through the limited fund selection on that platform. You have spoken at length about pensions but my question has not yet come up, though I appreciate it may be niche. If the SIPP has been crystallised and the Workplace scheme has not, can they still be combined? Does Glynda need to take her tax free cash from her workplace scheme BEFORE transferring/combining this scheme into her SIPP for ease of management? If she opts NOT to take the tax free cash before transferring, does she lose that option? What is the point of “crystallisation”? Why is it even a thing in a world of flexi access drawdown, it seems irrelevant to me. Do platforms charge different levels of fees post-crystallisation? If so, can Glynda transfer her crystallised SIPP to a new provider if savings can be made on fees. Many Thanks, Sam 19:48  Question 4 Hi Pete and Roger, I have been an avid listener to the podcast for a long time now, probably 5 years, what a journey! Thank you for all the content you put out. Pete; I think I read your book first which put me on to the podcast, or perhaps it was the other way around, I can't remember. I'm pleased to say that when I read your book, I then went through it with a fine toothcomb and ticked off everything I needed to do! Needless to say I've been in a good situation for a while now, thanks to you, your book and this podcast. I still use a Meaningful Money Budget Spreadsheet to plan my monthly finances! I did leave a review a good while ago on the app store letting you know how Meaningful Money has helped me! I have attached a picture of my copy of your book, hope you don't mind all the post it notes! My question is surrounding Emergency Funds and what criteria we should apply as to whether something is an “emergency?” Classic things such as a broken down car, a leak in the house or the boiler breaking down are all perfect scenarios for an emergency fund. But what about other more vague scenarios? This question has come about because of my current situation. I unfortunately have a toxic boss and work environment which is affecting my mental health. It's clear I need to leave the job, as my continued attempts to change the environment and my mindset have been unsuccessful. So, I am about to hand in my resignation, in the next few weeks and just go ahead and use my emergency fund, as this detriment to my mental health cannot continue. However, there's a strong feeling inside that this isn't really what an emergency fund is for. Particularly too, as I don't have a strong exit plan. I have no other job lined up, I just need to get out of there. So what do you think? Should the fund have strict rules as to what is, and is not an emergency? I suspect your answer will be that the holder of the emergency fund decides what is and is not an emergency. That being said if there isn't strict rules surrounding it, then it would be quite easy for someone to decide a night out on the ale is an emergency due to a stressful week! Or can the rules be more “fluid” and a night down the pub is acceptable? Sorry about the pun! I'd be interested to know your thoughts. Thanks again and I look forward to hearing your response! Many Thanks, Phil 24:36  Question 5 Hi Pete & Roger Thanks for all your podcast episodes - I've been listening for years and you've saved me a lot of money through not needing to pay an advisor (thanks to your free info) and not making expensive mistakes. I'm not sure if I'm your core demographic (33yo woman in London) but find all your content useful for me, my friends, brother and parents. My question: I co-own a flat and live in it. My friend owns the other half but doesn't live with me. We have a joint residential mortgage and also have to pay a £250pm service charge and ground rent as it's a leasehold with right to manage. It's a 35yr mortgage so we get about £200pm equity and pay around £800pm interest. It's a great flat but I want to move to a larger property in a different area, initially renting as it'll take quite a long time to sell the flat (for various reasons I won't go into!). If we rent the flat out and I go and rent elsewhere, I'll be making a loss on the flat (I'm a 40% taxpayer and the rental income would cover the mortgage + service charge + agency fees but I believe I'd have to pay tax on income not profit hence the loss). There's also insurance, council registration fee, maintenance etc. Obviously I'd then pay rental money to a landlord too for the house I move to. I know property taxes have changed in recent years and I'm very supportive of landlords being taxed on profits. However, my initial research suggests that professional landlords who buy property through companies only pay tax on (company) profits whereas I'd pay tax on revenue. I'd pay 40% vs them paying corp tax (25% ish?). Is my understanding right and is there any regulation or tax relief specifically for "accidental" landlords who are also renting a home themselves rather than having a big empire of properties as a business? Also how would the tax work for co-owners, would I just pay 40% tax on half of the rental income? My friend lives abroad in case that's relevant. I know there are a lot of accidental landlords due to cladding, relationship changes etc so am hoping the question is also useful for other listeners. Thank you! Emma 32:33  Question 6 Thanks for an excellent podcast - one of the best in the personal finance space. Around 6 years ago I inherited a low 6 figure sum which I put into a GIA. Each year I have made Bed & ISA transfers to diffuse any Capital Gains and to move more of my money into a tax shelter. As we have had a strong investment environment over this period I still have a reasonable balance in the GIA. Now the government has reduced the annual Capital Gains allowance to such an extent that I expect to be unable to defuse all of my Capital Gains each year. This will limit the amount I can Bed & ISA and I expect the GIA balance to start increasing compounding the issue. To be honest I don't think this will be an unusual position to be in as you will not require an unfeasible balance in a GIA to pay CGT on "gains" solely due to inflation. My current plan is to allow the above to happen by only utilising my annual CGT allowance and not paying CGT while I am working. My question is how CGT is charged in early retirement. Lets say I stop working at 55 and don't take my pension until 57 (earliest I can). I will have no income for two years so my Personal Allowance will be unused. In this case can I make £15,570 of gains in the year before CGT? Searching online I can only find information on Basic and Higher Rate GGT and not Nil Rate. Thanks, Simon 38:43  Question 7 Hi, Love the podcast. I have some questions about pension contribution limits and tax relief. My taxable employment income for 2024/2025 is around £30k. I already contribute to a workplace pension via salary sacrifice. The total amount paid in by my employer is £12k. I am using my full ISA allowance but still have savings and investments in a GIA, not sheltered from tax and would like to pay a lump sum into a SIPP before the end of the tax year. My questions are: What's the maximum I can pay in? Is it £30k or do I have to subtract my employer workplace contributions, so only 18k? I keep finding conflicting information online! If it's 30k, does this mean I actually pay in 24k? If it's 30k, would I receive government top up on all of it, even though I didn't pay tax on the first £12,570? Does the contribution to a SIPP actually reduce my taxable income? So if I contribute the full £30k (assuming I can) is my personal allowance then unused by employment? I have savings and investments income of around £10k from my GIA. Would this then fall inside my personal allowance and no tax be due? Thanks for any help you can offer. I'm so confused with all the information online! Thanks so much for the podcast - keep up the good work. Alison  

On today's episode, Matt walks through a scenario many investors encounter after periods of strong growth: owing capital gains taxes.  If you have investments in a non-retirement account where your growth is subject to capital gains tax, you likely have some gains from the last few years of market growth.  While no tax is due until you realize those gains, there is also the possibility that your portfolio is no longer in the desired ratio of stocks to bonds.  How can you rebalance your portfolio without incurring a hefty tax bill?  Matt covers some of the considerations to determine the right strategy for you.

In this episode of Beer & Money, Ryan Burklo discusses two common misunderstandings about dividends. He explains what dividends are, how they affect stock prices, and the tax implications associated with them. The episode aims to educate listeners on the nuances of dividends, emphasizing the importance of understanding their impact on investments and taxes. Check out our website:  beerandmoney.net For a quick assessment of your current financial life go to: https://www.livingbalancesheet.com/lbsVision/lite/RyanBurklo Takeaways Dividends are payments made by companies to shareholders from profits. When dividends are paid, stock prices typically decrease by the dividend amount. Dividends are taxed as ordinary income, which can be higher than capital gains tax. Long-term capital gains tax rates can be significantly lower than ordinary income tax rates. Understanding the tax implications of dividends is crucial for effective financial planning. Investors should consider both dividends and stock price appreciation in their strategies. Consulting with a CPA can help clarify individual tax situations regarding dividends. The perception of dividends can be overly positive or negative; understanding is key. Financial education is essential for making informed investment decisions. Controlling finances and understanding investments leads to better financial outcomes.

Welcome to the first Tax Tuesday episode of 2025. Anderson Advisors attorneys Toby Mathis, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., discuss topics including whether hours spent on personal and rental properties count towards real estate professional status, the tax implications of using an LLC for a brokerage account that generates short-term capital gains, and how to handle HOA dues when calculating the cost basis of a condominium. They also discuss the consequences of failing to issue a 1099 to contractors, how to navigate a tricky 1031 exchange, and strategies to minimize capital gains taxes when selling a rental property. You'll hear about ways to structure personal and business finances for educational deductions, managing a 401(k) loan from a tax perspective, and tips for maximizing tax benefits as a 1099 medical professional. Send your tax questions to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com. Highlights/Topics: "I have a solo handyman business, do my hours performing services for homeowners and real estate investors properties count towards rep hours. Do my hours working on my residence count towards rep hours if I plan to move out and rent the house?" - Absolutely. That's exactly what you're supposed to do. That time is exactly what we're looking for to get over 750 hours of material participation in the management of your properties, et cetera. "I am selling weekly options and was advised to put my brokerage account into an LLC taxed as a partnership. Doesn't this expose me to the same tax liability I have now with no LLC? What is the best tax strategy for a brokerage account that is making a large profit that is all from short-term capital gains?" -No, you're not going to have the same tax liability by putting it in that type of partnership. But there's a lot of other things you can do. "When calculating the cost basis of a condominium, how does one identify and add the portion of HOA dues spent for capital improvements to the property?" - If it's your personal residence, we don't deduct HOA costs. "What happens if I don't issue a 1099 to an outside contractor? How do you spend a virtual assistant who made over $15,000?" - You can get penalized up to $600, perhaps more, if you don't get the 1099 out. VA's overseas, if not a US taxpayer, you don't need to send a 1099. "How many properties must I acquire to meet the real estate professional status?" - The number of properties is irrelevant. You could have one, you could have a hundred. It's how much time you put into it. "I have a rental property that I would like to sell. I purchased it in 1999 for $175, 000. The current value is $450,000–$500,000. How can I reduce capital gains taxes?" - The quick, real easy, no brainer answer, you could do a 1031-like kind of exchange. "I'm in a 1031 exchange gone bad. The funds are with the intermediary in the escrow account. The replacement property seller did not cooperate and the deal is falling through. Now what can I do?" - Quick answer, you can pay tax. You could try and make the payments in installments. "Can I structure and set up something through my business and nonprofit or personally that will allow me to deduct my child's college education expenses." "I'm aware of state-specific 529 programs." - You don't get a tax deduction for a 529 plan. "I currently have a loan on my solo 401(k) and I want to pay it off early and turn around and take out another loan. How do I handle that from a tax perspective?" - You need to check with your particular plan. I just throw that out there for people who are thinking maybe of doing the same. "I am a 1099 medical professional. What can I do from now on to properly prepare myself to maximize my tax situation? I'm on the payroll for my S-Corp and managing the 1099 income through the S Corp." "I don't know if I should be doing anything else." - Quarterly tax meetings. That's always the answer. Putting it in an S-Corp was the right thing.
