John Cole Scott, chief investment officer at Closed-End Fund Advisors -- chairman of the Active Investment Company Alliance -- says that today's rate uncertainty has created attractive entry points for some municipal-bond funds because they are trading at big discounts and, in many cases, have gone through a dividend cut, thereby reducing the potential for another cut moving forward. Scott doesn't minimize the pain the muni funds have experienced this year, but notes that investors who are brave enough to double-down should be rewarded as the rate cycle plays out, although he cautioned against looking at yield as the selling point rather than combining yield with discount and net asset values to determine the best opportunities.

Noland Langford, chief executive at Left Brain Investment Research says that with the Federal Reserve poised to hike interest rates several times this year, growth-oriented investors can find the right kind of "action" in corporate bonds and tax-free municipal bonds. He is expecting yields of up to 4 percent on munis and says the corporate bonds can be purchased at discounted prices now, but with intermediate maturities that should have them paying off shortly after the rate-cycle ends. Langford also talks about the benefits of making Roth IRA conversions now, as investors consider their tax picture.

The median household pays more taxes in Texas than in California.In this episode, Trishul and Aaron explore different state and local tax rates across the country. In addition to state income taxes, they look at property taxes, sales taxes, and excise taxes on goods such as on gas, alcohol, and tobacco. While income taxes are consistently progressive in the states that actually charge an income tax, most of the other taxes are regressive when compared to income. The overall impact is that taxes end up disproportionately burdening the poor, which has led to greater inequality over time.Episode ReferencesWho Pays?State Income Tax BracketsStates with Highest and Lowest TaxesNew York State Tax ProfileCalifornia State TaxSales and Use Tax RatesExcise TaxFinnish Speeding Ticket Based on IncomeTaxation of Muni BondsPodcast DescriptionWelcome to The Mind Money Spectrum Podcast where your hosts Aaron Agte and Trishul Patel go beyond traditional finance questions to help you explore how to use your money to achieve the freedom you want in life.

You’re investing, great! Now we can take it a step further and learn how to optimize your taxes while investing. Larry Ludwig will explain the best tax efficient investing practices. The tax man gets enough of your hard earned bucks. Larry Ludwig from The Money Tree Investing Podcast will teach us how to optimize our investments for the biggest tax benefit. Larry recommends eight steps to maximize your tax savings: 1. 401k up to your employer’s match. 2. Traditional IRA 3. 401k post match. 4. Roth IRA 5. 529 Savings Account if you plan to send a child or yourself to college. 6. US I Savings Bonds, low yield but a good place to keep some emergency cash. 7. MLP and Muni Bonds for higher net worth, more sophisticated investors. 8. Taxable and Non Taxable Accounts, depending on your goal, buying a house, getting ready to retire, create a balance between taxable and tax deferred investments. If you’re looking for the most simple option, funnel money into a Roth IRA. If you are self employed, start a solo or SEP 401k. All the more reason to start your own business. It gives you so many more investing options than when you work for the man. Tax forms will be going out in a few months so you still have some time to get that money into an account that will give you the most tax shelter. Don’t overdo it though. You can have so much in tax deferred accounts that you don’t have anything liquid for an emergency.
