What Are You Missing in Your Own Tax Planning?

What Are You Missing in Your Own Tax Planning?18 Aug33 min

On this week's episode we turn it on the taxpayer. We look at the habits, assumptions, and easy shortcuts that quietly cost people money.

Along the way: a client who rated us three out of five over a strategy that saved her $150,000, a man paying $780,000 a year in tax who said "it is what it is," and a state tax cliff that cut a family's charitable deduction in half.
