In this episode of the Main Street Business Podcast, Mark J. Kohler and Mat Sorensen host an open forum, addressing your top tax and legal questions. They dive into why having an LLC is crucial for protecting your assets, how Medicaid clawbacks can impact your estate, and the benefits of elder law planning. Whether you're looking to safeguard your wealth or prepare for the future, this episode has essential insights.

Here are some of the highlights:

• Mark & Mat Matt explain how Medicaid can go after significant assets if the parents have them, but the home is typically exempt.
• Mat warns about potential estate planning issues if the parents sell the house to their children for less than market value.
• Mark and Mat advise against using a Lady Bird Deed alone and recommend setting up a trust instead for a more comprehensive estate plan.
• How you can either take mileage deductions or actual expenses, but an LLC provides better asset protection.
• LLC provides asset protection and can be converted to an S corporation if needed.
• Airdropped crypto is considered a disallowed contribution to the Roth IRA and should be moved to a personal wallet.
• Children under age 18 do not require a 1099 or W-2, and paying them as outside labor is best.
