EPISODE 10. How to Tax Plan for Unexpected Income. Consumption Tax under the proposed “Fair tax” as compared to our current Income Tax system.


Listen Later

Let’s review these two tax topics today:

1)     Planning for Taxes when you receive nontraditional (non-W2) Income. This includes 1099 income, gambling winnings, and inheritances. I’ll look at examples and how much you should set aside. [:48]

2)     Also, could our tax code be revamped? A recent WSJ article discussed the “Fair Tax” plan and I break down why I think every taxpayer should be ready to debate change inside our nation’s tax system. [8:23]
