  • ‘Washington-proof’ your investments to avoid the tax time bomb

    WGN Radio’s Tom Fortino from Alpha Wealth Group gives you the latest financial business news, financial planning advice, and more!

    On The Alpha Wealth Hour this week, Tom wants to help you “Washington-proof” your investments to avoid the tax time bomb by tax planning as opposed to tax preparation. He also helps to attack the million-dollar question surrounding Social Security and to create an income floor. Later on, Tom says that whether or not there is a recession isn’t as important as if you have an income plan working for you.
