No, no, no! She’s not a medical doctor, but she can sure cure your tech problems or your financial woes. She’s the how-to girl. It’s the Dr. Friday Show. If you have a question for Dr. Friday, call her now. 737 WWTN – that’s 737-9986. So here’s your host, financial counselor, and tax consultant Dr. Friday.
Dr. Friday 0:29
Good day! I’m Dr. Friday, and the doctor is in the house. Yes, we are live today, the last Saturday before Christmas. Santa is going to be packing his sleigh really soon. And so we thought we’d help out. We’re going to have some giveaways today. Also, we’re going to share some really unique and strange tax laws. Some that are in existence, some of them that are only in certain states, but you know, taxes can be fun and exciting and, you know, a little bit odd and I think so at least. So, if you want to join the show, the got questions about taxes because we all know tax season is around the corner for the 2019 tax year, or maybe you haven’t filed for 2017 or 2018 or many many years behind, 615-737-9986. 615-737-9986. I thought this is an interesting fact. A resident of New Mexico who is over the age of 100 does not have to pay New Mexican or New Mexico personal income tax. So if you make it to 100, guess what? You don’t have to pay income tax. Tell me that it is pretty cool. At least something comes with age because we all know that when you know you hit 65 and you think about Oh, should I take social security or should I do that? Different things? Alright, so in New Mexico over 100, interesting fact, no state income tax. Let’s go to the phones, we got Mac. Hey Mac.
Caller 1:56
Hi, this is Mark, how are you?
Dr. Friday 1:58
Oh, hey Mark. Sorry, my mouse is over the thing, it’s all my fault. What can I do for you?
Caller 2:05
Great. So I appreciate what you’re doing here publicly. I recently started driving for Uber. Will that be a Schedule C? And how much can I pick up?
Dr. Friday 2:15
Yes, that will be considered a small business and you can deduct miles, that’s gonna be your largest. You’re also going to have some of the other fees that Uber charges you depending on. I have some people that actually are buying their car through Uber and all kinds of different things, phones and different things, but it’s mainly going to be your miles. Now, the question is going to be marked on the miles is the IRS basically stipulates from your home to your first place of pickup is commuting, not miles. So but from that point, while you’re on the clock, theoretically, sometimes let’s say someone takes someone from Nashville down to Spring Hill, they can’t get another trip, so they’re gonna have to drive back to Nashville before they get the next pickup. That would be considered miles.
Caller 3:02
Okay, great. Thank you so much.

Live from America’s Music City Ladies and gentlemen, it may be Saturday where you are but it’s Friday, all day, every day all the time with the tax doctor, the tax lady, the doctor of accounting known in these parts of America as the Dr. Friday and live from the parade scene. There she is. And here she is Dr. Friday. Hello, Dr. Friday!
Dr. Friday 0:50
Hello John sounds like you guys had an awesome show going there. I totally missed it this year.
John Haggard 0:55
Well, we missed you. I gotta tell you it’s a wild of just a great hour. I got to talk to some people. One guy called in and he said, I’ve been trying to win that venison, that deer meat for four years, or at least a couple of years or whatever.
Dr. Friday 1:08
It always shocked me on how many people, well, I mean, we get the ton of phone calls when he gives away that deer meat every time.
John Haggard 1:14
It’s really something and he’s a deer hunter. And so Joe said, as you probably heard, you want the left side of the deer the right and you said the left. Now, I don’t know the difference between the left and the right side. Do you?
Dr. Friday 1:24
No, I was curious when he asked that, I was like is meat better on one side of the deer vs the other? I mean, I don’t know the big difference, you know? I’m sure there’s one side of it that may have more… I don’t know, better meat, apparently. Who knows?
John Haggard 1:38
I’ll tell you what, if anybody says anything to me about deer meat and they ask I’m gonna say left side. I don’t know why. But if Joe said left side, I’m going left side.
Dr. Friday 1:49
Better side, we’re all gonna go with that. This is a little bit – next week, we’re having our big giveaway. First time in eight years. We did do it together. Next year we will be back together here. But this next week we’re going t

Dr. Friday 0:29
All right. We’re here in studio today with Hank Parrott with the Estate and Financial Strategies. How are you, mate?
Hank Parrott 0:36
All right, another good day.
Dr. Friday 0:38
Another good day in the neighborhood. We’re going to have an awesome day. And we’re going to talk a little bit about some of the risks of being in retirement, how that might affect people’s taxes, Social Security benefits. All those kind of things because it’s that time of the year where I think people also need to be making some pretty major decisions as far as are they on track or do we need to make a final adjustment before year-end.
Hank Parrott 1:02
Yeah, good time. I mean, we’re talking this is Roth conversion time, this is a great time before the end of the year, would meeting with clients here recently and have found some great opportunity for them to do Roth conversions and then doing the Roth conversion, we’re clearing out some taxes, take advantage of the really low tax rates that we have right now. And in many of these instances, when we’re doing the analysis, we’re saving, I mean, we’re talking about tens of thousands of dollars in tax savings and money. They’re not going to have to write checks to the IRS.
Dr. Friday 1:34
Well, and that’s why I love having you on the show to a point because my job is really to do taxes. I’m an enrolled agent. I’m licensed with the IRS, but I do taxes and representation which basically means instant gratification, in most cases. Sure, put some money in an IRA, if it’s a good thing, and I don’t know their final tax plan. So I’m just looking at a standard IRA because that’s going to help me tax-wise may not be a great approach because of Roths or whatever. So that’s why I think people have to have that plan to have a bigger picture, then going to your tax person every year and say, here’s my portfolio, which of course, I have absolutely really no idea if that’s a good fund or bad fund. It’s not my background, right? I mean, so all I’m gonna say is, well, if you take money out, this is what you pay in taxes, if you leave it here, you don’t pay taxes, you know, and that’s kind of the extent. You need a bigger picture.

Dr. Friday 0:29
Good day! I’m Dr. Friday and the doctor is in the house. It is an awesome Saturday out there and I know it’s just about that time for Turkey day. So you know, it’s also that time that we have to start thinking about a new tax season, right? We got through October 15th. It’s time for us to start thinking about what are we going to do for the 2019 tax season? Is there something we should be thinking about? Because once we hit Thanksgiving, you have a couple of weeks that you might be able to do something and then you start hitting the holidays for Christmas. And it’s very difficult to get a hold of people to get things done. So if you’re thinking about a Roth conversion, or you’re thinking about doing something even setting aside the money for an IRA, remember, you can only contribute an IRA up to April the 15th. So you just need to make sure that you have it all worked out, you want to plan in advance what you’re going to do, is it really worth putting your money in a regular deductible IRA? Or should you really think a Roth IRA for the next few years? Because I mean, let’s be honest, tax brackets are really low right now.
Dr. Friday 1:32
And if you’re a married couple making $100,000 or less, in my humble opinion, I’m not your financial planner, but saving 12% if I put it into an IRA and deferring it paying the 12% now and then when I retire, it’s grown tax free and I will probably be in possibly the 12% or even higher now there’s no guarantee I don’t know your financial situation. So but think about it, talk to somebody, but business owners. Let’s take a talk and see what we have. We’ve caught very soon, we’re going to be getting ready to do 1099 and W-2s. We have to have them done, completed out the door by January 31st, which basically means as soon as we’re back from the holidays of New Year’s, we are starting to obtain that. all through the year though, you need to be making sure that you’re obtaining the information for your subcontractors, you hire somebody. And this also includes you with rental properties. If you hire somebody to do a repair and it’s over $600, that handyman, that AC company, because many of them are LLC, which means we still have to 1099 them any kind of that roofing company if it’s not a corporation, we were supposed to be issuing 1099s for those jobs done.

Good day! I’m Dr. Friday and the doctor is in the house! That’s right. We are ready to rock. Well, I mean, it’s taxes. Come on. There’s no more exciting than that, you know. And today, we’ve got one of my best friends here in the studio. Hank Parrott. You guys know who Hank is.
Hank Parrott 0:46
There we go. Just to make it really exciting today. We can talk about taxes. We can talk about finances, we can talk about investing…
Dr. Friday 0:54
Numbers! We can talk about numbers people. Yes! Alright, well, and probably Hank and I are totally two people really totally enjoying this, but that’s one of the reasons I think we’ve been friends for over 20 years. Because we both the… So if you’ve got a question, let’s say you’re looking at the end of the year, this is the time you really need to do that evaluation. You need to say, should I be selling stock? If I sell it now, is there really just because you’re saving tax dollars this year, is that really a smart move? Should you be doing conversion? Should you… And remember, there’s been some new tax laws. So if you decide to do the conversion, then you’re like, oops, I shouldn’t have done that, oops, is no longer an answer. It’s done. You gotta live with it. We got the required minimum distributions we need to talk about. There are some advantages to doing things with charitable contributions through that. Also, if you don’t take… if you know, and I’m saying the words required minimum distribution, you have absolutely no idea and you are in your late 60s, or 70s, or 80s. And you have no idea then either you do not have a retirement account or you’ve missed the boat, and there’s some serious penalties that we could be getting hit with. So we’re gonna talk all of that. Be prepared!
Hank Parrott 2:02
Yeah, this is the end of the year. So if you, if you turned 70 and a half this year, you’ve got until December 31st to get that required minimum distribution out of that retirement account. Of course, we’re talking traditional, not Roth, unless it’s an inherited Roth. And then you may even have…
Dr. Friday 2:19
Well, if it’s inherited for individual other than a spouse, you’ve got the requirement of distributions, no matter if it’s a Roth…

Dr. Friday 0:59
That’s a good thing, too. I like to stay out of trouble.
John Haggard 1:01
Staying out of trouble is always a good thing. So we always like to open the show with any breaking news from Washington other than the impeachment thing, and then listen to that and all this other stuff that has to do with tax accounting in any way or is that all been shoved to the back for now?
Dr. Friday 1:19
Is he also have federal Department of Labor has come down with some new tax laws which, if you’re an entrepreneur, you know, we have to comply with state and federal laws. And it’s a small group, but for me, many of my clients have employees that are on salary. And there is a minimum that you have to pay and the certain criteria that they have now settled saying that if you have a person that you don’t want to worry about overtime that they have to basically make. Right now, the law up until December 31st is 400 and, I believe, it’s 75 dollars. They can be as long as their supervisors, they have control over two or more employees, they can hire fire. There are some rules that you can not have to worry about tracking overtime in everyday situations. Well, they’ve just changed the law that that same employee now has to be $684 as of January 1st. So that’s a big jump for people that were making less than $500. Now making $684. So it’s almost $200 jumps per week. So that’s going to be a big change for small business owners. They have not passed the minimum wage increase yet, but that is still very strong on the table.

October 22, 2019 Can Grandparents Get A Tax Deduction For Contributing To A 529 Plan?
Dr. Friday
Good day. I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one minute moment.
Can grandparents get a tax deduction for contributing to a 529 plan? Yes, grandparents can claim the deduction for contributing to a 529 plan if they live in one of 34 states that offer a state income tax deduction for 529 plan. I will let you know Tennessee is not one of those states. So it’s still a great thing to help save for your grandkid’s graduation or college education. But the fact is, it’s not going to be a tax deduction on your federal tax return. And since we really don’t have a state income tax, then we’re not going to get much advantage.
So if you have questions (615) 367-0819.

Live from America’s Music City. It may be Saturday where you are but it’s Friday, all day, every day all the time with the tax doctor, the tax lady, the doctor of accounting. Known in these parts of America as the Dr. Friday and right there she is. Hello, Dr. Friday!
Dr. Friday 0:47
Hey John! What an intro, what an intro. I love it.
John Haggard 0:51
I tell you what, when you’re as a big of a star as you are you got to really build it up. You know, just trying to match.
Dr. Friday 0:55
Yeah. John, no one’s asking me for autographs. Apparently, Dr. Electric has got a whole fan club going, you know?
John Haggard 1:03
I think he does, I think he does. That’s a pretty big deal. You’re start getting asked… You know after 10 years he ought to be able to get an autograph after 10 years, don’t you think on the year? I think he’s been on the air for 10 years.
Dr. Friday 1:15
Who would think so? But he’s like a rock star, baby. I mean, my goodness! I love it.
John Haggard 1:19
He is a rock star and you’re the tax star. A lot of people may be tuning in for the very first time to the Dr. Friday show. And if you are, here’s what’s going on, because you might say, well, what is this all about. Dr. Friday, we call her the tax lady because she is an enrolled agent with the Internal Revenue Service. Now what that means is she does not work for the Internal Revenue Service But much like an attorney who can represent you in a court of law if you’ve got some problems. She can do the same thing as an enrolled agent with the IRS and you never have to speak to them again. As Dr. Friday affectionately always says, if you are tired of those love letters from the IRS call Dr. Friday, she will become the enrolled agent for you. And you won’t have to talk to them anymore. So I always like to ask Dr. Friday. Is there been any big news? You know, Trump’s on TV every day and we’re talking about tax legislation, tax things that may happen won’t happen should happen could happen, whatever.

Good day I’m Dr. Friday and the doctor is in the house. That’s right. It’s a fabulous Saturday out there. Hopefully you guys are enjoying down in Spring Hill they’re having one of those touch the truck things. Oh, my God, traffic is horrible down there guys just to let you know. I remember as a kid, we always enjoyed that. I have been blessed, I should say honored to have one of my friends here. And his name is Nathan Wright. This guy is awesome. And something big kind of happens in October for me. October 15, especially is a big day because that’s the day tax returns for all those procrastinators. Individual tax returns, we usually do on the 15th. I think it’s the 16th this year, but because of the holiday, but it’s only thing I think about. But you know what? Nathan says, hey you know what else happens at that time? What else happens in October for other people?

I didn’t realize that every year, we should have been looking just like my own personal health insurance every year to you should revisit this particular. So why don’t we talk a little bit? What does open enrollment mean? And why is it so important for us to be thinking about that when it comes up, Nathan?
Nathan Wright 2:06
So you know, open enrollment is a time when you can actually review your plan, whether you have a Medicare Advantage, or a Part D prescription drug plan, that’s the time of the year that you may want to look, because you should have gotten an annual notice of change by now. And when you get that annual notice of change, you will see that there is changes with your plan. And you may want to review that and see if there’s something better for the next year.
Dr. Friday 2:33
Yeah, and that’s I mean, I’ll be honest, a lot of times, it’s like when the credit card company send you those changes or your insurance company, most of us like what can’t change it. I mean, it’s not like they’re giving me a vote to say yes, I would accept
