Today I go over tax issues when inheriting money including IRA’s. I discuss gift tax rules and the advantages of using 529 plans for estate planning and college planning. I also take a look at renting a home vs. buying. I go over an email question regarding using life insurance as an investment and explain the American Opportunity Tax Credit for college. Rob Black and I talk about building a financial base and why you want a fee based financial planner.
