Taxes. Don’t we love taxes? I happen to love taxes. Not only because, well, I have to file them and pay them, but also because they’re constantly changing. So understanding what today’s tax law is what’s going to make you money or lose you money, I can’t tell you how many times people think, well, if I sell my primary home, I’ve got two years to reinvest. Or if I sell capital gains, it’s always just 15% capital gains rates. There’s no additional rates out there. Both of those are completely wrong. And if you’re working under those ideas, you’re going to lose money on taxes. You need help, you need to call me immediately. 615-367-0819.
