    113 - Extensions: The Good the Bad and the Ugly

    Alright, we have just passed the April 15th deadline for the 2023 tax returns. In this video, I will break down the reasons why we need extensions, when it makes sense to file them, and the potential issues that can arise. I will discuss the benefits of extensions, such as more time to file without penalties and the opportunity to implement tax strategies. However, there are also drawbacks, including longer wait times for refunds. Lastly, I will address the ugly truth about extensions - they do not give you more time to pay your taxes. It's important to understand these nuances to avoid any surprises. Watch the video to learn more!

    111 - Bement Blueprint - The 3 key entity structures for everyone

    In this video, I am excited to share the details of the Beemint blueprint. It consists of three entity structures that can help you build wealth, grow your business, and protect your assets.

    109 - Get a Tax Deduction for State Taxes You're Already Paying

    In this video, I explain how you can get a tax deduction for state taxes that you're already paying. I discuss the problem of the cap on state and local tax deductions, and then present a solution called the pass-through entity tax payment. I provide an example and explain how prepaying state taxes through your business can lower your taxable income and save you money on taxes. I also offer important considerations and resources for implementing this strategy. Watch the video to learn how you can take advantage of this tax deduction opportunity.
