It’s not how much you make; it’s what you keep. Many people in the US earn their money from a regular job; they get a paycheck and routinely pay income taxes. But the way wealthy Americans make money is more diverse, as are their investments. What wealthy Americans know is that the key to financial planning strategy is taxes. They know how to create sophisticated tax-saving measures, which in turn save dollars that can be reinvested to generate additional wealth. Recently, the United States income tax code underwent significant changes. This course will demystify the revisions to the tax code and examine their impact on a broad range of financial planning strategies, including purchasing a personal residence and other investment real estate, financing education, saving for retirement, estate planning, charitable giving, and minimizing the alternative minimum tax.

We will cover the still-relevant details of the SECURE and CARES acts and other new legislation passed into law. By the end of the course, you will have the tools necessary to estimate your tax bill and be able to fold your knowledge of the new tax laws into your financial strategy.
