EP 126 | Tax Changes to Know About Before Year End

EP 126 | Profit Boss® Radio

2018 is almost over and it’s the first year of the new Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that dramatically overhauled our tax code as we know it. So, what do you need to know? And what things should you make sure you address before year-end? I’m going to cover all of it in today’s show.

In today’s episode, I discuss how the largest and most anticipated tax reform act passed by Congress since 1986 will affect you. There is lots packed into the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, so I try to give a high-level overview of the details that matter most to you.

Today’s conversation should help you prepare for a successful 2019 and beyond. With the new Tax Cuts and Jobs Act taking effect this year, most of you are probably wondering how these new rules are going to impact you personally. Fortunately, you’re already getting ahead of the changes by listening to today’s episode!

Now is a perfect time to find out how the new laws will impact your tax situation so that you can take steps before the end of the year to lawfully minimize your taxes and maximize your nest egg. I also prepared a few resources for you relating to this episode. I provide access a detailed transcript of today’s episode so you can reference anything I talked about in more depth, a guide to the new tax brackets, and a Quick Reference Guide you can download for the new tax changes if you just need a fast summary of the major changes.
