You should do a video giving tips on how to fill out their W-4’s with their employer so that they get deducted the right amount of taxes from their paychecks, cause if they end up getting deducted the wrong amount ( less) on their paychecks, then when they file their taxes they will end up paying more and possibly not receiving a refund at all 🤦🏻‍♂️💯

@luis_g_77 2 ай бұрын

A small or no refund is fine with me because that means I was able to keep more of my income to use as I like throughout the year. When you get a refund, that isn't a reward, it's extra income withheld by the government until you file. Talk to you HR rep about adjusting your withholding if you want more or less to be due when you file taxes

@biblioholic7139 2 ай бұрын

Last I checked the IRS had a withholding calculator on its website that can tell you what amount to use on the W-4 to get the correct amount withheld and will export it into the form for you.

One tip I've found incredibly valuable is to stay proactive with tax planning throughout the year, rather than scrambling during tax season. By staying informed and making strategic adjustments along the way, we can optimize our financial strategies and keep more money in our pockets. Great video!

Absolutely, compound interest is a powerful force in building wealth over time, and long-term investing can greatly benefit from it. Investing in the S&P 500 index provides exposure to a diverse selection of large-cap U.S. stocks, which can help spread risk and potentially offer solid returns over time. The S&P 500 index is often seen as a benchmark for the overall performance of the U.S. stock market.

Utilizing the expertise of a professional analyst can also be advantageous, as it can provide access to valuable insights and strategies that may not be readily available to individual investors. Analysts can offer in-depth research, market analysis, and investment recommendations that align with an investor's financial goals and risk tolerance.

@user-qq5fy4nh8v 2 ай бұрын

@@user-qf1oe8el1k Overall, a combination of long-term investing in the S&P 500 index and leveraging the insights of a professional analyst can be a reliable strategy for wealth creation and financial growth. It's essential for each individual to carefully consider their investment goals, risk tolerance, and financial situation when making investment decisions.

Vivian.. the biggest mistake starts at the get go when people do their W-4’s… and it really can get confusing if the filer is married and or both of them have more than 1 job. People tend to make mistakes filing their W4’s and stand to lose thousands of $$ potentially when they file cause then the IRS takes more when they file rather than when they get taxes discounted from their paychecks

I almost sent mine in without the deduction for contributing to my Roth IRA. Also I stopped using tax help and do my own now like I used to when they used to send you the tax booklets out in the mail. I don't get much for a refund but still save hundreds.

Tax refund... What's that? I've had to pay big bucks the last five years. My employer (and my wife's employer) makes it so hard to add additional withholding.

I filed in February I had to pay $6 in Federal taxes and had $15 in my state return. I paid $120 something dollars just to file 1040 with H &R Block because i don't remember my efile pin oy

@ontheroad5555 2 ай бұрын

Sounds like you been ripped off. The efile pin is used to pull up prior tax record. They usually look for your AGI which is adjusted gross income to be able to do your current tax. That would be on line 11 of your 1040 tax return last year. Using that number makes filing the taxes simpler.

Might a person want to open a 403 b if the employer makes no contribution? Even if they already have Roth IRA?

@luis_g_77 2 ай бұрын

If you don't reach the max limit for contributions to your Roth IRA, then I agree, might as well skip the 403b since you don't get any benefit of a match. If I am maxing out my IRA, and still want more tax benefits of either traditional or roth 403b, then still contributing despite no match, still has it use. Also, check what are the fees and choice of funds in the 403b, if there are lots of fees, then maybe it's not worth it. Even some fees probably wouldn't stop me from taking advantage of the tax benefits of a 403b. Of course, talk to a professional who can look at all of your circumstances to help make a decision. There may be more factors to consider.
