It’s an interview with Jake crain saying he’s not worried and about lane kiffin’s offense at LSU and fans shouldn’t worry either. Then says LSU will win a NC in the next 4 years.

I stopped after 1.5 minutes, video length is just under 10 minutes.

Why did you get out and what has changed from when you got out til now?
I could’ve dreamed this but I thought Joel mchale wrote about it in his book, Thanks for the Money.

Definitely tax avoidance. Possible tax fraud.

It’s a running total. Your cpa will know what to do.

You will need to know how much total depreciation should have been taken while the property was in rental use.

Start with old tax returns but you’ll also need to calculate depreciation that wasn’t taken but should have been.

Residential property has a useful life of 27.5 years.

There are a ton of depreciation recapture estimators online to give you an idea but if you’ve had the same tax software used for those tax returns, it could calculate this for you without you doing a whole lot of digging.

You get 250k (500k if married filing jointly) capital gain exclusion if you qualify with the 2 of last 5 years.

If at any point in time you rented the property in question out, you’ll need to deal with the depreciation recapture for the depreciation for the time it was rented.

Please note: you have to account for depreciation recapture even if you did not take the depreciation in the years it was rented out.

As always, speak to a tax professional.
Might be something to do with key players opting out to avoid injury for the draft.
Made it through the second to last season. Will pick up the final season at some point.

But yea, it starts off awesome and then drops off.

Id keep your speculative (gambled) investments to 10% of your taxable brokerage account holdings. Put the rest in index funds or “safer” etfs.
At 500k in w2 wages the rental losses will likely be limited and stacked for the future when they move back to lower tax brackets.

Not bad advice but, again, make sure you talk to a cpa before doing this so they can explain what it will look like.
You have until April 15 to contribute to the Roth IRA for 2025 so don’t feel like you have to get it done today. You’ll just designate what year the contribution is from when you make the contribution
Talk to a cpa.

When you say you are “getting killed with taxes” what exactly does that mean? Do you pay a lot in April every year?

Or are you just concerned with future taxes due to being a high earner?

Are you maxing your 401k contributions?

7500 is new limit. Then 1,100 for the catch up contribution
