As the end of the year approaches, it’s time to reconnect with St. Louis on the Air’s go-to tax expert for tips. On Thursday’s show, host Don Marsh talked with Lance Weiss, a CPA and partner with SFW Partners, LLC, about actions people can take before the end of the year to minimize their tax liability for 2018.
Weiss also addressed the new tax forms to be issued, stating that “the new 1040 is significantly different looking than it was, and gone are the 1040EZ forms or 1040A forms; so no more short form or simplified form.”
Weiss explained further:
- Easy and difficult tax returns
- Itemizing deductions
- Tax implications on student loans
- New qualified business income deductions
- How to file taxes from investments
- Individual retirement accounts and deferring income
Listeners called in with their specific tax questions on:
- Itemizing deductions as a married couple
- When to file as a married couple and when to file separately
- Moving a 401K to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA)
- Default rule on interest and home equity line of credit
- Taxes on incomes from “non-traditional jobs” like Uber and Lyft
