What This Tax Season Is Teaching Us

Episode 51

Friday, May 1, 2026 • Duration 33:56

We sit down to recap what we saw this season and the fixes you can make before next year's return. You'll learn how Form 8606 keeps your backdoor Roth from getting taxed twice, why earned income still matters in community property states, and how Form 8958 should split income when you file separately. We get into Schedule C pitfalls, the line between a business and a hobby, the home office deduction, and why homeowners need to know about depreciation.

We also cover a safe harbor approach for 1099 earners, what to expect in your 2026 tax planning meeting, and how the new SALT cap deduction is opening up itemizing for more of our clients.

Key moments:

(02:36) Form 8606 and the backdoor Roth pitfalls we saw this season

(09:18) Community property, earned income, and Form 8958

(14:51) Schedule C and the line between a business and a hobby

(21:17) Quarterly estimated payments and safe harbor for 1099 income

(28:50) The new SALT cap: who it helps and how it changes standard vs. itemized deductions

Data Over Drama (In Your Finances)

Episode 50

Friday, April 24, 2026 • Duration 27:24

Feelings and headlines can easily influence the choices we make with money—often at our own expense. I walk through how relying on stories or vibes (instead of cold, hard stats) can impact everything from investment picks to whether you stick with a high-value loan strategy like PSLF. We get into cognitive biases that trip up even the smartest people, dig into major financial opportunities that exist in obscure rules (like the Augusta Rule), and break down how “bad trades” happen when you don’t understand the real value of what you have.

Key moments:

(06:28) What commitment bias, anchoring, confirmation bias, and loss aversion do to your investment choices

(13:11) The Augusta Rule explained: rent your home up to 14 days a year, tax-free

(17:37) The Vanderbilt hat trade: refinancing federal loans you shouldn't, selling at a loss, and chasing salary without weighing benefits

Friday, February 20, 2026 • Duration 28:47

Going from DINKWAD (Dual Income, No Kids, With A Dog) to new parent is a wild ride. I'm sharing exactly what I did to financially prepare for birth and the first two weeks postpartum — from simplifying bills and meal planning to hospital supply hacks, Amazon returns, and freeing up mental space for the emotional ups and downs of new parenthood. If you're in the newborn stage (or almost there), this is your financial survival guide.

Key moments:

(02:10) What I did pre-birth so I could focus on my newborn, not my bills (11:30) How (and why) to maximize hospital resources covered by your insurance (14:40) Week 1 postpartum: What I bought, didn't use, and returned (20:11) Week 2 postpartum: medical bills, rewards program, and subscription services to reclaim time

Financial Planning Lessons From a Mountain Snowstorm

Episode 40

Friday, February 13, 2026 • Duration 16:57

What would you do if you were sliding backward down an icy mountain at 11 p.m. with your kids in the car? We walk through a terrifying near-miss and the powerful financial lessons that came from it: overconfidence bias, underinsuring your life and disability, and why preparedness isn't fear-based — it's freedom-based. You'll also hear why reflecting on your mortality might actually help you live (and spend) more intentionally. If you've ever found yourself on a slippery slope — literally or financially — this episode is for you.

Key moments:

(03:20) Why spending on safety, like snow tires or insurance, isn't optional

(06:37) No one should live in fear, but we should be better about being prepared

(12:52) Balancing long-term savings with living fully in the present
