Financial media love to create lists of the “best” and “lowest cost” states to retire in. This week we answer a question about the differences between Tennessee, Texas, and Florida as retirement destinations, and what you should consider when relocating in retirement.It’s no secret that the IRS is underfunded right now. It takes most taxpayers months to receive refund checks, and most would rather go to the dentist than wait on hold to talk with the IRS.
Our guest this week is Tom Nally, who’s recently launched Tax Now to help taxpayers and their professionals navigate this landscape. The platform syncs up with the IRS database and simply notifies you when there are updates to your account. It’s a sorely needed tool, and Tom walks us through what he’s built and how the launch has gone.
We also cover an article about Trump’s interest in allowing the sitting president more control over monetary policy and summarize a volatile week in the markets.
