Intro

On the second episode of a 5-part tax series of the Dentist Money Show, Tom Whalen, CPA joins Matt to unpack some of the most common misunderstandings in the world of tax planning for dentists. They explore the trade-offs that come with chasing deductions, the critical role of liquidity, and why long-term wealth building should take priority over short-term tax savings. They also highlight common mistakes dentists make—like ignoring cash flows or overemphasizing tax breaks—and why ongoing communication with your financial advisor is key.
