2023 Tax Action Plan For Passive Investors
Are you determined to pay lower taxes legally?As a passive investor, you need to know how you can have LEGAL tax deductibles that will lower the tax you'll be paying. Focus on the 'big balls' like passive activity losses (PALs) that can reduce your adjusted gross income (AGI). When a taxpayer has a loss from a passive activity, they can use that loss to offset income from other passive activities, as well as income from non-passive activities, up to the amount of their taxable income from all sources. This can lower the taxpayer's AGI and reduce their overall tax liability.Learn other tax strategies by joining our mastermind group at https://simplepassivecashflow.com/club. Hosted on Acast.
