It's a slippery slope for financial advisors to get into, recommending individual stocks to clients while simultaneously managing a diversified portfolio for them. All kinds of room for conflicts of interest.

But, Edward Jones. So...

Has anyone else checked out their paychecks since the new tax law went into place? I had tried to calculate what my take home increase would be but I actually underestimate by quite a bit!

Mines a little funky as my per paycheck tax deduction went up. And that's after I put $500 more per paycheck towards 401k catch-up. Even without the tax cuts, my tax deduction should be down due to the increased 401k deduction. But it's up $7.

Need to investigate.

I forget, does AZ have state income tax? Kansas can suck my cock.

We do. I'm just referencing Fed.

I have a fuckload of math to do. I went to CPE on the new tax bill RE: 20% deduction on S-Corp, LLC, SPs. Son of a bitch it is a fucking convoluted fucking mess. And you have to pull gain out of the convoluted mess to calculate the convoluted mess (they changed the rules on 1031 exchanges for equipment purchases so that number suddenly becomes massive).

The webinar made my head spin so I put it aside, but it is probably time to revisit it and see if I need to make any structural changes to my personal taxable income.

State income tax is still withheld, right? I thought you were talking about your net withholdings.

We really are fucking dorks talking about $7 of withholdings on your paycheck at 4:30AM and 3:30 AM respectively.

Yes. Haven't looked at the difference there. But for Fed, my taxes went up despite the tax cut and lowering my taxable income through increased 401K deduction.

I'm working right now. Monitoring my network build pilot in Europe.

I'm completely fucking lost, so you're way ahead of me.

Also in the middle of trying to figure out how to best advise my father on which corp he should form and how to set it up without getting murdered in my sleep by my sister.
[Reply]

Lol yup, that's why I asked about taxes here of all places. I knew I'd get the nerded out responses I was looking for!

Depends on what you want to get done. Shoot me a PM and I’ll give you my non-professional opinion.
