Did you make any last minute tax moves in 2019
« on: December 31, 2019, 02:22:12 PM »
Rather frustrating that certain transactions need to take place months before I know the complete picture.

Based on a guestimate I put through a small ROTH IRA conversion (last year I did a large one, and my accountant was amazed at how I figured out the ability to do that for the right amount without ending up with a bigger tax bill - but then I had a better picture of my tax writeoffs for the year so was able to plan accordingly).

Did you make any last-minute moves?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

What ever happened to the old adage "owing more taxes is a good problem to have".  :P

That was based on making more money. I didn't work last year.  >:(

That's the benefit of working.
