In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

منذ 7 weeks28:44

28:44

About the Guest: Kareyna Miller Kareyna is a Michigan-based Certified Public Accountant (CPA) noted for her expertise in the cannabis industry. She has been practicing since 2011 and entered the cannabis sector in 2016. Kareyna is highly regarded for her knowledge in cannabis-related tax and accounting compliance and is recognized as an authority in handling the complex issues surrounding cannabis industry taxes and financial attestations. She actively participates in educational initiatives for cannabis professionals and maintains involvement in industry groups and resources. Episode Summary: In this episode, hosts John and Chris delve into the intriguing dynamics of cannabis industry taxation. This episode features a detailed discussion with Kareyna Miller, CPA, who addresses the nuanced relationship between cannabis and taxes. The exploration is timely given that changes in regulations and federal classifications could impact industry finances. The core discussion reveals essential tax considerations and implications that businesses within the cannabis industry face, drawing significant insights from Miller's experience and expertise. Throughout the conversation, the dialogue reveals the intricacies of operating within a highly regulated industry. The cannabis sector's unique tax challenges arise from federal classifications, chiefly the implications of IRS Code §280E. This legislation prohibits cannabis-related businesses from deducting ordinary business expenses, setting the stage for a fascinating exploration of accounting strategies these businesses employ to remain compliant and economically viable. As potential reclassification from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3 looms, the podcast underscores the significance of forthcoming legal changes and how these could reshape financial strategies within the sector. Key Takeaways: Unique Taxation (280E): Cannabis businesses struggle with IRS Code §280E, which limits tax deductions to only cost of goods sold due to federal classification as a Schedule 1 controlled substance. Potential Regulatory Changes: Reclassification of cannabis could potentially alter tax liabilities, creating new financial landscapes for industry players. Transactional Compliance: Industry participants, including vendors and landlords, must be aware of their tiered roles and related banking challenges. Early Professional Involvement: Engaging a knowledgeable CPA early can mitigate complex tax and regulatory missteps.

In this festive edition of the Teaching Tax Flow podcast, episode 115 brings listeners intriguing insights into what can be considered 'gifts' from the IRS. Chris Picciurro and John Tripolsky delve into the intricacies of tax benefits that many taxpayers may overlook. These gifts, appropriate for taxpayers from various income brackets, serve as a crucial reminder of the opportunities within tax law to ease financial burdens, especially during the holiday season. Throughout the episode, Chris highlights five significant tax code sections, including the 1031 Exchange, Health Savings Accounts, and the Augusta Rule, among others. Each section promises a myriad of advantages, urging the audience to capitalize on these provisions to manage capital gains, medical costs, and even property sales more effectively. With an engaging and informative tone, this episode is a treasure trove for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of beneficial yet lesser-known elements of the tax code. Key Takeaways: 1031 Exchange : Enables taxpayers to defer capital gains taxes on real estate by reinvesting the proceeds into "like-kind" property, thereby enhancing investment potential. Health Savings Accounts (HSA) : This triple tax-advantage tool offers deductions, tax-free growth, and tax-free withdrawals for qualified medical expenses. Section 121 Exclusion : Allows homeowners to exclude up to $500,000 in capital gains from the sale of a primary residence if specific criteria are met. Augusta Rule : Homeowners can rent their primary residence for up to 14 days tax-free, opening opportunities for additional income during high-demand events. Step-Up in Basis : Offers substantial tax savings by resetting the cost basis of an inherited asset to its fair market value at the time of the original owner’s death. Notable Quotes: “You get a deduction for putting the money in. The money grows tax-deferred, and it gets taken out in a qualified distribution, tax-free.” – Chris Picciurro “The IRS doesn’t give us too many gifts, but I wanted to identify my five favorite gifts that the IRS gives us.” – Chris Picciurro “This could be a great opportunity for you if you're in a situation where you're selling property and you don't need the cash.” – Chris Picciurro “Remember, you’ve got to identify the replacement property within 45 days, and you’ve got to close within 180.” – Chris Picciurro “If you inherit an asset, your cost basis in that asset is the fair market value of the asset the day you inherited it.” – Chris Picciurro Ep. 73 | Understanding 'Step-Up in Basis' for Minimizing Taxes https://share.transistor.fm/s/d62de4b2 Ep. 85 | 1031 Exchange Update https://share.transistor.fm/s/4dcdb380 Episode Sponsor: Legacy Lock ( www.teachingtaxflow.com/legacy ) DISCOUNT CODE: Magic1495 (00:00) - Top Five IRS Gifts You Can Benefit From (04:39) - Understanding 1031 Exchanges and Health Savings Accounts (10:16) - Understanding the Section 121 Exclusion for Capital Gains (17:16) - Understanding the Augusta Rule for Tax-Free Rental Income (22:22) - Understanding Step-Up in Basis and Inherited Assets (27:19) - Tax Tips and Podcast Highlights from Teaching Tax Law…

In this episode of the Teaching Tax Flow podcast, hosts delve into the intricate relationship between student loans and taxes, a subject often misunderstood yet crucial. They explore the impact of student loans on financial planning and tax liabilities, dissecting significant elements such as the student loan interest deduction and loan forgiveness. The discussion is enriched by Chris Picciurro’s expert insights into strategies for managing student loans in conjunction with taxes. Listeners will gain a comprehensive understanding of how student loan interest deductions work, emphasizing key points such as the distinction between above-the-line and itemized deductions. Chris provides critical analysis of the existing thresholds for income and their effects on deductibility for taxpayers. Moving into the second segment, the conversation pivots to student loan forgiveness, detailing changes brought by the American Rescue Plan Act and its implications for tax-free debt forgiveness. Finally, the episode introduces innovative updates from the Secure 2.0 Act on employer contributions toward student loans, opening up new avenues for employee benefits and financial planning. Key Takeaways: The student loan interest deduction allows for a deduction of up to $2,500 annually, offering an above-the-line benefit but phasing out at certain income levels. The American Rescue Plan Act establishes temporary tax-free loan forgiveness from 2021 to 2025, significantly affecting individuals in forgiveness programs. Permanent exclusions allow certain professions, like public service workers and teachers, to benefit from tax-free forgiveness under specific conditions. The Secure 2.0 Act facilitates employer contributions to student loans in lieu of retirement fund contributions, promoting financial relief for employees. Careful planning around filing status could optimize student loan repayment strategies, aligning with income-based repayment and forgiveness goals. Notable Quotes: "One of the rule changes was the forgiveness of student loan debt and the taxability of that." – Chris Picciurro "The IRS allows taxpayers to deduct up to $2,500 of interest paid on any qualifying student loan annually." "One of the reasons that you would file married separately has to do with student loan debt." "The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 put a temporary exclusion for student loan debt forgiveness between the years of 2021 and 2025." "Employers now can contribute to student loan payments so instead of the employer funding a retirement plan contribution."

In this episode of the Teaching Tax Flow podcast, hosts Chris Picciurro and John Tripolsky delve into the intriguing topic of whether business owners should consider paying their spouses a salary. The episode explores the potential tax benefits and drawbacks associated with this strategy, aiming to provide clarity for entrepreneurs looking to optimize their tax situation. Sponsored by Reps Tracker, a real estate investment tax strategy tool, the podcast underscores the complexities and nuances of tax planning for small businesses. Chris highlights three primary reasons why a business owner might decide to put their spouse on payroll: maximizing contributions to retirement plans, creating deductible benefits, and reducing self-employment tax. The discussion dives deep into these strategies, providing tangible examples and clarifying stipulations, such as ensuring the spouse performs legitimate work. The episode also covers instances where it might not be advantageous to pay a spouse, emphasizing administrative burdens and potential tax pitfalls. Key Takeaways: Maximize Retirement Contributions: Paying a spouse can potentially double retirement savings through plans like solo 401(k)s, significantly enhancing tax-deferred savings options.

Episode Summary: Join the Teaching Tax Flow podcast for episode 111 as Chris Picciurro and John Tripolsky explore one of the most commonly asked questions among entrepreneurs and small business owners: "Should I be an LLC?" In this episode, Chris breaks down the complexities of LLCs—single-member and multi-member—providing clarifications on tax implications, asset protection, and operating requirements. Whether you are a budding entrepreneur, a real estate investor, or someone looking to optimize your business structure, stay tuned for an insightful discussion. LLCs, or Limited Liability Companies, offer various benefits and challenges for business owners. This episode delves into the myth that forming an LLC provides automatic tax benefits, explaining that in most cases, single-member LLCs do not offer tax advantages. Chris highlights the importance of choosing the right structure based on your specific business needs and potential liabilities. He also explores advanced considerations like being taxed as a corporation and the implications of multi-member LLCs, revealing the flexibility and administrative responsibilities involved. Key Takeaways: Forming an LLC does not inherently provide tax benefits unless making additional tax elections, particularly for single-member LLCs. A key advantage of LLCs is liability protection, which can safeguard personal assets, though compliance must be maintained to avoid piercing the corporate veil. Multi-member LLCs provide flexibility in ownership structuring, allowing allocation of income, deductions, and credits beyond proportionate equity. Tax returns for multi-member LLCs can be complex and costly, highlighting the importance of weighing structure options. Consulting with a tax professional or attorney is vital prior to forming an LLC to ensure you select the most suitable business structure for your goals. Notable Quotes: "Forming an LLC does not provide additional tax deductions that didn't exist before." "The advantage of a multi-member LLC is the flexibility in ownership and allocation of income." "A single-member LLC is a disregarded entity for federal tax purposes." "The operating agreement of an LLC is like its bylaws—integral and should be well-structured." "Talk to an attorney or tax professional before forming an LLC or electing corporate tax status."
