Hello Reader, We’re entering the summer season, which of course means a tax payment will soon be due! 🫤 Your second Estimated Tax Payment is due on June 17th. (Typically June 15th, but that’s a Saturday this year… so you get a few extra days.) Whether you receive part of your Private Practice earnings through a paycheck or not, you typically will need to make Estimated Tax Payments over the course of the year. These Estimated Tax Payments, when combined with any payroll tax withholding, help ensure that you avoid being hit with any underpayment penalties when you file your 2024 return next April. 👉 Make your Federal Estimated Tax Payment here. See below ⬇️ my signature for links to certain state Estimated Tax Payment websites. If you have a 401(k), there is an additional filing deadline coming up in July, see below for more details. As always, if you have any questions about what I’ve covered today — or anything else happening in your financial life — HIT REPLY and ask away! I read and respond to every email. Best, PS: I recently chatted with my friend Uriah on his podcast the Productive Therapist. We talked about all sorts of tax tips.

(Technically the last day of the 7th month after the plan year ends, but plan years almost always end on December 31). 🌟 If you have a company like Guideline managing your 401(k) they will almost certainly take care of this on your behalf. (Although it doesn’t hurt to double check.) If you have a Individual 401(k) often you will need to file Form 5500 on your own. This IRS website provides an overview on how to file. |

Hello Reader, Well, it’s been an interesting start to the year here in Los Angeles – to say the least. The wildfires that have decimated several neighborhoods here have impacted pretty much every Angeleno (yes, that’s what we’re called) in some way. We ended up evacuating last week – and while our neighborhood ended up being relatively unscathed, save the lingering air quality issues – it was nonetheless jarring. Of course the events are tragic and my heart goes out to those who have lost so...
Hello Reader, I hope you’re enjoying your holiday season! I realize it’s painfully cliche – but how is it possible that this year is almost over?! For me, the year has really flown by.

What things do I want to spend less of my limited time and energy on? I’m not huge on new year’s resolutions, but I do want...
Hi Reader, It’s a time of year many of us will be getting together with loved ones we don’t see that often.

What is a beneficiary designation? 🤔 A beneficiary designation designates who should get your account assets if you pass away. That person is the beneficiary of your account. Usually you can just fill out a form online through your financial institution. By doing so, you are creating a...
