Amy P. Fennell • January 24, 2018
Louisiana REALTORS is providing a webinar with Former IRS attorney, Sandy Botkin as part of a member benefit partnership with TaxBot. The Tax Cuts Act was the biggest overhaul to the tax system in 3 decades. And it has fundamentally changed the tax game for self-employed people.
The media is mostly talking about changes to the tax rates and the personal deductions. But, they have largely ignored the details for small business. And there are some monumental changes that will affect you. If you don't know what is in this law, then you won't get the savings you deserve. On this webinar Sandy Botkin will teach you what the new tax law means for your business and he’ll explain it in plain English!
You can't afford to wait for your accountant to teach you about the tax changes. Your accountant is about to enter the busy season for filing 2017 taxes. They don't have time to learn all the nuances of the new tax code let alone teach it, until after April 15th...
By then you might have missed out on some major deductions.
Association emphasizes lower monthly expenses, more housing options and practical relief for Louisiana families.
Want Your Teen to Own a Home Someday?

And 88% of teens surveyed by Fannie Mae and Junior Achievement said they want to own a home someday. This week’s Consumer Guide: Talk to Your Teens About Money and Homeownership makes those conversations a little easier, covering everything from credit scores and budgeting to debt, renting versus owning and saving for that eventual down payment.
