  • New Year, New Beginnings - Putting Taxes Front and Center
    Jan 26 2026

    Hosts Taylor and Cody explain why the start of the year is the best time to move tax planning from an annual scramble to a year‑long strategy. With the individual 1040 season opening, they encourage proactive steps to avoid costly surprises.

    Actionable tips include reviewing last year’s return, checking W‑4 withholdings and estimated payments, maximizing tax‑advantaged accounts (401(k), HSA), and scheduling a mid‑year tax check‑in. They stress regular communication with a tax advisor to spot opportunities and make small changes that compound into significant savings.

    The episode emphasizes that tax planning is for everyone, not just the wealthy — thoughtful, timely decisions reduce taxes legally and lead to fewer surprises and better financial outcomes throughout the year.
