Questions answered:
- When the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act expires will SALT deductions come back?
- What is the SALT deduction?
- Is the recent CA gas tax refund taxable?
- Is the Standard Deduction for a couple over age 65 an additional $2,800 (2x $1,400 each) added to the $25,900?
- For the 10 Year distribution window for inherited IRA, is this anytime during the 10 years from the date of death?
- I've heard Joe and Big Al say converting from Traditional IRA to Roth IRA up to the top of the 22% or 24% tax brackets will maximize the conversion and limit taxable income for the year. Is this for Marginal or Effective tax rates? My 2021 Marginal Tax rate was 12% and Effective was 6.3%. AGI ~$100,000, Taxable income ~$75,000. How much more could I convert to ROTH going forward to stay under the 22% Effective tax rate?
- Can I transfer money directly from my IRA to a charitable organization? What is the tax consequence? Can this be counted as a part of RMD?
- I have become a caregiver for a parent. Are there any 2022 or 2023 Federal and/or State (CA) deduction(s) available to my wife and myself?
- How do I establish a Donor Advised Fund?
