How to Avoid Tax Scams During a Pandemic

Let's preview today's show...

Being in financial services for over 20 years now, I've found that most people worry.

They've worked hard their entire life and now retirement has been thrust upon them. And while they think they're doing okay, they just aren't sure. There's so much to know and by their own admission, they don't know what they don't know, and that causes the worry. Worry that paralyzes you into doing nothing.  

So if that sounds like you, you're listening to the right show.

I specialize in managing retirement accounts. I'll guide you to the right investments that can give you an income that is predictable, consistent, safe and can even increase every year, no matter what the market does. Ultimately giving you the peace of mind you're looking for.

The title of the show today is "How to Avoid Tax Scams During a Pandemic".

The IRS releases an annual list of what it calls the Dirty Dozen Tax scams, and it gets updated every year. And they just released 2021. So I'm going to walk through each of the scams so you can understand what to look for and more importantly, how to avoid getting taken advantage of.

Later on in the show we'll have a fitness tip for as well as an announcement that you'll want to hear about.

And then I want to carve a little time to discuss variable annuities... I got a call this week from a friend who told me he found his dad bought a variable annuity and wanted to know what he got himself into. So I'm going to break that down for you.

As always I got a loaded show for you and I'm super excited... So grab your notepad and press play!!
